WILLIAM SULzER
IS |MPEA('HED
Governor Of New York Accused
of Larceny and Perjury.
SUMMARY OF THE CHARGES
Diversion of Campaign Contributions
for Stock Speculation Is Alleged
Story of the Executives Fight
With Tsmmany.

Albany, N. Y.-William Sulzer, gov
ernor of New York, has been impeaeh-
ed by the lower house of the state leg
islature, and will be tried by the SEN
ate and the circuit court of appeals,
sitting together as court OF inn
parchment. The article of impeach-
ment, which were adopted by vote
of 70 to As, charge the governor with
perjury and larceny of campaign funds
and with other slightly less serious of
lenses
An important part of the charge is
that Mr.. SVlzer diverted campaign
contributions to his private use and
invested them in stocks. Just before
the impeachment Mrs. Sulzer made a
statement to the effect that she had
taken part of the campaign money and
bought stocks with it in Wall street
She will probably take the witness
stand at the trial TO tell this story.
Charges Against SuIzer
Stripped of their legal verbiage, the
articles of impeachment against Gov
ernor Sulzer are as follows:
THAT Governor Sulzer. in filing
his statement of campaign expenses
set forth that his entire receipts We're
$5,460 and his expenditures 1924
that this statement was false and

amount from 500 to 81 500
