PROSECUTION SCORES AN IMPORTANT POINT Testimony Regarding Attempt to Obtain Barnes* Influence Admitted to Record. AT,BANT. N. Y.. October 7.?Gov. William Sulzer attempted to secure th? influence of Charles F. Murphy to stop the trial of his Impeachment and In return therefor said he "was willing to do whatever was right," according to the testimony of Allen /V Ryan at the trial today. The testimony was given after the court, by a secret vote of 41 to 14. decided to admit upon the record Ryan's testimony of yesterday. This was that Gov. Sulzer had asked him to see Senator Root and request him to induce State Chairman William Barnes to influence the republican votes of the members of the court to declare the impeachment pro??

The admission of this testimony yesterday, stricken from the record, opened the doors to Ryan's story of the governor's alleged attempt to make peace with Tammany Hall on the eve of his trial. Ryan said that Sulzer asked him to see Delancy Nicoll, his father's attorney, and to request him to see Murphy. '^He wanted me," said the witness, "to have Mr. Nicoll sway Mr. Murphy to endeavor to call off this inquiry by getting his following to vote that the assembly had no right to Impeach him. He said Mr. Nicoll could be the go-between, and that he (Sulzer) was ready to do whatever was right." "What did you do in regard to seeing Delancey Nicoll?" asked Attorney Stanchfield of counsel for the impeachment managers. Forgot the -Matter. "I told the governor," replied the witness, "that I would see what I could do, nd went out into the country and for rot it." Previous to this, Mr. Ryan said. In response to the governor's request that he ret Senator Root to see Barnes, he had , promised to sound the "republican sentiment" in the court of impeachment himself, and with that purpose In view be saw a "friend" - whose name he did not disclose. This friend, according to Ryan, dictated a statement to him on the situation, which, he said, he showed to Gov. Sulzer. The statement placed In evidence said In part: "The republican organization, as such, Mil do nothing; It will give no advice, po order, and will leave every republican tenator to do as he sees tit. The chairman says distinctly ho will not permit any one, high or low, to speak to him on the subject." The executive session today was ordered at the request of Republican Leader Brown of the senate after Attorney John B. Stanchfleld for the assembly managers had asked permission to recall Ryan to the witness stand. Stanchfleld said he had been requested hv the governor's attorneys to recall Ryan. Byan Quizzed Further. The court spent an hour in executive session before voting to retain In the record the testimony of Ryan. Mr. Ryan, when recalled to the stand, was asked what further conversation he had with the governor on the occasion of the latter'*, request that he see Senator Root. "I suggested to Mr. Sulzer that now that certain charges had been made against him I did not see that he could afford to put himself in a position In which he could not answer the charges. He said that the reason was that he did not want to drag his wife Into the situation and nnt h??r nn th? stand "I told him I would not go to Washington. but I would try to ascertain the republican sentiment on that question?whether the court had a right to Impeach hiin." j Promised a Statement. "Ii that all of the conversation?" asked Attorney Stanchfleld. "So, sir; he said if they voted that the trial was not legal he could make a public statement and explain the situation satisfactorily. "There was nothing more said, except that I said I would try to ascertain the sentiment of the republican members of the court." "Did you make an effort in conformity with that promise to ascertain the republican sentiment?" asked Stanchfleld. "I did." He was not questioned as to the details of his efforts. Ryan then said he saw the governor the same afternoon and told him what he had done. He said he had brought memoranda with him on the subject and that he read it to Gov. Sulzer, who "took It with him." Produces Memoranda. Bryan produced a copy of the memoranda at the request of Mr. Stanchfleld. The document was shown to counsel for the defense, who said they lad no objection to having It admitted n evidence. At tne time you handed this paper to the governor was there any conversation as to the source from which this oaper came?" asked Mr. Stanchfleld. "Yes." "What was said on that subject as to who prepared the note or was responsible for the contents of this paper?" "I didn't tell him who prepared it." "Had there been any talk as to who you were to get in touch with?" . "I called up a friend of mine in his presence and asked the friend to meet trie in my office. I do not think the govirnor knew whom I called up. The friend tme to ray office. I asked him to dictate hat he had to report to me. and my friend dictated in my presence." *'Dld you tell Mr. 8ulzer where you got Is Information?' "Nbthing further." said the witness.

