"the papers were SO contradictory as
to make it apparent that there was

Down from the Hotel Aston, where
the visitors will stay while in our city,
came two immaculate gentlemen, whose
announcement that they were the eX-

exchange, which isn't usual, you know.
Mr.. Bjornsson, who sits in the lee

or so later the Colonel wrote SulZer
reminding him that John McGrath, ms
private secretary, was present at the
Interview and not only did he not say
that nc would preserve neutrality, put
he had distinctly told him he was not
the sort of man he could support
under any circumstances.
Copies of this letter are ready at

will be made public the instant that
Sulzer says anything more about ncu-
trality.
In the Sulzcr statement yesterday 1t

part of the self-dppointcd little bosses
who had the audacity TO name full

consent of any one in the paTty except
themselves"
II was asserted that Sulzer would win

cans to Judge Him
on His Record.

Five more Assembly Districts, in
which District Attorney Whitman spoke
last night, passed resolutions indorsing
his candidacy for the primary nomlna-
ton for Governor. The Republican or
CARNATIONS in twenty-one districts
have now gone on record to that ef-
feet, and the Whitman campaign man
ayers contend that it was merely
foregone conclusion that they would
get the majority Of the remaining ten
districts in the city.
Mr.. Whitman was accompanied on his
speaking tour by Fredeick {. Tenner,
his campaign manager; Samuel >.
Koenig, chairman of the Republican
County Committee, and John Boyle,
secretary Of the Whitman campaign
committee. He made it point TO say
that the primary campaign was friend
ly as among the Republican candidates,
and he earnestly called upon all his
audiences TO support the Republican
nominee, whoever he might be. lie

the nomination.
Tho District Attorney spoke first at
the regular Republican organization
headquarters in the 10Th Assembly Dis
trict. at 1863 West 117th st. Alderman
trict, introduced him as the next Gov
crnor." Mr.. Whitman asked the Re-
publicans to judge him squarely by his
record in the public Offices he has held,
and TO vote for him again If they be-
lieved him still as worthy OF holding
the higher Office as they had shown
they believed him to be when they
elected him District Attorney.
The second stop was made at the
2lst Assembly District Republican
Club, at POI West both st. The club
room was crowded. The District At
torney asserted, with the Characteristic
pugnacity which he displays when try
ing cases in the criminal courts, that
the time had come for the Republican
party to put down Democratic misrule
in the state and that the party was
out to do it this fall, whoever its can
didate might be,
The other meetings were in the 3Oth

23d District, as "uniit' for the office.
Haskell, who is the Republican leader
of the district, was chosen as the Re-
publican candidate in the 10th Con-

obtained the Bull Moose Endorsement
when William Watson, Progressive,
refused to run.
Colonel RooSevelt'S attack was
made in a letter written by him to
