EITHER TUCKER
OR ANDERSON
Both Will Not Make the Race
for the Gubernatorial
Nomination.

Attorney-G William A. Anderson,
when asked yesterday as TO the report
contained In Il Washington dispatch that
Hon. Henry st. George Tucker, Of Lex
lngton, would probably be candidate for
the Governorship nomination, but that tho
announcement OF his candidacy awaited a
decision on the part of the Attorney
General whether he would enter the race,
stated that he did not know what ME.
fuckers intentions or plans are, but
that both would certainly not be candi-
dates for the nomination..
Major Anderson confirms the statement
that lie has not reached decision as
to his possible candidacy. and adds that
there Is ample time to consider the mat
ter. He stated, however. that there were
no personal reasons affecting his decision,
as erroneously reported. "A great many
the contest said Major Anderson. but
I have not yet positively decided whether
I shall do so or not. My name was re-
peatedly put forward as a possible asplr-
ant for the honor without my knowledge
or sanction, and many of my fr1ends
throughout the State have urged me TO
announce myself. When have decided
the matter / will make an announce
ment, but 1T Is too carry 10 DISCUSS tiio
matter now
Major Anderson stated that m the
event Mr.. Tucker announced his candida
cy he would not enter the re,ce. He spoke
in high terms Of Mr.. Tucker. and de-
clared that he would like to see Mr..
Tucker remain available. Asked what
he meant by available. he explained that
he would regret to see Nlr. Tucker re-
move from Virginia and cease to take
part in public affairs in this State. On
this point Mr. fuckers friends assert
that he will under no circumstances
transfer his residence from Virginia.
While Major Anderson makes no final
announcement on the subject. his friends
are hopeful that he will enter the fight
in 1905. 1t may be inferred from his
statement that he will do so in the event
that Mr.. Tucker does not aspire. but on
this point the Major does not commit
himself positively.
