SULZER TO FILE CHARGES? It Is Said Today That the Impeached New York Executive Will Make a Fire Against Tammany, Boss Murphy and the Frawley Committee. ALBANY, Aug. 15. Sulzer will probably demand a grand jury investigation of his iinieacluiient. His friends make positive statements that Tammany used money and bought the four votes necessary for his Impeachment.

They also predict that some gentlemen mixed up in the conspiracy are headed straight for jail. Sulzer replied to Glynn's letter saying, "I decline to recognize you as acting governor and will not give possession of the office nor comply with any demands. I shall continue to discharge my duties because the legislature had no authority to impeach." ALBANY, Aug. 15. Lieuptenant Governor Martin Glynn's letter demanding possession of the executive offices was delivered to Governor Sulzer today at 11 o'clock.

The letter will be passed upon by Sulzer's lawyers and an answer given later. Both sides say they are anxious to get the question settled immediately as to whether Sulzer automatically loses the gubernatorial office by impeachment, but no plan for a test case has been agreed upon as yet. In the meanwhile there are two acting governors with a cloud over the actious of each. Sulzer continues to draw his salary until he is convicted. Members of the senate, while trying Sulzer, receive pay at the rate of $12,000 a year, the same as the judges of the court of appeals.

Private detectives swarm the city. Every public man is being watched and all of his movements reported to Sulzer or Glynn. All the police reserves are out, preventing street gatherings which might result iii fights. Sulzer's friends declare they could have forestalled impeachment proceedings if they had consented to relinquish the fight for certain reforms, but they refused. The impeachment followed as the inevitable result, they say.

MAY BRING CHARGES. It is rumored that Sulzer is planning criminal charges against Charles Murphy, Tammany boss, for conspiring to cause the downfall of the government, and also treason charges against the impeachment managers. "Aaron Levy, majority leader iu the assembly and Tammany man, was overcome today by the excitement and suffered a nervous prostration. Thomas W. Lawson, of Boston, noted financial writer, has offered Sulzer $100,000 to fight Tammany if he will permit Lawson to direct the campaign.

The secretary of state may announce today that he recognizes Martin Glynn as governor and will not obey the commands of Sulzer. Mrs. Sulzer is mu better today but. is still confined to her bed. It is said that Glynn may use force to get possession of the gubernatorial office and all official documents.

FLAYED "YELLOW" PAPERS. Exploitation of crimes by newspapers that use too much red ink and black type was assigned as one of the causes for the increase of crime by Judge Frank Sadler, of Chicago, judge of the juvenile court, in an address at the last night on "Criminals in the Making." Judge Sadler commended newspapers that do not misrepresent crime news, but said as he held up a well known Kansas City paper that is often accused of being "yellow," "This sort of newspaper helps to spread crime." Judge Sadler said he likes the liberty of the press but despises the license of the press. THE KIDS PERFORMED.
