 ALBANY. Sept 2T,-After a day spent in listening to lengthy arsu- ments. the nigh court for the trial of the impeachment of Governor William Sulzer adjourned tonight without hay ing decided whether the impeached executive will have to answer to the charges involving the misuse of funds contributed for his campaign last fall. It is expected however that the court will reach a decision early tomorrow. Jacob H. Schiff Abram l. Elkus. !. Henry Morranthau and others. who contributed 70 the Sulzer election fund will be on hand tomorrow to testify. Schfff the counsel announc- ed, will be the first witness for the prosecution on the contested facts
 His S-5oo contribution was not men toned in the sworn statement of the election expenses filed by the gov ernor.
 Sulzer submitted today to a ruling of the high court that the assembIr had the constitutional right to i'm peach him. This announcement was made in open court by Judge D. Cady Herrick, chief counsel of the i'm peached executive. who declared, The governor will bow to the will of the court with the exercise of nlu,. of the prero osatives of his office pend ing tne determination of the inn peaehment charges"
 The goVernor's statement of cam paign expenses and disbursements. sworn to and filed with the secretary of state. will be identified. On this statement the prosecution bases its most serious charges. The document shows that Sulzer received S5.460 in ' h. h. expended s1724 The articles of i'm peachment charge him with having received at least sS5,000, of which no mention was made in the sworn statement
 The managers are planning to cen , ter their fight upon the three ar l ticles having to do with the govern 1 or's campaign contributions and his alleged use of the funds in Wall street. if the court rules they may ] be considered. These are charges of | perjury, fraud and larceny. i The managers expect to prove all l three by the testimony of the same 1 witnesses. Each of them list the names of eleven contributors not mentioned in the governors cam i patgn statement all of whom will be i called.
 l was about equally divided between ] efforts of the governors counsel to convince the judges that the articles 1 dealing with campaign contributions should be dismissed and the argu- ments of their opponents that they were rfghtfullH included in the inn l peachment charges.
 The principal contention of the ', governors side was that the acts
 specified in the three articles objected
 to were committed. if at all while
 Suizer was private citizen. The
 opponents argued that they were so
 intimately connected with the office
 that it would be impossible to sep
 arate.
 -The managers here" declared
 Bracket. want to stand broadly
 upon the proposition that man may
 be wholly unfit for governor of the empire state some little time before
 he is really ripe for states prisoner
 The dividing line between tWo-pe-
 ine ripeness for the states prison
 ana qualification for the governor
 shir-is broader than that
