nothing but this action would prevent
Mr.. Gaynor's nomination by the demo

II am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Dix, stating that am not 4
candidate for nomination for governor.
and refuse to become such do this to
remove all doubt ON the subject which
may have arisen by reason. Of irrespon-
sible statements which | am informed
have been circulated. No utterance Of
mine has put the matter in doubt.
Some have said TO me that the conven-
ton may nominate me, although am
not candidate It seems to me that
il might appear violation or egotistical
for me 10 assume in my letter to Mr..
Dix that that extraordinary thing might
happen. l therefore write this supple
mental letter to you to take to Roches-
ter and show there so as to prevent
my nomination # il should appear to
be imminent. Make It plain that II

ping OF the "deathwatch" stood for

um and their bigger relatives OF the
genus xestobium not only attack furni
ture. but 50 completely riddle the
whole woodwork Of old houses by their
borings as to render the structures I'M

tenanted by these insects for a num-
Der Of years Is little better than an

is IN the habit OF making a tapping
sound.
The nocturnal tapplngs Of these In

where there Is an otherwise complete

ries been regarded By the supersti-
tious as a warning Of the approach OF
death. This uncanny Interpretation Of
q mysterious sound Is scarcely surpris-
ing when Il II remembered that only
10 recent years have naturalists dis
covered It's true cause.
