hamlet saw Thaw and three other men
crouching low in the tonneau to escape

FROM a stan Correspondent OF The Tribune
Albany. Aug. 11.-Almost as soon as

Of Prisons. John &. Riley, and another

officials. de signed it as acting Gov
ernor."
After he had been made acquainted
with the details of Thaw's dash for
freedom. Mr.. Glynn said tonight:
II am going to demand a rigid in
vestigation Of this whole affair. II IS
serious matter and demands an I'M
mediate and thorough inquiry. Those
responsible for Thaw's escape will BE-
called to account
No Comment from SuIzer.

action. but ne had. no comment to MAKE

Superintendent Riley Of the state
Prison Department was at his home in
Plattsburg when he was Informed Of
Thaw's getaway over the telephone by
Dr. Kieb. The superintendent is eX-
pected in Albany tomorrow.
II is believed that Mr.. Glynn's III
Quiry will be used later as a basis for
an attempt 10 oust Riley. who has
been distasteful TO the Tammany lead
ers ever since Sulzer put him in Office
over their heads.
1t is then taken for granted here that
the conflict Of authority between the
two Governor" was counted upon by
those who planned Thaw escape as d
situation that would add TO the diff
culties Of reincarcerating him.
Thaw has had numerous opportuni-
ties before II was pointed out. TO make
q quick escape. notably a the time Of
the last hearing in White Plains, but
he was not ready to make the attempt
then. The present situation adds a
final touch to the complexities OF the
