ATTORNEY GENERAL
RECOGNIZES GLYNV
Renders Official Opinion at
the Request of New York
Secretary of State.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. ls.-Lieuten-
ant Governor Martin Fl. Glypn is the
lawful chief executive of New York
state pending the outcome Of impeacb-
ment proceedings against Governor
Sulzer, according to an official opinion
rendered today by Attorney General
Thomas Csrmody TO Secretary of State
Mitchell May. Mr.. Carmody holds that
the assembly was within its rights in
instituting Impeachment proceedings at
an extraordinary session.
''Wheu the governor is impeacbed
by the assembly, says the opinion,
"all of his powers are automatically
suspended until he has been acquitted
or the impeachment proceedings dis
missed by the court of impeachment.
In the meantime the lieutenant gov.
ernor acts as governor. This is the
plain intent Of our constitution. Any
other course would nullify its pro
visions.
