Hart of the West Sixty-eighth street station, had made their fourth descent on that place to enforce Mayor Oaynor's cafe curfew order. The police apparently had no intention of throwing Mr.

Whitman out as ha had come as an official. Inspector Dwyer afterward begged his pardon. The Incident was tplcnl of the rush which the made upon the diners. There was In many Instances rougher handling of men than yesterday morning when the police made their third descent. The raid this morning was the fourth within Ave days since the Justices of Special Sessions held that Mr.

Healy was within his rights as a hotel keeper In serving food without liquor after 1 A. M. Whitman Crntral Kla-nre. The crowd was larger, the excitement rre.vter. the confusion more tumultuous than yesterday morning.

While there were many Instances of hard scuffling between the police and diners, overturning tmashtng of furniture and dishes. District Attorney Whitman was really the centre of the raid this morning. He had gone there at the Invitation of Mr. Healy and after he had consulted with Magistral Deuel, who yesterday sfternoon announced In the West Side Court he would Issue warrant for the srrest of policemen who roughly handled diners at Heaty's and would charge them with oppression and with assault and battery. Mr.

Whitman was plainly shocked by the scene in the restaurant. In answer to appeals that were made to him by men who were being carried or dragged from the restaurant he announced that they could have warrants for the police to day. While Mr. Whitman himself would make no criticism of what he saw his Impressions were plainly discernible by the expression of his face Thomas Healy, proprietor of the restaurant, I the authority for the statement that Mr Whitman would be In court to-day to help in the prosecution of the police for their treatment of guests at the restaurant and for their raid on the place. The District Attorney "arrived at the retaurant shortly before 1 o'clock, ac romp.inled by Richard Harding Davis.

He ivn In time to hear a policeman an- r.uunce that all diners must be out by o'clock is the doors would be closed at ut hour. He was greeted with loud cheering, as he posed for various in the dining room. He saw outride Inspector Dwyer and his twenty-five policemen ready to carry out Mayor Cavnor's 1 o'clock closing order. At by the District Attorney' ewn watch, Dwyer and his men started Into the testaurant and, spreading out finllke, begun to rush men and women from the hostelry. At first Mr.

Whit man was not disturbed but he was Jos tled from side to side a policemen In groups of two, three and even four hustled men from the place. Promise Warraat. As a strapping man hustled by three rips wan going past the District At torney, the man shouted to Mr. Whitman: "How about this, Mr. District Attorney? tan we get a warrant now?" "Vou'il get your warrants all right," the District Attorney replied, but the man heard him, for by that time he as on the sidewalk.

Then Mr. Healy, excited, rushed to th' District Attorney and asked: "Do you see this outrageous treatment? Come closer to the door and see how my rulrons are being handled." Mr. Whitman moved toward the door cops everywhere were buy roughly handling the diner and he ald to Mr. Healy; "Are you getting the number of the omrers? "We arc," replied Mr. In the next Instant there was a crash Of a tahlo an ninrU.

MANY LEAGUES FOR HIM Friends Think 15,000 Names to Petition Will Make Mayor Accept. Mayor Oaynor I expected to stand up on Monday and ay thnt he will take an Independent nomination for Mayor. Men from the various Claynor leagues havo planned to call upon him, put tho question to him frankly and go away with their answer. They had no doubt yesterday but thnt he will say yes. Thus far, the Mayor lias made no pub-11c avowal of candidacy.

In a long statement made six weeks ago ho said he didn't expect a nomination from any political party and that his fortunes seemed to rest with the Independent voter. Soon after the statement appeared R. Rosa Appleton, president of the Four teenth Street Bank, started the Gaynor Fusion and Nominating League, which later camo out with a large membership nnd with Influential backing. The Mayor hud nothing to say about the operations of league, but Mr. Appleton and his associate went to work and havo many thousand signatures to an Independent nomination petition.

Tho Mayor's candidacy showed great strength from the beginning, but thu of-fleers of the league felt that they were handicapped by the Mayor's non-committal attitude. One of the earlier plans was to have the format announcement como to-day. Hut they decided that It was better to wait until they had 16.000 signatures. That number would serve as a convincing proof to Mr. Oaynor that there was a strong public demand for his candidacy.

John D. Crlmmtns called on the Mayor yesterday. When he left the City Hall he had no comments to make on the programme for next Monday. Neither did Mr. Oaynor Bay anything about the plans of his friends.

Indorsed by Brooklyn I.rasar. Mr. Oaynor wa visited yesterdny by representative of the Cltlxens League of Brooklyn, which passed a resolution In- oorsing nt candidacy at a meeting on Tuesday night In Williamsburg. His vialtor Included Henry Wetomann. president of the league Nathaniel Levi.

