Judge Spencer B. Adams says he is.

members Of his party in the city: he
is waiting for the situation to CARLY
itself before taking the public into his
confidence. The same applies to the
Republican congressman; they are all
sitting in the boat, saying and doing
nothing. Representative Grant says
he hasn't a candidate, and Represen-

candidacy Of Thomas Settle, which he
says he will not desert.
