Sulzer at noon today ceased to be go\ -
MM <>f the State of New York, lb
was removed from otnee by the high
court of impeachment by a vote of
43 to 12. Two members did not vote,
k Martin II. Olynn. lieutenant gov
f ornor. was sworn in as his successor,
the first in the history of the State to
step into his high o Mice in this man?
ner.
The verdi't of the court was that
! Mr. Sulzer was guilty of falsiilcation.
perjury and an attempt to suppress
evidence against him. Of all etil >
ehargen he was acquitted, the .-on rt
toduy unanimously voting him not
guilty on the four remaining articles
of Impeachment.
I'.s a virtually unanimous vote the
Impeachment tribunal also decided
that Mr. Sulier should not be punish?
ed by disqualification to hold office of
honor and trust In this state in the
future. This would have been the ex?
treme penalty qnder the law.
The ousted executive was served
with a ftp) of the court's verdict at
the executive mansion?christened by
himself 'the people's house"?a few
minutes before 6 o'clock tonight.
? >od! I thank you," he said to
the Mergeunt-at-arms of the senate, I
who delivered the document.
Mr. Sulzer. private citizen will leav?
the capital probably on Sunday.
Where he will go he has not disclos?
ed.
The Incoming governor issued a
statement in which he said his en-?
deavor would be "to give the people
of the State an hortest, peaceful, pro?
gressive and wise conduct of public
affairs.''
The outgoing executive Issued u
statement in which he denounced the
tribunal which had removed him as
"Murphy's high court of infamy."
'Murphy controlled the assembly
and ordered the Impeachment," he
said. "He controlled most of the
members of the court and dictated
procedure and wrote the judgment.
He was the Judge and the jury, the
prosecutor ami the bailiff.'
Mr. Sul/.cr d? I lured his trial was a
"political lynching us far as the Tam
manyized part of the court was con?
cerned?the consummation of a deep
laid plot to oust me from office."
At today's eession of the court,
which lasted little more thai an h? ur,
most of the members recorded their
votes without explanation. Presiding
Judgo Fullen who voted "not guilty"
on e\ery urtlcle of impeachment,
stuck to his convictions to the last.
He asked to be excused from voting
on the remoNul of the ^overm.r and
following out his logic, made a sim?
ilar reuuest on the vote for disqualifi?
ed ion.
It fell to Judge Fullen to pronounce
the verdict of the court. His last
word was spoken almost on the hour
of noon and a minute later the court
dissolved.
The stenographer's record Mmwed
that more than 700,000 words of tes
timony and argument had been ut?
tered slm e the trial SOgSJI September
18.
Probably the most dr.miatie feature
of the day wus the serving Off the cop>

Albany. N. Y.. Oct. 18.?There was
red lire, ovatory and music by a brass

night when several hundred admirers
of William Sulzer tailed to present
him with a loving cup.
Rain fell while the marchers were
en route to the mansion. Mr. Sulzer
darted to shake hands with all his
??allers, bi t he never completed the
task. They crowded around him and
refused to move. Some one said a few
words of -onsolation to him only to
be interrupted by Mrs. Sulzer.
"The art ion of the court is the least
of our troubles," she said.
The crowd began to cheer. "We'll
have you hack here in \t year, Bill,"
one man yelled.
Another enthusiast cried, "Hurrah
for the next pre?ident of the United

cheering. Cheers for Mrs. Sulzer fol?

United States May Bo Asked to Rec?

