Old Parties Join
To Beat Socialists,
For Legislature
In Two Senate Districts Re-
publicans and Democrats
Swap Support

Contests Of minor Importance. to-
gether with the retirement Of several
who figured prominently in the upper
house OF the State Legislature, were
the Distinguishing features Of the SEN
ate primaries.
In The Bronx the Democrats indors.d
the candidacy of Peter A. Abeles. Re-
publican. in the 22d District. This is a
strong anti-war, Socialist section. and
iast year elected 9hree Socialists to
the Assembly. In return the Republ;-
cans Endorsed the three Democratic or
ganlzat'on candidates for the Assembly.
In Manhattan the Republicans in
dorsed Senator Bernard Downing. Dem
ocrat. His district, on the lower East
Side, is also strongly Socialistic.
The retirement of Senator Elon r.
Brown, of Watertown, for years the Re-
publican leader of the Senate, means
fight for that important post. There
are two andidates-Senator George F
Thompson, of Niagara, who has the
backing of the Whitman forces. and
Senator J. Henry Walters, Of Onon-
da2a.
The retirement of Senator Robert F
Wagner, of Manhattan, who is a. cam
dldate for Supreme Court justice in a
strong Democratic district, means the
selection of Senator James J. Walker or
Senator James A. Foley as minority
leader. ~
Four who were elected to the Senate
at the last election resigned to join the
colors. The first. Senator Ogden /.
MILLS, was succeeded by Courtlandt

Fusion of Major Parties in
Four Districts to Defeat
Socialists
Sic el VS.. Hillquit
Democrats Indorse Present
Representative to Shut Out
~Anti-War Man

Thirteen contests were wageu
throughout the state in both Demo-
cratic and Republican primaries over
nominations for Congress. The early
returns did not indicate the victors.
OF much interest was the fusion Of
tbs two major parties in four of the
Manhattan districts where anti-war
Socialists are strong. In the goth
the Democrats gave their nomination
to Representative Isaac Siegel, Re-
publican. Representative Siegel will
be opposed in the general election by
Morris Hillquit, the leader Of the anti
war Socialists. Hil!quit opposed Siegel
two years ago. and lost by small
margin.
In the 18th, now represented by
Meyer London. the Democrats and Re-
puolicans have united on Henry NJ.
Goldfcgle. Democrat. who formerly rep
resented the district. In the 18th Rep
,esentative c. D. Sullivan has received
the Republican nomination. This is
also q strong Socialist district. In the
14th Captain F. II. La Guardia. who left
his duties at Washington to fly on the
Italian front, has been indorsed by the
Democrats.
In the accompanying list candidates
IN contested districts are named where
the early returns did not indicate the
victor.

"Ap Smith Unn1oued.
But His Wife Just
Had to Beam a Bit

Seated among "the boys" at the old
Tom Foley Club, in the heart Of the
district that bore him and raised him
to fame, Gal" Smith chewed on the end
of cigar last night and watched the
returns came in without the least
flicker Of emotion, one way or the
other.
The exultation of his jubilant lieu
tenants as the overwhelming majori-
ties piled up for him by his party
throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn
were announced left him entirely un
moved.
Not until-shortly after 11:15-he
had himself called up William H.
Kelley at the state headquarters. at
Syracuse, and verified the reports OF
the upstate returns, was he willing to
conceded his own success. Then, emery
ing from the telephone booth, he die
tatcd the following terse statement:
Il am deeply moved by the express
sion OF confidence in me by the en-
rolled members of the Democratic
country's history, to be the candidate
Of the dominant party in the United
States for the Office of chief executive
of the great State Of New York, places
upon me responsibility of which I
am thoroughly sensitive.
my constant aim will be to justify
their action"
TO this Mr.. Smith would add moth
ing as to his belief in his chances in
the larger test that lies two months
ahead. Neither did he once ask for
Whltman-Lewis contest in the Repub-
lican primaries.
I've got troubles enough of my own
watching the Democratic vote| was
his smiling explanation.
Mrs. Smith, the centre of a little
group Of friends, sat in the middle of
the big assembly hall of the Tom Foley
Club, while her husband, on the ros-
trum. was getting the reports of the
district captains. She, too, was reti-
cent of comment, except for a little
beam Of pride when the district in
WI, winch her Al' was born, the 14th
turned in vote of 277 to in favor
OF the present President of the Board
of Aldermen.
Al" Smith, too, pointed to this with
undisguised delight.
And in the district where I'm living
now" he added smlingly, as if to
cllnch the point. "the vote was 1914 tn
2 Wonder who those two were?''
At IL o'clock, with a few final hand
shakes and smiles and admonitions to
the boys" to "be good" the newly
chosen candidate for Governor slipped
around the corner to his home to pick
up suitcase and his oldest son. With
these he set out on foot for the Barclay
street ferry. and the first stage Of his
trip to Binghamton.
Here Mr.. Smith will put up at the
Arlington Hotel and go into immediate
conference with Henry Walker. his
running mate, and other Democratic
leaders as to the details of the forth
coming campaign. The PROBABILITIES
are that this will be begun at once with
an upstate speaking tour, starting at