SEEKS TO MAKE SHOWING FOR OCTOBER ELECTION Efforts of Government Have Been Bent on Subduing the Border States. ???? Renewed outbreak:! of fighting in the central and southern parts of Mexico were reported here today in messages received by the constitutionalist representatives. There were no definite indications to show whether tho federals or constitutionalists are victorious. The reports showed that the fighting Is not confined to the border states, as has been indicated in recent dispatches from Mexico City. That Gen. Huerta is putting .forth strong etTorts to bring Mexico to such a state before the elections called for the 26th of this month as will give the elections a show of legality was indicated In the reports of the movements of his troops. Apparently he is concentrating his greatest strength in putting down revolts in the border states, since reports of fighting in cen ro 1 n n<4 aoilihorn \f O YlPrt NPlH flTTl rPUPH Washing-ton. It became known here today that Dr. Vasquez Gomez, provisional vice president under the late President Madero, has received many urgent messages from Mexico City recently to return and become a candidate in the coming elections for the presidency. Dr. Gomez has replied in every instance that he was ready to run at a fair election, but that he did not consider it possible to hold a fair election at the present time. The latest shake-up in the Mexican cabinet the third in a few months, is interpreted by officials here as a move by Huerta to put his official household in order for the coming presidential elections. The rearrangement is understood to have been made with a view to placing each of the cabinet officers in position where his peculiar talents might be of the greatest service from a party point of view. Rebels Evacuate Torreon. Torreon, reported captured five days ago by insurrectionary forces, has been evacuated already by the insurrectionary garrison, which has withdrawn from the vicinity, according to advices received at the State Department. A federal relief column is marching to thq aid of Torreon from Saltillp is the information contained in dispatches received to*Santa Rosalia, state of Chihuahua, the scene of the recent battle In which the rebels under Gen. Villa were put to rout, has "been occupied by the victorious federal army. Direct communication has been restored between Saltillo and San Luis Potosi. James Bennett and his son, accused of political activities against the rebellious state government of Sonora, have been released, according to titate Department advices. Consul Simplch, at Ensenada, Lower California, was instrumental In obtaining their release. MEXICO CITY AFFAIRS REPORTED TO LIND VERA CRUZ, October 7.?A report on affairs at the capital brought by Nelson O'Shaughneesy, charge d'affaires at the American embassy in Mexico City, was [aid before John Lind, the personal representative of President Wilson. In an overnight conference. It was said that he brought no roseate picture of conditions at the capital, but reported assurances from the national palace that fair elections would be held and early pacification of the country accomplished. Mr. rv>ai..,..hnauV KfnrnAd dirftctlv to the 1/ OUOUgUilVDD/ , capital, accompanied by his wife, who had just returned from Europe. Mr. Lind will remain In Vera Cruz. Unless Invited by the Mexican government or instructed by President Wilson, he will have no direct communication with the Mexican administration. If he has any representstlone to make he will probably communicate them to the embassy. Indications are, however, that there will be no further communications slther direct or Indirect. Mr. Linn will continue in the role of an Jbserver until the results of the elections ire known and possibly until the effect j s realized. Recent information brought to him had J lot apparently convinced him that the military situation Is greatly improved, but this phase of the situation has been left largely to Captain Burnslde, the military attache of the embassy, to re>ort directly to the War Department, and Mr. Lind is more deeply Interested In the political phases.

HEAVY BATTING IS PRESAGED Chief Bender, First to Appear on Field, Draws Bounds of Applause. Brilliant Fielding Practice Is Loudly Cheered. > 4 POIjO GROUNDS, NFJW YORK, October 7.?Some 40,000 persona filled the broad reacnes or the big Brush stadium this afternoon to witness the New York Giants, pennant winners of the National League, do battle with the Philadelphia Athletics, leaders of the American League, in the first game of the world's base ball series. A record-breaking attendance was Indicated, for the turnstiles were still merrily clicking at noon, and elevated trains, traction cars, automobiles and all manner of conveyances were bringing their hundreds to the playing field. Over back of the Athletics' dugout were several hundred Philadelphia enthusiasts. Murky clouds, from which there came an occasional drizzle, scree#ed the sun. and there was a constant threat of heavy weather. Bender Loudly Cheered. The Giants and Athletics came early to the clubhouse, which lies in the backfleld bleachers. 'Chief" Bender was first In uniform. The Indian's delight Is a big crowd. There was a rousing cheer as the Athletics' pitching star popped his head out of the little doorway under the center field stand. Bender grinned at the crowd, then disappeared. Shortly after the contending clubs trotted on the field and then came the batting practice. There was a shout after long hits were driven out by the Giant batters to the far corners of the field. Of course, the hits were made off straight-ball pitching, but it seemed to presage heavy hitting by the home club and the crowd was happy. Fielding practice was brisk and brilliant by the home folks and the visitors, and the plays were loudly cheered. Commission's Offices Crowded. Crowds thronged the headquarters of the national base ball commission prior to the game. The commission had a big allotment of tickets to be distributed, and the favored followers of the game poured In and out of the rooms all forenoon. Among them was Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania. himself a former ball player. Mrs. Tener accompanied him. They have a box for the game. The commission has done nothing as yet about ticket speculators. Reports of scalpers getting tickets have been received but no evidence concrete enough to warrant an official investigation has come to hand. Bleacher Seats Filled. Scarcely a seat in the bleachers was unfilled at 12:45 and the crowd was still coming. The upper and reserved stand was the last to fill and there was only a sprinkling of spectators among the 8,000 seats when the playere came on the field. The 200 or more newspaper men from all over the country, turned out reams of copy in the press cage behind the catcher, while sixty operators were required to telegraph the accounts of the game. The Giants were In their uniforms of white with white and purple stocklnga The Athletics were garbed in their re#u'ar traveling uniforms of gray wltli white stockings with black band. Have Met Twice Before. I Twice before in their history these teams have met, each the champion in its league, to battle for premier honors. Once, in 1005, the National League triumphed. Once, two years ago, the American League pennant winners were crowned with the laurels. Today the "rubber" was to be played, or its play begun, and each team took the field determined to win the odd and capture the double honor of a world's championship and two series In three from its old-time rival. rossiDiy never berore in a world s aeries have two competitors been apparently so evenly matched and the outcome so uncertain as In this contest between the men of Connie Mack and John McGraw. The uncertainty was reflected in the practically even betting that ruled as the crowds assembled for the beginning of play. And the keen interest aroused bV this very uncertainty was testified to by the early signs that the opening day throng, given even reasonably fair treatment by the weather man, would be one of the largest, if not the largest, in the game's history. X/ine Forms Before Midnight. Before midnight the crowd began to gather at the Polo Grounds. Even though 90,000 seats were ready for all comers at the opening of the gates, more than 1,000 Indefatigable "fans" had poeted themselves at the entrances before 1 o'clock this morning, with the line swelling fast as the night grew old and dawn approacched. By 8 o'clock this morning, the hour for the releasing of the barriers which kept the crowd from the stands, fandom was on its way to the field by thousands.
