GOVERNOR SULZER
MUST STAND TRIAL
Motion of Counsel to Dismiss
Proceedings Overruled by
a Vote of 51 to 1.
Alhany, N. Y. Governor William
Bulier muat go to trial. This waa
decided by the high court of Impeach
ment when, by a vote of M to 1. Ita
members overruled the motion of the
governor's counsel to ilisnii the pro
ceedings on the ground that he waa
unconstitutionally Impeached by the
assembly because that body was In
extra session when the Impeachment
was brought.
The governor's defeat was the sec
ond that has marked the battle waged
by his attorneys to annihilate, as far
ns possible, the Impeachment proceed
ings. Last week the court thwarted
their attempt to prevent four senators
from sitting as members. Their re
maining ammunition consists of argu
ments to prove that certain of the of
fenses charged against the governor
lire not Impeachable.
The opinion In substance was that
the provision of the constitution which
limited the acta of the legislature In
extra session to such subjects as were
recommended to It by tho governor
should be given a reasonable construc
tion. MRS. WILSON CONTESTANT