John F. Becker, William J. Haviland, Otto Winner, Frank Obernler, Edward Domschke, William H. Allen. William Llbermann, Joseph llarondess, Fred H.

Itritmann and Harry Fisher, Mr. Welsmann told the Mayor that he had been nominated at the meeting In Arlon Hall, Williamsburg, nnd that the people needed him for four years more in the Mayor's office. "No Mayor before you lias understood so fully the feeling, the spirit, and the wants of the vast multitude of your fellow townsmen, and none has ever been willing und brave enough In both word und deed to aid those to whom hut one day In the week Is given for recreation," said Mr. Welsmann. The Mayor thanked the visitor, but made no promise.

Hy next Monday, however, the leagues will be able to show him convincingly that his Independent nomination can be achieved. Foreigners Favor Oaynor. The Oaynor league of Foreign Horn Citizens, one of the East Hide organisations that have come out for his tenoml-nation, held a mass meeting lust night In National Hull, Chrystle and East Houston streets, and put up the first Oaynor banner In town. The leaxue already has 2.100 members. They packed the hail and listened to Oaynor speeches with great enthusiasm.

The speakers Included Joseph U.iron- dess, chairman of the league and mem ber of the Board of Education; Isldor Mlegeltuch. Rudolph Buskin, Ellas itosenthal. Joseph Edelstelu, Dr. Mux Oirsdansky, Socialist, and Louis Miller, editor of an East Side paper. They said that the Mayor's work had been felt especially on the East Side.

They commended him for the relief he hud given them from police tyranny. The session on Monday will take place nv days before the Tammany city com mlttee meets to designate rnnritilnte for Mayor. Mr. Oaynor's backers hope that the showing that they will be able to make on that day will be convincing to the Tammany date makers. Yet the assurance came again from Tammany Hall yesterday that Chaoses F.

Murphy and his advisers have no expectation that the Mayor will be the choice of Tammany. NEW USE OF X-RAY IN CANCER. ilobart, Tasmania. arron Says Treatment Ha Been Sarcrasfal. Hobart, Tasmania, Aug.

These Senators do not believe thnt the caucus wilt be in favor of a recess. 1 Secretary Tumulty was at the Capitol this afternoon.

He called on a number of Senators, but It was said that he exerted no Influence In the matter of the suggested recess. P. C. KNOX HEADS LIST OF SULZER'S LAWYERS James Gay Gordon of Philadel phia Among Counsel for Jin penciled Governor. A mi ant, Aug.

Sulser at Albany, Is his counsel In the Philadelphia suit brought against him by Miss Hopkins. He Is one of tho greatest lawyers of this city and Btate. From the day when he first appeared In court he was stamped as one of the bitterest antagonist a rival, might contend with, and his satire, sarcasm. Irony and wit made him a forceful, telling speaker. Then he decided upon a political career.

Almost his first achievement was an alignment with the forces that were opposed to Matthew Stanley Quay, and from the time he began to take part In Democratic politics he wus thorn In the side of the I'ennsylvunln leader. No mun ever fought Qusy more bitterly or more fiercely than Oordon did. and when he espoused the cause of Robert K. Putttson for Governor a Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania was elected. In 1830 Oordon was elected a State Sen ator and In 1880 was appointed a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas to fill an unexpired teim.

Glynn to send the nomination to the Senate on Tuesday and have It confirmed Immediately, The nomination will be regarded as the first test of his powers us acting Ooverior and also as filling a place In the State service where a vacuncy caused much embarrassment to Oov. Sulser. Mr. Sulier first nominated John Mitchell for State Labor Commissioner and then M. Lynch.

The Senate turned them both down as part of Tammany' fight to bring the Governor to terms. Mr. Elku was counsel for th State Factory Investigating Commission. It 1 said that the Democratic organisation had him picked for Commissioner of Labor six months ago, but that Mr. Sulser didn't want him.

Sulier havo no deslro to bo interviewed or to try the merit of his case in the newspapers, and have no desire to make any statement in his behalf, and havo advised tho Govornor to refrain from making any statement at the present time, likowise his wife. We havo engaged in his defence- not for William Sulser, but as a professional and publio duty for tho Governor of tho State, and to preserve, so far as It can now be preserved, tho good name and fame of the State. After an examination of Mr. Sulzer in relation to the transactions disclosed by the Frawloy committee we are satisfied that there has been only a partial revelation of the facta so far, and we are satisfied that he has been guilty of no wilful wrongdoing, and wo will ask of the publio in kis behalf a suspension of judgment until all the facts can be disclosed before the proper tribunal and in an orderly way. The statements in the papers that the Governor will if necessary resort to force to maintain his position aro tho merest rot.

