 The upstate move was in Bing- hampton where the party leader, David r. Lee, was Roosevelt floor worker at the Chicago convention. Tammany inspired the filing of slate of delegates to the state con- vention opposed to the Leo slate.
 The Tammany plan, 1t was said. was to form an alliance in the con- vention with several upstate dis tricts in Albany. Rensselaer,, Oneida. Saratoga. St Lawrence, Og- wego. Jefferson and Onondaga counties.
 The combination would force the nomination of Walker as governor, thus supporting Walker and also punishing Roosevelt by weakening his state ticket, and endangering his chances of carrying the state in November. Roosevelt has urged the nomination of Lieut. Gov Her bert H. Lehman.
 Trial to Resume
 Albany. N. Y., Aug 24--(UP)-- Republican state leaders were scheduled to testify to-day at May or James J. Walkers custer hear ing with the defense seeking to show that the entire investigation was inspired to embarrass the democatic party in the November election.
 To-day's proceedings promised to be the longest yet with Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt prepared to begin the session at 1:30 p. m. and to continue 1t until II p. m. with perhaps a two-hour recess.

Sisto, the latter was charged by Samuel Seabury with being a promoter seeking to limit licensed taxicabs. It was from this Sisto pool in Cosden oil stock that Walker received $26,000 profits in bonds from Sisto.
