Board Kept in Continuous Session by Angered Cohoes Mayor. Ru United Press COHOES, N. Y„ Jan. s.—The Cohoes board of aldermen, sleeping and eating during temporary recesses, remained in continuous session today while three missing aidermen, one a woman, needed to make a quorum, were sought by police. Mayor Congo, against whom the missing aldermen have declared the most effective filibuster on record by disappearing, said he would keep the board in session until they are found. The board recessed at 10 o’clock last night until 7 a. m. today to permit the three of the six aidermen who remained faithful to the mayor to snatch some sleep. The trouble started when the board went into session Wednesday afternoon to ratify the re-appoint-ment of Charles J. Nesson, the mayor’s choice for president of the board. Then came the holdout. When the aldermen failed to appear Wednesday night, Congo ssued an order for their arrest. Meanwhile. the board recessed at intervals during the all-night vigil and at intervals all of yesterday. Michael T. Smith, Democratic leader and head of the dissenting faction, promised to produce them “some time during the day,” but failed to do so. If the three are found and brought to the meeting, the appointment will be ratified by one vote Mayor Congo’s.

PLANNERS HELP PICK BALL SITE Park Board Hearing Ends ♦n Slight Flare. Park board members will sit jointly with the city plan commission at the hearing on the proposed north side baseball club site, Tuesday at 10 a. m. The park board, which has jurisdiction along boulevards, held a hearing Thursday, but continued the case. The hearing was enlivened by a tilt between Martin M. Hugg, ball club attorney, and a remonstrator, who made slurring remarks about Hugg’s client. Spectators separated them in the crowded corridor after Hugg struck at the north side property owner. Property owners filed a remonstrance against the proposal of the Indianapolis baseball club to build anew park along Thirty-Eighth St., south of the State fairground. State Auditor Lewis S. Bowman. Oscar F. Smith, former works board president, and Attorney Edward Holt headed the irate delegation who objected to the location. Mayor L. Ert Slack announced last week he favored the site. Hugg told the board the ball club would operate a “high class park which would be a credit to the community.” He said it would not be detrimental to the property.
