The testimony was given after the

brought during an extraordinary session
of the legislature.
Doors Opened by Story.
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

"Nbthing further." said the witness.
Ryan was not cross-examined.

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.

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. Elevated trains, the trolleya
