Fred. r. Fenton tonight denied that
he stated to-day that Gen. r. \. Alger
would announce his candidacy for the Uni
ted States Senate on Monday, TO succeed
the late Senator Mcmillan. He said that
his statement was garbled. He had simply
repeated, he said, a conversation hat he

uatiOn, saying: See me on Monday" and
from this the incorrect statement was de-
rived. Politicians, however, expect that
