IS AGAINST MOR|ENSEN
STATE TREASURER SEES NO WAY
TO MAKE THE RACE.
WILL WITHDRAW IN FEW DAYS
Mr.. Mortensen Has Said All Along
That He Would Not Make the Race
in Case There Was Any Question
About His Eligibility for Office.

State Treasurer Peter Mortensen
held a conference with his attorneys,
STROBE e Clements, regarding Mr..
Mortensen's eligibility to be governor
of the state, but no official announce
ment will b emade of the outcome of
the conference for few days.
The attorneys have been looking
into the matter of bringing suit to
have the question of Mortensen's eli.
gibility passed upon by the supreme
court, but they have come to the con-
clusion there is no way this can be
done except by quo warranto proceed
ings, which could not be started until
after the election. For this reason it
within few days announce his with
drawal from the race for the repub-
liCan nomination, as Mr.. Mortensen
has said all along he would not be a
candidate should there be any doubt
of his eligibility to hold the office.
Mr.. Mortensen, however, would
make no statement for publication as
ne desired to further consult with
some of his friends before taking any
action.
The decision of the supreme court
in the Coney-Hyland case, which was
to the effect that the court would not
pass upon the eligibility of a candi.
date for office in mandamus proceed
ings, but instead would do this only
in quo warranto, has taken away all
hope of the treasurer getting into
court before the election. Mr.. Morten.
sen, it is believed, feels it would not
be doing the party justice and would
be too severe a handicap to continue
in the race for the onmination with
his eligibility in doubt, and because
of this his withdrawal is expected
within a few days.
