is to remain in the city until after the
disputed governorship contest is ar

Whether he will stay here until IL il
decided by the court. he has not yet
determined. He said he had a very
pleasant trip to the metropolis, and

republican leaders about his case. He
preferred. however, not to go into the
details regarding the conference or to
be interviewed regarding other fea-
lures of the case.

lor it is ascertained that he has not
received any information regarding
the indictment charging him with be-
ing an accessory TO the murder of Mr..
Goebel. which, il was rumored. had
been brought against him by the
Frankfort grand jury. They say that
even should the decision of the SUI
preme court be against his right TO
the governorship. il is his present in
tention TO return TO Kentucky in
spite of whatever proceedings may be
instituted against him there.
