They fear the District Attorneys early
nomination by the P.ogressivcs for Cow
ernor and his forced Endorsement by the
Republicans later, Whether or not Gov.
Clynn takes this view Of next fails po-
litical situation can he judged only by
GOV. Glynn's attitude and his statements
of yesterday making il appear that Dis
tict Attorney Whitman not only initiated
the idea of his appointment as n deputy
Attorney General, but that the Dstric,
Attorney for political reasons was trying
to put the Governor in a hole.
While Gov. Glynn insisted tonight he
had no quarrel with District Attorney
Whitman. the Governors comments in
dicated that he was much wrought up
over the Whitman controversy.
"Mr Whitman says that he will force
an investigation by the Republican As
semby," he said. "lf he wants to do that
let him go ahead. for I have said IL he
has any evidence OF wrongdoing outside
his own county. it should he turned over
to the District Attorneys of the proper
counties.
"Mr Whitman need not think that I
want this information or that l want
Attorney General Carmody to have IT, II
he wants to play politics let him 20 ahead
and get the Republican District Attor-
neys of the State to prosecute these men.
There aren't over two or three Demo
cratic District Attorneys in the State any
way.

Of veracity between Mr.. Whitman and
Mr.. Osborne. have Mr.. Osbornc's story
and ! have Mr.. Rubino's story and. more
than that. have two letters from Su-
themselves. That is all the proof | need
to show that Mr.. Whitman deliberately
went after something he must have known
as a lawyer he could not get"
"But." it was suggested to Gov, Glynn,
District Attorney Whitman merely wanted
you to designate him as a special deputy
torney-Generai. Independent of his
powers as District Attorney Of New York
county, which would permit him to follow
up his graft leads in other counties with
out delay

are entitled TO District Attorney Whit

And we know that you are happy
Though the parting grleves US now.
| As we put away your little clothes
And lay aside your toys
We know that you are happy
With fuller, greater joys.
For we know that you are singing
With a harp in your tiny hand,
And that our little Gordon,
Has joined the angel band.
And in thought we hear the echo
Jesus Lover of My Sou"

| Ere the waters swift did roll.
Yes we know you are in heaven,
| Never more TO suffer pain,
| AndWe'll try at last to meet you

comes an occasion of separation. After

has steadily been reduced.
The best record at present stands
al 80 days, 10 hours, 43 minutes,
made by Andre Jaeger-Schmidt. a
newspaper man and also Frenchman
who travelled 1882 miles in doing it,
An attempt is now being made to
break this record. At 12.43 o'clock
on the morning of Wednesday, July
2, 1913. John Henry Mears, for many
years past manager for John Drew,
the noted actor, started on tour
around the world from New York
that, should his plans work out, will
land him in that city on his return, in
S5 days, 81 hours, 35 minutes. In
this trip Mr.. Mears represents the
New York Sun, and the first ''leg''
of his journey is across the Atlantic
on the Mauretania.
The start was made under obstac-
les A heavy street traffic of market
wagons, Notwithstanding the hour,
and a drunken sailor impeded pro-
gress to the boat. Finally police
officer stopped the auto in which
Mears was racing for the steamer.
