J., Dec. 27.-(ff) -Governor Harold G. Hoffman said today he believed that tech nically he was without power to reprieve Bruno Richard Haupt mann should the court of pardons refuse clemency. The governor observed that al though last-minute reprieves have been granted in recent years, the constitution limits the reprie7e power to within 90 days of "con viction." This 90-day period has been generally interpreted to mean 90 days after all appeals are x hausted, but the governor said information given him by legal authorities was that it meant 90 days after conviction in the lower court. Hauptmann was convicted February 13, and under such a ruling the reprieve power expired May 13. "On a technical interpretation of the law," the governor said, "the governor would be without power to reprieve. My present im pression is that in this case the governor is without power to re prieve." Powers Assigned To Study Project WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-0P)-Professor W.
