WHITMAN LEADING
IN PRIMARY RACE
Official Figures Put Him Ahead
in Delegates Contest.
from a stan Correspondent OF The Thlunsl


Albany. April Friends of Gov
ernor Whitman who hope to see him
reelected next fall are elated over the
official returns from last Tuesday
primary election, which are beginning
10 arrive in the Secretary OF state
Office. They indicate that the Gov
ernor ran ahead of the other three
candidates for delegates-at-large to the
Republican National Convention IN
nearly all the upstate counties.
Albany. the stronghold of William
Barnes. is the only county so lar
heard from in which the Governor ran
last Wadsworth led with 6,367 votes;
Brown was second with 6.S35; Tanner
third. with 6.2g6, and Whitman got
only 5.S8S votes. Barnes has been IN
friendly to Whitman ever since he was
elected. and il is believed here that
the Governor was deliberately cut IN
this county.
In ten other counties heard from,
with the exception Of Jefferson, the
Governor was ahead. In Jefferson he
ran only two behind Wadsworth, who
led the four In Monroe County, the
bailiwick Of George W. Aldridge, who
is said to be Governor Whitman's
political mentor, the Governor ran two
ahead of Wadsworth, while Tanner was
third. and Brown fourth. In Renssel-
aer County the Governor ran ISL votes
ahead Of Wadsworth, the second high
man.
Governor Whitman led in Essex. On
tario. Putnam, Schoharie, Cortland and
Tompkins, while in Yates he was only
one behind Wadsworth and Brown,
who were tied for first place. in the
aggregate vote Of these seven counties,
Wadsworth was second. running lOt
votes behind Whitman; Brown was
third. and Tanner fourth.

Barnes supporters looked for strong
support among the BROOM members
OF the state Committee. Jacob A. Liv-

working hard FOR them. But according
to Bridge Commissioner +. J. II. Kracke

Believe Size
Of New American
Submarines Is
Right to Defend

New York, Nov. 17.-Submarine oper-
atoms by the belligerent nations have
shown America that the size and type
of the coast defense underwater boat
of about 500 tons now favored by the
navy apartment seems the logical one
for American use according to Captain
w L Rodgers, U S N, former president
of the navy war college.
Abiding to the S30-tons submarine
employed by Germany for operations
on a large radius, Capt. Rodgers de-
clarcd there's was every reason to be-
neve that much smaller ones are used
in the protection of the German coasts.
The United States geographic situa-
ton, he said, made it seem undesirable
for her to establish defensive subma-
rine Gordon in mid-ocean.
The enemy has no objective there
and will not wait there" he added. IF
he is attacked in that neighborhood by
submarines he has the advantage of
full opportunity to maneu.er freely at
high speed. On the other hand, our sub
marines will gain if they are used for
local coast defense and do not go far
off shore-say rot more than a days
run. They may well expect to maintain
a strip Of coastal waters fairly free
from the enemy and available for nav
isatiton as do the English at the pres
ent time"

INTEREST IN
FOOTBALL TODAY
CENTERS ABOUT
YALE-PRINCET0N

New York, Nov. 17.-Chief interest
throughout football circles will center
tomorrow on the outcome of the Yale
Princeton game although many other
contests are scheduled which promise
to develop close and high class grid
iron play. Harvard will meet Brown,
Syracuse faces Colgate, Cornell tackles
the Massachusetts "Aggies." Army lines
up againts Springfield; Pittsburg plays
Carnegie Tech and Navy will enter
tain Villa Nova.
=, Many of these games are the special
struggles for which the elevens have
been pointed through the season.
This is especially true of the Yale
Princeton game, one of the oldest grid
iron classics Of the country. Both teams
will hold nothing in reserve when they
meet in the Palmer Memorial Stadium
at Princeton.
No championship is involved. as both
Princeton and Yale have been defeated
this season.
Princeton enters the game with a
veteran combination which has not had
its goal line crossed to date and with
only the to 0 defeat by Harvard to
mar it's record. Yale lost to Brown a
week ago. this being the only contest
which the Blue has not won, but the
showing Of the New Haven combina-
ton has not been as impressive as that
of the Tigers. The Eli eleven has been
playing erratic fotball showing flashes
OF both offensive and defensive
strength only to drop back again into
uncertain and inconsistent play
