Albany. N. T., Aug. 13.-Gov-
ernor William Sulzer was i'm
peached today by the assembly.
The action Of the lower house OF
the state legislature raised vital
question as to whether under the
constitution the governor must va
cate his Office pending Anal adju
dication Of the impeachment issue
by the senate and the court of ap-
peals sitting Jointly as trial
court.
Indications are that he will con-
test bitterly the theory Of the op.
! position that he becomes auto
i.latically barred from exercising
the functions of office the moment
the articles Of impeachment are
formally presented to the senate
and that he will be disqualified
from resuming the duties of execu.
tive until the court Of impeach-
ment fails to sustain these charges.
This afternoon, eight hours after
the assembly adopted the articles
Of impeachment. the governor was
in consultation with legal advisors
and had not announced his tnten-
ton.
The governor reached the capitol
shortly after II o'clock. He smiled
cheerfully to correspondents who
greeted him and posed on the steps
Of the capitol for the camera men.
.1t's a fine morning, gentlemen"
he said.
Lieutenant Governor Martin H.
Glynn came into Albany from his
summer home at Cedar Hill during
the forenoon and went to his news
paper office as usual. He declined
. To comment on the situation. II
Governor Sulzer Is deposed Mr..
Glynn will automatically take MS
place.
The fact that the various state
departments and bureaus are Oh
yided in their allegiance to the
royernor and the democratic or
ranization which is seeking to de-
nose him. stimulates interest IN
the complicated situation. The pos
s,h;litv OF two men endeavoring to
discharge the functions OF the chief
executive at the same time sug-
oest a chaotic condition that the
oour4. alone would have power to
deal with.
Governor sulzer, according to a
close friend, already has drafted
with the advice Of his counsel
letter embodying reasons Tor re-
fu.,nr to turn over his onice to
= te,,t anant Governor Glynn. in an
.ticination Of such demand I'M
j, ,o.diately following official recep-
ton ~ the articles Of impeachment
; by the senate.
The senate was not expected to
meet until late in the afternoon.
.1 do not intend to enter into
arv physical contest with MT.
aulzer over the ocs.ce Of governor,
said Lieutenant Governor Giynn
this afternoon. "As far as I am
concerned there will be no circus
or military maneuvers about oc-
cnpvine the executive chamber.
The law 10 supreme"
