New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-08-15


come necessary in writing.
There is no doubt in my mind nor
in the mind Of the adjutant general
said Colonel Howard later. that Mar
tin III. Glynn is now Governor OF the
state by virtue Of the Impeachment
proceedings, and il is clear that the
national guard. as an organized 'pouy
cannot take any orders from William
sulzer until ne clears himself OF the
Impeachment"
In no other department OF the state
did the officials take any such aniriiia-
tive action as that taken by LleutehdhI
Colonel Howard, and in the executive
department, of course, the force III
sisted that there could not be any
change in the states business unless
Governor Sulzer was found guilty by
the Impeachment court.
Mr. Sulzer signed two interstate
documents to-day. The first was
reouisition on the Governor OF New
Jersey for the extradition of a prisoner
now being held in that state VINO is
wanted in New York, and the second
WAS the extradition paper granted on
the requisition of Governor Hatheld Oh
West Virginia for James Motley
prisoner in a New York City ponce
station.
Chester G. Plat. the Governors sec
rotary. refused to make public the
name OF the prisoner in the New jersey
case even when he was told that II
was a matter of public record. On tna'
demand he did, however. 80 into the
Governors private Office for consuita-
ton. and when he came out he oo'e
with his continued refusal TINS mes
sage:
This is a time of war. There is a
hattie on, and the ordinary rou-
tine does not obtain. guess you Kno"
why. can only say that the ORDINARY
business of the office is going on.
The last formal move in the cere.
-mony of impeachment-the service u
the Senate's notice of impeachment w.
eether with the summons ana COM
nlaint in that action calling upon SUI
ger 10 present himself before the couE'
Of Impeachment on September 10 a'
noon-was made at 100 O'CLOCK liiis
r,orning. II was utterly casual, ana
tho Governor himself made 1T even
more so by his apparent indifference
and his refusal to add anything 10 .ho
procedure by an answer TO falrlch M
Cabe. who served the papers.
NcCabe, as clerk of the Senate hdu
arranged to be received by the Gov
ernor at IL o'clock, and the EXECUTIVE
chamber held about fifty VISITORS d.
that hour, most of whom were specla-
tors who had come simply 10 watch the
eral act in the drama of formal I'M
peachment
Mr.. Suffers coterie Of personal anu
uolitical associates, including IohI
Hennessy. Senator Gottfried Wende' OF
Erie. and his secretary. chester -
Platt. were in the chamber.
Senate Summons Served
Mr. Platt escorted the Governor from
his private office to the big desk IN the
large Executive Chamber where NC
Cabe was waiting. The Senate clerA
and boss Of Albany County VINO mas
beer one of the chief lieutenants OF
Nurphy in the fight on sulzer' put out
his hand and said:
Good morning, Governor
The Governor seemed to hesitate 'he
fraction of a second, and then ne shook
hands and. with that over, McCaDe
rroceeded to 20 through the formula OF
serving the papers.
'I have been directed by the presl-
dent of the Senate to serve upon you
these charges, summons and complaint
end articles Of impeachment" the SEN
etc clerk announced. handing the Gov
.rror the papers, which were bound In
q blue cover. M
The Governor took them and, with
ont even a glance at them, tossed them
onto his desk.
IAN right" was his only comment
erd then he turned 10 mis- secretary
asked for Mr. Graves, clerk IN the
enerossing bureau, and sat down IN MS
chair. leaving McCabe standing in 'front.'
-. ,ho desk rather uncomfortably. Mr..
su,zer never so much as glanced
,oward the Senate clerk again, ana NC
Cobe waited a minute and then walked
cut.
Mr. Platt. the Governors secretary

the newspaper men:
