was candidate for Congress. Clarence
liodson, who also accompanied the
delegation. is a colonel on Gov. Lowndes'
stall. StRte Comptroller Graham OK
poets, it Is said. to he appointed United
States district attorney, and il lie
secures the appointment his acceptance
would create q vacancy in tho comp.
trollership, which would be tiled BY
the Governor. MIR. Dryden, it ia alleged,
would be appointed comptroller, to
serve until next fall, when the term for
which Mr.. Graham was elected will ex-
pire, and when Mr.. Dryden will seek
tho Republican nomination for the
comptrollership. In the event Of Mr..
Dryden being appointed to the proepeo-

sire to secure.
