truth in the story Senator NJ cPherson went to
Washington at P NJ. by the B. & o. route.
1t was also rumored about the Court
House today that E. F. q. Young and
William D. Edwards met Robert Davis
at the County Jail yesterday evening, and
q conference was held. Davis has not
been to the Jail today and could not be
interviewed about the alleged conference.
The conference, 80 rumor mas it, was the
result of letter sent by Senator McPher-

the banker would entreat the jurist to ac-
cept the nomination for Governor and
keep harmony in the party. That Judge
