TWO SIDES CLAIM
PERKINS BACKING
Whitman and Seabury
Camps Both Confident
of Moose Support.

Some one is getting fooled concern
inc the delivery of the Progressive vote
in the state primaries next Iuesday'
and the chances are it is not Governor
Whitman. Either that is so or else
George W. Perkins has entered 'he
campaign in the role OF Joiiler'
Whitman says he has been satisiied
bv Perkins that the Progressives VIII
limo I'D for him through Perkins's In
auence and the Seabury managers say
they have assurance that the Moose
leader is taking no active part In the
primary fight. Where they received
this assurance they did not say.
"How about the statement that Per-
kins has promised Whitman to deliver
the Progressive vote to him next Tues
dav?" Seabury's managers were asked
yesterday.
1--WE don't believe he ever made such
a promise" was the reply.
About the time this conversation was
taking place Perkins was closeted with
William Orr, secretary TO Governor
Whitman; Samuel S. Koenig, New YORK
County president; Frederick {. Tan
rer, state chairman, and George W.
Aldrich. Whitman's upstate leader, at
rational headquarters and Chairman
Wilcox, going over the Moose situation
in the state.
The Seabury managers are more than
anxious to obtain the Progressive IN
dorsement to take away the Tammany
stigma from their candidate. Seabury
is openly charged with being Mnrphy's
man. If he fails at the Moose primar-
les next Tuesday he will have to run
as Tammany's candidate.

PRESS REPORTS
ANNOY HUGHES
Candidate Vigorous in
Comment on Stories
of His Tour.

Charles f. Hughes thinks certain
newspapers in the East failed to treat
his Western tour with sufficient cor
diality. That is the one aspect of the
trip lust completed that jars the Re
publican candidate. He would not dis
cuss his feelings for publication yes
terday, but he was decidedly frank
about it to Some Of his callers at the
Hotel Astor.
To his intimates, Mr.. Hughes con-
fded the statement that his eyes had
been opened to the tremendous power
of the Eastern press to be welded for
or against a man in his position. One
of those who talked with the candidate
on this topic reported that Mr.. Hughes
termed some of the accounts OF his
tour contemplate, despicable and de-
plorable."
This sentiment of the candidate,
shared by some of the campaign man
ayers who watched the tour from ma
tional headquarters, was determined
largely by a comparison OF the East
ern press accounts and the reports in
papers out West. Senator Reed Smoot,
of Utah, told Tribune reporter the
accounts in papers in the towns and
cities where the Hughes train stopped
recited great ovations and enthusiasm.
That the Hughes trip did make an
impression was proved by the Maine
result, so Republican leaders say.
One of the Democratic campaign
committee told the Tribune correspond
ent in Washington the Administration
was highly pleased with the fact that
the Presidents negotiations with the
railroads and four train service broth
erhoods had crowded Mr.. Hughes Off
the front pages of most of the coun-
try's newspapers.

enthusiasm about the Hughes trip.
Hundreds of men went in special

Lorimer Behind in Race
for Congress Nomination
Thompson INDICATED.
by Telegraph 70 The Tribune J

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Record-breaking
pluralities for the Governorship nomi-
nations were rolled up to-day in the
primaries by former Congressman
Frank o. Lowdcn, Republican, of Ore
gon, H., and Governor Dunno, in the
Democratic fight.
DUNES plurality over William Is.
Brinton, the Dixon ploughmaker, VINO
had the eleventh hour support Of the
strong Roger Sullivan faction and the
regular Cook County Democratic or
ganization, may reach 100000.
Colonel Lowden's plurality in the
three-cornerd battle against Colonel
Frank L. Smith and Senator Morton d..
Hull is estimated at more than 100000
In the minor state Offices the Sullivan
faction appears to have put over its
slate, including Henry W. Huffman Tor
Lieutenant Governor, over Barratt
O'Hara.
Big Chicago Pluralities.
Indications are Lowden carried Chi
cago by more than 10000 over Hull, the
second man, and DUNES figures in the
city were 10000 over Brinton.
Representative James r. Mann, Re-
publican House leader, has been re-
nominated by large majority over the
Rev. Melbourne p. Boynton, a minis
ter interested il the reform movement
who was backed by the anti-saloon
forces. George II. Wilson, the dry
candidate on the Hull slate, also made
a poor showing.
William Lorimer, former Represent
Senator, and Arthur W. Fulton
are running close race for the Re
publication nomination in the 9th Con-
gress District, from which Lorimer
served several terms in the House.
Fulton has a lead Of 1855 votes, with
only half of the district in.
Early estimates apparently assure
the nominations of William Else Will
Jams, of Pittsfeld, ILL.,, and Everett Jen-
nings. of Chicago, for Democratic Con-
gresham at-large.
Mason Running Strong.
Pluralities for these Offices on the
Republican slate are being rolled up
down state by former Senator William
f. Mason and Burnett NJ. Chipperheld,
both of Chicago.
The race for the Attorney General
ship nominations, which attracted al
most as much attention as that for
Governor, still is in doubt on the Re-
publican slate, Edward j. Brundage, Of
Chicago, claiming a plurality Of $4,000
here, and Richard J. Barr, of Joliet,
claiming a $4,000 plurality outside Of
Cook County.
The Republican county nominations
in Chicago were won by the City Hall
organization forces, the Lowden-Thomp
son faction, and by the Roger c. Sui
livan slate in the Democratic party.
