that Tammany paid cold cash for the
four votes they needed to pass this reso-
luton, and they also used money to
keep wavering votes In line. We will
be prepared to prove this before we are
through. There are some gentlemen
mixed up in this who are headed
straight to Jail.
The Glynn letter. the second directed
by Mr.. Glynn to Mr.. Sulzer today. was
taken to the executive mansion, where
Mr.. Sulzer holds undisturbed possession.
Up to a late hour no reply had been
given out by Mr.. Sulzer. who announced
that he was gravely concerned at the
illness of his wife.
Mr.. Glynn withheld action till today In
order that nothing might .be done hastily
or without due consideration. He was
very much In earnest. however. about
impressing the people Of the State Of the
necessity of ending all controversy about
the Governorship.
Won't Call In Police.
Mr.. Glynn has utterly disregarded the
fact that the Sulzer supporters have
sought to make an issue between him
and Sulzer He insists that he Is not the
issue, but that having been made acting
Governor by the impeachment of Sulzer.
he proposes to act. and to have the ma
chinery to act with.
The advice OF hot-headef counselors
to call the cops and put Sulzer out"
he has swept Indignantly aside. nor Is
there any likelihood that he will ever
resort to the militia forces now under
his control But he has the State sea:
and will soon have the privy seal and
all necessary blanks, and II Mr.. Sulzer
continues to maintain himself In the
barred executive chamber he will be left
there, and those who accept his sigma
ture as Governor may find II necessary to
have the courts pass on the business
transacted for them. The other events
of the day in She struggle for the Gov
ernorship may be summarized thus:

records and documents connected with
the executive department.

mands' and declared his intention of dis
charging the duties of governor. assert
ing that the legislature had no right to
impeach him. and the lieutenant COVER

Tell of ..Exhibit.."
The big story today is that money
was used to get the votes of members
of the Legislature for the impeach-
ment. Efforts are being made TO get
the evidence to prove this story.
1t is declared that when the Leg
islature met on Monday night the Muir
ply people had only sixty eight votes,
because several men they had counted
on were intimating that they world
have to be taken care of, as their
political careers would be ruined by
voting to impeach: that all night long
conferences were held behind locked
doors in the speakers room to hold In
line wavering members and to win
over those who had not listened to
reason" and that two members were
active In the use Of persuasion on
members who were doubtful.
There was a story around Albany on
Monday night about the delay in taking
the vote being caused by waiting for
two members who were expected on the
train from New York. What the wait
was really foS. the Governors friends
say, was a messenger from New York |
with a handbag. Those who were called |
into the Speakers room explained that |
the purpose OF their visits was to view |
the exhibits that were displayed there. |
Some affidavits are expected to sup
port the charge that intimidation GER |
tainIy was used and that money passed |
in the effort to drag out the necessary |
votes. As soon as the case Is ready |
il will be taken before the grand jury. |
