Albany, N. Y, Aug. 16.-That Mrs.

under direct orders from Tammany
wormed his way into the confidence of
the Sulzer household, it was declared

statement of Governor Sulzer before
the court of impeachment, providing
the case goes to trial.

Four was due for a sensational rise"
The Sulzer finances at that time were
low. Sulzer owed approximately
$4,000. Mrs. Sulzer was urged to
use campaign contributions to make
this Big Four stock and pay 1t back
after the stock scared, so the story
goes.
All this time, so the defense will at
tempt to show, the "tipster," a Tam
many agent, in constant touch with
that organization, knew there was no
possibility of such q sensational se I'm
Big Four. An attempt will be made
to show that this Tammany agent
tried to get Mrs. Sulzer to pay the Big
Four stock on a margin, but that she
refused, saying II she bought the stock
outright she could use It to reimburse
the campaign fund. The defense will
attempt to prove that this alleged con-
spiracy was conceived and worked out
for the sole purpose Of having q club
to WELD about the then congressman's
head, in the event Of his election and
if he showed signs of "bucking the
tiger"
Mrs. Sulzer was in a very serious
condition last night and today, but
tonight she is reported as very much
improved. Her one desire Is to have
her husband at her bedside. The fact
that it has been necessary that he be

day has troubled her greatly. But

nor remains at her bedside. BY order
of the doctor there is no discussion Of
the Impeachment proceedings. Occa-
sionally, when she tried to talk to him,
the governor gently treasured her and
told her that everything is sure to-

DR.. Robert Abraham, the Sulzer fam
lily physician, was forced to return to
New York today and she remained un-
der the care of local physician. 1t
was stated tonight that her condition,
while serious, was not dangerous. With
rest, quiet and complete care, 1t was
said she would probably recover, but
that progress, because of the nature of
the calamity, must of necessity be
slow.
It has been suggested that she be
taken to the mountains, but inasmuch
as that would mean separation from
her husband, she positively refused to
go. So she will be given the best OF
care at the executive mansion and
everyone interested was hoping to-
night that she would soon be recuper-
