CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY
Worst Political Foes Practically Con
cede His Election to the Legislature
Where the Former Governor Viii
Attempt to Land the Speakership.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 22.-What will
race for the legislature? This was
the question foremost in the minds OF
politicians around the capital.
1t was generally agreed that he will
make a great deal of trouble for the
organization in New York. His fire
will be directed especially against
Aaron j. Levy, who is a candidate for
municipal Judge, and Alfred b. Smith.
the speaker of the assembly, who
seeks to succeed himself.
Sulzer intends to invade their dis.
tricts and attempt to square accounts
with them for their active part taken
in his Impeachment. And, of course,
in that fight he will oppose the Demo
cratic organization candidates gener
ally.
Even Suffers worst political foes
practically Concede him victory in his
own assembly district They were
inclined to regard the withdrawal OF
the Republican candidate as a trick
intended TO damage the Democratic
party great deal at the cost of a
small concession. There was no doubt
expressed that the Republicans will
work for Sulzer in the hope that he
will repay them amply by his attacks
on Tammany Hall in case he reaches
the assembly.
Will Seen Speakership.
The question which caused the
greatest speculation, however, was
how many votes SulZer would be able
to swing for his speakership candidacy
in case of his election. The concensus
of opinion was that the next assem-
bly, probably will be distributed among
the three parties and If this predic
tion is true and Sulzer is able to mus
ter the undivided support of one fac
tion and few insurgents from other
quarters he would prove big factor
in the race. A majority of the as
sembly Is required to elect speaker
and only landslide for one party can
prevent q long deadlock If Sulzer wins
Sulzer himself does not admit that
he has deserted the Democratic party
by accepting the Progressive nomina
ton and the Republican endorsement
Il am nonpartisan candidate" he
declared, and | am fighting for a
principle instead of party"
The impeached governor confidet
to a frient that the opposition o.
Theodore Douglas Robinson to his
candidacy did not surprise him, bu
he thought If Colonel Roosevelt were

ecutive of New York state. pending the
outcome of the impeachment proceedings
against Gov. Sulzer. according to an off
eialS opinion rendered today by Attor-

tary of State Mitchell May. Mr.. Carmo-
dy holds that the Assembly was within
its rights in instituting impeachment pro-
ceedings at an extraordinary session.
when the Governor is impeached by
the Assembly, says the opinion. "all
of his powers are automatically suspend
ed until he has been acquitted or the inn
parchment proceedings dismissed by the
court of impeachment. In the meantime,
the lieutenant governor acts as Governor.
This is the plain intent of the constitu-
ton, Any other construction would null
lily its express provision
With reference to the authority of the
Assembly to initiate impeachment pro-
ceedings, the attorney general says
ct is my opinion taat if the Assembly
WAS not assembled, either in eXtraord.na-
ry or regular session, it might assemble
itself and proceed to the discharge of it's
powers in this regard. Otherwise the
Governor of the state could prevent the

Two notes from Mexico have been
sent to Washington. The first was a
reply to that delivered by Mr.. Lind
This note included the demand for
recognition of Mexico.
The second note WAS sent direct to
Washington and demanded that re

before midnight. This is regarded
here as an ultimatum.
One official in discussing this latter
note said that Mexico had reached

defiance. The first contingency, he
said, was regarded as Impossible.
