From a statr Correspondent Of The Tribune J
Albany, Aug. 13.-The solemn ritual OF
the notification Of impeachment occupied
both the Assembly and Senate for several
hours this afternoon. With the upper
house in session. the first move came
when the Assembly committee Of notin-
cation. consisting OF Messrs. Van Woert,
Cole and Bradley, appeared In the sen
ate Chamber at twenty minutes after 8
O'Clock.
Their message as delivered by the COM
rnittee chairman was as follows:
mir. President. in obedi snce 10 the or
der OF the Assembly, we appear before
YOU in the name of the Assembly OF the
State of New York and all OF the people
OF the State of New York. We do Inn
peach william Sulzer. Governor OF the
State of New York, Of wiful and cor
rupt misconduct in office and for hlgh
crimes and msdemeanors. and We 90
further inform the Senate that the AS
sembly will, in due time, exhibit articles
OF Impeachment against him and make
good the same, and in their name we de-
mand that the Senate shall take order
for the appearance Of said william
Sulzer 10 answer said impeachment.
The Senate Chamber was crowded with
spectators, who followed intently every
move in the ceremony. The Senators
themselves, as we'll as the various repre-
sentatiyes OF the Assembly who ap-
peared seemed to be deeply impressed
with the solemn nature OF the proceed
ings.
The Clerk OF the Assembly. George X.
Van Nance. followed the nothcation
committee with message TO INFORM
the Senate that the Assembly. through
the Speaker, had appointed managers 10
conduct the impeachment. and that these
managers would shortly wait upon the
Senate to convey the articles OF jmpeach-
ment to that body.
Aaron J. Levy. at the head OF COM
mittee OF managers. was the next As
sembly representative TO address Senator
Robert +. Wagner. who presided. lie
said:
Mr.. President, the board OF managers
appointed by the Assembly to- conduct
the impeachment Of William Sulzer, Gov
ernor Of the State OF New York. respect
fully submit the following articles ac-
cepted by the Assembly OF the state or
New York, in the name OF themselves
and OF the people OF the State OF New
York against William Sulzer. Governor
Of said state. In maintenance OF their
impeachment against him for wilful and
corrupt misconduct in his said ONCE and
for high crimes and misdemeanors.'
II was 3:S9 o'clock when Mr. Levy began
his address. and 1t was 305 o'clock when
he finished The rotations OF time were

POLICY OF INACTION
ADOPTED BY GLYNN

executive chamber; the law Is su-
preme."
The inaction OF Lieutenant Governor
Glynn in the matter was in the face OF
arguments given expression both In the
Senate and in the Assembly to-day that
at the moment the articles OF impeach-
ment were presented 70 the Senate
Governor Sulzer automatically ceased
to be the Chief Executive.
This intention was based on an ar
ticle in the constitution which says
that in case OF impeachment Of the
Governor the powers and duties
OF the office shall devolve upon the
Lieutenant Governor"
1t was held by the majority leaders
that the word Impeachment" CORE
sponded With the word Indictment" in
criminal trial and that therefore.
in the meaning OF the Constitution. the
Governor already stood impeached,
even though not yet convicted. and
was, therefore, not now eligible to hold
his office.
These arguments were placed before
the Lieutenant Governor by the Dem
ocratic leaders early in the afternoon,
but nevertheless Governor Sulzer was
not molested.
Louis Marshall, the Governors coun-
sell is quoted as placing a different in
depreciation on the law from that Of the
majority leaders. According TO the
quoted expression Of Mr.. Marshalrs
views. the language of the constitution
is not clear on this point, and Governor
Sulzer could give himself the benefit OF
the doubt by refusing TO vacate the
| ONCE.
The fact that the various state de-
partments and bureaus are divided in
their allegiance TO the Executive and
the Democratic organization which is
| seeking to depose him stimulates inter-
est in the complicated situation. The

THE TINES. For his exculpation II
is not enough TO show that Tsmmany
would have let him go unwhipped II he
had consented to bend the knee. IL is
against him as Governor that these
charges OF willfu and corrupt miscon-
duct, of high crimes and msdemeanors.
are brought, and nothing but disproof Will
satisfy the tribunal or the public. State
ments and proclamations and lawyers de-
vices for evasion Will avail him nothing
He must stand his trial and abide by It's
result"
THE WORLD: "A great deal OF
public sympathy has been expressed with
the Governor during these proceedings.
Most OF this sympathy has been earned
for him by the corrupt character and
Matchmaking methods Of Tammany Hall.
but II IS not conceivable that sane sym
patty can remain with the Governor
while he persists In evadlng the accusa-
tions against him. In the circumstances
the only thing an honest man can do Is
TO demand speedy and impartial trial.
Does the Governor intend his conduct TO
be n confession OF conscious dishonesty
and personal belief in his own guilt?'
THE HERALD: The adoption by
the Assembly Of resolution pro-
vidng for impeachment proceedings
against Governor Sulzer was. OF course,
TO have been expected. The testimony
taken by the Frawley committee makes
this action necessary.
"Thc seriousness OF the charges against
the Governor is unquestioned. To the
most important OF these he has entered
positive and emphatic denial, and there
U.s. we believe, no disposition on the part
of the people Of New York to convict
him in advance Of trial before the proper
tribunal"
THE PRESS:
'Mr. Glynn, If he does not tight his
party managers must stand In the posi-
ton where he will often be regarded by
those outside OF II as its selected tool TO
replace Sulzer. II he disagrees with his
party he must be denounced by those
within II as gallery player.
But verybody-Democrat, Progressive
or Republican-ought to give Mr. Glynn a
fair chance to show. In his very difficut
position. what sort OF Governor he can
make for New York. take him just as II
he had been elected TO the once instead
OF forced into II by impeachment pro-
ceedngs. encourage him wherever he
seems to be meeting the requirements OF
this very extraordinary situation. and
make generous allowance for him, though

