That was n view In which Herbert

Gov. Whitman went over the figures
with Mr. Koenlg. Tho Governor when

n me that he guessed the outlook

"I hnve scrutinized tho returns." Mr.!

boroughs of the city are registered In n
v,r. ful( grt.P, Tammany eldently
dd not take the trouble to get out its

from an examination of the figures," ,
The one borough that fell down In the 1

Tnmmany leaders made but a feeble
effort to contravert the Republican view
of the city's registration. Robert F.
Wagner, chairman of the Tammany
general committee, ndmltted, as ot
course he was forced to admit, the fall
ing off of registration In the strong Turn
many districts, but ascribed it to the
shifting of population from lower Man

started toward the door leading to the
executive otllce at 1 o'clock. Just as the
prisoners, 1,600 of them, were being
tumid out of the mess hull after their
Sunday dinner.
Some of the men knew the ex-warden
was about to go out Into the world as a
plain citizen and many pushed forward
to shake his hand. They wero mar
shnlted In single flic with some difficulty
and then they slowly passed by, each
rami seizing Mr. Osborne's hand lu tun.
Mr. Osborne had made a point to get
acquainted with every prisoner while lie
was nt Sing Sing nnd he knows hundreds
of them by their first names.
It was "Good-by, Hill," "Good-by.
Mike." as the long line passed him. and
the prisoners In turn either by look or
word made It clear they didn't want him
to go.

There U clamor from many sources
for spectacular action with a view to Its

of a so-called "crisis" with the Kntcntc

most irreconcilable difference of opin

Secretary Lansing has shown In his
notes that he recognizes the tllgerents'
rights, but he demands also recognition
for the neutral lights of the Cnlted
States. The Kntentc Allies cannot, up. 1
parently. extend this recognition with
out feeling that their belligerent lights
are affected. The problem from the ,
standpoint nf International law Is to find 1
some common ground or compromise Mlt.

The tendency of the State Depaitment
Is to continue the discussion and tight
the case out on the basis of lntcrnntlon.it

be chosen Is the question which Is at
