Side Again Frantic

Ex-Governor Sulzer. who is suffering
from hoarseness, intended to give MS
voice a rest last night. but the enthusi-
asm that has followed him since his ar
rival here from Albany on Tuesday
night forced him to make three
speeches. In each he attacked Murphy
afresh, demanding to know what he did
with campaign funds that he never ac-
knowledged and asking him with re-
gard to his private fortune:
Where did you get it?'
He defied Murphy or his agents to in
dict him. as they are now threatening
and for the first time he made an at
tack upon Edward r.. Mccall, calling
him "Nlurphy's dummy candidate for
Mayor" The mention OF McCaifs
name caused as much booing AS the
mention of Murphy's did.
Sulzer branded as cowardly the at
tacks now being made on Mrs. Sulzer.

Immediately the house broke into

up toward the Sulzer box.
Then the deposed Governor arose and
the clamor increased. II stilled, how
ever, at wave Of his hand. He said:

with the approval OF my conscience,
than the proxy Governor OF Charles f..
Murphy"
This caused the audience To break
into a wilder demonstration than had
so fa. occurred When silence was re-
stored he continued:
NO matter what Murphy's high court
OF infamy did to me. know what the
higher court. the court Of public opin-
ion. will do To Murphy on Election
Day"
Then the x-Governor sat down, and
again the audience applauded him.
After leaving the theatre the deposed
Governor went To Burgers restaurant
and cafe, on Avenue G, where he was
the guest Of Max Steindler. The auto
mobile containing Samuel Bell Thomas
arrived there before Suffers car. and
the crowd of six or seven thousand who
blocked the street mistook the tall and
lanky lawyer for the Progressive cam
didate for Assembly and set UP cheer.
When Sulzer did arrive. "A few min
utes later, he was cheered for fully ten
minutes. When he was about TO speak
some poet in the crowd yelled at the
top OF his voice
Down, down with Tammany's door!
Sulzer and Hennessy give us more!"
Before entering the restaurant Sulzer
said to his madly enthusiastic audi
ence:
Criminal Always Drops Stitch"
Through the columns Of Mr.. Murphy's
favorte newspaper | read that he now
bitterly repents his failure to order the
High Court OF Impeachment to disable me
from holding public once. That is the
common error OF all persons who plot
crime. They always drop stitch some
where. and so the whole fabric Is botched.
"The Chief had grown so used to get
ting away with his jobs that he never
dreamed he would be baked when he
threw me out OF the Governorship.
"The appeal to the high court of public
oniuion from the packed Court OF Inn
