Hughes Wins First Stage of the Fight
Gov. Hughes gains a preliminary victory as a special legislative committee recommends placing telephone and telegraph firms under the New York Public Service Commission. The plan targets Western Union and Postal Telegraph for state rate and service oversight while Farmers' Telephone lines remain outside the scope. The report, amid insurance probes and Albany power struggles, is seen as a strategic win for Hughes.
