NEW YORK PRIMARY IS LOST

Senate Follows Action of Assembly and Defeats Law Approved by Ex-President Roosevelt, Albany, N. Y„ July 2.—Swiftly and emphatically the senate fell in line with the assembly and sent the Cobb direct nomination bill down to defeat The final vote was 25 yeas to 19 hoes, seven Republicans combining with the Democrats against the bill. Twenty-six votes were necessary to .pass the bill. The measure was killed after the amendments proposed by Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of the New, York corporation committee, and indorsed by Theodore Roosevelt had been incorporated in the measure by a vote of 24 to 21. An emergency message from the governor made It possible for the senate to vote on the amended measure. The result of the fight in the senate was even a more positive refusal to accept Theodore Roosevelt’s leadership in the matter than that of the assembly.
