Only Three Visits, He Ayers.

Governor Sulzer described in detail
the three times he said he had seen
Murphy since he became Governor.
The first time was when Murphy came
to Albany as Presidential elector.
The second time was after a dinner In
New York at which Murphy was pres
ent and the third time was on April 13.
Previous 10 that time the Governor
said that everything had been done 40
prevent him from removing Colonel Jo-
seph f. Scott as State Superintendent
Of Prisons He said that he then asked
Murphy 10 keep his hands off the
Legislature and allow him 10 appoint
John b. Riley, of Plattsburg. to sue
ceed Scott, and John Mitchell as Laoor
Commissioner, and asked him TO permit
the Legislature 10 pass a real direct
primary bill.
Murphy was so angry at his requests,
the Governor asserted, that ne said
things to him of such a character that
he could not give them out for puhli-
cation. Because of the treatment ac-
corded him by Murphy, the Governor
declared, he was discouraged on t.
turning to Albany. but he said that be-
cause Of the spies he knew To be src-
rounding him he told nobody Of the
visit except his wife
Il told her" said the Governor. that
/ thought there were only three courses
open to me. one was to resign, one 10
give I'm and the other to fight"
The Governor said he asked Mrs.
Suffers advice and that she in return
asked him what he contemplated do
ing. He told her he would fight The
Governor said Mrs. Sulzer replied that
she loved him all the more for his de-
termination.
Earlier in the day the Governor vas
asked for a statement about Judge
Curtiss allegation that petition
charging perjury had been signed by

affair will probably be dropped except
for such action as the Bar Association
may take. The story which was re-
