Show HUGHES REFORM BILLS MAY DIE BEFORE PASSING j ALBANY, X. V.. June 9. Precarious In ! tho extreme is tho condition of the bills framed to carry out Governor Hughes' renewed re-newed recommendation of the abolition ! of tho present legal protection of public 1 gambling at race tracks. Governor Hughes and tho friends of the bills con- , lldcntly expect that Senator Foolkler of Brooklyn, whose vote is apparently indispensable in-dispensable to the passage of the "bills, and who has been absent because of 111- ness, will come to Albany tomorrow in time to vote for the bills, should they roach that stage of progress. The point in which the measures stand tonight, howeverr Is one that lies in the shortness of the time remaining before the hour of 2 p. m. on Thursday, when the loaders of both houses Intend to adjourn the I extraordinary session without delay, in order to start for Chicago to attend the ( Republican National convention.
