speeches to enthusiastic audiences on tne
East Side last night. Only one or the
speeches was scheduled. That was the
first. in bennington Hall, in East "a
street. The others were made necessary
by reason of the clamorous yeIls or
Speech from the crowds. Two were
made on either side of the gymnasium OF
Hamilton Fish Park. One was made on
9Th street, between Avenue and Avenue
c. At least twenty-five thousand persons
were at each OF these last meetings, and
the fifth meeting, or more properly the
second, was outside bennington Hall,
where there were gathered ten thousand
persons.
Wherever the deposed Governor went the
multitudes that followed him actually
paralyzed all traffic in their immediate
vicinity. One automobile that tried to
rush through the crowd at mis- last
speech, in 9Th street, actually was lifted
of the street by the Suzer enthusiasts,
and the chauffeur, who would have come
TO serious injury but for the presence Of
Lieutenant James Walsh and the police
reserves, was forced to turn back.

said that Levy had brought disgrace on
Israel by the part he played in the I'm
parchment proceedings.
Levy, who bears a name handed down
TO us from the sacred temples OF Old

ings, has brought disgrace upon the
name and upon Israel"
And for several minutes the audience
booed and Kissed Levy.
And whatever doubt remained as TO
which Sulzer would support OF the
two anti-Tammany candidates running
against Levy for the Justiceship OF the
I'd Municipal Court was swept away last
night when Sulzer came out openly for

among those names. as contributors to

name of one George w. Plunlltt for the
sum of $500. This is "Tightwad' Plunkitt,
otherwise known as Honest Graft

on the statement Of the state committee
for 5000? They tell me 'Tightwad'

Democratic party from the demnition
bow-wows. IL he did contribute this
money let Plunkltt say so, and tell where
he got it, Has he a receipt for It? Did
he pay it in cash or by check? Can he
produce the check? Will his bank account
show that he drew the money out in cash?

Murphy tell about II. Plunkitt and Muir

tributions received by Tammany Hall and
the Democratic State Committee last fall

with the secretary or state.

copy OF it in my possession"
A Few Questions fer Murphy.
Sulzer again expressed a desire for
Murphy TO tell how he had amassed his
fortune of sl5.OO0O00, then framed few
more questions which he said he hoped
the Chief" would answer.
