"oTHER BOSSES" SAYS sULZER
New York, Nov. 1.-Gov. Sulzer,
in a special interview, declares that
he is not the only governor who
might tell such story as has held
New York up to shame before the
entire country, but the difference be-
tween he and other governors is that
he refused to submit.
"Chief Murphy is not the only boss,
although he may represent the worst
type" Sulzer stated. There are 9TH
er governors who might tell of or
ders being received from the head of
invisible government There have
probably been other 'Gaffney or war
messages. The difference is that 1
refused to submit, and the threats
that l would be ruined were ordered
made good. ....-. g..
Next Tuesday the answer will be
given to Mr.. Murphy's recall. The
question is whether Murphy has the
power to recall governor because
he refused to be a rubber stamp, or
whether the people may recall Muir
ply from his domination of the city
and state politics. The question
which >the people may answer for
themselves is whether l would have
been removed from Office had the re-
call rested with them
