GOVERNORS WIFE DECLARES SHE USED CAMPAIGN MONEY
 IN WALL STREET.
HOT FIGHT NOW PROMISED
Believed Executive Will Continue to Occupy Office, Despite Constitu- tional Provison-Is Secretly
 Visited by FrawIey.

Albany. N. Y., Aug. 1.-The con- mittee appointed by the assembly to prepare the articles of impeachment against Gov. William Sulzer appeared at the capitol, bringing with it the formal charge against the governor, set forth in more than 5000 words, which the were prepared to give to the senate as soon as possible after the upper house convened. The charges against Gov. Sulzer fol- low closely the report of the Frawley committee and wholly ignore the re- ported confession of Mrs. Suzer, the governors wife, by accusing Sulzer of the stock market transactions for which Mrs. Sulzer said she was re- sponsible.
 It is certain there will be a bitter contest for the office of governor when the impeachment proceedings reach the senate.
 When he was told the impeachment resolution had passed after an all night vigil with Mrs. Sulzer at "the peoples house." Gov Sulzer declared he would fight the impeachment by applying to the supreme court for an order restraining the further proceed fngs. He said he would carry the case to the United States court of ap- peals. ..
 That Gov. Sulzer will decline to step out is regarded as certain, and it Is equally certain that the Tammany majority will declare Glynn acting governor immediately.
 It Is believed that Sulzer will de- cline to surrender the executive office and the seal, and some of the more radical of the Sulzer partisans de- clared the governor would call out the militia to aid him.
 Articles Follow Frawley Report.
 The impeachment articles contain nothing that was not brought out in the Frawley committees report, and set forth, first that Gov. SulZer filed a false statement of the contributions to his campaign fund, ito the great scan- dal and reproach of the state"
 They assert that Sulzer did not emu merate all of the contributions he re- ceived and was guilty of a misde- meanor thereby.
 They declare that Sulzer was guilty of a felony in inducing Louis A. Sar- ecky, Frederick l.. Colwell and Mel vile B. Fuller not to testify before the Frawley committee.
 The governor is further charged with converting campaign funds to his own use before he was elected gov ernor and speculating with these in the stock market. Also he used threats and promises to obtain votes, it is charged.
 Further, the governor is charged with using his office to affect prices in the stock market
 The impeachment resolution was passed by vote of 79 to 45.
 Various attempts were made by Tammany men to explain the secret visit to Gov Sulzers office of Senator James J. Frawley, chairman of the in- vestigating committee. Frawley, look ing over his shoulder to see that he was not shadowed, called at the gov ernor's office and was inside for 10 minutes John A. Hennessey, chair man of Gov. -Sulzer's Investigating committee, is considering legal steps to enable him to examine Frawley as to his political and business past, and Tammany Is said to be apprehensive.
 It was after Aaron J. Levy and oth- CT Tammany men had talked for hours, ostensibly defending the reso- lution. but in reality filibustering to await the arrival of absentees, that Minority Leader Harold J. Hinman sprung the real sensation of Gov. Sul- zers defense. He told the assembly that Mrs. Sulzer had assumed the re- sponsibility of the financial transac- tons and stock market speculation charged against Sulzer in the Fraw- ley committees report, and was at that moment preparing formal state ment for submission to the legisla- ture.
 Hinman said he was not certain just what Mrs. Sulzer's statement would .-'.
