WHITMAN ANGRY AT
 PETITION FRAUDS
Says He Will Prosecute Those
 Who Are Guilty

New York, Aug. 30.-Gov. Whit man announced yesterday he would insist upon 8 prompt prosecution of any one found guilty of any fraud in connection with his petition filed in the progressive primary. The gov ernor, who passed the day at the St. Regis cOnferring with political friends in this connection said:
 Of course I know nothing of the facts, but if it is found that there has been any violation of the criminal law in connection with the obtaining of any of the names on the petitions in behalf of any candidate, it is the duty of the district attorney of the county to proceed against the offenders. l have no reason to doubt that the dis trict attorney of Fulton county will perform his full duty. But in this case, as in any other I shall insist upon the enforcement of the law by proper authority"
 The governor left here last night for Albion, where he will speak to- day. He has been treasured by his friends that he has nothing to fear regarding the result in tbis state, so far as the election is concerned. The outcome Of the progressive primary IS somewhat in doubt. There are 46,- 900 enrolled progressives, but more than half of these are in this city The governor had a talk with George w. Perkins yesterday, and every ef- fort is to be made to get the New Y Ork city progressives to vote for the governor in the primary.
 From now on the Whitman cam paigners are to train their guns on Judge Seabury's record as an advo- cate of various political panaceas, it was learned. Commissioner F. J. H. Kracke, the governors campaign manager, in reference to the Seabury statement, said:
 Judge Seabury pleads for econ- omy, but it is only fair to ask him what kind he proposes to introduce. Does he mean the kind Glynn intro duced when he left the debt of the state to be paid by the succeeding He also speaks up for a. sinlplification of the tax laws. His manager, Melville Palliser, is president of the Single Tax associa- tion. Is ne going to advocate the tax? If so, the people should know it."
 It is the intention of the Whitman committee soon to issue a formal reply to the Seabury state meDt
