the governorship without waiting for the legislature to meet, next Tuesday, and to force MT. Sulzer to begin pro- ceed1ngs thereafter. An interviewer mentioned the report to Governor Sul- ger.
 All right" he replied "1t doesn't make any difference which side makes the test so long as test case is brought
 Senator Wagner, president pro-ten- pore of the Senate, sent, today. a for maj notification of the Senate's re- celpt Of the articles fmpeaching Gov ernor Sulzer to Edgar M. Cullen, chief Judge Of the court of appeals.
 Lieut. Governor Glynn did not re- main long in his chambers but left shortly before luncheon for his office at the Times-Union, the newspaper of which he is proprietor.
 The complex machinery of the state government, over which both William sulzer and Martin H. GIynn are strug- gHng to see which one shall be thrown out of office, faced a complicated tangle, today.
 Heads of many departments were divided into two groups. One of these groups. under the leadership of Sul- ger, adhered to his contention that his impeachment, yesterday. was un- constitutional and pfepared to con tinue their obedience to his instruc-. lions. as if there had been no inn .peachment. The other, holding that he ceased to be governor when the Senate received the articles of impeachment, was ma rshalIed under the standard of Glynn, ready to carry out his or ders and to ignore any which the i'm peached governor might zee fit to ts- sue.
 Never in the history of the state has it's army of employees been more demor-l alized. Nor does the panic affect only the internal affairs of New York It extends to the states relations with other commonwea1ths which, unless the issue is3speedily settled, will short 1y find themselves in the perplexfng situation of deciding for themselves who is governor of New York.
 An instance of this situation was revealed in the announced intention of both Glynn and Sulzer to sign requi- sition papers for prisoners held in the name of New York beyond it's bor7 ders.
 Leaders of the two factions expect no settlement of the problem till afetr the meeting of the legislature, next Tuesday, at noon. Then, they be- lieve the issue will be square1y joined and ready for submission to the courts by the legislatures formal recognition of Lieut.. Gov. G1ynn as acting gov ernor.
 Reports today, were that such recog-1 milton would be granted y the Senate by confirming the appointment by Cox. Glynn of a state labor, commissioners. Abram l. Elkus, of New York city, was said to be the man favored by Mr. Glynn for the office.
 The great seal of the state of New York was still in the possession, Shis standing the claim of his opponents that it legally passed out of his keep ing and into the custody of the lieu tenant governor when the Senate re- ceived the articles Of impeachment yesterday. MT. SuIzer still occupied the executive mansion.
 Although MT. Sulzer and his coun- seI-a group with a wide reputation as lawyers of abi1ity-p1anned to ig- nore the impeachment formally for the time being on the ground that it was unconstitutional, the governor will court of Impeachment which meets Thursday, September IS. At this meet ing, it is expected preparations will be made to begin the trial on the fol- lowing Monday, September 22. The governors wife, star witness for the defense, lay seriously i'll in a state of collapse at the executive mansion, this forenoon. To friends who visit ed her bedside, yesterday, she declared hysterically that she alone was to blame for bringing to her husband the mountain of trouble he faces. A specialist on nervous disorders, sum moned by wire from New York city, l last night, is in constant attendance upon her.
 Her illness has affected the gover- nor deeply. When he learned the ser ious nature of her aiIment, last night, | he declared he would never permit her to take the witness stand at his trial. Friends expect to- dissuade him from this, however. should her eondi- ton improve sufficiently, as they be-
 
 materially strengthened when she tells | her story to the court
 f In the opinion of some of the gover- | nors friends. the court of iupeach- | ment will never sit in Judgment on his case and Mrs. SuIzer will be saved the ordeal of examina ton at the hands of counsel for political interests hos tile to her husband.
 Mrs suIzer, far from acting with intent to do wrong, was entirely un- conscious of the gravity of her of fense when she bought stocks with a asserted a close friend of the Sulzer family, today .'On the contrary, she thought she was doing a sensible thing. Her husband was involved in debt when he began his campaign for the governorehip. He had saved nothing during the years he was a representative at Washing ton He is not business man and his wife thought she was entirely within her rights in providing for the future by putting away something for. a rainy day, even without his Knowledge
 The governors friends base their be- lief that the court of impeachment will never convene to trS his case on the tentative plan of his counsel to have the courts review the constitu- tionality Of the impeachment proceed Ings prior to September IS. This re- view, they assert, probably will be started by mandamus proceedings to compel obedience to his instructions by the first department head who re- fuses to recognize him as governor. (iad
