Lewis Faction Counts on
Carrying Is; Patronage
Cry Raised by Both Sides
Clergy for Governor
Thirty.nine Brooklyn Pastors
Already Have Endorsed
His Candidacy

The friends Of Governor Whitman in
Brooklyn predict that they will carry
sixteen Of the twenty-three Assembly
districts, in the governorship pri-
maries. They concedc the 4th, 9th,
18th, 18th, Goth, 21st and 29d to At
torney General Lewis.
The Lewis men, led by Election Com
missioner Jacob A. Livingston, claim
fifteen of the twenty-three districts
and they assert that three of the eight
they concede to the Governor are prop
erly in the doubtful column, giving
the Governor and Controller Travis
only five certain districts. the I'd. 9th,
11th, 18th and 21st.
The familiar charge that "the other
side" is using patronage to influence
district leaders is heard from both
camps. Attorney General Lewis yes
terday appointed Charles S. Amsel, Of
the 9th Assembly District, friend Of
Jacob A. Livingston, Deputy Attorney
General, at salary of $4,000.
Patronage Cry Raised
To Offset the argument of the Whit
man men that this was using patron
age for Lewis, they asserted that the
Governor would soon bring about the
appointment of district leader or
his right hand man to place in the
Office Of the State Farms and Markets
Council. The friends of the Governor
said last night that the week had been
good one for them and they pointed
to the Endorsement Of the Governor by
the thirty-nine clergymen, the greater
number of whom are Brooklyn pastors
occupying leading churches in their
respective denominations.
"If l we're in the Governors place"
said Senator Albert Ottinger, of the
upper West Side Senate district, yes
terday at the Republican Club, 81 would
place the utmost emphasis on the good
fight made by the Republicans to ward
off the entertainments of the Federal
government. In normal times no po-
litical party in its senses would at
tempt to aggrandze to the Federal
government Niagara Falls and the wa
ter power Of the Empire State. The
Federal government is trying to bring
this about, as we'll as to take over the
barge canal. 1t is pure Federal ag-
grandizement.
again, believe that the Governor
would win great many votes by bold
ly attacking the Democrats for their
pronounced drift toward socialism.
Senator Wagner introduced and fought
Tor the passage of his municipal own
ership bill. 1t was to politically cap
ita'ize the socialistic sentiment sup
posed to be popular in American poll
tics that the Senator pushed this meas
ure. Of course, he had the support of
the Hearst newspapers.
Tax Policy Attacked

Dense clouds of smoke that swept
across the city late yesterday after
noon from a burning building st Tenth

order was reversed in the Socialist
party. there being more than three
times as many men enrolled as women.
The total women enrolment was

fective ballots. OF this total 164.722

J-Boat Spares WhaIer.

Boston, June 11.-The story told by Captain Gonsalves of the whaling schooner A. M. Nicholson which ar rived safely at an Atlantic port Sum- day after being held up by a Ger man submarine off Cape Hatteras has excited unusual interest in naval and shipping circles. According to the captain the whaler was spared upon representations by the master that he was the owner and would be ruined if she was sunk. Some naval officers are persuaded that the cap- tain of the U-boat was influenced by a motive not explained by tender ness of heart. Captain Gonsalves halls from the Cape Verde Islands which at one time were suspected of being the innocent location of a German submarine base.

 OF NON-ESSENTIALS
Cannot Hope for Full Pro- duction This Winter,
 Russell Says.

Hartford, June 11.-Connecticut may reasonably hope for material inn prOvement in it's coal situation with in a few weeks and for satisfactory attention to it's needs the coming win ter, according to Thomas w. Russell, federal fuel administrator for the state, who gave out today his first statement as to the results of the latest conference at Washington.
 We found the authorities in Washington sympathetic to our ar guments," said he, "and We have good reason to hope for their com pliance with our suggestions. Ap- plying particularly to the priorities committee of the war industries board. we urged them to request the assistance of state administrators in helping them to form a preference list of manufacturers of the most importance from the standpoint of the war view of industry
 Industries not engaged in war
 work can hardly expect, in my be-. lief to run this coming winter to the extent of manufacturing 100 per cent of their normal product as
 can hardly entertain the hope of sup plying them with the full amount of fuel for continuous operation.
 Such industries, in my unofficial 1 opinion, would be wise in planning now curtailment of their product l during the next winter season and so l increase their chances of keeping l their factories running throughout 1 the winter on reduced output rather | than employ their full force and at | tempt to turn out maximum produce 1 tlon and have to close down at more l or less frequent intervals.
 | "1 feel reasonably hopeful that our l needs will be met. While it does 1 not appear that the production of l soft coal will be equal to our de- | mands, it was gratifying to learn
 that the operating efficiency of the l Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio 1 railroads had improved so much that 1 the mines were getting for the most l part a normal supply of empty cars
 for the first time since the autumn of | 1917. An improvement resultant
 from better shipping facilities and ! new agreements should be noticeable
 in this state within two or three i weeks"
