to Turn Over Executive Offices
to Successor"
LEGISLATURE WILL
RECOGNIZE GLYNN TODAY
Lieutenant Governor To Make
Demand for Official Mail and
Warn Employees

ALBANY, n. Y. Aug. l9.-Definite
action which will end. at least until
after the high court OF impeachment
meets, the utter confusion and de-
moralization which now characterize
the business OF the state was hoped
for today. The Legislature was ex-
pected to take steps To recognize Lieu
tenantGovernor Glynn as acting gov
ernor. Similar action was looked for
by the canal board. State officials
handed down by Attorney-Generol
Carmody holding that Governor Sui.
zer's powers automatically were sus-
pende with the adoption Of the I'M
parchment resolution.
49, But with all this Governor Sulzer
insisted that he did not intend to sur
render the executive chamber 10
Glynn, and the latter was expected to
get together with the capitol trustees
and designate either his own privae
Office or the assembly parlor as the
executive chamber. II this is done
Glynn will Immediately serve notice
on tn epostal authorities that all mail
addressed either to the governor or
the executive chamber must be deliv-
cred to him. At the same time the
I, officials OF .-th executive Offices, who
have remained loyal TO Sulzer, will be
notified that they must report to Glynn
or lose their pay as their pay checks
Will not be Issued by the comptroller
unless approved by Glynn
Incidentally, It developed today that
Governor Sulzer. while insisting thar
he retains all Of his powers, has re-
Trained from acting on any big mat
ters OF public business since be was
formally notified of his Impeachment.
He is thus In the position where very
few Of his official acts are subject to
the scrutiny OF the courts. He re-
fused today TO indicate whether he
would pay any attention TO the opin-
ION OF the attorney-general recogniz-
ing Glynn. This opinion is important
because IL Is the fundamental law for
the guidance OF the state officials un-
til it is upset by the courts There
has been a persistent report ever
since the opinion was issued that Sui
zer's attorneys would test II, but Judge
Herrick and his associates refused 10
discuss the matter in any form to-
day.
Members of the legislature who ar
rived for the session were indignant
over the banded charges tha tmoney
vas used to buy the votes needed TO
put through the impeachment resolu-
tion. Floor Leader Levy. OF the as
sembly, declared the Sulzer men
would be summoned and placed under
oath and force dto prove or retract
their charges. In addition, he said
that Louis A. Sarecky, the youthful
former confidential secretary to the
governor, would be recalled by the
Frawley committee, and either be
forced to testify or jailed for con-
tempt. Sarecky holds the key to the
Sulzer defense and If he comes
through" his testimony will be valu-
able aid TO the prosecutors OF the
elected governor
The committee OF impeachment. OF
which Assemblyman Levy is the chair
man. was TO meet lat this afternoon to
perfect plans. They will announce
that former Senator Edgar r. Brack.
EFT and John B. Stanchfield will be
their counsel and will take up the
general routine to be observed in the
conduct Of the trial.
