A DELAWARE MAN WHO SAYS ALL
HOPE FOR GRAY's NOMINATION Is
ABANDONED.-GeOrge H. Bates re-
turned to Wilmington, Saturday, from
the coast of North Carolina, where he
has been stopping during the past
week. He left Fortress Monroe soon
after an interview with Colonel Dan
Lamont, and says he has not heard
anything of politics. AS to the sub
| ject of his interview with the Presi.
dents secretary, he is entirely reticent
and processes to be entirely in the dark
concerning the naming of a Chief Jus.
tice. An outside party, who is sup
posed to be in a position to know the
views of both Mr.. Bayard and Mr.
Bates, stated that all hope of Gray's
appointment had been abandoned
He also stated that there had devel
Oped strong opposition to the nOmi-
nation of Senator Gray among State
politicians, who feared that if he were
taken out of Delaware politics the
Democratic party would be disrupted
within year. The party making this
statement has the reputation of WELD
ing a powerful lever in Democrat,
county affairs, and confidently asserted
that Mr.. Gray was out of the contest
