AL, and LIEUTENANT. GOVERNOR
GLYNN, EACH ATTEMPT TO RUN
STATE GOVERNMENT.
MRS. SULzER SERIOUSLY
ILL, SAYS GOVERNOR

York sat in the capitol today, each
asserting his right to the office and
attempting to conduct the states at
fairs from his own chamber.
William Sulzer, impeached governor
sat in the executive chamber on the
second floor of the building. He is
going to sit there every day, accord
ing to his friends, disregarding the
impeachment proceeding switch he re-
CARDS as unconstitutional
Martin H. Glynn, lieutenant govern
or, laid claim to the governorship on
the grounds that Sulzer ceased to be
governor when the senate received
the articles of impeachment yesterday
The army of state employees is de-
moralzed. Department heads are at
a loss to know whose instructions to
follow.
Mrs. Sulzer, star witness OF the I'M
peached governor, is 50 seriously I'LL
OF a nervous disorder that two addi-
tlonal specialists have been sum-
moned by wire to attend her. Govern
or Sulzer asserted emphatically that
he would not permit her to take the
stand at his trial for impeachment,
which probably will start September
%.
The articles of impeachment, COM
plant and summons, were served on
Governor Sulzer Immediately after his
arrival at the capitol by Patrick d.
tMcCabe, clerk of the senate. The gov.
ernor received Mr. McCabe in the
presence of newspaper men and capt.
tol attendants He shook hands with
Mr.. McCabe and took his stand behlnd
his big, fat-topped desk. while the
senate's envoy said:
81 am directed by the president OF
the senate to serve upon you sum-
mon and complaint and articles or
impeachment.
Governti' Sulzer took the papers,
grunted and tossed them, unopened,
on his desk.
"All right he said.
Then he posed for photograph
with Mr.. McCabe, asked the newspa-
rermen to be seated and sat down
himself at his desk His private Sec
retary stood beside him and made the
following announcement:
THE governor has been enjolned
by his counsel from making any state
ment. l will say, however, in his be-
half, that illness of Mrs. Sulzer is
giving the governor considerable con-
Germ. Her condition last night was
very serious. The specialist sum-
moned last night is here and the
moned last night from New York IS
here and the governor today sum-
moned two other doctors from Ne"
York to attend her.
Governor Sulzer then retired to his
private Office for a series OF confer
ences.
Mrs. Suffers temperature was lo2,
her pulse 110, her condition serious
and she could see no one, according
to a bulletin issued this afternoon.
Governor Sulzer continued to exer-
else the functions OF the executive TO-
day, signing among other papers,
requisition from the governor OF Ne"
Jersey, for the extradition of per-
son in custody in this state. The
name of the Individual sought by the
New Jersey authorities was not made
public.
Adjutant General Hamilton, head OF
the national guard of New York, and
Sulzer appointee, recognized Lieu !
tenant Governor Glynn as acting gov
e,nor of the state this afternoon,
sending an emissary to ask him If
there were any orders he cared to
transmit Mr. Glynn said he had no
orders, and if he did have any in the
future he would make them in writ
ing
Secretary of State Hay has decided !
to recognize Mr.. Glynn's claim to the !
acting governorship, according to Mr..
Glvnn's friends. The great seal of the
state of New York is in Mr.. Mays |
office and access to it will be given to
Mr.. Glynn and denied to Mr.. Sulzer,
they assert.
The complex machinery OF the state
government over which William Sui
yer and Martin H. Glynn claimed sole
authority. bade fair today to be thrown
out of gear by their rival attempts to
direct it.
Heads o. the many departments
we're divided into two groups. One
Of these groups, under the leadership
Of Sulzer, adhered to his contention
+hot his impeachment yesterday was
institutional, and prepared to con-
IN their obedience to his instruc-
tt as if there had been no impeach-
era.,t. The other, holding that he ceas-
to be governor when the senate
lived the articles of impeachment
-ged against him, was marshaled
er the standard of Glynn, ready to
" out his orders and to ignore any
ch the impeached governor might
f1t to issue.
Though Governor Sulzer and his
nsel-a group with wide reputation
