-Four Candidates
In Field.

FRANKFORT. KY, Jan. 1.-The four
candidates for the Senate from Kentucky
that is the four Democratic candidates,
for there are no others-will tell you can
didly, each with an honest expression. Il
was never more confident In my life. .
BUT the truth is that it is McCreary
against the field. and the field as yet
showing no signs of a combination. and
each man shifting for himself.
Ex-Gov James B.. McCreary has more
pledged votes than any other, and Rep
resentatiye Charles X. Weeler is close
second. hotly pursued by Representative
David II. Smith, with Circuit Judge James
E. Cantriil bringing up the rear. No can

first ballot

!, Dar. Horse Renewed.

James X. Hendriek, former Representa-
tive from the First district, announced
his candidacy for Governor today. That
removes him as possibility as dark
horse in case the Senatorial fght resulted
in deadlock or combination of the two
western Kentucky candidates against Nc
Geary.
There has been no show OF strength and
it is too early TO make predictions, but
McCreary has the better Of the fight as it
slnnds.
The Washington times., 1902-01-02
Claim Second Ballot.

Friends of Mr.. McCreary claim second
choice will carry the day for him. That
is more than the others can say with
truth, and it is believed Mr.. MeCreary
counts, in few instances, hopes, as
votes. At any rate. it will not be the
first or the second ballot which will set
tic the contest.
In time, there. will be talk of dropping
the hindmost candidate, after the ballot
ting begins. but meantime, there is also
talk of combination to defeat MeCreary-

Russell Rea U2adicaD, a ship owner and

Mr.. Balfour in reply said no announce
ment of policy could be made except
after prolonged and anxious considera-
ton Of the complicated problem Under
the present arrangements the subsidized
ships remain In the service of the adj
miralty for another two years. and the
Government would be blameable if in
the interim it could not either negotiate
a. continuance Of the existing arrange
nents or make others equally service
able to the admiralty and the country.
Meanwhile the Government did not pro-
pose on the spur of the moment to an.
nounce any departure from the tradi-
