The East Side repeated its hysterical
welcome to William Sulzer, the deposed
Governor, last night. More than twen-
" thousand persons heard him speak
for the second time in and about the
Progressive Club of the 9th Assembly
District. Avenue c and 9TH street.
Mr. Sulzer for the first time told
his version of the Allan A. Ryan
$4,000 contribution. He said Ryan
didn't tell the whole story when he
testified before the Impeachment Court
for reasons best known to Ryan.
According to the dcposed Governor,
Chief" Murphy urged him 20 induce
Ryan to contribute, because money
was coming too slowly TO pay the
printing bills Of the state committee.
He said John H. Delaney, Murphy's
personal representative, came 10 his
(sulzer's) office, No. 115 Broadway, and
got Ryan on the phone and then put
sulzer on to talk TO him.

took it Uptown to Murphy. The re-
ceipt. so far as l can discover, was

never said Tell your father I'm the
same old BILL" he continued.
Mr. Sulzer declared that he did not
beseech Ryan TO get Murphy to call off
the Impeachment nor did he ask him As
q last resort to have Senator Root see
Barnes. II was the other way around.
he said In support of this he related
a telephone conversation which Ryan
had with him from Suffern. n. Y, one
night early in September.
He said Ryan assumed the name OF
Morgan" he was so afraid that wire
tappers would overhear him. Sulzer
said he couldn't make out who Ryan
was. so the latter had 10 mention his
first name. He said he saw Ryan later
in New York, when Ryan declared that
his trial was an outrage" that would
destroy the organization" and asked
permission to help him by having De
Lancey Nicholl see Murphy. He said

Travers Jerome first and then he men
