Sulzer slips into town in mystery as impeachment probe peaks
Governor William Sulzer arrived in New York from Albany under secrecy and left by late afternoon train as impeachment managers pressed a stock dealings inquiry.

Sulzer’s movements and motives remained unclear amid hopes to raise funds for his road-graft defense, which sources say was unsuccessful.
