Sheriff Knott Will
Appoint No Deputies

. Sheriff Knott has notified Police
Commissioner Enright that he has de-
clded to appoint no special deputy
sherlffs. The statement was made in
response to request by Commissioner
Enrlght as to the number Of special
deputy badges outstanding
The Office of special deputy sheriff,
which carries no salary, has been fire.
quently used in ways the Sheriff never
intended it should be. For that reason
and also as the war situation is liable
to create new possibilities for the
abuse of the badge which goes with
the office, Sheriff Knott has decided not
to issue any of them.
In the past there have been as many
as 1000 special deputy sheriffs. Some
of these had themselves appointed that
they might be permitted to carry re-
volvers. In one or two instances where
such badges have been lost they have
fallen into the hands of men who later
were arrested for violating the law.
IF | appoint deputy sheriffs," said
Sheriff Knott, 81 cannot tell where the
privileges of the office will be abused
and therefore shall apoint none. I have
made enemies by this stand but for the
good of the community must adhere

The Attorney General was silent on
his conference with George ". Al
bridge, Republican boss of Monroe
County, on Saturday.
Would you care to go into detail as
to what points you differ from Gov
ernors Whitman's policies ?" he was
asked.
81 do not care to discuss that at this
time" he replied.
The political wiseacres here declare
that in view Of the Attorney Generals
statement not even the Governor would
dare to go out on very extended
stumping tour in behalf Of his can
didacy for denomination without bring
ing down upon his head the charge that
such tour "would inevitably inter
fere with the performance of his
duties" Unless something unlocked
Tor occurs both candidates at this time
may be expected to do all their po-
lltlcal mannuvring under cover.
Barnes Indorses Lewis
William Barnes, Republican boss of
Albany County, in an editorial in mis-
newspaper, "The Albany Evening Jour
nal," tonight virtually indorses the
candidacy of Attorney General Lewis.
The editorial is headed Perfect Anti
thesis" and says:
announcement made by Attorney
General Lewis of his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Governor
puts the finger on the weak spot Of
Governor Whitman's aspirations to the
third term.
"The universal criticism made of Gov
ernor Whitman is that his interest
lies not in his work, but in his for
tune; that when decision is required of
him on public matter his mind is
controlled by what, in his Judgment,
will be best for his political future.
Attorney General Lewis is a fitting
candidate to make the primary contest
against Governor Whitman, for the rea-
son that his mind is the antithesis of
that of Governor Whitman. During his
long career of public service his work
has been his first concern. He is in
ddustrious, indefatigable and without
fear of cOnSeouences "

Whitman and Le.uis
Forces Here Line UD
For Primary Fieht

The formal announcement by Attor-
ney General Merton E. Lewis that he
would oppose Governor Whitman in the
September primaries caused general
activity behind the Whitman and anti
Whitman lines here yesterday. The
local leaders, who are with the Gov
ernor for denomination, are concen-
trating their forces for drive against
the Lewis battle line. The anti-Whit-
man forces, particularly in Brooklyn.
arc beginning to "dig in"
Governor Whitman will be the GEN.
trail figure here at the meeting of the
Republican County Committee Thurs
day night, which he will address. Sam
uel S. Koenig, chairman of the County
Committee, and other New York Whit
Governor an enthusiastic welcome. A
resolution may be offered to put the
committee on record in support of Gov
ernor Whitman for third term.
1t will be an opportune time for the
Governor to launch his campaign for
the nomination.
In view of the Lewis announcement
the local leaders expect the Governor
will shape his speech along those lines.
A large representation of the women
members IS expected, and the Gov
cAAo", ~ As PTeQlCCcu, Will make a
strong appeal to them.
The Lewis announcement was re-
ceived with jubilation by Jacob A. Liv-
ingston, chairman of the executive
committee of the Kings County Repub-
lican organization, and other anti
Whitman leaders in Brooklyn. Mr..
Livingston started the Cropsey boom
in the last city campaign. Mr.. Living
ston, however, was not yet prepared to
commit himself fully to support of
Lewis.
~ am glad to see more than one
candidate entering. the primaries for
have a salutary effect upon the party.
| can't say yet that will support Mr..
Lewis. want to wait until he an
nounces definitely what his platform is
to be before / say anything further"
Alfred E. Vass, chairman of the
Kings County Republican Committee;
State Controller Eugene M. Travis and
other Brooklyn leaders were not in
clined to comment on the situation so
early. Travis and Vass have both been
counted in the Whitman camp, but are
situation, as friends of Lewis have in
timated that the Lewis ticket would
contain Travis's name. In the absence
of United States Senator Calder the
rumor persisted in Brooklyn Repub-
lican circles that he might throw his
support to the Lewis followers. 1t is
expected that an entire Lewis slate
will be made up at later conference.
Public Service Commissioner F. j. H.
Kracke, the chief Whitman Brooklyn
leader, wanted to wait for further de-
velopments before discussing the
Lewis announcement. Commissioner
Kracke may be drafted to manage the
Whitman campaign this fall. He man
aged the Governors second campaign
successfully.
Both the Whitman and anti-Whit-
man factions yesterday were looking
to Colonel Roosevelt to take q hand
in the state situation. Some of the
Whitman supporters said they ex-
pected the Colonel to support their
cause.

BOSS" Barnes Quits
Republican Club

William Barnes, jr., who was dragged
from the Republican Club several
weeks ago by two convivial compan-
ions, who charged him with insulting
Uncle Sam, has never got over that
lamentable affair and has now deserted
the club entirely.
1t was learned yesterday that he had
established his New York headouarters
at the Union League. Following the
dispute over Uncle Sam, it is under
stood that Mr.. Barnes demanded of
Robert w. Bonynge, president of the
club, that the two army officers who
hailed him to the police station be
forced to apologize. =
Mr.. Bonynge, it is said, refused to
do this. and as result Mr.. Barnes an
nounced to friends last night that he
had sent in his resignation and had
had his baggage transferred to the
Union League Club.

Band Seated in Street
The drive had been going all dav.
but it reached its high watermark at
3 in the afternoon. That was the
hour when the band from Public School
Fl, down in Mott Street, fought its wav
through the press and banged to a halt
in Orchard Street, near Rivington.
"Chairs for the band!" somebody
yelled. Chairs were brought from
stores and shops. In a few minutes
the musicians were seated in the mid
die of the street, opposite Mendel-
baum's Fountain Pen Hospital. There
they remained all afternoon, in de-
fiance of traffic regulations and Ser
geant Frank Campbell, whose Job, on
his own admission, was keeping Orch

said Campbell, "for war stamps, amt
