NUMBER 94 SACRIFICE OF WIFE NO AVAIL Governor Sulzer of New York Im- peached—Sensation Near End VOTE TAKEN AT FIVE-SIXTEEN Statement Is Made That Mrs Sulzer Assumed All Responsibility For Stock Deals Albany, N. Y., Aug. 14.—With three votes more than the required ma- Jority Governor Willlam Sulzer was impeached by the assembly for al- leged “high crimes and misdemean- ors” in connection with the cam- paign fund. After an all night sesion, spent by the majority in filibustering until Tammany absentees could arrive, the vote was taken at 5:16 a. m., result- ing in 79 for impeachment to 45 agalnst. The first Impeachment of a gov- ernor of New York state came close on the lheels of the most sensational featvre in’ the &y r-Murphy — war When M.

It was 2:30 a. m., after Aaron J. Levy -and other Tammany men had talked for hours, ostensibly defending the resolution, but in reality filibus- tering to await the arrival of ab- sentees, that Minority Leader Hinman sprang the real sensation. He told the assembly that Mrs. Sul- zer had assumed the responsibility of the financial transactions and stock market speculations charged against Sulzer in the Frawley committee’s re- port and was at that moment prepar- ing a formal statemert for submission to the legislature. Hinman sald he was not certain just what Mrs. Sulzer's statement would be, explaining he had the facts second hand from Senator A. J. Pal- mer of Kingston to whom “the gov- ernor’s lady” made her alleged con- fessicn. Hinman’s announcement threw the assembly intoan uproar. Instantly a dozen men were on their feet. The sleepy ones woke up and those who had gone to corridors and committee rooms, hurried in, thinking that the crucial vote had been precipitated pre- maturely. Palmer Confirms Story. Meantime Senator Palmer corrobor- ated Hinman's story and several other senators admitted they had heard such a report. In the midst of the excitement Hinman moved that the assembly adjourn until it could hear the statement of Mrs. Sulzer. “The motion was voted down, 73 to 49, but the vote was a close call for ‘Tammany, showing that the organiza- tion still lacked three votes of the number necessary to impeach. After Hinman's motion for an ad- journment was voted down Tevy spoke for three solid hours, killing time until an absentee could arrive from Brooklyn. When finally the man appeared there was a hasty arousing of sleepers and counting of noses and when the Tammany leaders were sat. isfled that they had the required ma- jority on hand there was a rush to take the vote. Over the feeble protests of the minority the roll call began at 5:06 a. m. At 5:16 it was complete and Willilam Sulzer stod impeached.
