few days, unless one or the other IS
kept out of the race through a disin-
cination to enter a three-cornered

which gave promise of early develop
ments SO far as the gubernatorial sit
uation is concerned.
Prof Hnemon, after a conference

that ne would probably be candidate,
although he declined to make a defin-
itc announcement as to his plans. At
the same time developments of the day
convinced politicians that Mr.. kava-
naugh is also preparing to definitely
announce his candidacy for governor
: /, fl,.r IoNe M Il
naugh also declined to either confirm
or deny this report
PROF HINEMoN NoNCoMMITTAL.
Prof Hinemon arrived in Little
.,ock yesterday morning and left last
night for his home. He was seen by
Gazette reporter late yesterday af
ternoon at Gleason's hotel, but de
clined to make a definite statement as
to his intentions.
Il will say this much" stated Prof.
Hinemon. "A pressure of great
weight and Importance is being
brougt to bear upon me to make the
race for governor. This pressure and
appeal comes from all parts of the
state and from every class. When
business men. working men and men
from all walks of life urge you to
make a race for governor it is certain
ly d strong temptation, don't you
think?'
"If you cannot say now whether
you will make the race, can you tell
me about when you intend to an
nounce your decision?" was asked.
Prof Hinemon replied that he could
not, but a few moments later dropped
the remark, with suggestive smile,
that there would probably be some
thing unusual breaking in state pol
itics within a few days.
Mr.. Hinemon also indicated that he
thought the coming campaign would
be ''hot one and declared that stat
utory prohibition would be the issue
Present at the time Prof. Hinemon
was interviewed was J. P. Burks, edi-
tor of the Hot Springs Bulletin, and
j. NJ. Wells, a local real estate dealer.
"You can say for me that Prof.
Hinemon will be in the race and that
he will be Arkansas next governor"
was the emphatic declaration made by
Mr.. Burks. "Also Garland county will
roll up a big majority for Hinemon.'
Prof, Hinemon said nothing. Mr..
Wells also indicated that he believed
Mr.. Hnemon would be a candidate.
His friends are going to make an
aggressive campaign declared Mr..
Wells.
AS to the possibility of C. c. Kava-
naugh, former sheriff of Pulaski coun-
ty, entering the race, no positive an
nouncement has been made, but re-
ports which were current yesterday
led politicians to believe that Mr.. Kav-
anaugh would probably be in the race.
Mr.. Kavanaugh has been regarded as
a possible candidate for several
months, but he has steadfastly re-
fused to make any statement regard
ing his probable action. It was re
ported yesterday, howcvrr, that he
would probably make his announce
mcnt w'thir the next few days.
