GORMAN DECLINES.
Will Not Accept Craftsmanship &
National Committee.

Washington July Ex-senator Cor
man was in the city yesterday and
his attention was called to a state
ment purporting to have been made
by a member of the Democratic ma
tional committee to the effect that
there is still a possibility that he
might accept the Craftsmanship.
Mr.. German stated he had frankly
informed all who had made such a
suggestion that it would be impossi-
bic for him to undertake the labors
incident to that position, and that he
now desired to add that no conditions
will arise which would induce him to
change that determination. He will.
however, he said, be very glad to
render all the service in his power to
those who may be selected to take
charge of the campaign. which he
fully believes will be crowned with
success.