Gasoleneless Sunday
Reported a Success
Especial Dispatch to The Tribu,e)


WASHINGTON. Sept 3.-The first
"non-joy riding" Sunday was An entire
success from the gasolene conserva-
ton standpoint, the fuel administra-
ton announced to-day. Reports arriv-'
ing in Washington from all over the
Eastern states indicate a very COM
plete degree of cooperation on the part
of utomobilists.
"The confidence reposed by the Ad-
ministration in the individual car own
ers," the fuel administration stated,
"was fully justified. Each car owner
constituted himself his own fuel adj
request from the government for coop
Grafton to aid in the work of the war
is fully effective.
From practically every large city
it was reported that the unnecessary
use of cars was almost entirely elm
mated on Sunday. The few who sought
to ignore the request for gasolene saw
ing made themselves conspicuously un-
popular with the vast number who
walked or patronized the usual public
vehicles.
I'm addition to the gasolcne saving
accomplished the reports indicated va
rlous additional benefits resulting from
the fuel administrations request. In
almost every city arrests for speeding
and for careless driving were reduced
TO minimum last Sunday, and auto
mobile accidents east of the Mississippi
were practically eliminated"

Magee and Whitman
Winners in Onondaga;
Hendricks Regulated

SYRACUSE, Sept. 3. - Francis w.
Hendricks was repudiated as leader of
the Onondaga Republican organization
to-day when Congressman Walter w.
Magee defeated Giles H. Stilwell, the
Hendricks candidate, by a vote Of 1913
to 1921. The vote was light, about 40
per cent of the enrolled Republicans
going to the polls. Magee entered the
race with Hendricks backing a week
before the primary. The aged leader
bolted Magee and declared for Stilwell,
the ".iry" candidate
Governor Whitman ran ahead of
Lewis and will have a plurality of
about 1000. Lieutenant Governor
Schoeneck will carry the county ap-
parently by $500. He received heavy
vote in the German populated districts,
but apparently his connection with the
Tolishus case did not cut his vote to
any great extent.

Bridgeport Strike
Is Still Unsettled

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. Stool
makers and machinists in munition
factories who struck on Friday because
of dissatisfaction with the working out
of the wage decision made by the Ma
tional War Labor Board did not return
to their benches to-day.
In labor union circles the under
standing was that conference in
Washington to-day would take up the
wage differences. William H. John
ston. president of the Machinsts'
Union and member of the Labor Board,
in an. address here yesterday said it
was the intention to have Mr.. Eidlitz
umpire on the board, make u specific
interpretation of the wage feature.
A general inquiry as to the attitude
of the strikers indicated that some
men returned to work, but their num-
Der was offset by men who left work.
1T was claimed that scores Of men are
leaving the city to obtain employment
elsewhere.
Pickets were put out by the strikers
at some OF the factories.

Colonel and Wife
Take Negro Maid
To Cast Ballot

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 3.-Prmary vot
ing was extremely slow in this village.
Only about a third of the voters ap
peared at the polls and the women did
not materialze as the leaders had ex-
pected. Both Democratic and Republ-
can leaders admitted that the majority
OF the women who appeared were Re-
publicans.
Colonel Roosevelt and his wife ap
peared early at the voting place. Mrs.
Roosevelt took her ballot and was only
few minutes in the booth; the Colonel
waited until she had finished and then
marked his ballot. The former Presi-
dent md his wife motored from Saga

their car was Mrs. Clara Lee, wife of
Charles Lee. who has been the Colo
neps negro chauffeur for many years
She waited for the Colonel to vote and

