Q.  Then,  how  do  you  say  it  is  gx)ing  to  come  before  you?  A.
\\'eU,  I  can  get  it  before  that.
Q.  How?    A.  By  sending  for  them  when  I  want  it.
Q.  Why  don't  you  send  for  them  now?  A.  None  of  your  busi-
ness. You  happen  not  to  be  mayor  of  New  York.  I  will  not  tell
^^ou  what  efforts  I  make  in  regard  to  that.
Q.  Are  you  going  to  send  for  it?  A.  Well,  I  am  looking  at
that  as  I  am  looking  at  everything  else.  I  have  got  an  eye  on
that  and  pretty  much  everything  that  goes  on.
Q.  Well,  thus  far  you  have  done  nothing  to  stop  it,  have  you?
A.  No;  no  necessity.  The  court  stopped  it  by  temporary  injunc-
tion.
Q.  You  waited  for  the  court  to  stop  it?  A.  No;  I  knew  noth-
ing about  it  before  the  injunction.     I  was  on  my  vacation.
Q.  And  you  were  taking  the  chance  as  to  the  vacating  of  that
temporary  injunction?  A.  I  will  say  to  you  what  I  said  to
the  people.  I  will  do  my  duty  in  the  right  way.  Why,  your
threats  of  legislating  me  out  of  office  don't  amount  to  that  to
me.     You  start  in  and  trv  it.     You  go  and  talk  about  the  Gov-


<-rnor  removmg  me-


Q.  I  will  wait A.  A  piece  of  impertinence  like  that;  why

don't  you  go  before  him?

Q.  Are  you  ready?     A.  Certainly;  I  am  ready  always.
Q.  AH  right.  Now,  you  have  not  consulted  with  those  gentle-
men— your  own  creatures.  Have  you  talked  about  this  Ramapo
contract  with  any  other  citizens?  A.  Well,  I  have  got  a  list
here,  of  them,  and  should  show  what  I  did  see.
