Albany Aug 13 facts hulked as the case of Samuel Seabury against Mayor James J Walker New York trial before GOT Franklin D Roosevelt paused for the week-end re- cess One fact was the expected interrogation of the Mayor by the Governor on Monday re- garding the de- posits of Russell T Sherwood missing former accountant of the Walker law firm The other fact was the tainty felt at the Capitol that the legal question of home rule on which a court order seeks to stay the Governor's action in case would be by swift action of the Court of Appeals in plenty time for a decision by Governor

on the manifold legal possibilities which lie as vague threats in the background The Home Rule plea as to which the Mayor's counsel John J tin has denied Interest or was originated by George Donnelly secretary of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce The claim Is that tho Home Rule amendment nullifies tlie city charter provision that the Mayor may be removed in the same manner as a sheriff who is removable by the Governor under the State Con- In case this view should be originally upheld the Court of Appeals doubtless would meet to clear up the point so there is no doubt it will be settled before the nation votes on Mr Roosevelt as the presidential nominee A more interesting possibility Is the implicit threat of appeal to the Federal courts on the ground the mayor has a vested interest in the job that It has a money value and that removal under the nor's would deprive him of property without due process of law Mr Walker's counsel has taken an exception on every denial of his
