Washington, Aug. 12.-Having sue

of getting Former Governor John

the Administration here is resting on
its oars, determined from now on not
to force things. Another crisis is noy

For that reason ii is believed that

Il is expected that the latter will
call on FREDERICK Gamboa the new
ministry of foreign affairs, very
shortly, and carefully explain that
Lind is in Mexico with no hostile en-
pressions from this government
When the time comes to present this

for As the result Of the first confer

friendly relations. 1t will open the
way for friendly negotiations later
And it may also make it possible for

Latest reports from the Canal Zone
announce that as the result of the
prospective substitution 4 Of: dredges

of the famous Culebra cut, the canal
may be ready for shipping by next
December. Even earlier than that
light draft vessels are likely to be

POSSIBILITY Of
TWO GOVERNORS
New York Legislature Ex-
periences an Unique Prob
lem Today.
ACTING EXECUTIVE4
Should Sulzer be Deposed Lieutenant
Governor Martin H. Glynn Will Fill
Out Term.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. II. = With
Governor Sulzer about to be impeach-
ed when the legislature reconvened
today, New York state faces the
possibility of having two rival COVER
nors.
By the State constitution, the lis1-
ant-governor, Martin H. Glynn, be-
comes acting governor automatically
when the resolution of impeachment
passes, and he remains acting COVER
nor until the end of the trial. Should
the governor be- vindicated he assumes
office. Should he be ousted, the lieu
tenant governor fills out the term.
Friends of Governor Sulzer say
that he refuses 20 recognize the au-
thority Of the extraordinary legisla-
ture to impeach him, and will ignore
it's action should Murphy be sue
cessful in today's test of strength,
sulzer might remain in the executive
office, issuing his orders regardless OF
the legislature, and Lieutenant Cover
nor Glynn would issue rival orders
from his own Office.
When the assembly met today the
Levy resolution, calling for the i'm
peachmsnt of Sulzer, was called up,
and one of the bitterest political and
legal fights in the history of New
York. was precipitated. Never before
aid the state Of New York try to inn
peach governor, and that it will be
q fight to finish is admitted on both
sides. /;
On the one side is Charles F. Muir
phy, boss of Tammany, fighting "like
tiger for his political life and for
the control of the Empire State De-
mocracv. Pitted against him is Sui
z:r, fighting for his reputation and his
seat in the peoples house." but
and this is of far more concern TO
Murphy and his cohorts-backed up
bv all of the enemies of Tammany
Hall. whether or not they especially
approve of the governor.
There was bare chance today
that the vote on the Levy resolution
might be deferred.
