Special to the Gazette,
AUSTIN, June The congressional
complications continue TO grow in In
terest here and the attempt to work up

determined to run for governor on ac-
count of the intimate relations exist

would keep the latter Off the track IL
his old partner should run for con-
grees. 1t is intimated that the fear
that Jones would oppose him acted rs
a potent reason In inducing Hancock
to withdraw from the race. Jones, rs

wanted chance to defeat him.

doubt that he will tackle Ireland again,
