No Change in Situation,
Whitman Sure to Win,
Says Chairman Cocks

"There is no change in the primary
situation and no change is desired by
the friends of Governor Whitman, as
the Governor stands to carry every
county in the state, with the sole ex-
ception of Albany County" said Chair
man w. w. Cocks of the Whitman
Campaign Committee yesterday. This
prediction may sound little
monotonous, but it is no more mo-
notonous to US than the steady adj
vance of the Allies against the Prus-
SLAMS on the Western front, and the
friends of the Governor like this kind
of sameness. But I do not mean by
that that our opponents are like the
Prussians. l am merely speaking of
sameness.
1.-THE campaign of personal attack
emanating from the Lewis headquarters
has reacted in the Governors favor.
Attacks upon the Governor inspired by
William Barnes will not influence any
great body of Republicans in this state.
in view of the fact that the administra-
ton Of Governor Whitman for the last
four years has been an open book. Re-
ports from all over the state indicate
enthusiastic support of the Governor
in the primaries. Candidates for the
Legislature with few exceptions stand
with the Governor because of his rec
ord. This support insures his renomi-
nation in the primaries tomorrow"

work or Fight to
Limit" Message of
Cardinal Gibbons

All men exempted from actual fight
ing, particularly coal miners, are urged
to their highest powers of production
toward winning the war in a letter
written by Cardinal Gibbons to Fuel
Administrator Garfield, made public
yesterday.
II have read with great Pleasure the
proclamation of the President of the
United States with regard to the fuel
situation" he wrote. "Like a great
many other Americans, l have been
much alarmed at the outlook for next
winter. 1t is to be hoped hat those
whose business it is to get coal out of
the earth will see how much depends
on that labor and what a patriotic
work they perform in providing that
which is really at the present time the
Slnews of war.
The very fact that we have con-
scriptlon puts responsibility on every
man In the country either to fight or
W work, as the government may think
most mo necessary for the public good.
Inc very fact that certain kinds of
workers are put in deferred classical
ION IS to my mind an indication to
snein mat their real duty is to do that
particular kind of work. But just as
is the duty of those who are called
y. 70 hight to fight bravely and to allow
snelr patriotism to be the informing
principle of their courage, so it is nee
essary that those who work should
work IN the same strenuous and patri-
otlc manner
There are, I think, two classes of
people who can help very much in this

Eleven Districts
Have Hot Congress
Contests ON Hand
Seven Republican and Four
Democratic Tests in To-
morrow's Primaries

The Republicans have contests in the
primaries tomorrow in the 21st, 26th,
30th, oath. 35th, 9th and 43d Congress
sional districts, while the contests in
the Democratic party are confined to
the I'd, Sd, 21st and 9th districts.
In the 21st District, in spite Of the
efforts of the district leaders to unite
on one candidate, John A. Bolles, A. B.
Humphreys, Reverdy C. Ransom and
DR.. Melville A. Hays are seeking the
nomination. Mr.. Bolles's chances are
rather the best as he has the backing
of two strong Assembly districts. In
gresham Jerome F. Donovan, Demo-
crat, is having battle with Daniel C.
Oliver.
In the 26th District, comprising
Duchess, Putnam and Orange counties,
Congressman Edmund Platt, Republi-
can, is trying to win against Daniel w.
WILDER and Albert w. Mayham.
Up. in the Greene Sch oharie- Colum-
bia- Sullivan Ulster district Represen-
tative Charles B. Ward, of Liberty, is
unopposed in the Republican camp, but
John X. Evans, of Sullivan, and John
j. Burns, of the same county, are fight
ing it out for the Democratic nomina-
ton.
In the 30th District, comprising Full
ton, Hamilton. Montgomery and Sche-
nectady counties, ex-Judge Jeremiah
Keck, of Johnstown; DR.. Frank
Crowther, of Schenectady, and Repre-
sentative George r. Lunn, Democrat
ares all after the Republican nomina-
ton. Lunn is unopposed in the Demo
cratic primaries.
One of the bitterest fights in the
state is in the Broome-O tsego- Della
ware Chenango district, where Senator
William H. Hill, Of Binghamton, is con.
testing for the Republican nomination
with Julius E. Rogers, of Broome, 6
farmer. The Human faction in Bing.
hamton and the Eairchild faction in
Otsego are backing Rogers. but the
Hill men are supported by the Whit
man organization men all over the dis.
trict, and they predict victory fol
Hill.
The adjoining southern tier district
to the west is witnessing a spirited
contest also. This is the 9Th District
at present represented by Harry H
Pratt, of Corning. The Whitman mer
in Chemung, Tioga, Steuben and Temp
kins are backing Alanson D. Houghton
prominent in the glass industry ir
Corning, against Pratt. The other can
didate is Fay H. White, who is making
a hard drive among the firms.
In the ADD District, where Congress
man Charles M. Hamilton retired this
year, there is a lively scrap on be-
tween Daniel A. Reed, of Dunkirk, and
Vernon A. Kent, of Westfeld. The
district is made up of Chautauqua
Allegheny and Cattaraugus counties.
In the Syracuse District the veteran