tFrom n STAFF Correspondent OF The Tribune
Albany, Aug. 13.-Martin H. Glynn,
whom Tammany legislators are calling
Governor" to-day. announced tonight
that he would take no steps to get
physical possession OF the Executive
Chamber or the machinery Of the Gov
ernorship.
Mr.. Glynn came in from Cedar Hill,
his country place. at II o'clock this
morning and spent the day in his Of
flee awaiting Suffers move. The Lieu
tenant Governor was in the Capitol for
almost two hours after the completion
OF the Assemblys notification TO the
Senate that Governor Sulzer had been
impeached, but he made no move to
reach out for the job Of Acting Gov
ernor, which the constitution appar-
entity gives TO him in Article 4. Sec
ton 6.
Mr.. Glynn will be in the Lieutenant
Governors room again tomorrow, and
has told his friends that he will not 20
near the executive chamber until Sui
ger has left II.
Constitu ,ional lawyers in the Legls-
lature believe that Mr.. Glynn must be
paid the salary of Governor beginning
at about 4 o'clock this afternoon, as
that was the hour at which the notifi-
cation of Impeachment was completed.
It is contended that Sulzer, as sus-
pended Governor, has neither the pow
ers. duties nor compensation Of that
Office. and that Glynn, az acting Gov
ernor, has the right to the pay Of that
office until sulzer IS acquitted, or until
a verdict OF guilty on the impeachment
makes Glynn actually Governor instead
OF as at present acting Governor.
The Lieutenant Governor would not
indicate tonight what action he pro-
posed eventually TO take. except TO say
that there would be mo circus or mill
tory maneuvres about occupying the

and we are satisfied that he has been
guilty Of no wilful wrongdoing.
I'VE ask the public in his behalf, for
a suspension Of judgment until all the
facts can be disclosed before the
proper tribunal and in an orderly
way"
Sulzer left the executive chamber At
6 o'clock to night. AS he came out
he greeted the newspaper men with a
smile. and as he stepped into his auto
mobile he said. Nothing tonight,
gentlemen / will see you all to-mor-
row"
The Governor had scarcely left the
Capitol when McCabe, the Senate
clerk. arrived at the executive cham
her to arrange for the service of the
impeachment summons. McCaoe
found all doors leading into the execu-
tive offices closed and locked, but
Major Edward @. Schermerhorn. the
Governors military secretary, an
swered to his knocking. The major,
after a conference with Secretary
Plat, told McCabe, in answer TO his
question, that the Governor would re-
ceive him at II o'clock tomorrow
morning TO accept service Of the sum

parchment.
Crowd Stayed Till Dawn.
Suffers Impeachment in the AS
sembly came at daybreak this morn
ing. Through the night of bitter de-
bate an enormous crowd which filled
the Assembly chamber waited patiently
for the fatal vote. Chester c. Platt

gallery seat, and, like almost every one
else in the big crowd. stuck it out until
the vote was taken.
THE Governor who fought the
boss that was the keynote of Tam
many's final assault. Tammany did
not at the time, and does not now, put
in any defence of its motives.
The majority leader, Aaron ]. Levy,
in the final argument on his resolution
TO impeach centred his whole attack on
the documentary evidence Of the
checks contributed TO Suffers cam
paign fund and converted to his Wall
Street operations. Suffers defenders
in the Assembly disregarded that docu-
mentary evidence and based their
whole plea on the bias of the Frawley
committee and on the political and fac
tional nature of the attack on Sulzer.

Levy said. in closing his speech in sup

MRS. SUFFERS STORY
IS NOT CONFIRMED
Wife of Governor "Not Known"
by Brokers Who Told OF
Stock Transactions.
CHECKS WERE CERTIFIED
Not Authorized to Sign Hus-
bands Name to Checks,
Says Bank Handling
Campaign Funds.

The remarkable story that Mrs. Sui
ger had assumed responsibility for the
diversion Of campaign funds and the
stock speculations with which Gov
ernor Suffers name Is connected failed
Yesterday to receive confirmation from
the firms who told the Frawley COM
mittee OF the transactions.
At none of the brokerage houses and
banks through which the campaign
checks passed was it admitted that
Mrs. Sulzer had anything to do with
the purchase and sale OF stocks; nor
could affirmation be obtained Of the
inference that her signature OF William
Suffers name was honored at the
banks.
Three different accounts, according
10 the testimony before the Frawley
committee, were carried either directly
in the name Of William Sulzer or in
the name OF Frederick A. Colwell. the
alleged Intermediary. or as the famous
Account No 500."' These accounts
were with Harris & Fuller. Fuller e.
Gray and Boyer. Griswold & Co, which
has since dissolved.
At the office of Harris & Fuller, only
the statement that the firm would
stand on its explanatory statement Of
the Sulzer account could be obtained.
I'm the explanation, after Governor Sui
ger had denied having a speculative ac-
count. the firm described the transac-
ton as that of loan, with stock
pledged as collateral.
