Democrats here and friends of Mr.
Conn deny that he carried any sore
spots beyond the day of the nomination.
One Democrat here, who worked hard
for Conn back in March and who was
one of his mana gers, declared posi-
lively yesterday that Conn will repudi-
ate the Neal statement just as soon as
il reaches him.
The Independence party will hold its
state convention August % and 1t is
announced that Mr. Hearst will be
here and make a speech. 1t is recalled.
however that on two former occasions
within few months. it was announced
that the New York editor politician
would be in Indianapolis to confer with
members of the party financed by him
and that each time he failed to appear.
On both occasions disappointment was
felt by some fifteen or twenty persons
who would have been attracted by the
announcements. 1t is recalled that a
big bunch of advertising was done the
second time to get crowd togethre
but that in all there were not more
than two dozen persons at the confer
ence held in the English hotel and con-

HASN'T Many Followers.
The truth is, the independence party
has no followers hereabouts, and eff
forts to make the contrary appear the
truth have failed. Certain newspapers
! have made it appear that Hearst has
many admirers in Indiana and Indian
! apolis. He may have outside of this
1 city, but they do not get to town often.
J The headquarters at the English are
! seldom open. Occasionally Neal or r.
NJ. sherwood gets busy and gives out
an interview purporting to contain
| some important announcement. After
these interviews are printed, those re-
sponsible for them clip them out and
send them on to Hearst, who write
! back and commends them for keeping
things boiling and promoting the in
terests of the party. There are three
or four men claiming loyalty to the
New Yorker and they no doubt are be-
ing well paid for their efforts to in
duce disgruntled members of both par
ties to join them.
1t is safe bet that Hearst will not
attend the State convention and thai
Conn will not be nominated fol
governor. The advertising has beer
gained, however. and that is as much
perhaps. anybody expected.

DISPUTE
INDEPENDENCE MAN
Declare That Col. Conn Will Not be a Candidate For
Governor But Hearst Leader Says That
He Will

Indiana polls. July 23.-Democrats
here dfscredit the statement of indie
pendenCe party leaders that c. c. Conn,
of Elkhart former Congressman, ex
mayor and multimillionaire manufac
turer, will be their candidate for gov
ernor in the coming campaign. The
Democrats smile at the idea and insist
that with the Independence men the
with that Col Conn would make the
race against James z. watson and
Thomas r. Marshall is father of the
thought. Republicans, too, doubt the
authenticity of the report concerning
Conns candidacy
The statement. however. came from
a no less reliable source than Charles
+. S. Neal of Lebanon. who is the
right hand man in Indiana of William
Randolph Hearst and the probable vice
presidential candidate on the indie
pendence ticket. Mr.. Neal did not quib-
BILE or use doubtful words but simply
said: You are authorized to announce
on my authority. that the Independence
party will choose as its candidate for
governor, Col. Charles G. Conn, of Elk
hart"
May Not Accept.
The Independence party may do this
but there is no assurance from Mr..
Neal or anyone else that Col. Conn will
accept the honor forced on him The
Thirteenth district man is now at the
Saint Catalina island catching big fish
So far as known, none of the Hearst

say whether Conn has been consulted

| This much is true-Conn does not
