Explicit Statement of His Atti- tude Comes With Out.and. Out Endorsement By
 Manufacturers And
 Merchants. BEST GOVERNOR IN YEARSI Colonel Ullman Mistaken in His Speech at Ninth Ward Din. i ner-Declines to Com
 ment on Governors Statement.
BEST GOVERNOR IN YEARsI

Governor Woodruff's positive ana nouncement. which will be found be-sl low. that he is ready to run again forI governor If he Is placed in nominations Is the sensation of the hour. It is thel conclusion of veteran politicians anh1 observers that Colonel Isaac M Uu-j mans speech at the annual banquet oN| the fighting Ninth ward orgapisation| was the straw which broke the carnel'd, back and made further reticence, im4 possible on his part
 As interpreted between the lines theI Ullman speech, which was not entirely| free from ill-suppressed irony. read to the effect that he would know if any-, body knew whether the governor was, a receptive candidate or not and that as he knew nothing of the kind 1t was nonsense to talk about renominating him. It was this attitude which put gimp into the personal and political friends of Woodruff and galvanized their determination to clear the way for first rate fight if the organiza- tion wishes one. They finally were successful in making it clear to the governor that word from him must be forthcoming or all of their efforts in his behalf must be abandoned and listless opposition offered the Lilley bargain. Put up in the shape 1t was put up to him there was but one thing to do and he has done 1t.
 The demand for the renomination of the governor is becoming spontaneous all over the state. Judging from tho number of communications received lay him from day to day.
 The statement yesterday was plain one and left no doubt in anyone's mind, not even in Col Ullman's, that MT. Woodruff would run again. Tho New Haven merchants who have de- manded his renomination from the start were especially pleased.
 Col. Ullman was shown the states ment of the governor yesterday after- noon, but said he had not read 1t, nor had he time to read 1t at present. From another source 1t is learned that Col. Ullman has said that If Mir. Woodruff will run again he shall have the support of the entire New Haven delegation without question.
 A statement of endorsement which has been taken to some of the larger firms of the city and which today will be taken to more of them, has been signed by those approached without exception. The statement demands tho renomlnation of the governor, recom- mends that all law-abiding citizens do all In their power to cause a Woodruff
