Manton one of Becker’s counse. Manton has denied a statement at- tributed to the Gavernor. Last night, in dispatches from Albany, Whitman reiterated his statement in substance. Manton has prepared 2 reply, which he will make public as soon as he re- ceives an answer to a telegram he has sent to the Governor. The issue involved is whether Man- ton, in a plea to Whitman for Becker's life, named “five men, three living two dead,” as recipients of graft. 8 Message to the Governor.

Governor Whitman said last night in Albany that he had nat received the Manton telegram, but that it might be with a pile of mail and tele- 1/ grams concerning the Becker case which he had not had time to con- sider. He added that, although Man- ton had never left with him a formal statement containing the names of men. said to have been implicated by Becker in his stories of g‘ratt, the attorney had named several. h ‘Whitman Recalls Talk. “I do not remémber whether mentioned four or five or six,”” the Governor was quoted, “but he gave me several names, upon one of his visits here in Becker's behalf. I never mentioned the matter until I read in the papers that Manton had given me some names and that he had been quoted as saying I was at liberty to make them public if I cared to. To the newspapérmen the next day I said I+ would not make the names public but that Manton had my per- mission to give them out if hé so de- sired.
