Ai.uant, April 7. Responsibility for outlawing tho Socialist party will be shifted to the courts by the terms of two bills offered In both houses to-day on behalf of Speaker Sweet and his supporters In the ouster proceedings. By th i shrewd movo the wlioie matter and all tho testimony taken the trials will be referred to the Appellate Division. The bills were introduced In the Sen-ate by Henry J. Walters, majority leader, and In the Assembly by George-It.

Fearon, Republican, both from Onondaga, where Speaker Sweet lives. Ex plaining the move the Speaker said "It is purposed to exclude from the right to hold any civil office of the State or of any municipal corporation or political subdivision thereof any mem ber of a political organization which, as determined by the Supreme Court under tho election law, supports, advocates, maintains or declares for principles, doctrines or policies which If carried out would endanger the existing Government of tho United States or of the State of New York, and the rights, privileges and Institutions secured under the Constitution thereof. It Is further provided that any person who advocates, supports or is committed to the principles of a political organization which has thus been declared to bo opposed to existing governmental Institutions shall not bo eligible to hold any civil oillce wJthln the State." Speaker Sweet said the bills were drawn so as to include specifically the control of party over candidate, which Is exercised by the Socialist party, as brought out In testimony of George H. I.unn of Schenectady at the trial. Mayor Lonn testified that he had beey ordered by his party to resign because he declined to heed its mandates.

The bills, designed to affect only the Socialists, may make any sort of party control over a candidate subject to penalty. The bills specifically Include In th d'sbarment from public office those who aro even In sympathy with a party judged an opposed to accepted forms of Government. In any case the courts must act beforo tho ejection of members of the party can be accomplished. Then expulsion will follow automatically. If the courts hold the Socialist party is thoroughly opposed to American Institutions Socialists in otiico will be ousted without further proceeding.

If for any reason you decide not to call such special elections upon the ground that the vacancies were created beforo tho, first day of April I urge you In the public Interest to call a special session of tho Legislature so to meet after tho adjournment of the present session and to consider such Important subjects affecting tho welfare of the people of this State as you may recommend," LOBBYISTS CROWD ASSEMBLY HALLS Heprescntatives of All Kinds of Interests Press Legislature in Closing Days.

At.DANT, April 7. nepubllcans'ln the Assembly to-day prevented Tammany killing the Simpson bill, through which Comptroller Crals Is seeking the aboli tion of the office of City Chamberlain. Minority Leader Charles Donohuc moved to recommit the measure when it was reached on the second reading calendar, A rising voto was called for and the en-tiro majority sldo rose ngalnst it.

"The purposes of the office of Chamber lain," said Donohue, is to provide a check on the Comptroller. The Cham bcrlaln Is appointed by the Mayor, whereas the Comptroller Is elected Sometimes they are of opposite political faiths, and If this office Is abolished the entire power Is transferred to the Comp trollcr. In any event I think It unwise to abolish tho office in tho middle of the term of tho Mayor." Assemblyman Simpson replied that the office was unnecessary. "Two former Chamberlains have said to me," he declared, "that they considered the office unessential, and tho present Chamberlain has not spet more than two hours a week on the Job since he took office. As for the check on the Comptroller, the Mayor already has that as ho has to countersign all vouchers." Assemblymen Simpson said the Comptroller is now frequently embarrassed because of tho withdrawal from banks by tho Chamberlain of money which he needs in meeting the city's obligations.

Staten Island spoke with unanimous voico to-day in opposition to the Burlingame bill which would Invade Its Judicial organization by detach ng that borough from the Second to the First Judicial department. At a hearing bef re the Senate Judic-ary Committee, the measure was denounced by members' of the bench, the bar and by spokesmen for tho public of Richmond as a political trick.

Clark and Townsend Scudder. James M. Gray, for the Rrooklyn Bar Association George Cromwell and Abe Gilbert, for the New York County Republican Committee George M.

Plnney of terc Island arid Francis F. Leman of the Richmond County Bar Association all opposed tho bill. Brooklyn Republicans are anxious to detach tho 5.000 Richmond plurality from that borough, and Tammany would welcome it. Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw Tells Spcnker Sweet irer Mind on Welfare Bills.
