SUlZER'S LAWYERS AWAIT MOVE BY GLYNN TO BRING FIGHT
 ON IMPEACHMENT.
MRS. SULZER IN COLLAPSE
Both Sides Declare There Will Be No Clash of Physical Nature-Re- ported Phiander C. Knox
 Will Head Defense.

Albany, Aug. 16.-IW0 governors are now on duty in New York. Will liam Sulzer, under impeachment by the lower house of the state legisla- ture, held undisputed possession of the mansion and the executive cham Der in the capitol. Lieut-Gov. Glynn, recognized by the followers of Tam many as the acting governor, held forth in his little room off the senate chamber
 Displaying contempt he made no effort to conceal, Gov. SulZer accept ed service of the impeachment reso- lution prepared by the assembly It was served on him by Patrick E. Nc Cabe, clerk of the state senate, which, with the judges of the court of ap- peals, will sit as final court to dis pose of the charges. Gov. Sulzer, after looking the papers over casual ly, threw them on his desk and paid no further attention to them.
 No Physical Conflict.
 There was no conflict of a physical nature Sulzer and his lawyers do not recognize the validity of the assem- bly's action. They have planned their various moves, but will wait until they see what Glynn intends to do. The latter, by advice of his counsel, will hardly make any open move un- tilF the legislature reconvenes next Tuesday. Then he probably will send the name of Abram I. Elkus, reform CT and lawyer, to the senate for ap- pointment as state commissioner of labor. Elkins will immediately be confirmed. and thus the way will be paved for court proceedings.
 Before that, however, Sulzer. through his lawyers, plans to get ac- tion. He will pardon convict in Sing Sing prison, where there is a according to the plans, question the right of Sulzer to act, and habeas corpus writ will be sued out immedi- ately. No matter how the lower courts shall decide on the case, it will be taken to the supreme court of the United States.
 Mrs. Sulzer Nervous Wreck.
 Overshadowing the cold, legal pro ceedlngs is the pitiable plight of Mrs. Sulzer. She is reported to be nerv- ous wreck. So serious, in fact, is her condition that the governor hurriedly summoned Dr. Abrams, a nerve spe- cialist, from New York, and he in- sisted that the stricken woman be kept quiet.
 Until Mrs. Sulzer recovers her health and spirits, it was stated, no announcement will be made of what her story will be. The governors friends intimate, however, that after she has taken the stand and told her complete story there will be nothing left of the impeachment proceedings.'
 VIII Not Avoid Writ
 There is ali increasing feeling of doubt that the impeachment proceed ings will get under way Sept: 1S Sul- gers lawyers quietly state that lcag before that date the judges will have been enjoined from action by a writ from a federal court.
 We will meet these charges in an orderly and dignified way" said for mer Justice Cady Herrick of Sulzer's counsel. There will be no physical demonstration. I have ordered GOV Sulzer and Mrs. Sulzer to refrain from talking. We will try our case in open court. This is not the defense of William Sulzer, but the preserva- tion of the good name of the state Of New York. The governor has been guilty of no willful wrongdoing"
 This position that any action must be taken in a dignified manner was subscribed to by Lieut.-Gov. Glynn. This attitude had the general approv- al of all except the more hot-h,aded Tammany followers, who wanted to embarras Gov. Sulzer in every way.
 Something of sensation has been caused by the report that former At orney-General Philander c. Knox will be asked to assume charge of the governors defense. It is expected
