at six o'clock, waited on the veranda
outside. Nolan passed out and the news
paper men were admitted into the red
room to the right Of the front entrance
to the mansion.

with all his visitors and the call was
at an end.
Suffers plans for the future were
partially outlined tonight by .Ches
ter G. Plat, who acted as his secre-
tary while he was governor. Accord
ing to Plat the impeached executive
will leave Albany either on Sunday o.
Monday.
Mr.. Sulzer gave up his New York
residence and his New York law office
when he became governor" sail Mr..
Plat, land probably will make his
home for time in hotel His plans
after his return to the city are indeh-
mite. However, it is certain that for
a time he will devote his energies to
delivering speeches about the state
wherever campaigns are being wased
for direct primaries and against poli:-
cal bosses. He has already received
many invitations to deliver such
speeches.
He also has received many requests
from lecture bureaus to tell his story
in various parts of the country"
