FORT EXPECTS TO
Be DELEGATE To
THE CONVENTION
Governor Says He Does Not Pro-
pose to Withdraw or Allow
Himself to Be Withdrawn.
LFlom a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, March 4.-Governor Fort
today issued the following statement
through his son and secretary, Leslie
r. Fort:
II have in no wise consented or been
conferred with as to any agreement
as to who shall be delegates to the ma
tienal Republican convention from this
State.
81 expect to go as a delegate if the
convention selects me, and do not pro-
pose to withdraw, or consent to any
one withdrawing me, as a candidate
for delegate on any suggestion of my
name for any other affair.
IL do not believe that any persons
can get together in our State and
undertake to say who shall or who
shall not go as a delegate to the ma
tional Republican convention. TIE
days for that sort of political work in
New Jersey are passed."
The statement came ON the heels of
frame-up by party leaders to send
former Governor Franklin Murphy,
State Assessor David Baird and United
States Senators John Kean and Frank
o. Briggs, as delegates large to the
national Republican convention that is
to nominate Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates.
It was stated by party leaders in
the State that Governor Fort would
not go as a delegate. as he would be
put forward for the vice presidency.
The caustic declaration by the Gov
ernor places him in the position of OPP
posing the Baird Murphy Briggs pro-
gram. 1t is even said that the party
bosses were figuring without consult
ing the Governor
In eliminating the Governor from the
slate for the delegates at large, 1t was
held by the men behind the plan that
ii would not be good political judg-
ment' to have him, as he was a candi-
date for Vice President
1t locks now as if Fort and former
Governor John w. Griggs, who is an
other notable not ON the list, woull
join forces to lock horns with the
other Republican State leaders M.
Fort is for Secretary of War Taft tor
President, and Mr.. Grlggs has also .io-
clarcd for him.
The men slated to go to Chicago as
the Big Four are not on record def
nitely, but each is said to be booking
somewhere else than Ohio for presi-
Dental timber.