Provisional President?Talk in
Washington of an Armed Protec?
tion Over Mexico?Proposition Not
Acceptable to Wilson Administra?
tion.
Washington, Oct. 17.?John Lind
President Wilson's personal repre?
sentative in Melxco, hai reported from
Vera Cruz Indications of Gen.
J Iluerta's intention to resign the pro?
visional presidency.
Mr. Lind has ad Vised the president
that if the information that has come
to him is reliable, the United States
: may be called upon indirectly to in?
dicate whether it will recognise or
open negotiations with iluerta's suc?
cessor. Apparently var.ous names are
(being suggested and acceptability to
I the American government, it is
thought, might Influence the Anal
' choice.
Mr. Lind's report, filed Wednesday,
received today, aroustd rumors of j
fresh negotiations with the Huerta
government, but at the White House
and state department :hese were de?
nied.
Speeches today in congress and
' other suggestions for an armed pro?
tectorate over Mexico in conjunction
with other nations were met by high,
j administration officials with the dec
l laratlon that suoh an tct would im?
pair the sovereignty ol Mexico. At
j tentlon was called to President Wil?
son's original Instruction! to Mr. Lind,
In which he said:
"It is our purpose ir. whatever we
do or propose in this perplexing and
distressing situation not only to pay
' the most scrupulous regard to the
sovereignty and independence of
Mexico?that we take as a matter of
course to which we are bound by
every obligation of right and honor?
but also to give every possible evi?
dence that we act in the interest of
Mexico alone, and not in the Interest
of any person or body Of persons
Who may have personal or property
claims in Mexico they may feel they
have the right to redress."
It was declared today by those who
know President Wilson's attitude on
t icse questions that no matter what
emergency may arise, even though
drastic measures event ualy are re?
quired to compose the situation in
Mexico, under no circumstances will
the present administration at Wash?
ington interfere in any way with
the sovereign or territorial rights of
Mexico.
London dispatches declaring Great
Britain looked with disfavor on the
suggestion of armed Intervention be?
cause it would not benefit British in?
terests while it might by annexation
of territory or idemnity recompense
the United States, brought from offi?
cials the comment that territorial
acquisition would never be considered
in connection with interference in
Mexico, any policy that may here?
after be adopted looking merely to
the restitution of constitutional order
and peace.
An unconfirmed report today reach?
ed Washington that in the conference
of diplomats called by the Spanish
minister at Mexico City Wednesday,
practically all those present, except
the British and American represen?
tatives, recommended armed interven?
tion, state department officials, how
SVer, said no such report had reached
them.
The situation tonight seemed un?
changed with respect to further dip?
lomatic parleys by the Washington
government, which is disposed to treat
no further with the Huerta regime,
though admittedly In a receptive
mood for suggestions or declarations
of purpose on the part of the consti?
tutionalist Chief. Constitutionalist

RUMORS FROM MEXICO.
MOST or THEM ARE POUND
UNTRUE.
0*Shaughncssy Emphatic in Denying
Reports of Movements of Provis?
ional President.
Washington, Oct. is.?Throughout
the day officials heard various reports'
and rumors that Provisional Presi?
dent Huerta <>f Mexico had resigned
or intended to do so, that he had se
cretely left the capital and that Gen.
Blanquet would Bticceed him. Tin
state department received so many In?
quiries that it called Charge
O'Shaughnessy for information.
The receipt this afternoon of the
positive statement from Mexico City
that Huerta did not intend to resign
somewhat clarified the situation,
though administration officials were
in hopes the elimination of Huerta
eventually might materialise. There
has been little disposition at any time,
however, to credit the report that
Huerta actually had submitted his
resignation to his cabinet and that It
was refused because no successor able
J to cope with the situation could be
found. ^
Officials here declared it inconceiv?
able that Huerta should submit his
resignation to a cabinet of his own
choosing with any sincere intention of
having it accepted. Among constitu?
tionalists here the report merely was
construed as meaning that Huerta
had taken occasion to point out that
he alone was able to deal wdth the of?
ficial state of affairs. They believe he
j may use that argument as a basis for
next week becoming a candidate in
the election set for October 26,
Dispatches from Charge O'Shaugh?
nessy today w ere on routine subjects. '
Statt? department advices from else?
where reported that the governor of
tho state of Colima had rsigned and
that the state congress had designated
in his place a military governor, Gen.
Juan A. Hernandez.
Comparatively few* Americans are
left in Torreon, Asarco and Velardena,
according to information received
from Monterey and the difficulty of
getting foreigners out of danger in
places where they were completely
cut off from communication appears
to have passed. It probably will be
several days before the rail and tele?
graph connection between Monterey
and Laredo is resumed.
"11 has been said that all Ameri?
cans have been ordered to leave the
capital," the interviewer suggested.
In response Gen. Huerta made a
gesture of disgust. "What non?
sense," he replied. "As I repeatedly
have said, since I came to the presi?
dency, foreigners, from Hottentots to
the most enlightened, have received
and will continue to receive every
! guarantee. Mexicans likew ise who
obey the law have nothing to fear
from me. Trangressors must watch
out. They shall be punished through
every means the law affords."
The rumors of President Huerta's
resignation and Right caused a sensa?
tion In the capital. Many believed
them, finding circumstances to bolster
up t ie story, such as the departure of
Col. Vidaurrazaga for Vera Cruz and
difficulty in finding any cabinet min?
ister. Pew remembered having seen
Gen. Huerta for a day or two.
