The legislature meets tomorrow and

by the legislature, but no definite action
is yet outlined. 1t is thought that the

Guests Of Gov. Glynn.
Some of the newspaper correspondents
passed Sunday afternoon with Gov. Glynn
at his charming home on the Hudson
river a few miles below the city. Re-
ceived by the governor and his beautiful
young wife, the visitors were made to
feel at home in the spacious parlors of
the mansion, and for two hours discussed
informally, and not for publication. the
situation.
Without violating confidence or outrag-
ing hospitality, it can be said that Gov.
Glynn intends to pursue a conservative
course; that he has no sort of idea of at
tempting anything revolutionary or even
violent. He has placed himself unre-
servedly in the hands of his counsel,
Judge Countryman, in whose wisdom he
has utmost confidence, and that gentle
mans advice is that he should rest upon
the contention that he is legally the gov
ernor Of the state of New York and let
events march up to him.
Question Mrs. Sulzer's Illness.
Another sordid turn is being given the
Sti1zer angle of the situation by actual
questioning Of the fact that his wife is
really i'll. or as badly of as reports in
dicate.
Gov. Sulzer remained at home all day
yesterday with his wife and had nothing
to say to the newspaper men for publi-
his usual cordiality. Gov. sulzer has no
particular program in view. He will
continue to hold down his job Of governor
as long as they will let him. and does
not expect any developments until the
legislature meets.
He realizes that he is beset by enemies
who are intent upon destroying him if
they can and for the present he will play
waiting game.
There is no personal feeling between

proposition.
There is no excitement in town and the
populace seems to have settled down to
calm acceptance of situation that will
have to work itself out Albany is op-
pressed by the hottest weather Of years
and the frightful heat has taken the
gimp out of the most ambitious
Reports to Both Governors.
The two governors were in their re-
spective chambers shortly before noon.
Gov. Sulzer scored first by receiving a
report from Supt. Of Prisons Riley on
the Thaw case. 1t was observed, how
