NO SIGN THAT LoRIMER'LL QUIT
Going to Washington, He Says, To
Look After interests

Chicago, May Ex-senator William
Lorimer today personally gave indi-
cation that he had no intention of re-
signing in the immediate future. He
visited his Office in the Lasalle Street
National bank at noon for the first
time in several days, and while he
declined to discuss the visit OF Vice
President Sherman he said that his
health was so much improved that he
intended going TO Washington within
day or two to give his personal at
tention TO a number OF matters in
which he is interested.
This is construed by his friends to
mean that he is going TO fight TO the
finish.
In the light OF direct statements by
William Lorimer Jr., who with Attor
ney Elbridge Hanecy. met Vice Pres
ident Sherman at the Englewood sta
ton, that his father was not a quit
ter" business associates tonight said
no other construction could be placed
on the statement OF Lorimer himself
Lorimer walked slowly and seemed
tired. He was accompanied by his
two sons. one of whom walked on
each side of him.
In expectation of early develop
ments in the Lorimer case, a move
ment was started today to postpone
the sine die adjournment OF the state
legislature which had been set by the
Senate for June 5. so that 1t may
elect a successor to Senator Lorimer
in the event OF a vacancy.
