WHITMAN TO GET
AID OF LEAGUERS
Seabury Should Have Re-
manned on Bench,
They Declare.

James A. Donegan, state chairman Of
the Independence League, announcer
yesterday that the league would sup
port Governor Whitman for reelection
in preference to Judge Samuel Sea-
bury, the Democratic candidate.
The executive members of the league
also Endorsed Lieutenant Governoc hd-
ward Schoeneck, Francis NJ. Hugo, Sec
rotary of State, and James i. Wells,
State Treasurer, Of Governor Whit
mans administration, for reelection.
They indorsed Charles |. Fleck, of The
Bronx, for State Controller; William
A. De Ford, former Assistant District
Attorney, for Attorney General, and Z.
Platt Stratton, of Queens, who was in
dorsed by the Progressives, for State
Engineer and Surveyor.
The rest of the state ticket Endorsed
by the league included cambridge
Colby for United States Senator, and
Almet F. jerks for Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals. There were also
Progressive designations, John 7. Nor
ton, of Rensselaer, County, being APP
proved for Associate Judge of the Court
of Appeals, and Vernon NJ. Davis, Rob-
ort l.. Bruce and James A. Donegan for
the Supreme Court in this district.
Justice Davis has been designated by

icnated by the league for the Court OF

The independence League polled IT.
900 votes for Judge Seabury when he
was their candidate for the Court OF
Appeals in 1914. Mr.. Donegan, IN an
nouncng the action of the league, said:
"The policy of the Independence
League since its inception has been to
put bad men out of Office and to keep
good men in Office. Governor Whitman
has made a good Governor. He should
be rewarded By another term. Judge
Seabury has made a good judge, but
he has been on the Court of Appeals
bench for only little over a year. The
work of that court needs the diligent
attention of its members, and we be,
lieve Judge Seabury would have served
the people best by continuing in the
Office which he sought in 1914 and TO
which the people elected him for term
of fourteen years"

tai Relief without expanding any OF
the money for that purpose. The
other two indictments we're based or
the testimony of Daniel Guggenheim's

helm contributed 500 to the commits
sion on Baylis's representations that
a ship was ready to take money and
supplies direct to France. Mrs. Edith
F. Ranger, an employe of Baylis, told
the grand jury that Baylis admitted
to her that his representation was only
slight bit of deception" necessary
for the success of the work.

chant, testified he contributed 500 on
the strength of .lrs. Rangers repre-
sensations about the ship.
Adolph Kallman, publicity man fol
the commission, testified he got So per

in. He also charged that Baylis de-
manded 25 per cent of his SIS per cent
commission and produced a letter
signed by Baylis in which the latter
asked him for $50 as his commission
on one contribution. Baylis had a
salary of 800 a week. He told Mr.
Swami that the moneys raised since
