Richard announced to the Associated
Press this morning that he was in
receipt of a telegram from Morris
Sullivan, of Goldfield, Nevada, that
the Jeffries-J Johnson would be held
there July 4. Sullivan guaranteed
$4,000 to the promoters.
Richard G.. Stoddard, attorney
general of Nevada, today issued the
following statement:
1.-THE legislature having prescribed
certain conditions, which, if proper
ly complied with, permit glove con-
tests, it is beyond the functions of
any executive officer to prevent such
a contest. The legislature made it
lawful to conduct glove contests in
Nevada, and no power except the
legislature can prevent them"
San Francisco, June 17.-"Sulli-
van is an old friend and absolutely
dependable" said Richard. II have
no details, but l know the man and
you can announce that the fight will
go to Goldfield unless much better
offer should come from some other
Nevada city. l think it hardly pos
sible that any other city can raise
Goldfield's bid.

the attorney general to support
