Mr.. John W. Gray of Laurel district is
considerably annoyed these days as the re-
suit of reports to the effect that he has re-
tired from the contest for the democratic
nomination for the house Of delegates in
favor of Mr.. Michael j. Tighe, who was a
member of the legislature in 1904. Mr.. Gray
informed a Star reporter last evening thar
the delegation from Laurel district will
support him until the last ditch, and that
he had a. sufficient number of delegates
pledged to his cause to warrant the belief
that he will be nominated. He stated that
Mr. Tighe was one of his strongest sup
porters. and that he had frequently an
nounced his purpose of assisting him in
securing the nomination. Mr.. Gray thinks
the reports that Mr.. Tighe is a candidate
are sent from places other than Laurel by
some one living in Laurel who desires to
do him political injury.
SO general had the report that the repub-
lican convention would be held here yester-
day been spread that about one-half Of the
delegates were in attendance. and there was
lay In placing the ticket in the field. 1t is
expected that Mr. John T. Fisher. chairman
of the adjourned convention, will issue the
call the latter part of this week.
