SULZER SAVED BUT
FOR FRIENDS ERROR
If Vote Had Been Forced Tam.
many Would Have Lost,
Says Murphy Man.

From star correspondent OF The Tr!bune.l
Albany. Aug. u CTuesday).-After
the adjournment OF the Legislature the
Tammany leaders went into conference
at . O'Clock this morning 10 estimate
their probable chance of impeachins
Governor Sulzer at the session sched-
uled for II a. m.
Speaker Alfred T.. Smith, the Assem-
bly, leader. Aaron J. Levy; Senator
Robert r Wagner the majority Lead
er: James a. Foley, the Senator from
Murphy's home district. and several
of Tammany's most expert legal au-
thorities met i'm Wagner's office in the
Capitol to map out the plan of action
for the vital session later to-day.
Smith and Levy brought up first the
list OF absentees from greater New
York and the most urgent kilograms
ever sent out by Tammany legislative
leaders were filed 10 the men who dld
not report last night, demanding that
they drop everything and hurry up
here on the Empire State Express this
morning.
on their best vote last night, and
early this morning, Tammany counted
, 90 votes: on their poorest o.. Levy
and Smith declared they could add
twenty votes 10 that total by | o'clock
this afternoon.
The Tammany leaders were well
pleased also at the manner i'm which
suffers adherents played into their
hands last night by working for
postponement of action.
IF they had bent jhcir efforts
toward forcing vote last night they
, would have saved Sulzer. because We
| could not muster the necessary seven
ty-six votes,' said one of the Tammany
conferrees. "but they felf INTO the error
that any postponement was better than
immediate action"
Assemblyman Levy expressed him
self after the early morning conference
bas being confident that the Tammany
majority would have more than twen-
~ votes over the sixty-two they mus
tered last night when the final ques-
ton OF Suffers impeachment came TO
vote.

THE evidence further showed tn1t
the check OF william Sulzer Tor S"V
WAS drawn on the Farmers Loan ana
Trust Company account above reierreu
TO. and no one can doubt but that al
OF these checks were for campaign
contributions, especially as Spaioius
testified that his check was given TOR
that specific purpose and that IL went
I'm with other checks contributed for
campaign purposes by members OF the
Manhattan Club.
THE committee had produced before
II another account for the purchase ~
900 shares Of Big Four stock from the
firm OF Fuller e. Gray, paid for by Sll'-
So5 in currency between the 2lst and
31st DAYS OF October, 1912, during the
campaign, this account being known as
No. 800, for the purpose of concealing
the fact that the account belonged to
William Sulzer; and this stock was dc
livered In devious ways to me
dummy Colwell, who met the mes
senger by appointment at the Nassau
National Ba :. in New York city.
This same Colwell, when again sub
ppnacd for another hearing, after
having refused TO testify as above
stated, failed to appear when his name
was called. and Is now In contempt Of
the LEGISLATURE, as Is also the former
confidential secretary Of William Sui

THE foregoing is a summary OF the
salient facts and evidence in relation 10
campaign contributions and the con-
version thereof. and one Of the most
significant features of this evidence,
aside from and in addition to the large
checks received for campaign purposes
and not accounted for in the sworn
statement, is the large amount OF cur
