Gray May Decline Place on
the Railroad Commission

There appears to be some question as 10
whether Joseph F. Gray will assume the
position of railroad commissioner, after
all.
A dispatch from Savannah Monday stat
ed that Mr.. Gray would only accept the
place ON condition that he could legally
hold his position as vice president and
secretary of the chamber of commerce Of
Savannah.
When Governor Brown was informed of
this fact Monday he expressed consider
able surprise.
II delayed making the appointment in
order to learn if Mr.. Gray would accept
said Governor Brown. About 1880 o'clock
Saturday night I learned from a source
other than Mr.. Gray that he absolutely
would accept, then Immediately gave out
the appointment"
