sULzER DOWN TO BUSINESS
peposed Governor Receives Tremen-
dous Ovation in Old District.


New York, October 22.-William
Sulzer, deposed governor OF the STATE
Of New York, today opened headquar-
ters at a Broadway hotel for his cam
paign to re-establish himself at the
state capital.
Informally he plunged into the fight
as soon as he stepped from late train
from. Albany last night, but from to-
day on until election on November 4.
he planned to conduct an organized
campaign with. his private secretary,
Chester c. Platt, acting as manager,
for election to the state assembly. His
friends in the Sixth assembly district
who succeeded in making him the
nominee on the Progressive party
ticket almost Immediately after he was
deposed as governor shared his conf
dence Of success.
The entry Of the deposed governor
into the local campaign which Is al
ready at a high pitch of excitement
over the mayoralty contest with
charges and recriminations flying ev-
erywhere promises to make the two
weeks at hand one Of the most stir
ring in a political way. .
The fusionists, seeking the election
Of John Pueroy Mitchell as mayor, are
guarded in expressing enthusiasm over
the entry of the deposed governor into
the campaign, but they make no Sc
cret Of their satisfaction over the fight
which Mr.. Sulzer has declared against
Tammany Hall, the defeat Of whose
power the fusionists profess to be their
main object.
By installments Mr.. Sulzer continues
to bring forth charges that Charles
Murphy, leader Of Tammany Hall,
made threats to him while he was
governor and that Edward e. Mccall,
the Tammany candidate for mayor,
had acted as emissary Of the Tamma-
ny leader. ,... .. -,...
Mr.. Mccall has denounced the
charges as falsehoods. while Mr.: Muir
ply has preserved his usual reticence,
declaring only that he will wait until
Mr.. Sulzer has finished all Of his ac-
cusations before replying.
John A. Hennessy, who acted as
personal investigator for Governor
Sulzer, has injected himself into the
city campaign as one OF the anti-Tam-
many orators. In a speech late last
night he charged that Mccall acted as
Murphy's mouthpiece. and once told
him ito carry to Sulzer the last word
for Murphy Of what would happen
if Sulzer did not withdraw from the
senate every nomination he had mnde v
This he said, was nearly two months
ago. ...-
It was not until an early hour this
morning that friends Of the deposed
governor allowed Mr.. Sulzer to go to
bed, so determined were they to &C
claim him a hero or martyr For
nearly three hours after his arrival in
the city a big crowd Of his admirers
cheered for him as they followed In a
triumphal night tour through the East
Side district where he reiterated in
individual short speechs that the
bosses" had removed him because ne
fought for the people instead of for
them, and pleaded for seat in the
assembly that he might renew his
fight.
The demonstration in his behalf
moved the former governor to tears
and he described his acclaim as the
greatest moment Of his life.
The route the automobiles took to
reach the East Side led past Tam
many Hall on 14th street. The chauf-
feur Of the Sulzer car brought the ma
chine to q stop. Other automobiles
gathered close around and traffic stood
still while a dramatic demonstration
ensued, one 80 noisy that policemen
for blocks around came running to the
scene.
Crowds gathered. Frantic men, Su!-
zer enthusiasts, leaped from their au-
tomobiles, ran to Tammany's doors and
shook their clenched fists at the fa-
nous political headquarters. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sulzer glanced once at the build
ing, then turned away until the dem
onstration ended and the procession
of cars moved on.
The former governors face was set
grimly as he listened to the cheers
given him during this time. Approach
ing Progressive headquarters. where
he was nominated, the procession
passed the old colonial mansion since
remodeled into an apartment house,
where the Suffers once lived at Sec
ond avenue and 10th street, Mr.. Sui
ger gazed at the third floor where he
lived so long. Mrs. SulZer reached
out and held his arm.
Through the East Side people
thronged fire escapes and roofs and
hung over window sills, shouting
greeting to their assembly nominee.
In front of Progressive headquarters,
when the demonstration reached its
height, Mr.. and Mrs. SulZer stood in
their car and tears rolled down their
cheeks as the people cheered inces-
sanity.
