ly circulated tonight that Phelan stands
ready to accept the leadership Of the
party in California and will allow
his name to go at the head of the
ticket. Contrary rumors are rife that
he cannot get into politics this year.

the convention does. He has had about
all the honors that the party can be-

and inaugurated as Governor.

Bell of Napa have been close friends

sip to the effect that Geary is in no
pleasant frame of mind in view of the

congressional to the gubernatorial field.

be elected to Congress in the Second,
