New York, Oct. 3O.-The convic-
tion Of William Sulzer by the high
Court of impeachment and his re-
moval from office as Governor Of New
York was thrown into the Federal
Courts for review today by William
II. Moore, a printer of this city.
In remarkable petition Moore al
leges that the control of the Govern
ment of the State of New York has
passed from the people to small
group of citizens and that consequent
ly New York is no longer enjoying a
republican form of government as
guaranteed by the Federal Constitu..
ton.
Moore seeks to have the Court en-
join Martin III. Glynn from having
any OF the functions of governor,
prays for the restoration of the office
to Sulzer. attacks the assembly for
arrogating to itself the power to con-
vene in extra session and pass ar
ticles of impeachment and concludes
his petition with a prayer for an ex-
animation of the States books.

ment, Governor Glynn, Attorney Gen

charges certain group of men, con-
sisting partly Of the defendants and
partly OF men unnamed, with having
obtained control of the State, it's many
Offices and vast funds, for their sole
use and benefit.
1t will be recalled that Sulzer him.
self raised the contention that since
he had convened the Legislature in ex-
traordinary session 1t had no right to
take up the question of impeach-
'nient under the circumstances.
Attorney Leary, for VIM. H. Moore.
tonight said he would next week ap-
ply for a preliminary examination in
the case returnable i'm a week or ten
days. Leary explained that Sulzer had
been made a defendant i'm the case in
order to give him an opportunity to
join in the prayer of the complaint
and on the ground that the COM
plainant was entitled to relief against
Sulzer for abandoning the duties OF
his office.
"The filing of this action at this
time." said Mr.. Leary, "has no con-
nection with the fact that election is
imminent. II is not a political move.
We waited as long as we did in order
to give Governor Sulzer an oppor-
tunity to take such action on his own
initiative"
