No Hope for Aliea 10 Win.
The prinosrai gossip OF today WAS over
the possibility OF ex-senator Alien being
brought out next week. and while this has
not been given out as a set purpose, II -
generally believed that the Wilson men
will attempt IL. Some OF Mr.. Aliens
friends outside OF tho Wilson forces are
opposing this vigorously. Said one of
these gentlemen 10 me- today:
"a have always thought IL Mr.. Allen was
a candidate would support him. but as I
view the case now. could rot DO SO King
county viii not change from Humee, and
while Mr. Allen haa some friends 10 tho
legislature who would ike 10 support him,
the conditions are such that he would never
reach the position 90 Votes that Sena-
tor Wilson no9 occupies. II Is not In the
cards this year for him 10 win and as his
friend I would not support him 10 his
own future INJURY. IL is my belief thar
sir. Allen viii himself refuse To allow HE
name 10 be used"
