WHITMAN TAKES SIX
MONTHS LEASE HERE
Indicates Home for While
Will Be in St. Regis.

George w. Aidridge Of Rochester,
ono Of the Governors most stalwart
supporters. was quoted yesterday as
saying there was no possibility Of a
Statewide recount Of votes cast in the
election for Governor.
There is nothing in the Aldridge
statement" Gov. Whitman said last
night. THE matter is in the hands Of
my counsel and in the courts and will
remain there until it is disposed OF
by the courts"
Gov. Whitman has executed a lease
for six months from December 81 on
the st. Regis apartments that he has
occupied on his periodical visits to the
city. 1t is understood that the terms
Of the new lease are for one addi-
tional room, and that the Governor
expects to make the St. Regis his per-
manent home,
Gov. Whitman was asked his opinion
on the probability OF the next Legis-
lature ratifying the Federal prohibition
amendment. He said:
THE Legislature will ratify the pro-
hibition amendment this winter be-
cause the majority OF both houses are
committed to its support in their re-
spective districts"
Gov. Whitman said he took no sides
in the fight for the Senate leadership
that is going on between Senator
George +. Thompson of Niagara
county and Senator J. Henry Walters
Of Syracuse.
The Governor was asked what at
tituGc the next Legislature might be
expected TO take in the matter of pro-
viding a military status for officers OF
the old National Guard returning from
service abroad. He said that he
favored the liberalization Of the New
York Guard. and that. in his opinion.
there should not be the least difficulty
in arranging for former National
Guard officers to retain their status
and rank in whatever new State
organization or establishment might he
decided upon.

ELKUS SAYS NATION
BACKS WILSON TRIP
Remark at Advertising Mems
Dinner Fails TO Arouse
Enthusiasm.

In his speech ut the annual dinner
OF the Association OF National Adver-
Users, held in the Waldorf Astoria
Hotel last night, Abram I. Elkus,
former Ambassador TO Turkey, made
the assertion that "all people in Amer
lea worth while" were squarely behind
President Wilson on his peace mission
to Europe. This remark did not seem
to evoke the same degree OF enthu-
siasm that had greeted other portions
of his speech. There was an audible
"Oh. no. Mr. Elkus," from the gallery
Immediately over the speakers table.
The subject of Mr.. Elkus's speech
was Incidents in the Career of a
Turkish Ambassador" but his perora-
ton was a warm espousal of the Will
sonian peace principles. The doctrine
OF the freedom of the seas. especially.
he maintained must be written so that
no one can fail to understand II.
Mr.. Elkus praised the American re-
lief workers for their efforts to allevi-
ate the keen distress among the sub
ject peoples of Turkey. At the sever
ance of the Diplomatic relations be-
tween this country and Turkey these
relief workers. men and women alike,
refused TO leave the country In safety,
preferring to stay ana minister to the
needs of the starving people.
The Rev. Or. Charles 4. Eaton, pas
tor OF the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church. who preached the gospel OF
patriotism and cooperation among the
shipyard workers, delivered an OPP
timistic message regarding the spirit
Of American labor. There was moth
inging to fear from the honest, hard
listed workingman. he declared, for
the latter was thinking seriously of
the problems of the country and was
only waiting for honest leadership.
The troubles between capital and la
bor he added, would he solved by the
humane attitude of capital itself
The one dark cloud on the horizon,
DR.. Eaton believed. was Bolshev!sm,
which, he added, was even more vi
cious than Prussianlsm. because II
