Governor Sulzer continuing to xer-
else the functions of the executive,
signed among other papers a reQpfsi-
tion from the governor Of New Jersey
for the extradition of person incus'
tody in New York.
Adjutant General Hamilton, ksed OF
the National Guard of New York and
Sulzer appointee, recognized Aieu-
tenant Governor Glynn as acting gov.
ernor of the state. sending an eIifzSary
to him to ask if there were any or4ers
he cared to transmit Mr. Glynl tGd
he had no orders, and if he Ahbuld

The articles of impeachment. com
plaint and summons were serFe on
Governor Sulzer Immediately aftef his
arrival at the capitol by PatriEf p.
McCabe, clerk of the senate. The gov
ernor received Mr.. McCabe in the pres |
ence of a crowd of newspaper lmen
and capitol attendants. He shook
hands with Mr.. McCabe and tooH his
stand behind his big fat-top &esk, |
while the senate's envoy declaim9d:
81 am directed by the president OF
the senate to serve upon you a isum- |
mons and complaint and articles OF
impeachment" Governor Sulzer took |
the papers, grunted, and tossed them, |
unopened, on his desk. "All right" he
said.
Then he posed for photograph |
with Mr.. McCabe, asked the newspar
per men to be seated and sat down
himself at his desk. His private secre- |
tary stood beside him and made the |
following announcement:
THE governor has been enjoined by |
his counsel from making any state |
ment. l will say, however, on his be- |
half that illness of Mrs. Sulzer is CIV |
ing the governor considerable concern.
Her condition was very serious! The
specialist summoned from New York |
is here and the governor summoned
two other doctors from New York to
attend her."
When the governor learned OF the |
serious nature of Mrs. Sulzer's ailment
he declared, in an outburst of impul |
siveness, that he would never permit
her to take the witness stand at his
trial. Friends expect to dissuade him
from this, however, should her condi- |
ton improve sufficiently, as they be-
lieve that the governors case will be
materially strengthened when she tells
her version to the court.
In the opinion of some of the gov
ernor's friends, however, the court OF
impeachment will never sit in judg-
ment on his case and Mrs. Sulzer will
be saved the ordeal of examination at
the hands of counsel for political in
terests bitter toward her husband.
Mrs. Sulzer far from acting with
intent to do wrong, was entirely un-
conscious of the gravity of her offense
when she bought stocks with part
of her husbands campaign contribu-
TONS, asserted a close friend of the
Sulzer family "On the contrary, she
thought she was doing very sensible
thing. Her husband was involved in
debt when he began his campaign for
the governorship. He had saved moth
Ing during the years he was repre-
sentative at Washington. He Is not .
business man, and his wife thought
she was entirely within her rights in
providing for the future by putting
away something for rainy day, even
without his knowledge"
