White said in hie statement: "Yesterday, talking to Walter Llppmann of the World, a friend of Governor Smith. and of mine for many years I learned that Governor Smith was deeply aggrieved that I should charge him with protecting gambling and prostitution in his assembly record.

"But Governor Smith certainly is entitled to fair treatment. I always have tried to fight fair. I have never consciously qaes-tioned any man's motives aud so this morning before the morning papers have come and before I know what, if any, reply' Governor Smith has made to my statement of yesterday, I desire to withdraw the charges formally insofar as they affect hi votes on gambUng and prostl-ntton but not his position as to the saloon. "On the question of the menace of Tammany and of Governor Smith's Tammany record for the open saloon, the whole issue of the campaign la coming." OTHER CHARGES.
