DECIDES AGAINST

PLAN TO ISOLATE SULzER
Nurse Subpoenaed by Committee to
Tell Of Mrs. Sulzer's illness and Her
Alleged Confession.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 19.-When the
assembly of New York state voted last
week to impeach William Sulzer as
governor, Lieutenant Governor Martin
H. Glynn automatically succeeded to
the governorship and will continue to
hold that Office until Governor Sulzer
is acquitted or the impeachment pro-
ceedings are dismissed by the court of
impeachment.
An opinion to that effect was given
by Attorney General Carmody to Sec
rotary of State Mitchell May. In the
same opinion Mr.. Carmody holds that
the power of impeachment may be ex-
ercised at any time the assembly may
determine upon, and for that reason the
assembly acted within it's legal rights
when it voted in favor of impeach-
ment proceedings despite the fact that
the legislature was convened in extra
ordinary session.
The attorney generals opinion is
expected to have an important bearing
on the controversy concerning who is
governor of New York state. 1t is
customary for state departments to|
adhere to the opinion of the attorney
genera: until set aside by the courts.
Another official act was performed
by Acting Governor Glynn. He honor
ed reuisition papers from the COVER
nor of Massachusetts surrendering to|
the authorities a criminal wanted in
that state.
The only official act of Governor Sui
ger was to attend the scheduled meet
ing Of the board Of trustees of state
public buildings. He was the only
member of the board present. Cover
nor Sulzer made public long list OF
delegates he had designated to attend
the third American read congress, tol
be held at Detroit in September, but
the designations are merely voluntary
upon the governors part and not in
pursuance of any law permitting him
to make them.
Following out the plan to isolate
Governor Sulzer in the executive
chamber and to pay no attention to
his claims to be the acting governor
of the state, Acting Governor Glynn
and his legal advisers changed their |
mind regarding the holding of meet
ing of the board of trustees of public |
buildings in the lieutenant governors
efnor Glynn, Acting Iieutenant Gov |
ernor Wagner and Speaker of the AS
sembly Smith, and decided not to hold
this meeting until later, after getting |
an opinion from the attorney general
that 1t was not necessary for the trus-
tees to meet at the time the bids for
constructive work on the capitol were |
to be opened.
It is expected that Acting Governor
Glynn will meet with the other two
trustees whom he recognizes, Wagner
and Smith, and formally designate the |
lieutenant governors room as the ex-
ecutives06ices.
Governor Sulzer was in better spir- |
its and the careworn look which he
has carried since his impeachment
was less pronounced. He showed that |
the continued Improvement in Mrs. |
Suffers condition had relieved him of |
q great care.
