keachment trial Of VIM. Sulzer, elect
"a governor of New York Is being
ushed In the senate chamber, the
hates business affairs are being rap
div Strengthened out. Following the
bublic recognition by D, Cady Herrick
Ii the validity Of suspension OF Sui
er's functions, every head Of a state
department. who is here has notified
Acting Governor Glynn that his
wishes will hereafter guide them in
their official actions.
j The last department to succumb
VAS that of Governor sulzer himself.
His secretary Chester G. Platt today
brought to Glynn's temporary Offices
In the northeast wing Of the capital

been left in the big down stairs
Executive Offices. He turned 1t over

ing Governor Glynn and explained
that II there was anything that he
could do to aid the defacto admins
tration he would gladly do so.
So far as the actual trial of Sulzer
himself is concerned for the next few
Edays at least the case will drag while
