Bryan Alleges Shortage fcpeclal Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, May L—Failure of the house and senate to .agree on whether ■ the governor sjiould be given an ap*: propriation of $60,000 for code secre-1 taries in the face of a certain veto of the Mathers-Dysart bill, which pro-1 t ides for grouping state activities un der constitutional officers, resulted in a deadlock in the legislature tonight. As a result both house and senate ad journed until 9 in the morning in the hope that conference committees working on the discrimination rnignt agree. The house took the position that as the Mathers-Dysart bill passed by j both Dodies eliminated code secre taries, an appropriation for payment of something that should not exist ! was pot necessary. The senate con tended inasmuch as Governor Bryan< ^►mourned the Mathers-Dysart bill ^vvould be vetoed as soon as it was eu*4 glossed and sent to him. that the gov ernor should retain the code and should* have money for salaries of sec retaries.

Bryan Gives Statement. Governor Bryan at noon today call ed newspaper men in his office and made two announcements.

While members of the senate ex pressed the opinion that If the gov ernor believed this statement was true he should have presented facts and figures weeks ago to prove it. they appointed a committee composed of Wilkins. Robbins and Banning, to re main after the session and go over state finances thoroughly to discover whether such a condition of affairs really existed. At the time the Governor first made this statement a committee from the house and senate was appointed to investigate. The committees found that Instead of deficiency existing In the treasury ns th« governor claimed there would be a balance on hand at the end of the biennium, .fun" 30.
