as TO Mrs. SulzeI's illness.

Albany, n. Y.-Backed by nearly
every State official, Martin II, Glynn
Is discharging all Of the duties OF gov
crnor. He il not, however, in pos
session Of the executive chamber,
where William Sulzer still holds forth.
The regular routine Of the state OPP
eratiOns, excepting those of the de-
partment of prisons and the highway
department, IN which Sulzer appoin-
tees predominant, went over his desk
In the lieutenant governors rooms.
Pressure was being brought to bear
on Glynn from many sources to order
a descent by force on Sulzer, and to
eject the impeached governor and his
followers from the big executive Of
fees. So far Glynn has not respond
ed to this suggestion He has insist
ed that he will not enter any unseem-
ly wrangle. He has ordered that all
of the men under his control refrain
from any open criticism Of the Sulzer
forces.
Glynn, 1t is said, would willingly
hcve acceded to the Sulzer request
that proceedings In the state court be
agreed upon. but he and his attorneys
agreed that there was no way In
which the lower courts, especially the
appellate division of the supreme
court, could have jurisdiction over
proceedings in the court of impeach-
mcnt, which outranks II, and the let
tor OF refusal was drafted and sent to
Gov. Sulzer This action has muddled
the Situation. with the result that the
state probably will have two COVER
nors for a long time to come.
GlyHn has much the better Of tho
fight His right to act IL recognized
by most OF the state officials. In adj
dition, II is now proposed that when
the legislature convenes on Tuesday
resolution shall be introduced and
passed by both houses, affirming
Glynn's position and recognizing him
as the de facto governor. II that is
done. there is likelihood that an at
tempt will be made to pass another
resolution demanding that Glynn take
steps to secure possession OF the ex-
ecutive Offices. Although Sulzer re-
tains the prlvy seal, locked In his
desk, It was expected that a replica
OF It would be made for the use of tho
lieutenant governor in his capacity as
acting governor.
The feeling between the factions
is growing increasingly bitter, and
threats OF physical violence were
made by lesser lights, but these are
not taken seriously as yet
II was expected that Sulzer having
the definite refusal Of Glynn to agree
TO court proceedings before him,
would be forced TO act He and his
lawyers conferred on this matter.

tage. The original proposal that they
prepare the way for habeas corpus
action by pardoning a convict from
Sing Sing prison and then having the
warden hold up the execution of the
pardon, has been blocked. Secretary
of State May will not permit the use
OF the great seal Of the state to at
test the document, and without that
Il is worthless. Judge Herrick, chief
counsel for Sulzer, was carefully cx-
aiming precedents and was expected
to find a way out
The mystery surrounding the con.
dition of Mrs. Sulzer continued. At
the executive mansion all informa-
ton was refused. II is said she has
suffered a severe attack of hysteria
and her temperature rose alarminSly.
