turbed over Judge Hillyer's determina-

to his constituents that he was in the

the race. He gave assurance of this
in a statement made public Saturday
asserting that his friends over the state
had insisted that he abandon his idea
of retirement.

derstood that he really believed Judge
Hillrer was not to run when he sent
letters over the state announcing him

had no idea. he told The Georgian to-
