DECLARES WILSON
MUST NOW RESIGN
Governor GilIett Says He Sees No
Reason Why Alleged Bribe Taker
Should Longer Remain
In Office
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, April Ex-Governor
Gillett left this afternoon for San
Francisco. AS soon as he reaches there
he will request Andrew M. Wilson, the
San Francisco supervisor, who is al
legged to have confessed to accepting
bribes, with his fellow members, and
who Is a member of the state railroad
commission, to resign his position as a
state official.
No time, so the governor stated this
morning, will be lost in taking this
action.
The governor believes that the al
legged confession made to the grand
jury by Wilson is sufficient ground for
executive interference and he will see
that Wilson resigns. In speaking
about his proposed action, the governor
said:
Wilson has confessed and his con-
fession has been published. 1t seems
to me that is enough to warrant my
taking immediate action. 1 will ask
Wilson to resign. 1t is very probable
he will do so. I am going to see that
he does at any rate"

SAN BERNARDINO, April 29-
State Controller w. e. Nye, who was
today depose7 from office by Governor
Gillett, left tonight for Sacramento.
Mr.. Nye has been II the south with
members of the state board of equali-
zation on an official visit. Before
leaving he gave out the following au-
thorized statement:
II had no intimation that Governor
Gillett intended to appoint Mr.. Mat
tison or any one else to the office.
About three months ago. during the
early days of the legislative session,
there was a report current in Sacra-
mento that a plan to make Mr.. Matti-
son controller in my place was on
foot, but nothing came of it at that
time and / think there has heen a
general belief that the present gov
ernor would not claim the right. to
make the appointment.
Before Governor 2ardee appointed
me January the whole question of
his right to do so and my right to
hold office the full term of four years
was examined carefully by lawyers in
whom l have every confidence. They
assured me I need not entertain any
doubt / have none. I believe my
title to the office is as good as the
constitution and the supreme court can
make it, f>r questions which appear to
he involved have been repeatedly
passed upon by the courts.
N'Under the circumstances / shall of
course contest tie claim of Mattison
or anybody who endeavors to displace
me. Governor Pardee appointed me to
two offices First, as private secre-
tary and afterward controller, without
any request or application on my part
for either position. 1t had been my
expectation when the appointment of
private secretary expired to 20 back
to my former pursuits, for 1 was not
a candidate for any public position,
and am sure Governor Pardee had no
intention of. appointing me to any.
Only the sudden, regrettable death
just at that time caused {. change in
the program.
1.-THE office of state controller is an
important and responsible one, and
when Governor Pardee offered it to me
/ accepted with TIE determination to
render the state good servic1 and to
do justice to all interests affected.
cat the same time I heard that some
of those interests werc not pleased that
/ should be controller, still less an
ex-officio member of tie state board
of equalization.
''Any governor of California ought
to be a man free from suspicion of
unworthy motive in his official acts.
When Governor Gillett took the office
/ rendered him my fullest assistance,
assured him of my desire to cooperate
in making his administration a sue
Our rpIqtinnG nargOnallU have
been very friendly, as far as know,
and it is something of a surprise to
me that while I was absent from the
capital on public duty the governor
should attempt to remove me from Of
flee without even the ordinary courtesy
of apprising me Of his intention to do
So"