their owners had announced. They will
take a holiday to save gasolene next
tuesday or Wednesday.

Few more were to be seen than on
ordinary gas-burning days.
New York stayed at home for the
most part
Many Garages Locked
A large number Of garages through
out the city where private automobiles
are Kept remained locked all day long.
The Automobile Club of America re-
ported that of $50 cars in it's garage
only thirteen had been taken out and
that only sixty gallons of gasolene had
been sold, whereas ordinarily the club
members use about 600 a Sunday
Many garages refused to sell gasolene
only 16O gasolene cars of all de-
scriptions passed over Manhattan
Bridge between $3.50 and 1880 o'clock
last night. Ordinarily, thousands cross
during this hour. The number of cars
passing over Mahanttan ferries dwin-
died to less than 10 per cent. of normal
traffic.
At Coney Island only few stray
auto parties were seen. Several of
these received summonses to appear in
court. The Jericho and Merrick turn
pixies in Long Island were virtually de-
serted. Roadhouses all over Long ISL
and and Westchester County received
hardly visitor.
At Rockaway Beach the small boys
of the community effected what ap-
peared to be more or less of an organ
ization, plentifully armed with old to-
matoes and older eggs. A score of
Palm Beach suits were ruined for the
time being. and silk dresses sprayed
with the Juice Of edecaying* vegetables
and storage eggs.
Taxicab Violators
In New York City the taxicab COM
panies appeared to be the worst Of
tenders. There was small convoy of
taxis in front of every uptown hotel
although the taxicab companies had an
nounced that they would accept only
essential calls, such as those of ply
sicians, sick pesons and through tray
ellcrs passing from one railroad OF
ferry terminal to another.

Lewis Predicts
He Will Win by
Majority of $4,000

Attorney General Lewis, in a state
men prepared just before leaving for
his home in Rochester Saturday night
and issued yesterday, predicted his
nomination in the primaries by $4,000
over Governor Whitman.
Il am satisfied that I shall carry
more than twenty counties in the
state" said Mr.. Lewis. "The counties
IN which | shall receive majorities are
pared to specify them.
Governor Whitman has been losing
GROUND sfor fthe'slast ttwo weeks. His
refusal to discuss the subway situation
in New York City will cost him heavily
He has refused to discuss the prohibi-
ton issue, and many farmers, who at
first were inclined to support him be-
cause Of his supposed prohibition lean
ings, have lost faith in him. Governor
Whitman is not as sure as he was that
prohibition is popular.
There are also many voters in the
state who are suspicious of the Gov
we'll understood programme of the Gov
ernor to secure his nomination and
election for third term as a step in
the accomplishment of his purpose to
secure the nomination for President in
1920 has also cost him many votes
"There is strong feeling throughout
the state that Colonel Roosevelt should
be the nominee for President in 1920,
and there is also a belief that the
Governor is plotting to prevent Colonel
Roosevelt receiving the nomination.
The people do not want to campaign
this year on the issue of Whitman for
the Presidency in 1920.
~ feel confident also Of the nomina-
ton Of Alfred l.. Becker for the Office
of Attorney General. His splendid
work in the conduct of the investiga-
tions in which he has been engaged
entities him to the votes of all patri-
