IBy Telegraph to The Tribune
Albany, oct. 2S--Governor Glynn SAID
tonight that he would name man Of
large legal experience TO follow up the
charges OF highway and canal irreguiarl-
ties. When asked about the promise OF
John A. Hennessy. the Sulzer inVestf
gator. that II Governor Glynn would al-
point a prosecutor not connected with
the Office Of Attorney General Carmody
he would lay evidence before him snow
ing that an official employed on the state

traitor. $4,000 IN bills in 1910
81 have no desire TO reply directly or
indirectly" he said, ito any statement
made by John A. Hennessy. ! have al
ready said publicly that 1t was my inten-
ton 10 name a man in whom the pubic
will have confidence, man OF large
legal experience TO follow up all charges
;b4t nave been made IN relation TO hlgh-
way and canal irregularities. ! am faml!-
lar with the AFFAIRS Of the state govern
ment and my record as Ionuoher
shows that I never faltered III the m
vestigation of charges when the facts
justified it.
Points to His Record.
ANY investigation as Controller was
not made for partisan or newspaper ei'
feet. hut was intended TO protect and
improve the public service. That my IN
yesugations resulted in permanent good
Is every day manifested. At the time Of
those Investigations Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor. and my Investigations were CON
Quoted in such proper manner and with
such non-partisan purposes. solely for
the public good, that they met with the
cordial approval and commentator OF
the then Republican Governo" and OF the
public generally.
The results achieved ought TO be a
guarantee that so long as ny official
relations 70 any Of the departments OF
state require investigation for the pro-
lection or betterment OF the public ser
vice they will be conducted with thor
ouehness. promptness and with all the
efficiency which | am capable Of inject
ing into them Whatever investigations
my duty to the people may require me TO
conduct. or cause to be conducted, viii
lie conducted for the public good. by the
ascertainment of facts capable OF proof
so that they may be Of benefit TO the pub
lie and not for the purpose of reckless'Y
charging any one with offences Incapable
Of proof In other words. my nVesusd-
lions will be conducted by capable men,
of sound judgment and not by politicians
or muCkrakers.'
Governor Glynn was also asked about
the charges made in the New York cam
paisn by Jay W. Forrest, of this city
that he was present at meeting at
Denmonico's al which the impeachment
Of Governor Sulzer was decided upon"
Denies Forests Story.
This statement is absolutely. unquah-
fiedly and wickedly false said Giynn.
when Forrest says that / was present
at Z dinner at DelmOnico's at which Mr..
Suffers impeachment was decided upon
he states an absolute falsenood. ! never
discussed the impeachment Of Mr.. SUI
ger at DelmOnicos, or elsewhere. and
never attended dinner or conference
anywhere else where it was discussed"
Governor Glynn said he attended din
ner at Delmonico's early last spring. but
that IL was before any differences be
tween Governor Sulzer and the Demo
cratic organization existed.
After hearing OF the Sulwell letter AMI
the Sulzer charges the Governor issued
statement denying that he ever had
been approached on the former Senator
case OF that ne had any plan 20 free him.
SO far as 1 am concerned, there IS not
o word Of truth in the statement he
said. NO one ever spoke to me about
a pardon for Sulwell, or even suggested
the subject ] have never expressed
myself upon the subject TO any one.
No one has been permitted 10 make any
such statement, suggestion or agreement
by me. / have not even thought Of the
Stilwell case.
NO one has made any application TO
me with reference to executive clemency
for StiiwelI. The matter has never IN
any way been brought to my attention.
No one mas had the slightest justification
for mentioning my name in connection
with this matter II is another case OF
Lyperbolic use OF the imagination for
political effect
