Whitman Men See
Danger in Call for
Meeting of arty
May Affect Republican
Ch an $, Washington
Friends of Governor Say
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON. June 22.-Friends Of
Governor Whitman in the Congression-
al delegation here to-day, while appar
emily worried bS the Wadsworth-Cal-
der move in calling a meeting of the
Republicans of the state just prior to
the last date for filing nominations,
were confident that the move, as ons
of them put it, "has not put dent in
the Whitman armor."
Whitman lartisans professed more
anxiety over the effect on the Republi-
can party's chances of success in Mo-
vember than on the prospects of Gov
ernor Whitman being renominated.
81 don't like this subterranean talk
that some of the anti-Whitman men
are quietly passing around about the
impossibility of electing Whitman If
he is nominated" said Western New
York Whitman member of the House.
nominee, and I always think he is 60
ing over big until all the ballots have
been counted. l don't see how these
fellows who are bemoaning Whitman's
weakness can continue to call them
selves Republicans"
Politicians lined up with the Whit
man forces insisted that no one who
was not an enemy OK the Governor
had been consulted by either Senator
Wadsworth or Senator Calder before
putting out their joint statement.
$50 far as l can find out" said one
Whitman member of the House, <'the
only members of the House who knew
of this thing before it was given to
the press were Dempsey and Mott. AS
a matter of fact. both would like to
run themselves, and have not been
hushing up friends who started to
boost them."
An unusually frank member of the
delegation pointed out to-day that
Governor Whitman had used his pat
ronage with amazing effect in building
up his organization, so far as members
of the Congressional delegation are
concerned, at any rate. Certainly it is
a fact that a considerable percentage
of the delegation is strong for the re-
nomination Of Governor Whitman, and
it is equally fact that there is not
the personal liking and attachment
which are SO often manifested between
the political leader of state, or the
leading candidates of a party, and the
men little further down the line.
Governor Whitman seems to have
loyal supporters a-plenty in the delega-
tion, but there seems to be very little
fervent Whitman enthusiasm. And
there are several weak links in the
chain. By no means all of the Repub-
lican New York members of the House
who are Whitman men on the surface
can be confidently counted on through
thick and thin.

except in six trades, in which he agreed
TO increase the mems compensation Is
per cent. He refused TO reduce the
hours of employment, telling the men
that now is time for more and not
less work. He said reduction in hours
would be unpatriotic.
Inc man accepted the offer in part
and agreed to submit the remaining de-
mands which the company would not
grant to the War Labor Board.
Leaders of more than dozen unions
eemphatically told the War Board mem
bers that the workers were not unpa-
trlotic in asking for more money at
this time and justified their demands
oy pointing to the increased price Of
1000, wearing apparel and other neces-
stiles of life. They showed that the
company had increased its production
and earnings in much greater proper
tion than the mems wages had been
advanced.
Vice-President Emmons charged the
union men had attempted to regulate
production and that groups had agreed
among themselves that the output of
that certain group was not to exceed a
certain standard which the men named.
This, he said, had been called to the at
tention of the management some time
ago.
He produced figures to show that a
10 per cent increase to the men will
mean an additional expenditure of
s2,O0O,0O0; that 5000 employees who
have worked for the company five
years or more are paid bonus of
approximately s270 900, which was not
computed as wages by either side;
that wages in this plant of the COM
pany have been increased 20 per cent,
while wages in other manufactures
of this state have been advanced only
SO per cent within recent period.
The increased cost of living, accord
ing to official state reports. for the
same period was SIS per cent Mr.. En-
mons declared war work would be re-
tarded seriously if short period of
work is ordered. The men are en-
ployed fifty hours week.

BROOKLYN HELPED
OUT OF H SNARL
p. s. C. Virtually Decides on
Separate Service From
Times Square.

The Public Service Commission took
under advisement yesterday a plan to
abolish the subway shuttle service I'M
der Forty-second street and substitute
In place Of 1t either an express or To-
cal service between Times Square and
Brooklyn.
All that remains to be settled before
the commission orders the through SER
vice begun is to determine whether II
will be best to install express trains
or locals. Vice-President Hedley OF
the marlborough favors express trains
on the theory. as he testified. that pas
sengers desiring to ride from the heart
Of Manhattan to Brooklyn will be little
Interested in the stations at intermedi-
ate points and will want fast trains.
Commissioners Hubbell and whitney
favor local trains.
Meantime should the marlborough
not put in an express service as pro-
posed by Mr.. Hedley the b. r. t. sub
way from Times Square to Brooklyn 10
likely to get much Of the through traffic
which might otherwise go to the In
terborough.
MIR. Hedley said he had little faith in
the shuttle service for the II subway
system. He added that it would be a
difficult problem off his mind IL a
through service were ordered.
At yesterdays hearing Mr.. Hedley
contended that the subway trains are
now running on better Roadway than
in recent weeks, and in this he was
backed by the commissions inspectors.
who have been again out clocking trains.
Charles Standfast. an inspector, sug-
gested that all subway trains ought
to have signboards marked with train
destinations displayed prominently on
the fronts of head cars.

BLAME FIXED FOR
GAFFNEY'S ESCAPE
Grand Jury Says Tombs War
den, Sheriff and Police
Were at Fault.

A presentment on the investigation OF
the escape from the Tombs of Vincent
Gaffney. convicted Of manslaughter. and
his subsequent escape from the police
when he was cornered in an apartment
house. was returned yesterday by the
August Grand Jury. The Tombs war
den. the SherLT's Office and the police
are found to be at fault. without colu-
sion of any of the officials In the escape.
In addition to placing the blame. the
Grand Jury made a number of recon-
mendations for the future handling Of
prisoners. A copy OF the record was
ordered sent to the Police Commissioner
The report states that after thorough
investigation the Jurors find that pris-
oners sentenced by tho court should be
forthwith transferred to their prisons. no
matter how many guards are required.
Ga.fney was held for transfer. The
jurors also found that an insufficient
number of guards were employed in the

to Gaffney and aided in his escape. There
were only twenty-three keepers on duty
at the time, although there were 500
prisoners.
The report says that the wages of the
keepers. ranging from 5000 to $1,000.
are inadequate to obtain the PROPER num-
Der of men OF the right type. II recon-
mends the wage scale be raised imme-
diately. 1t also recommends that a dis
tinctive type OF prison garb be worn by

! sible to prisoners and that a check be
kept on 1t.

The presentment finds the policemen

four of them went to the door OF the

about midnight. Instead OF Immediately

street and II appears that uniformed
policeman. not in the searching party

street, on the run in his underwear
without making any effort to apprehent
him.
Furthermore. it appears that al
