Indianapolis, ..June 17.—Preparations for the opening of the special session of the Indiana general assembly, which Governor Jas. P. Goodrich has announced he will call, were begun today at the state house. ’ The date for the session has not yet been set, but it was believed the first meeting will probably be held Monday, June 28. Governor Goodrich has not yet completed the call for the session and has not determined what subjects he will lay before the body in his message. Republican leaders here today expressed the hope that the session would be short, lasting not more than ten days. Senator James E. Watson said he believed a short session should be held and that conferences looking to this end would be arranged. Edmund M. Wasmuth, republican state chairman, said tonight he did not expect to call a meeting of the state committee prior to the meeting of the legislature. Mr. Wasmuth left tonight for Huntington.
