"Sulzer's letter TO Glynn. which seems
10 be the closing engagement in the
battle of typewrters" between the
two Governors" was as follows:
Hon. Martin H. Glynn, Lieutenant
Governor.
or: Your communication Of Friday
night refusing my suggestion that
counsel agree upon q method OF SUD
hitting to the courts the question as
to whether the presentation OF the
charges against me deprives me OF the
right and absolves me from the duty
Of continuing TO discharge the duties
of the office 10 which the people have
elected me. or whether il is your right
and duty to act as Governor penang
the trial of such charges. received.
There is no suggestion that you
should barter away any OF the func-
tons attaching TO the office OF Lieu
tenant Governor, but simply that we
seek a determination of what your and
my rights and duties are at the pres
ent juncture.
Your statement that the matter is
now in the highest court Of the state
the Court Of Impeachment sug-
gest to you is very Inaccurate. Inc
Court Of Impeachment will not con-
vene until September Is. The court IS
not TO determine who is to discharge
the duties Of Governor pending the trial
Of the charges presented 10 IT, ana oil
course could not, in any event deter
mine that question before II conVehes'
Whatever the result of the charges
against me may be, II is certain mat
future trouble and litigation will arise
growing out of your acts and NINE
and il was TO prevent as far as pos
sible such future trouble and to avoid
the spectacle OF two persons claiming
10 act as Governor of this great state
az the same time that l made the sug-
gestion that counsel for you and Tor
myself endeavOr 10 agree upon some
method of presenting the question as
70 who should act as Governor untii
the decision and determination Of the
G0dlEeS
the earliest possible moment, and that
We abide by the law as IT should be
determined by the courts, not by coun-
sci. and ] regret that my efforts IN

WILLIAM SULZER. Governor"
The Governor snent the entire daN IN
hA "a
chamber except for few trips to the
outer office. where he shook hands with
groups of visitors presented by local
friends. He remained at his office un-
iii almost o'clock this evening, con-
ferring with his counsel and going over
the case with ex-Judge Virgil X. Kel-
logg. of Watertown, who may later be
associated with the Sulzer defence.
Scores of tourists crowd the la"Ce
outer office Of the executive chamber,
and not few of them snapped kodak
pictures Of their friends posing in front
Of the large floral horseshoe that was
sent TO the Governor yesterday.
TeIearaphic Refreshment.
The Governor secretary gave out
to-day copies of more than one hun
bred kilograms of support and sympa-
thy received by Sulzer since the i'm
parchment vote last Wednesday morn
ing. Among them were messages from
Governor George II. Hunt, of Arizona;
Ion L. Ferris. Speaker Of the Florida
House Of Representatives; the Rev. G.
II. Parkhurst, Of New York; Thomas
Mott Osborne, and Charles F. Ratti-
gan, Of Auburn Mrs. Donald Mclean,

tor James Hamilton Lewis. of Illinois.
Glynn's newspaper. The Albany
Times Union" which has been using
news bureau stories only on the pres
ent situation, carried a headline over
one such story to-day, in which for the
first time the newspaper owner was
mentioned as Governor Glynn." While
the story was written by representa-
tive Of a news bureau not connected
with Glynn's paper, the headline which
designated him az Governor was writ
ten in the Office Of the newspaper by
one of Glyhus employees.
Editorially, however. the Glynn pa
per carefully refrained from mention
ing the subject about which all Albany
is talking, and in its desire TO escape
commenting on the dominant topic was
driven tonight u base its sole editorial
on the joys OF the life OF farmer
boy.
The continuance Of the practice in
stituted by Sulzer last Wednesday
night OF stationing two armed guards
at the doors of the Executive chamber
every night disclosed to-day that the
night watchman of the Capitol has
been prohibited from punching the time
register clock in the Governors office
He has always previously punched that
register once an hour and the Superin-
tendent Of Public Buildings, John Bowe.
has been inslstent on the regis
tering Of the watchmsns hourly rounds
OF the building since the fire OF year
ago In the present situation the Sui
ger camp will not even take a chance"
on the night Waterman, and the armed
guards have kept him out OF the Ex-
ecutive chamber.
Means Delay for Becker.
