Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass. October 10.-A morning
paper prints the following today:
John B. Moran has decided to decline his
several nominations for governor. That
apparently was irrevocably his mind up to
the hour of his leaving his private Office
in the Pemberton building for his home
last night. The strongest kind of pressure
will be brought to bear upon him today,
but he resisted all pressure yesterday. 1t
was all that some intimate friends could
do to prevent him writing and sending out
public statement last night. His per-
sonal wishes are to get out Of the contest
for governor entirely. He will not be the
candidate Of the independence league or
the democrats or prohibiton1sts.'
Another morning paper says: John B.
Moran stated at midnight that he intends
to run for governor of Massachusetts, on
the platform adopted by the democratic
state convention, but not upon the resolu-
ton adopted by the convention indorsing
William Jennings Bryan for president"
Moran's Statement.
Mr.. Moran has given out the following
statement in reply to the many things that
have been published about him: There is

I visited Mr.. Hearst for the purpose of
asking him for financial aid or for any
kind of assistance. Any statement printed

falsehood."

Methods of Filing Freight Tariffs Con-

A. B. Stickney Of the Chicago North
western railroad spoke before the interstate
commerce commission today on the Ques-
ton of freight tariffs and the methods that
would be necessary in getting up a uni
form schedule and in filing 1t before the
interstate commerce commission.
The hearing on freight schedules has been
continuing several days, and is likely to
occupy the most of this week. 1t Is q
matter of great Importance to the railroads,
for it will involve the expenditure of much
money If any change Is made in the meth
DDS in vogue on the different railway lines,
but it Is assured that considerable changes
will have to be made as the freight tariff
business is in a very mixed up condition,
and If there is change it will be to the
advantage of all concerned to have uni
form system for making up schedules and
for filing them with the interstate commerce
commission.
The discussion, however, is wholly techni-
cal and Of little interest to the general
public.