Kaiser Gray and Worn,
Seems in Great Sorrow

GENEVA, Sept. "a Swiss who
saw Emperor William and King Fer
dinand quite closely at their Nau-
helm conference recently, according
to the democratic" declares that
the German ruler has greatly aged
and that his hair is snow white and
his shoulders stopped. The Emper-
or's eyes are feverisl, his gestures
abrupt and his face, which is severe
ly lined and tanned, gives the gen
cral impression of man suffering
a great sorrow.
The "Democrate" learns that the
Emperor's visit to King Ferdinand
was for the object of obtaining Bull
garian divisions for the Western
front in order to release German re-
serves similar to the way Austro-
Hungarian troops are being used to
FIJI the gaps caused by the heavy
losses during the present retreat.
In the meantime German recruits
barely eighteen years old have re-
ceived orders to prepare to join the
fighting forces on the 1st of 0ctohar

Mrs. Whitman No. I
AS Primary Voter;
Governor Is No. 2

Governor Whitman cast ballot No. 2
at the polling place at Sixth Avenue
and Flfty-tifth Street yesterday after
noon few minutes after the polls
opened at | o'clock, following immedi
ately after Mrs. Whitman, who had tn.
distinction OF casting the first ballot
Both Mrs. Whitman and, the Governor
voted straight" Whitman tickets.
Governor Whitman had intended to
return 10 Albany yesterday, but we'll
known Harlem negroes called on him
and induced him TO stay over and make
a speech at a war savings stamp drive
in 136th Street. Later he returned to
the st. Regis and listened to the re-
turns as they came in over the ticker.
When appcised of the figures and asked
for statement he said:
* do not see that any statement is
called for. The figures speak for
themselves. Politics are punk, anyway,
compared with the thrilling war news
from the other side this afternoon.
the spirit Of our men over there is
simply wonderful. The hard thing now
for the average American is to keep
cut Of the fight. We all feel like get
ting into it. This week l have been
looking at the figures. and find that
this state has $4,000 soldiers in the
service. That seems large, standing
alone, but taken in connection with
what the state did in the Civil War
1t does not seem so large.
II discovered that if in this war we
had raised men in the same proportion
rs the state furnished them in the
Civil War we now would have in the
field 100000. In the Civil War New
York gave one man to every ten.
France in the present war has given
one man in every nine"

no way of determining exactly what
percentage Of the 679,618 women en-
rolled took advantage of their hard
won franchise. In New York City
the largest women's vote was polled
On the East Side and in the more
socialists vdjstricts of Brooklyn and
The Bronx. 1n'<tAer districts they
seemed to take less 'li.terest in the
contest. IT..
The early returns showed Osborn
running ahead of Smith for The
Democratic nomination for Governor
in only two or three counties. In
Orleans County the vote was about
even, with Osborn only three or four
votes ahead in eight districts. In
Wyoming County tie early vote in
Dictated an Osborn vote of three to
one
Smiths vote ran as high as ten to
one in some of the other upstate
counties. In Rensselaer, Smith over
whelmed Osborn in the first nine dis
tricts by vote of 567 to Is. The
first few districts in Columbia
County showed this ratio. The early
returns from Monroe were five to
one for Smith. Ten districts in Nj
agara gave Smith eighty-nine and
Osborn twenty-five. Thirteen dis
tricts in Oswego showed Smith run
ming four to one. The early Erie
County vote was more than ten to
one for Smith. In Livingston Smith
and Osborn were nearer together,
the vote in ten districts being:
Smith, SO, and Osborn, as. Scho-
harie was strong for Smith. The
Democrats had no other contests for
state officers.
Schoeneck Wins Easily
Lieutenant Governor ward
Schoeneck, of Syracuse, had little
difficulty in beating his opponents,
Seth G. Heacock, of Ilion, and Will
lam M. Bennett, of Manhattan. Op-
position to Mr.. Schoeneck was based
chiefly on his activities in the case
of John A. Tolishus, his law clerk,
who has been indicted on charges of
disloyal and seditious utterances.
The result was little different in
the contest for Attorney General
Senator Charles D. Newton, Of
Geneseo, was the Whitman candi-
date, opposed by Deputy Attorney
General Alfred L. Becker, of Buff
falo. Mr.. Becker had been Endorsed
by Colonel Roosevelt. He based his
appeal for support in the primaries
chiefly upon his energetic investiga-
ton Of German propaganda in this
state. In spite of this, Senator
Newton, with the support of the
Whitman organization, easily de-
feated him.
State Controller Travis, supported
by the Whitman men, had little diff
Guilty in winning against Samuel
Fraser, the farmer candidate, and
John Kissel, of Brooklyn, who un-
successfully attacked Mr.. Travis's
nominating petitions in the courts.
James L. Wells, of The Bronx.
who is serving his second term as
State Treasurer, was opposed in the
primaries by Theodore T. Baylor, of
Manhattan. Mr.. Wells was an easv
winner yesterday.
