Albany, N. Y, Aug. 13 With
Governor Sulzer impeached by the
assembly and the date of his trial be-
fore the senate and judges of the
court Of appeals filed for September
Is, the spectacle was presented We'd
nesday night of two men claiming to
be governor Of the state of New York.
AS soon as the articles of impeach-
ment adopted at early hour this morn
ing by the democratic majority in the
assembly were presented to the SEN
tie shortly after 3 o'clock this after
noon, Lieutenant Governor Martin H.
Glynn announced his intention Of oc-
cupying the executive chamber.
Friends Of Governor Sulzer declar-
ed that the governor intended to
continue in office and would use
every weapon in his power to main
tain his position on the ground that
the assembly had no constitutional
rght to consider impeachment at its
extraordinary session.
Some asserted that the governor
would go so far as to summon mil
ltary protection if necessary to pre-
vent the lieutenant governor from
occupying the executive chamber.
Judge d. Cady Herrick who will
act as chief council for the governor
at his trial, said tonight that talk
OF resort to force is the merest rot"
He will meet the charges against
him in an orderly and dignified way,
said Judge Herrick, "and will do mo-
thing unbecoming the dignity of the
state. He will engage in no physical
scramble to assert his rights to dis
charge the functions OF the office OF
governor ."
Won't Surrender Office
The governor himself was silent.
When at o'clock tonight he left
lis office in the capitol where he had
een closeted the entire day he was
sked if he expected to return to
borrow.
Yes, siree," he replied in angry
,nes.
SO far as could be learned, no at
'mpt was made by Lieut.. Governor
lynn in any way to exercise the
lnctions of chief executive today.
1t there was every indication that
ere would be a clash OF authority
morrow when both men appear at
e capitol.
The lieutenant governor would not
dicate tonight what action he pro-
'sed to take except to say that
ere would be no circus nor mill
ry maneuTers about occuying the
ecutive chambers; the law is SUI
eme."
