(National News Association

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 15.-'I recOg-
nize Mr.. Glynn as governor, and shall
not officially honor commands of Mr.
Sulzer," said Secretary of State May
today. "If he takes exceptions to my
opinion | shall ask the attorney gen
eral for an opinion and abide by it."
1t Is understood that Mr.. Glynn is
to make a request in the form of an
official order, which the secretary of
state will honor. The two moves will
be made to secure at once an opinion
from the attorney general.
Mrs. Sulzer Better.
Mrs. Sulzer, who suffered a nervous
breakdown, shows signs of improve
ment today. She had good nights
rest and was much refreshed this
morning, but was still confined to her
bed.
1t was learned today that Martin H.
Glynn will resort to the power of his
Office to force William Sulzer to re-
linquish his claim as governor in case
SulZer ignores a formal letter inform
Eng him that Glynn is the executive.
The letter, which is a brief one, con-
tains the statement that the assembly
has impeached him and calls on him
to turn over possession of the Office,
the state documents and the custody
of the executive chamber forthwith.
Public Men Watched.
Every man in public life is being
watched, The movements are duly
nd to lp1
representing the Sulzer and anti-Sul-
zer forces.
Public-pirited men who fear that the
state may be discredited in the eyes
of the nation if the fierce and sensa-
tional struggle is allowed to continue,
attempted to work a solution through
diplomacy, but failed. Neither the Sui
ger adherents nor the opponents of
the governor would listen to proposals
of arbitration.
1t has become known that Judge
c. Cady Herrisk and others of Mr.. Sui
Zer's counsellors are casting about to
find if. they can bring criminal charges
against Charles F. Murphy, state lead
er of Tammany, on the ground that
Mr.. Murphy had conspired with other
the government. At the same time
sensational report was circulated
that Mr.. SulZer was urging that a
charge of treason be lodged against
the assembly managers who were in
structed to handle the prosecution at
the impeachment trial.
Could Have Saved Self.
Friends of the governor declare the
executive could have forestalled i'm
peachment in the assembly if he had
consented to relinquish his fight for
certain state measures. This he re-
fused to do in the belief that the vote
would show a majority against the i'm
peachment resolution.
Fresh complications have been add
ed by the fact that Aaron J. Levy, ma
jority leader in the assembly, has been
overcome by the eva Sing events and
is confined to his nd suffering from
nervous prostration. He is the second
victim, Mrs. Sulzer being i'll from the
shock of the bitter attack against her
husband.
Telegrams have been sent to asso-
ciate justice of the United States su-
preme court, Charles E. Hughes, to
use his influence to straighten out the
tangle and prevent the bitter conflict
from growing into actual civil war.
Mr.. Hughes, although a Republican
has big following among the indie
pendent Democrats in this state. He
formerly was governor of New York.
Volunteer Their Services.
! The following lawyers have con-
consented to represent the governor
without charge: Irving G. Vann of Syr-
acuse. Harvey D. Hinman, of Bing-
hampton A. G. Fox of New York and
Louis Marshall of New York.
Thomas w Lawson of Boston. may
get into the fight as he has offered
Governor Sulzer 100000 with which
ito fght Tammany, If Mr.. Lawson is
allowed to direct the campaign. The
friends of the governor urged him TO
accept,
Mr. Glynn has retained Attorney Ed
win Countryman. Patrick c. Dugan
and several other well-known lawyers.
| Although rs years old. Mr.. Countryman
/ is regarded as one of the best lawyers
In this city.
The governor said he would spend
at least eight hours at the capitol to-
day, unless the condition of his wife
prevented. He further declared that
he would transact state business of
any nature that came before him.
