ADMITS He USED
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
GOVERNOR sULZER OF NEW YORK
DENIES CHARGE or SPECULATE
ING HOWEVER.

Albany, N. T., Aug. 1.-The brief
statement given out by Gov. Sulzer last
night, after a protracted conference In
which he denied having speculated In
Wall street but admits having made
temporary personal use Of some OF the
campaign contributions. has stimulated
curiosity as to what attitude the gov
ernor will take toward the threatened
impeachment proceedings which are
expected as q result Of the Frawley
legislative investigation committees
preliminary report 10 the legislature
tonight.
In view Of the governors Arm con-
tention that the present Legislature has
ceased to exist, the opinion is express-
ed by some Of his supporters that an
effort will be made to block the pro-
gram Of his opponents through some
legal process, Notwithstanding the con-
trary opinion rendered by Attorney
General Carmody.
It is pointed out that II the COVER
nor's attorney devise any means OF
procuring ~cognizance OF this matter by
any judicial tribunal, whatever the
findings Of such tribunal might be, the
logical outcome would be to carry the
case to the court OF appeals, and as
the judges Of this court are also made
by the constitution as essential part OF
the court of Impeachment, It would DO
impracticable for them to act in this
capacity until the judicial proceedings
YER finally settled.
Even IL the final adjudication should
be averse to the governor, it would
greatly delay an impeachment trial
and unless specially expedited the is-
sue might not be determined before 9
new assembly qualified.
Starts Own inquiry.
Governor Sulzer's attempt to offset
the Frawley committee work by an In
vestigation, started auspiciously to-
day. John A. Hennessy, the special
commissioner" appointed by the gov
ernor to Investigate irregularities In
any state department" announced
that he would subject Senator James
A. Frawley, chairman OF the Frawley
committee, to a searching examina.
ton.
Commissioners Hennessy stated It
was his intention to put on the stand
certain witnesses before the Frawley
and that II any evidence OF
perjury is disclosed he would procure
summary punishment"
At the opening Of his hearings today
Mr.. Hennessy read a letter from
Matthew j. Morgan. an employee OF
the Frawley committee. declining to
honor a subpoena on the ground that
his time is entirely taken up by the
Frawley committee. Mr.. Hennessy
then read what he called a certified
statement, which indicated that Hor-

Gentlemen

been absolutely legitimate In every re-
spect. One article In one Of our papers
last Saturday night does them a great
injustice as 1t infers that there were
mixed up in some graft and compares
them with Mulhall.

ledge or any part in the sale of the
voting machines In Chicago. Since
that time, however, I have been con.
suited by my clients on matters which
I am not at liberty to say anything
about.
One Of our papers inferred or stated
that undue influence had been brought
to bear upon use to get information or
something to that effect. This is In no

the meat was thrown into the yard

number of dogs that have died in

Last evening Rev. W.. S. Colegrove
delivered the first message in the
|evangelistic campaign. His theme
was, "lnef1ciency in Christian Serv-
ice-Its Cause, HIS remarks being
based on the disciples question con-
corning their inability to exercise
demon: "Why could not we cast him
out?" and Christ's reply, Because of
your unbelief.' He said in part:
:''Sin is an awful power, but that
fact is not the only reason that men
and women around us remain in it's
bondage-it is because of our un-
belief The resurrection of Lazar-
us was delayed for time because of
the unbelief of his relatives. They
hesitated to open the grave, telling
the Lord; that the body was already
corrupted, So the rescue and saliva
ton of those in sin is now retarded by
unbelief of Christians. Christ is de-
pending upon us to get the devil out
channel through which to reach them.
But if We are to be used by Him in
winning souls we must have deep
sense of the meaning of sin as it ap-
pears in Gods sight and there must
be an unconditional surrender to
Christ" --.'~'. 1-.|.. z. 90. ~ ~:
