Albany, Ni Y. The possibility
of an indefinitely.; long deltfy in
reaching a verdict as to the
uilt, or innocence of Gov. Wm.
3ulzer Tuesday up at his im
peachment trial here. This was
suggested when- counsel for the
impeachment managers masked
that the court . recommend . to
the assembly the bringing of a
new article of impeachment in
the event the testimony 6f Pun
can W. Peck, superintendent of
public worksK and Henry L. Mor

should not be found to be relev

the present articles.
In Executive Session.
Whether this .testimony was
relevant to articles 4 which
charges the governor witu sup
pression of evidence before the
Frawley investigating committee
today was the subject of debate
in executive KARStnn will hp n-n-
tinued tomorrow and on the re
sult pf the court '8 deliberations
will depend the, question as to
whether it will at once proceed
to vpjtj or await the actio n oT

Should ttie latter course bei

necessary two-thirds majority
could be obtaine dto vote the
new article.
