GEORGIANS TALKING OF GETTING
 INTO GUBERNATORIAL RACE

Atlanta, June 12.-(Special.)-Cal will probably be issued within the next two or three days for a meeting of the state executive committee to make preparations for the state primary in August Chairman W. c. Wright says he expects to call the committee together soon after June 20, and the date now figured on for the meeting is said to be June 22.
 While no definite agreement or even tentative understanding has been had with reference 10 the primary date, general opinion puts it about August 20, with d state convention on September for the purpose of carrying out the expression of the primary.
 The primary could not be held earlier than August 5. as under the law 1t must be held not more than 6O days before the state election. which this year falls on October 2. But the legislature will not adjourn until August 14, and as it has always been customary to put the pri- mary date after the legislative adjourn ment. 1t seems generally agreed that Wednesday, Aguust 20, will be the most acceptable and satisfactory date, and IL looks now as if 1t is likely to be chosen.
 1neIc VIII ItH1dlllt lneItlOltt DfllN dnOut 10 weeks for the campaign, which every one is agreed Is enough if not more than enough. The absence of fight over the governorship with indications that there is going to be none of any consequence, has detracted from the interest the cam paign might otherwise arouse, and witl presidential politics at fever heat, added to that as a distre ing element. state politics is occupying far from the usual attention.
 Despite the fact the time Is compara- lively short, several Georgians who hrt with the governorship race every now and then are talking of getting into it

 Attorney General r. S Fielder is still referred to as possibility, but he is say ing nothing.
 Dr. Hardman has always been aligned with the Brown faction, except on the question of prohibition, which is not real ly q factional question
 MT. Covington has generally been aligned with the HolSe smith faction. though he cooled a little. 1t is said, as a result of the senatorial race.
 Mr. Fielder is strongly allied with the Hoke Smith faction. so here is a list of possibilities running all the way between the two extremes
 Notwithstanding all of which, political prognosticators are predicting that there will not be another candidate in the race. And, 1t is said, if Tom Hudson had re mained in two or three weeks longer there would not even have been talk of another candidate
