NOMINEE FOR MAYOR
THREATENS TO ABANDON THE RACE

ennnbatjcx,E that Mr.. Wells had in
formed him that he would withdraw from
the ticket unless B. p. Flint was piaceu
upon the ticket as one OF the super
visoriaI nominees. Mr. R'oreah sdlo'
called upon Mr. Wells in his office in the
Citv Hall Yesterday morning and after greet
ing him as Mr.. Mayor, discussed the political
situation in general
Mr.. Wells expressed his d1spleasure that
certain gentleman was not placed upon the
ticket as a nominee for supervisor he did
not mention the gentleman's name, simply say
inc ba was an excellent parliamentarian and
that he knew he would not only make an ex-
ceIlent Supervisor but would be able to serve
as president pro TEN. Of the Doard IN MS (Mr.
wens) absence. I did not learn that Mr.
Flint the gentleman MT. "eHS reIerreo
to until afternoon
Mr. Wells certainly felt hurt that Mr. Flint
was not nominated. but he certainly said moth
ing to me about Withdrawing from the ticket
if Mr. Flint not given place
Max Goldberg any other man, was pres
ent at our interview. In reference to Max
Goldberg all that Mr. Wells said was that he
would like to have him placed on the campaign
committee. In the afternoon acceded to his
request by appointing Goldberg to the COM
mittee and having his certificate filed with the
Registrar.
Says Wells Must Be Crazy.
have no doubt Mr.. Flint would have been
nominated for supervisor mad MT. WeLS re-
quest been made little earlier. However.
never knew that Mr.. Wells desired any man to
be nominated until I talked with him this
morning One fact will emphasize again. and
that is that Mr.. Wells did not threaten to
withdraw from the ticket during the CONVEX
sation I had with him this morning.
A few hours later Mr.. Riordan was in-
terviewed again on Market street.
He was asked fatty if it was not a
fact that Mr.. Wells had stated that he
would withdraw from the ticket If B, p.
Flint was not nominated for Supervisor.
Mr. Riordan said then:
Mr. Wells must either be dafy or crazy, and
I would be willing to give $500 personally if
he would withdraw from the ticket.
Mr.. Riordan also stated that in the
conversation about Flint not being a can~
didate for Supervisor Mr.. Wells asked;
'rDid you ever know case where the
Mayor had not something to do with the
naming of Supervisors?'
Mr.. Riordan replied: ST know Of but
one case where he did-that Of Mayors
PheIan-and the board he named was the
worst the city ever had" Continuing
Riordan said: "There are eighteen As
sembIy Districts in this city, and don't
you suppose that the representatives OF
those districts know better who they
want for Supervisors than you do%'

SA R. WELLS, Republican nomi-
~ nee for Mayor, exploded a shell in
~ the political camp yesterday. The
explosion created alarm in the
ranks of the party to which
Mr.. Wells belongs. Every possible effort
was made last night by the managers of
the late Republican convention to iron
out the wrinkles in the programme, and
several of the leaders went so far in ef-
fort to produce smoothness and harmony
as to challenge the accuracy of a state
ment published in an afternoon paper
that Mr.. Wells threatened to withdraw
from the race if B. P. Flint were not
placed on the ticket for Supervisor
AT the Pleasanton Hotel last evening
Mr.. Wells accorded an interview to The
Call. The chief topic embraced in the in
terview was Mr.. Wells expressed desire
for the nomination of Mr.. Flint. On this
point the nominee for Mayor said:
did send in a request that B. p Flint should
be placed on the ticket for Supervisor and
greatly disappointed when found that he was
not nominated. L was particularly anxious for
his nomination. know him well and appreci-
ate the strong points of his character and know
that he possesses superior ability as a presid-
ing officer.

Mr.. Flint is also a man of fine business at
L
in the commandery We have served together
on important occasions 1 urged him to allow
his name to go before the convention as Il
candidate and he reluctantly-very reluctantly
acceded to my wish. 1 was surprised and some
what indignant when 1 learned that he was
not placed on the ticket. this was the only
request that I made in regard to the Board of
Supervisors. Perhaps in my warmth 1 ex-
pressed my mind too freely to Mr.. Goldberg
and Mr.. Riordan
The interviewer asked: did you signify
that you would retire from the contest
if Mr.. Flint was not put on the ticket for
SUPERVISOR
Mr.. Wells replied: "I did so signify
Concerning w. F. Herrin's connection
with the incident the nominee for Mayor,
responding to questions. said:
1 did not go with Mr.. Goldberg in a carria ge
to see Mr.. Herrin. but it reported to me
that Mr. Herrin said my wishes in this regard
should have been respected. He holds with me
that Mr.. Flint should go the ticket. 1t is a
question now of taking some one off the ticket

is stated that among the papers of President Nc
Kinley there were found upward of 5000 letters re-
questing his autograph. 1t was the custom of the
President to write autographs for applicants when
ever he had leisure, and the applications found among
his papers were those that had come in during the
vacation 1t appears from this that the army of
autograph seekers is even larger than was supposed
