Anti-Whitman Petitions
Circulated in Albany
[By Telegraph TO Tie Tnbul

Albany. Aug. 15.-The movement TO
defeat Governor Whitman and William
NJ. Calder at the Republican primaries
took form here to-day when petitions
were circulated among the organization
men for all the Republican state can
didates except Governor and United
States Senator.
The petitions carried no names for
those Offices, but will be filled in when
the anti-Whitman men agree on can
didates.
Governor Whitman was reluctant to
discuss reports that Theodore Roosevelt
and William Barnes would support
Robert Bacon for Senator and Harvey
d. Human for Governor. He was told
of the conferences in New York this af-
ternoon.
"My petition has been circulated
throughout the state" said he, land
already have more than enough sigma
lures. AS for the primary, that is an
open fight"
Persons close to the Governor say he
is skeptcal about the report that Roose-
welt is for Bacon.
There is no doubt about Barnes being
for Bacon and Human, and 1t is said
that the word has already been passed
TO the Republican leaders here. In spite
of the enmity between Roosevelt and
Barnes little surprise was expressed
among the Republicans when they heard
the two were supporting the same can
didatps
