NEW YORK, April 27.-The World
prints a signed statement of ex-Gov-
ernor William Z. Russell of Massachu-
setts in response to question from one
of its staff correspondents:
II am greatly surprised to hear that
the action of the Massachusetts, conven-

outside the state. While l greatly ap.

dorsement by my state, l am not seek
ing the nomination, nor am desirous
of being the candidate, nor do wish
any movement made in any state in
my interest. On the contrary, have
already earnestly requested that no
such movement be made in any other
state by friends of mine"

standard people won victory in
Boies' home county. They outnum-

perfected, Chairman Scott. of the CEN
tral committee, entered the hall, ig-
nored the proceedings and called an
other convention. Thus the two con-
ventions proceeded in the small hall
simultaneously, each bowling the other
down. The disturbance continued for
more than an hour. Each convention
adopted resolutions on the money ques-
tion, the difference being as great as
