Session by Refusing to

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 1S.-William
Sulzer, Governor Of the State of New
York at the outset of proceedings de-
signed to remove him from official
position, defied the high court of i'm
parchment to-day, and declined to
recognize its authority TO sit.
This action came after As members
of the Senate and nine members Of
the Court OF Appeals had solemnly
constituted themselves a court to try
the Governor.
The members had been sworn, the
court had decided that all nine Of the
present members of the Court of APP
peals should sit as judges. counsel
for Governor Sulzer had objected to
the sitting of the members of the
Frawley committee as part of the

NJ. Cullen decided that Governor Sui
GER be called to the bar.
Then 1t was that Sulzer, offering,
through his counsel merely a forma!
appearance. which did not recognize
he right of the court to sit, failed to
respond to the call.
In these circumstances the court,
which had convened at 1908 p. m,
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
At that time a committee of three
will report rules for procedure of the
court and the great legal contest will
be formally put in motion
The court as II is constituted CON
