POTTER MAY QUIT.
Likely to Drop Out of Race for Rail-
road Commissioner.

Thomas NJ. Potter, who was en-
dorsed Tuesday by the stockmen as
candidate for the state board of rail-
road commissioners, is planning to
make a public statement this after
noon concerning his action on the en-
dorsement. It is stated on good au-
thority that he viii not be a candidate,
for the reason that his candidacy
would be likely to make trouble for
Governor Hoch, who lives in Potter s
county.
Mr. Potter had a conference with
Governor Hoch this morning, but re-
fused to say what action he would
take.
Il will tell all about it in a state
ment which I Will make" he said.
''Win you be a candidate ?"
a man wouldn't be likely to turn
down an endorsement such as was
given him by the stockmen, would
he?" replied Mr.. Potter. Especially
when it was given unanimously, by a
rising vote? ?"
Governor Hoch said when asked
about the matter.
ttMr. Potter is the man to say what
he is going to do. I told him, as I
have always told people in my county,
that I did not want my candidacy to
interfere with the ambitions of any
body else. If Mr.. Potter wants to be
a candidate. I certainly shall not OBJ
ject. I have great respect for Mr..
Potter, and believe he would make a
good railroad commissioner"

larger number who " were against the
proposition. There are two reasons
urged by those who are opposed to the
purchase of the building They claim
in the first place that the building is
in litigation and united for headquar-
ters for the lodge. The second reason
given is that since the order has been
considering the proposition of purchas-
ing the building that the agents Of
the property have incree sed the price
asked for the property from $4,000 to
S31. 600.
At present there are three claimants
for the property and the title is i'm
perfect at that. The property is claim
ed by the receivers for the Devlin
estate. the receivers for the First Ma
tional bank and J. P. Monaghan.
The proposition for purchasing pee
manent home is practically in the sarae
shape that it has been since the mat
ter was first discussed several months
ago. The result of the meeting last
night was that nothing was done and
the committee is as far from a solution
of the question as when the matter was
first broached.
