Democratic Member-Elect Dies in
Washington.
Washington, March 2.?Represen
tative Michael F. Conry of New York
city, a Democratic member of con-1
gress for four terms and reelected for
a fifth, died here today after a long
illness from kidney trouble. He was
47 years old.
The death of one of the Democratic
members-elect may have an important!
effect on the political complexion of,
the house in the Sixty-fifth congress. I
The Democrats and" Republicans elect- j
ed 215 members each, and there are i
five independents upon whom depends f
which party shall organize the next I
i house.
If an extra session were called the
Democrats probably would go into
the organization fight only 214 strong.
Members of the New York delejra^on
are confident that a successor to Rep
resentative Conry will not be elected
until November. An election in No
vember, if the Demobrats wop, would
restore the even balance before the
regular December session.

Columbia, March 1.?There were
no new developments this morning in
connection with the fight for the pos
session of the chief game warden's of
fice now held bv Col. Alfred A. Rich
ardson.
Several days ago a South Carolina
newspaper wrote an editorial to the
effect that Governor Manning had
"gone gunning for irregularities iu
the chief game warden's office.'' It
was suggested today by one familiar
with the situation, that "Governor
Manning throws bombs of poisonous
ga.ses, to kill the reputation of the
chief game warden, only to find the
wind lias changed, thereby affecting
himself.'' This "close observer' con
tinued: "The governor is no true
sportsman, or he would not try tu
kill a partridge 011 the ground.*'
In regard to the controversy as to
whether the term of Col. Richardson,
the incumbent, expires on February

piration of the term is March 7, four
years from the date of his conhrma

| 'orney general on January 2S, 191?L
' may be of interest. In that opinion
i it was stated:
"As to the chief game warden. I will
' say that section 747 of the criminal
code, 1912, subdivision 5. provides.
'His term of office shall be four years.'
This appointment is made by the go\
ernor. upon the recommendation or
t>io AtiHnhnn <^nr>ipfv* of South CarO
Una, and subject to the approval of
the senate. Col. A. A. Richardson,
the present chief warden, was ap
pointed on the 2.~>th day of February,
1913. confirmed by the senate on the
7th day of March, 1913 (see senate
journal, page 927), and commissioned
on the 7th day of March, 1913. In my
1 opinion, his term of office expires four
years from date of his confirma
tion by the senate."
