FORD WILL WITHDRAW.
If Union Republicans Are Success
full He is Out of Governor.
Fight.

An intimate political friend of Peter J..
Ford, capitalist and Gubernatorial as
pirant said last night that Mr.. Ford's
candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor depended largely on
the result of the contest now before the
Republican National Committee for the
seating OF delegates from Delaware.
He said that Mr.. Ford stated to him
on Saturday that if the Union Republi-
can delegates were seated in the conven-
tion he would withdraw from the race.
1t is believed that Mr.. Ford recognizes
not only the present strength Of the
Union Republican party, but is aware
that recognition bv the National Conven-
tion will place in the hands of the Union
Republican party such power as will en-
able them to sweep the State next fall
with ease.
