new YORK FIGHT
STOPS FOR WHILE
TRTCE OVER SUNDAY DECLARED
IN NEW YORK.
Sulzer Meets Glynn's Refusal to Go to
Court With Regrets at COndi-
ton.

truce over SUNDAY IS the present SlL-
uation in the fight for the governor
ship of New York State. Both Gov.
sulzer and Lieut. Gov. Glynn, as act
ing governor, signed official papers
today. Apart from this the only skir-
mish was the issuing by Gov. Sulzer
of reply to Mr.. Glynn's declination
of the suggestion that their differ
ences be taken at once to court. Gov.
Sulzer deplored this declination: point
ing out that it will probably lead to
trouble and litigation" The pur-
pose of the suggestion, he stated. was
'to avoid the spectacle of two persons
claiming to act as governor of this
great State at the same time"
Mr.. Glynn left his official fort on
the third floor of the capitol early in
the afternoon, but Gov. Sulzer stood
by his guns on the floor below
Throughout the day.
Didn't Ask 1t,
Gov. Suffers letter, which arrived
after Mr.. Glynn had left, emphati-
cally denied that his communication
suggesting that the controversy be
taken into court contained any "sug-
gestion that you should barter away
any of the functions attaching to the
Office of lieutenant governor, but SIM
ply that we seek a termination OF
what your and my rights and duties
are at the present juncture." The
letter continued:
"Your statement that the matter is
now in the highest court Of the State
the court of impeachment sug-
gest to you is very inaccurate. The
court of Impeachment will not con-
vene until the 18th of September. The
court is not to determine who is to
discharge the duties of governor
pending trial of the charges presented
to it, and Of course could not, in any
event, determine that question before
it convenes.
May Mean Trouble.
"Whatever the result of the charges
against me may be, it is certain that
future trouble and litigation will arise
growing out of your acts and mine,
and it was to prevent as far as pos
sible such future trouble, and to avoid
the spectacle of two persons claiming
to act as governor of this great State
at the same time, that l made the
suggestion that counsel for you and
for myself endeavor to agree upon
some method of presenting the ques-
ton as to who should act as governor
until the decision and determination
of the charges against me to the
courts at the earliest possible mo-
ment and that we abide by the law as
it should be determined by the
courts, not by counsel, and I regret
that my efforts in that behalf are'not
to have your cooperation.
Mrs. Sulzer, who is suffering from a
nervous breakdown, spent quiet af-
ternoon and was reported as resting
more comfortable tonight. Her tenn
Derature was given as 102 IL and her
pulse at 120.
To Fight for Sulzer.
Lynn J. Arnold, publisher of the
Albany Knickerbocker Press, one of
the governors closest counselors, an
nounced tonight that he will under
take to form a national law and Or
der committee to defend Gov. Sulzer,
''drive out of our public life and to
punish the political bosses to the full
est possible extent under the law"
Mr.. Arnold's announcement en-
bodies a telegram received by him
from Thomas w. Lawson, now at
Prineville, Oregon, volunteering to be
zone of the few men to supply the
necessary starting fund-and it must
be a big one-to make the fight a
winning one"
Mr.. Glynn still adheres to his ex-
pressed determination, not to engage
in physical contest either over pos
session of the executive suite or its
documents and appurtenancesl He
insists that it is a matter of no IN
portance what room he occupies in the
capitol and that the possession of the
privy seal, now in the hands OF Gov.
sulzer, is of no particular conse-
quence. By advice of the attorney
general he is having made a special
privy seal to use on official docu-
ments.
Many Support Him.
Gov. Sulzer made public today nu-
merous messages indorsing his stand
