Gov. Whitman Wins in New

ALL HIS TICKET CHOSEN
Tammany's Candidate Defeats Osborn
by Five to One-Few Women at
the Polls.

New York, Sept. 4.-Returns re-
up to midnight from yester-
days Statewide direct primary cleo
tion indicated the denomination OF
Governor Charles S. Whitman for
third term over Attorney General Mer
ton w. Lewis by to / vote or bet
ter in the Republican primaries. In
the Democratic primaries Alfred L.
Smith, who had the Endorsement of
the Democratic State Conference,
held in Saratoga last July, was a
to winner over William Church Os-
born, who ran as a protest against the
action of the Saratoga Conference and
against Charles f. Murphy's sway in
the affairs of the Democratic State
organization outside of Tammany's
own bailiwick
1t was clean-cut organization vic
tory all along the line in the Repub
lican primaries, where, beside the
fight for Governor, there were con.
tests for the nomination for Lieuten-
ant Governor. Attorney General, Con
troler and State Treasurer.
The only contest in the Republican
primaries. aside from Governor and
Lieutenant Governor which had at
tracted widespread attention was thHt
Of Deputy Attorney General Alfred +,
Becker against State Senator Charles
d. Newton for the nomination for At.
torney General. Mr.. Becker has made
an enviagle record in his prosecution
OF the Bolo Pache case and in unearth
ing and putting the quietus on pro-
German plotting Senator Newton,
while he Is regarded as a good lawyer
and made a good record in the State
Senate, was pulled through in yester
days primaries entirely through the
influence of the State machine con.
tro led by Governor Whitman. He
was a candidate on the Whitman
ticket, while Mr.. Becker was run
ming mate Of Attorney General Lewis.
In the Democratic primaries there
was no contest over nominations for
Statewide Offices. aside from the Gov
enorship contest
The victory of Governor Whitman
and of Alfred f. Smith, President of
