omission in the campaign contribu-
lions by certain brewers, Sarecby
read in a chronological order part of
the list of contributors contained in
the statement. With the exception of
several contributions made by brew
ers and persons identified with the
liquor interests, the list tailed exactly
with the deposit slips made out by
Sarecky and furnished the Assembly
managers by the Mutual Alliance
Trust Company.
How do you account for the fact
that this particular class of contribu-
tions is omitted?' questioned Mr..
Stanchfield.
Says Omission Was Accidental.
~ suppose their omission was ac-
cidental." Sarecky replied. When
made up that statement l thought
had all the memoranda of contribu-
lions before me, but probably several
sheets had been mislaid or lost"
And you still say you had no con-
ference with Governor Sulzer con-
corning the propriety of emitting GER
tain names?"
"I do"
Questioned about the omission of
Jacob H. Schiff's check for $500,
Sareclky said that he couldn't think
of a single reason why I omitted It,"
And this was by far the largest
contribution received?' queried
Stanchfield. And you knew that
Schiff would be elassed in political
circles as representing Wall Street
and the interests?"

Stanchfield wanted to know whether
he had not included the Schiff con-
tribution in the rough draft of the
Sulzer campaign statement from
which he made the final draft.
Il did not" said Sarecky emphat-
ically.
What did you do with this rough
draft"
II destroyed 1t when made the
final draft"
Wasn't there different total In
the final draft from that in the rough
one?"
81 don't think there was, because
/ copied the final one from the rough
one"
Didn't you talk with Matthew T.
Horgen about emitting the Schiff
contributions"
mo, L d1dn I, said Sarecky.
Attorney Stanchf1eld then had the
witness identify Governor Suffers
signature on various unreported cam
paign checks and letters acknowledge
ing contributions.
Threatens Prosecution for Forgery.
Counsel for the board of managers
ntimated this morning that they
night take some action against
Sarecky for his technical forgery of
The governors name to certain checks
and letters. But Sulzer never has
objected to Sarecky signing checks
on the account; and as he, If any
body, was the loser by Sarecky's
friends of the former
secretary made light of the yelled
threat of the counsel for the board.
They declared that any action against
would have to originate with
Sulzer.
1t was the plan of the attorneys for
he board to cross-question Sarecky
'urther in an effort to discredit his
testimony on other features of the
,ase.
Testifying yesterday, Sarecky said
lie was not a naturalized citizen. To-
lay, however, he stated that his
'ather had been naturalized several
years ago, and if this proves to be the
case, of course Sarecky is a citizen.
When Sarecky took the stand he was
first questioned by Attorney Stanch-
ield concerning the various places in
Sew York and Brooklyn where he has
ived since he became a voter.

1T am positive I do not remember
Iaving such a conversation with Mr.

Mr.. Stanchfield then took up the
WITNESSES promotion to the State Blu
eau of Deportation.
Have you ever. since July 26. re-
ported for duty at the offices of the
'ureau?"
No. l haven't"
