WHITMAN BILLS UP AGAIN
Division in Saratoga Re
serves Decision.

Saratoga, y. Y, Sept 14.-An appeal
by State Controller Travis from n de-
cision by Justice Hasbrouck, of the Su-
preme Court, requiring him to audit
the bills Of the New York State Pan
ama-Pacifc Exposition Commission,
was argued here to-day before the APP
pellate Division of the Supreme Coprt.
The proceeding concerned only the
legal question as TO whether the power
of auditing these bills is possessed by
the Controller. or if. on the contrary,
the Legislature, in creating the com
mission, vested in il the sole power of
directing the expenditure of the S70O %
900 appropriation made by the state,
with the Controller accordingly with
out power except TO pay the bills
The latter argument was set forth by
Wilbur W. Chambers, Deputy Attorney
General. who represented the Con-
trollsr.
This court reseryed decision.

Colonel Declines to Help
ANY One Linked with
Wilson.
WHITMAN'S NAME
OMITTED BY M'GRATH
Adherents of the Governor
Seize Announcement as
Favorable to Him.

Colonel Roosevelt yesterday author
lied his former secretary, John Nc
Grath, to say that the Colonel IS not
supporting Judge Samuel Sesbury in
the Progressive primaries for the NOM
ination for Governor. The Colonel de-
clared it would be national calamity
TO assist in any way toward the re-
election of President Wilson, and, as
the support of Seabury would have that
effect, he would have nothing TO do
with the judges cause in the primaries.
Mr.. McGrath avoided using the name
of Governor Whitman in the statement.
The Whitman campaign managers, now
ever. were eager and ready to overlook
the omission and claim the support OF
the Colonel for their candidate. The
Colonel's statement, coupled with a let
ter sent yesterday by George W. Per
kins to the enrolled Progressives OF the
state. declaring he ~as for Whitman
in the Progressive primaries and urg-
ing the Bull Moosers to vote for him,
elated the Whitman adherents.
Emissaries of Governor Whitman
have been working hard for the last
few days to patch up the long-standing
differences between Colonel Roosevelt
and the Governor, or at least to make
il appear from surface indications that
the breach was healed. They pointed
Yesterday TO the Roosevelt statement
as the reward for their work.
McGrath's Statement.
The statement issued by McGrath fol-
lows:
Colonel Roosevelt has expressly au-
tborized me to say that he IS not sup
porting Judge Seabury in the Progress
sive primaries. On the contrary, MT
Roosevelt has stated explicitly TO the
Progressives who have asked him TO
support Judge Seabury that he would
not do so. because Mf. Seabury is sup
porting Mr.. Wilson and is running on
the same ticket with Mr.. Wilson, and
therefore doing all in his power to
bring about the reelection Of Nr. Will
son.
"Mr. Roosevelt would regard this as
a disastrous calamity to the country,
and he. therefore, believes that no
Progressive should support Mr.. sea
bury in the Progressive primaries next
Tuesday"
Some Of the politicians were in
clined to see another sacrifice IN
the stand of Colonel Roosevelt against
Judge Seabury. They were Of the
opinion that his action was prompted
for the good Of the national ticket
without much serious regard for the
state situation, except as it would al
feet the chances Of Mr.. Hughes. They
interpreted his statement as at least
leaving him con the fence" in regard
10 his approval Of Governor Whitman
candidacy. 1t showed his indifference
to that extent.

A postal card canvass Of the enrolled
Progressives Of greater New York re-
Gently showed more than rs per cent
of those answering were for Hughes,
Mr. Perkins said, and he did not be-
lieve any Progressive who was for
Hughes would wish to do anything that
would affect his candidacy disadvanta-
geously.
While in town yesterday Colonel
Roosevelt conferred with Perkins and
several other Of the active men about
Republican national headquarters. His
statement as 10 the Progressive pri-
maries was said to be the result of
these conferences.
William A. Orr, Governor Whitman's
secretary, saw Mr.. Perkins and Mr.
McGrath prior TO the issuing Of the
Colonel's statement Il was understood
Mr.. Perkins had promised the Whitman
men to lend his assistance in the drive
being made TO have Governor Whitman
win in the Progressive primaries. They
were doubly anxious TO get Colonel
Roosevelt squarely on record as sup
porting the Governor.

Warning by Perkins.

In his letter TO the enrolled Pro-
gressives Mr.. Perkins said he was for
Whitman in the primaries for two
reasons: First, because the nomina-
ton Of Judge Seabury by Tammany
Hall would mean a return Of the Tam
many power at Albany, can alternative
too repugnant TO be tolerated.
Second because, as Colonel Roose-
welt pointed out, 10 help Seabury was
TO help Wilson. Mr. Perkins also de-
clarod he was familiar with Governor
Whitman'S record and believed it to
be one that entitled him to the Pro
greSsive support.
Justice Seabury has entered the
Progressive primaries against Mr..
Whitman on the theory that his own
personal record is the test that voters
should apply to mis- candidacy" wrote
Mr. Perkins. 81 cannot believe that
is the test, for he is Tammanys nom
inee. Remember that he is running,
not as an enrolled Progressive, but
as an enrolled Democrat nominated
by Tammany Hall.
"If Judge Seabury, as Governor
should fight Tammany, we would have
another chaos such as Suffers def
ance Of Tammany produced. If he &C
quiesced, however reluctantly, in Tam
many's control we would have another
decentralization, as in the administra-
tiOns of Dix and Glynn"

POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF
 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
Said That Gov. hoIcomb May Rs Obliged 10 Appoint Democrat.

There has been a development in the political complexion of the per- sonnet of the state civil service com mission which may have an impod- tant effect on the administration of the law.
 Commissioner John C.. Brinsmade, who, when he was appointed on the commission by Governor Baldwin under the first law of 1918. was progressive in politics, has an- nounced that he has gone back to the republican party, will take part in republican caucuses this year and support the republican national ticket. His return to the republican fold increases the number of repub- lican members to four. while the law says that no more than thre mem bers of the commission shall be members of the same political party
 The term of Commissioner Graham F. Thompson of New Haven, a re- publican, will expire September 1, but owing to the change which has taken place in the party afiiliations of MT Brinsmade the retirement of Mr. Thompson would keep the rep resentation of the republican party Iup to the legal limit of three.
 It is held that Governor Holcomb will be obliged to appoint demo-
 crat to succeed MT. Thompson if he makes any appointment at all. If he
 selects a democrat of the type of the president of the board, MT. Morris. or MT. Phelps of Andover, who was one of the first commissioners but who is not now a member, there may be a decided change in the policy of the board Mr. Brinsmade l is strong civil service reformer, and so is President Morris, and neither Is a believer in the policy of liberal exemptions of departments
 or positions from thes operation of the law. If no successor is appointed to MT Thompson the board will
 stand three republicans to one dem-
 ocrat, but one of the republicans, l MT. Brinsmade is known to be more 1 in sympathy with the views of ad- lninstratfon held by his democratic colleague than with those of the other two republican members.
