 LIKELY NOW THAN EVER

 It was said and generally believed in New York yesterday that the Hanover bank crowd. meaning chiefly Presi- dent Woodward had been Brought around" and that the merger would soon go through without a hitch.
 President Don H. Bacon of the Tennes- see has been in New York for two weeks and President J. c. Maben of the Sloss- Sheffield company left for New York yes terday afternoon. MT Maben was in New York in February through the thick of the merger excitement. but returned to Birmingham after it had been decided to shelve the merger temporarily.

CITY ELECTION OF
 LITTLE INTEREST
No Opposition Expected to Reg
 uIar Democratic Nominees
JUDGE ABERNATHY TALKS
County and State Politics Will Occupy the Time of the Busy Politicians.
 Jefferson County Leais.
 Iators.

Very little interest Is being taken in the general municipal election which takes place early in May.
 All of the regular nominees of the dem ooratic party for municipal offices will be elected without opposition.
 There has been some talk recently in local political circles of one of the nine nominees for places on the Board of Aldermen having some opposition, by an independent but very little credence Is put in the report.
 Judge II. B. Abernathy, who has been a member of the city democratic execu- tive committee for a number of years, and who has served as chairman of the body several times, and is therefore one of the best informed men on city politics, said last night:
 T have heard it rumored that one of the nominees for place on the Board of Aldermen will be opposed by an inde- pendent, but I do not put any faith in the report. Every nominee from the may or down, will be elected in May, and any suggestion of opposition, in my mind. is idle talk.
 If the opposition should develop, how ever, which is possible but not prob able, Chairman Metcalfe of the city com mittee will call the committee together, and campaign committee will be ap- pointed to work in the interest of the party nominees"
 A. P. Rich, secretary. M E. Green wood, James F. Hawkins, and other members of the committee expressed themselves as believing no opposition to the regular ticket will develop.
 City politics has been laid on the table, for the next eighteen months anyway, and those who desire to indulge in the fascinating pastime of discussing politics. have been forced to take up county and state affairs The county primary elec- tion for the nomination of sheriff, clerk of the criminal court and road super visor, which will be held next spring promises to produce many interesting contests Just at this time the race for sheriff is probably the most interesting of all.
 In connection with the state election. Jefferson county is to elect seven repre- sentatives to the legislature and one rep resentative to the senate. Several names have already been mentioned in connection with these positions, but as yet no an- nouncements have been made, and will probably not be made for six or eight months.
