refuses to discuss the report that tbe

six years, andI always -had implicit

"During my administration as presi-&('-nt

There are no new . developments in
the controversy if such it may be term
ed, between .Commissioner W. A. Gra
ham on the one hand and the Board of
Agriculture on the other over the ques
tion of usurpation by the board, though
it was indicated last night thatTnem
bers of the board may today issue a
statement giving their side of the mat

that the commissioner will come for

however; that the commissioner's re

will not, adjourn before this evening,
it is thought, 'and at this time state

" There seemed little hope at noon to
