Albany, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-With the
assembly of the state legislature
adopting the resolution providing
impeachment proceedings against

governors when the senate this af-

AS soon as the senate convenes, a

sembly will inform the senate that

also adopted by the senate the state
constitution provides Sulzer must
reinquish office until he Is vindicat-
ed of the charges or permanently
ousted from the governorship.

Sulzer is expected to resist sus-
pension and undoubtedly will at
tempt to continue to occupy the ex-

expected that Lieut.. Governor Glynn

tect his office, the constitution pro-
viding that he shall automatically as
sumo charge of the affairs Of the

It was learned here today that Sen

which investigated the charges
against the governor, called secretly
at Suffers office last night. He 1:
said to have looked repeatedly ovel
his shoulder as II watching to see
whether he was being shadowed
Frawley remained with the governor
but ten minutes The visit gave rise
to reports that reconciliation haC
been effected and that the charges
against Sulzer would not be press
ed, but Frawley emphatically denied
: this.
Probe for Senator Frawley.
Chairman John Hennessey, of tn,
