GLYNN PLEADS IGNORANCE
Knows Nothing About Taking OF
Highway Records.
LBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Albany, Dec. 6.-"T know nothing about
the taking OF highway records by men
acting under James w. Osborne from Bar
rett Benson's place, on State street
didn't know II was going to happen, and
have no official knowledge now that 1t
did happen
Governor Glynn made this statement to-
night when told of the charge of John a.
Hennessy, that the taking of the records
from the Benson place was "burglarious
enterprise of Tammany Hail. and that
any real investigation by Mr.. Osborne.
the Glynn prober, is now at an end.
Friends of Mr. Osborne declare that Mr.
Hennessy had no right to take the rec
ords from the Highway Department, in
the first place. and that they are now in
their proper place. Hennessy made use
of these records while he was investigat-
ing the Highway Department for eX-Gov-
ernor Sulzer.
The Governor upheld Osborne's conten-
ton that he was appointed under the
Moreand act to conduct an investiga-
ton into state departments. and that
he did not have the right technically,
10 hear charges against an official. II is
not expected. however, that another COM
missioner will have TO be appointed TO
hear the Warner Quinlan Asphalt Com
pany's charges against John y. Carlisle.
They have been submitted TO Osborne
and the Governor can make decision
from his Investigators report.
When Informed that the Carlisle charges
were merely incidental Hennessy caused
a rumpus at the Osborne hearing yester-
day, and wrote letter to the Governor
declaring the investigation sham.
IL have not yet had time TO look over
Hennessy's letter" said the Governor.
but If he will possess his soul In pa
thence he will find that the investigation
is on the level and honest

brace his opportunity" instead. But an
interesting story of what Huerta said TO
Mr.. 'Shaughnessy on that occasion has
lust reached Washington.
General Huerta had invited the entire
diplomatic tody TO the reception. and
every one accepted, even Mr.. OShaugh-
l.. ssy. despite the fact that the United
States had not recognized Huerta. The
diplomats were shown into "A great recep-
ton room in the palace where they
waited for the arrival OF the chief OF the
nation. Mr.. O'Shaughnessy was con-
suicuous figure on account OF the deli
cate relations between the two countries.
Finally General Huerta's approach was
announced. and into the room he walked
accompanied by his military aids In fun
uniform and carrying swords. Huerta
was also in uniform. As he entered the
diplomats bowed and the general returned
their bow.
Then Huerta turned 10 his aids gave an
order in "A low tone and advanced straight
toward Mr. O'Shaughnessy with vigorous
step and followed by his aids. who shifted
their swords.
with stern face General Huerta strobe
up directly I'm front Of O'Shaughnessy and
exclaimed in a voice that all could hear:

FEDERALS STILL
HOLDING GUAYMAS
Reoccupy Suburb of Empalme,
and Movement Puzzles
the Insurgents.

HermosiIlo. Mexico, Dec 6.-The OK
pected evacuation Of Guaymas by the
Federals appeared to-day TO have failed
TO occur. II was reported that the Fed
erals had reoccuplcd Empalmc, suburb
OF the city. and the movement puzzled in
surgent commanders.
Insurgents are inclined 10 believe that
the evacuation OF the suburbs and APP
parent preparations FOR departure were a
ruse TO entice them into the town II Is
also thought possible the orders TO aban-
don Guaymas were withdrawn at the last
moment
There appears to be no disposition TO
renew the siege OF Guaymas, although It's
capture would greatly assist military
movements along the west coast and re-
new commercial activity in Sonora and
Sinaloa.
