SULzER ACCEPTS NOTICE

the Matter and Make Reply sin
Due rime"-Wlfe OF impeached
Governor In Improved Health.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 16.-Formal de.
mand has been made by Lieutenant
Governor Ciynn on Governor william
Sulzer for possession of the execu-
tive offices.
In a. letter setting forth that be-
cause OF the impeachment proceed
ings instituted by the assembly he
and not Sulzer is now de facto head
OF the state government Glynn asked
for possession of the big offices on
the east side of the capitol.
The letter was framed by Edward
Countryman and Patrick c. Dugan,
attorneys for Glynn, and under an ar
rangement was delivered to Governor
Sulzer. Sulzer refused to announce
Ia advance what his action was to
be. He stated that the demand would
be passed upon by his own lawyers
and the answer made In due and
proper time"
Indications are that the question
OF whether Sulzer automatically lost
the privileges conferred upon him by
the electorate of the state with the
adoption of the impeachment resolu-
tion will be expedited in the courts
Both sides want quick answer to
this because neither Sulzer nor
Giynn desires to have his actions de-
Clared illegal. But up to the present
time their attorneys have been unable
10 agree upon a plan whereby a test
could be made. That is what they
were devoting their energies to. I'm
less they can agree 1t Is likely the
state will continue to present the
spectacle of two men discharging the
duties of governor with a cloud over
the actions of each,

Governor Sulzer professed to be
more confident than ever that he
would not have to answer the i'm
peachment proceedings. He reiter-
ated his declaration that they were IL
legal But he declined to explain how
he hoped to enjoin the senate from
trying him. He declared that his
lawyers were handling that phase OF
the matter and that they did not IN
tend to show their hands in advance.
