WIFE OF BECKER is THERE
Governor viii Grant Her an
Audience upon His Return
From Soldiers Camp.

ALBANY, July Ex-Governor Whit
man and Major Moore, his military
secretary, left Albany this morning for
Camp Whitman, near Fishkill. to re-
view the state troops. Before leav-
ing Governor Whitman received tel
egram from Mrs. Becker, asking for an
interview. He replied that he was
compelled to leave Albany but would
receive Mrs. Becker on his return
which will be about $50 this evening
Mrs. Becker arrived here at 1880
o'clock. She was accompanied by
John B. Johnson, of Becker's counsel.
Mrs. Becker did not learn until after
her arrival of the governors depar-
ture from the city. She said her plans
were uncertain.
Shortly before Mrs. Becker's arrival
the public entrance to the executive
chamber in the capitol was closed and
a plain clothes man placed on guard.
An unconfirmed rumor said the au-
thorities had learned that some New
York gunner had arrived in Albany.
Another report was that the governor
would return to Albany early in the
afternoon and would receive Mrs.
Becker Immediately on his return.
After conversing with William Orr,
Governor Whitman's private secretary,
over the telephone, Mrs. Becker and
Attorney Johnson went to hotel.
Secretary Orr put in a long distance
call for Governor Whitman. He in
tended asking him to meet Mrs. Beck
er at FishlSill, where the governor ex-
pected to be at 1 O'Clock.
In no quarters, Is it believed, that q
plea for mercy would change the ex-
ecutive's attitude. He is very positive
regarding Backer's guilt. The fact
which became public after Justice
Ford handed down his decision, that
Becker had offered to plead guilty of
second degree murder convinced the
governor OF his belief. based on the
evidence that no injustice will be done
in executing the former lieutenant.
AS a result of worry over the Becker
case the governor is said to be nearly
exhausted. He had followed every
move as closely as any of the attor-
neys and his appearance shows plain
ly the effects of his hours of study and
worry

LONDON. July 29.-Except from
Sokal, Galicfa, where the Russians
claim by a counter offensive to have
thrown back the Austro-Hungari
across the Dniester river, little de-
finite news reached London today
from the eastern battlefield. To the
east of the Narew river the extent
of the German advance from Rozan
is marked by the capture of the vii
lage of Goworowe. which lies only
six miles from the river.
The exact status of the operations
on the eastern front is proving a
puzzle to students of the Warsaw
campaign even Petrograd being IN
certain whether the vast operations
between the Bug and the Vistula rtv-
ers marks the crisis of the battle
or only a pause to allow one side or
the other to draw breath or rear
range its forces.
Along the western front compare
tive quiet prevails with Berlin claim
ing and Paris admitting the reoc-
cupatIon of trenches in the Souchez
section.
I Rome explains the luIl along the
IsonZe river front on the ground that
the Italians are engaged in organic
ing and securing the positions which
they won on the Carso plateau, but
Vienna claims the lack of activity
which means the termination of the
Italian attack. after successful
Austro-Hung artan defense along the
whole chosen battle line.
German submarine warfare. which
ragged around the Orkney islands at
the end of last week, presumably
against trade with the only Russian
mort. Archangel, has been transferred
to the northeast of Suffolk, where
several neutral as well as British
ships have fallen victims to the IN
dersea commerce raiders.
The situation nthe near East re-
mains apparently unchanged so far
as any departure from neutrality Is
concerned, but the entente allies are
already showing considerable irrita-
ton over Bulgaria's successful nego-
+iations with Turkey and they soon
nav transfer their dfspleasure 10
Ronnmania, which is reported to be
ready to lift the embargo on the eN-
mort of grain thereby supplying the
central powers with huge accession
of food supplies.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The sole
hope of saving Charles Becker from

Sing prison tomorrow morning lies in
Governor Whitman. Counsel for
Becker announced today that they
had abandoned the idea of appealing
to Judge Hogan, of the court of ap-
peaIs at Syracuse, for stay Of exc

The attorneys added that the onSy
course remaining open Tor them 20
pursue was to appeal to the governor
to reprieve Becker until October when
the court of appeals reconvenes.
Should the governor grant such

would enter an appeal from the decis-

who last night declined to grant