He will meet the charges made against him in an orderly and dignified way and will do nothing unbecoming the dignity of tho State and will engage in no physical scramble to assert his rights to discharge the functions pertaining to the office of Governor. ARMED GUARDS HOLD EXECUTIVE CHAMBER Sulzer Is Determined to Continue Exercising Functions as Governor. P. C. KNOX TO DEFEND HIM Glynn May Act as Governor in His Own Office in Capitol.

ALBANY, Aug. II. William Puller. Impeached by the Assembly at o'clock this morning, when the windows of the Capitol were reflecting the sun. of a new day, theoretically ceased to be Oovernor at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon when the articles that constitute his Indictment were accepted by tbe Senate and his trial wa set for September II.

Actually the Governor's dispossession will not take place until to-morrow morn ing. Deferring to the opinion of some of their advisers that the act of Impeachment Is not complete until the summons and complaint are served on the accused the manager of this unprecedented under taking are allowing Mr. Sulser to continue as Oovernor until Patrick K. Mc- Cabr. clerk of the Senate, tries to hand him the paper at 11 o'clock In the morning.

From that moment the acting Governor of New York will be Martin II. Glynn. The phase "tries to hand him the paperx" Is used because Sir. Sulror may refune to accept them or even to see Mr. McCabe.

For the Impeached Governor Intends to fight not only for the establishment of his Innocence but to press hy every, means he and his lawyers can think of his contention that his impeachment unconstitutional and that therefore he cannot be repluced by Mr. Glynn. Kaiser With Ills Lawyers. The lawyer who talked with Mr. Suiter In his private office in the People' House to-night were Louis Marshall, Irving G.

Vann nf Syracuse. ex-Judge of the Court of Appeals; D-Cady Herrlck nnd ex-Senator Harvey D. Hintnaii of Blnghamton. It is expected that Judge Vann will be chief counsel for Mr. Sulzer nt the trial.

Mr. Sutter reviewed the whole situation with these advisers and told them that he was Innocent of the rharges upon which he was Impeached. He said he hail no knowledge of the stock transactions and that his denial of laxt Sunday w.is the truth. He Insisted that he never heard of the financial operations to which his wife has confessed until testimony sbqiit them was hesrd by the Frawloy committer. The Oovernor also told the lawyers with great emphasis that Mrs.

Sulzer must not he allowed to go on 'the stand at the trial or In any other way figure further In the case. He Insisted that the fight be nude on legal and constltiition.il grounds alone. It was made clear from reports of tonight's conference that, th Governor's Inclination to begin his contest by refusing to accept service of the articles of Impeachment was not as strong as It had been. Ills friends said at midnight that Patrick K. McCube would be cordially greeted when he called, with the papers at II o'clock to-morrow morning.

Apparently Mr. Sulzer's advisers have convinced him that he should rely on setting aside his impeachment In the courts or proving his Innocence If the case comes to trial. But he will still Insist that Im Is Oovernor and that Olynn has no right to the seat. P. C.

Knox Retained. Oov. Suiter baa formally retained former Secretary of State Philander C. Knox, ex-State Senator Harvey W. Ultima of Blnghamton.

former Judge Irving Vann of the Court of Appeals and James Oay Gordon of Philadelphia to defend him at the Impeachment trial. This array of counsel wa secured for the Oovernor oy Herrlck of Albany, who Is chief counsel. The conference at the People's House waa still going on at midnight. It promised to last for two hour more. Each participant wa pledged to secrecy.

The Oovernor himself haa been muffled by hi adviser, and to-day titer was absolutely no hint from him a to what his course would be. The nearest approach to thl wa a Continued on Xhiri MRS. SULZER GRAVELY ILL. (lorrrnor's Wife Ha Nrrroaa Brrakdown. At.BANr, Aug.

13. Mrs. Suiter, wife of the Oovernor, Is suffering to-night from a nervous breakdown. Her condition Is extremely serious, and while not such a to raise any doubt as to her recovery. It ha given her husband grave fears.

Because of her condition the Oovernor telephoned to-day to New York to Dr. Itoberf Abrahams, a specialist, who know Mrs. Suiter and has treated her before. Her Is aggravated by her worry over her husband and her depression over her handling of his campaign funds. She Is almost Inconsolable at time and keeps repeating to her friends and nurses at the bedside that she has ruined her husband's career by her speculation In Wall Street.

She Insists that she did so absolutely without his knowledge. The Governor has told his advisers that he knew absolutely nothing about the Wall Street deals until his wife told him about them a few days ago. He Insists, however, that she will not be called at the trial In his defence. He will not permit her to go on the witness stand, even It her failure to appear meant hi removal from the Gov ernorshlp. Dr.

