Murphy Wanted Money.
Sulzer started his explanation Of the
Ryan contribution tonight by declar-
ing that after he was nominated for

expressed reluctance to go to the "spe-

Murphy urged, but the Tammany lead

Mr. Murphy has charged me with
Incorporating campaign money. 1

and there is not word Of truth in the
accusation.
"The Frawley committee proved on
the trial that i had received about
