The 133rd New York State Legislature, consisting of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly, met from January 5 to July 1, 1910, during the fourth year of Charles Evans Hughes's governorship, in Albany.

Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1894, re-apportioned in 1906 and 1907, 51 Senators and 150 assemblymen were elected in single-seat districts; senators for a two-year term, assemblymen for a one-year term. The senatorial districts were made up of entire counties, except New York County (twelve districts), Kings County (eight districts), Erie County (three districts) and Monroe County (two districts). The Assembly districts were made up of contiguous area, all within the same county.

At this time there were two major political parties: the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.

The New York state election, 1909, was held on November 2. No statewide elective offices were up for election.

On January 4, the Republican state senators met in caucus and nominated Jotham P. Allds for President pro tempore. Eight senators (Agnew, Brackett, Conger, Cordts, Davenport, Hinman, Newcomb and Rose) did not attend the caucus, and issued a statement opposing Allds.

The Legislature met for the regular session at the State Capitol in Albany on January 5, 1910; and adjourned on May 27.

James Wolcott Wadsworth, Jr. (R) was re-elected Speaker.

Jotham P. Allds (R) was elected President pro tempore of the State Senate.

On January 18, the press published that Senator Benn Conger accused Allds of having demanded and received bribes.

On January 19, Allds demanded an investigation by the State Senate.