Abrahams left here for Albany on the train last night. OLD CHUMS EXTOL MRS. SULZER Her Classmate at School Hny That fine Wonld Sot Lie. Ciiicaoo, Aug. 13.

Classmates of Mr. William Suiter In Chicago rallied to-day to her support as the result of the state. ment of the New York Governor's wife that she was responsible for certain cam palgn fund transactions which led to his Impeachment. Mrs. Sulzer was gradu nted from the Illinois Training School for Nurses in the class of 1S93.

She was then MIsh Clara B. Podelhelm and her home was In Philadelphia, Sulzer was my closest friend In the Kchool," declared Mrs. Kmma Koch, ruiierliiteiideiit of the Chicago Lying-in Hospital to-day. "Slie was odh of tli-lliu-st women I have ever known. The moment tli.it 1 read of her confession I Knew wliut had happened.

She wus using that money to surprise her hus band. I bellevrt every word she has eulil. When she was a girl she hud such touchy conscience that every one noticed It. "if she says she took that money and used It that way she should be believed Implicitly. She Is greatly In love with her husband and she would do anything In tin? world to help a person In any sort of trouble, but die would not 'lie even to save him.

Other classmates of Mrs. Sulzer spoke in similar vein. NO LETTER FROM WILSON. White lloosr Denies That He A vised Hulsrr. YAfHiNOTo.v, Aug.

13. Authoritative denial was made to-night of a published report that President Wilson had wired to Oov. Suiter urging him not to make any technical defence but to present his best case nt a regulur trial. It was said at th White House that the President had not communicated with Gov. Sulzer on this subject.

Developments at Albany are being followed with Intense Interest by Democrats In the Senate. Oov. Sulzer's old friends In the House have been hoping, against the evidence, that he filially would be able to explain away the money transactions, but now tho sentiment seems In be one of Pity. Lawyers In the House to-day expressed the opinion that Gov. Sulzer cannot be Impeached for porsoual acts committed before he became Governor.

"Tho Governor's privileges are based on the Constitution," said Kepresentative Flood of Virginia. "The Legislature cannot add to or subtract uny qualifications upon which impeachment proceedings can be brought." Representative Francis Burton Harrison of New York also Is of the opinion that It Is doubtful that Impeachment can lie for nets committed before Suiter took the oath. Representative Montague, former Governor of Virginia, aald: "Ah a general proposition impeachment cannot lie upon acta which are committed prior to Induction Into office and which are personal and not relating to tbe office." representative Henry of Texas, chairman of the House Rules Committee, said that the jurisdiction of the Legislature to Impeach for acta Committed prior to the Oovernor' Inauguration wa In hi opinion very doubtful. SULZER; STATE NOW Senate Gets Articles and Trial Is Set i6 Begin September 18. SULZER IS NOT SERVED His Fight Will Bo Madeon Strictly Legal Grounds.

MORE CHECKS PROMISED Mrs. Sulzer Critically; III nd Hysteria Greatly Alarms tho Governor. Oov. Sulzer Was Impeached by the State Assembly by a voto of 79 to 4S at 5:16 o'clofck yesterday morning after it remained In continuous eecslon through tho night. The articles of Impeachment were drawn and presented to tho Senate In the afternoon.

An attempt will he made to serve Gov. Sulzer with copies to-day. The court of impeachment will begin its session on September 18. The taking: of evidence Is fixed for September 22. Gov.

Sulzer and his lawyers spent last night in conference at the Executive Mansion. Both Mr. Sulzer and Olynn expect to exercise the functions of Oovernor to-day. Oov. Sutter declined to make any statement, but it became known that he purposes to question the legality of the Impeachment proceedings nnd to retain office pending trial.

His fight, however, will be made on strictly legal grounds. He has retained ex-Secietary of State Philander C. Knox, James Ja Gordon of Philadelphia and several other prominent lawyers to defend him. The State Comptroller will to-morrow oak Attorney-General Thomas K. Car-mody for an opinion as to whether he shall honor tho approval of Mr.

Sulzer or of Mr. Glynn In the matter of tht! payroll of the Executive department. If the'opinlon Is adverse to Mr. Sulzer he Ir expected to institute mandamus proceedings for final determination. If the opinion favors Mr.

Sulzer Mr. Glynn will follow a similar course. Senator Elon R. Urown, Republican leader In the Senate, announced In that chutnber thut any attempt hy Mr. Sulzer to exercise the power of tho Governor's office should bu opposed by nummary action.

Members of tint Krawley committee declare thnt they liuve authentic Information showing that the Sulzer campaign fund received larger checks than those which Sulzer omitted from his Hworn stiitctiient. These additional checks, the committeemen say, do not appear In the swnrn statement. Mrs. Sulzer collapsed last night and wus in a most critical condition tit last reports.
