New York, Oct. 21.-That Charles
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall.
offered money to William Sulzer, and
that the impeachment of Sulzer re-
suited from his refusal to take or
ders from the chief of the Tammany
clan. was the charge made by the
ousted Governor in an interview prin.
ted in an evening newspaper.
According to the former Governor,
his political death was the outcome
of conspiracy which began when
Sulzer refused to accept money from
Murphy just before he took Office as
the State executive. 80
Sulzer said he expressed surprise
when Murphy offered him money with
which to pay his debts. In his state
mentment the former Governor boldly
charges that the Tammany chiefHin
subsequently sent agents to him. The
offer of money, he adds, was subse-
Quently made in more alluring FORM.
but Sulzer declared that he had taken
office determined to shake OF the
shackles OF Tammany and spurned
every advance from that source.
The statement is the Compromised
exposure" which Sulzer wanted to
make during his trial in Albany, but
was withheld by his lawyers. In ais
dition to exposing a conspiracy. he
says, he wants to show the public
how the Tammany organization does
it's work.
Murphy is alleged To have demlnd-
ed appointments from the Governor.
and their second meeting took place
at the home of Judge Mccall, the
Tammany candidate for Mayor, de-
clares Sulzer. At that time, Sulzer
asserts, Murphy gave him list of
names of Tammany men he wanted
appointed to Office. Big issues, which
have been agitating New York 4city
and the rest of the State, were dis
cussed. says the deposed Governor,
and Murphy showed no hesitation in
giving his views. f
Murphy wanted James CARNEY, 8 dy.
ed-in-the-wool Tammany man. to be-
State Highway Commissioner. Sulxer
asserts, this being a rich Office for
contract work. Sulzef hectares Muir
ply grew threatening and practically
demanded that Gaffney be given the
place on penalty of haIng Tanmany
hurl its ponderous strength sl1inst
the Governor.
The late Mayor GaynorS -

Z Sulzer declares Murphy
full threats when it seemed thkt Sui
ger was getting too progressive In
his ideas for Tammany Hall, and
Tammany's ,old-fashioned political
methods. Finally Sulzer says, when
saw that the Governor was
determined to be independent he shit
ted his attacks and began to place
obstacles in the way of prison in
vestigation and other reforms.
Sulzer reveals considerable fnSide
history" Unknown to the people Of
the State, he and Murphy were at
war from the moment that he (Sulzer)
was inaugurated. Murphy, according
to the ousted Governor, attempted to
get the Governor under financial OBJ
legations to him so that he could dom.
mate the State Machiners, but failed.
The broadside takes a slap at the
which Sulzer asserts is
mainly dominated by Tammany Hall
In this CITY, He tells of attempta to
kill his progressive legislation, and
make his administration appear to be
Of little account. Sulzer says the final
threat from Murphy was that Of i'm
peachment, and declares that il he
had called off the Investigation Of
State departments he would not have
been impeached.
