that lanes 4. Chandler the well
known undertaken in this city and re-
Gently coroner of New Castle county,
was being urged by some of his
friends to announce. himself as a can
didate for Mayor on the Republican
ticket
Mr. Chandler was seen today by a
reporter of THE A EVENING JOUR-
NAL and he was asked If he had been
considering the matter. He replied
by stating that be had been approach
ed a number of times during the past
week by Republicans who desired him
to run for the Office Tie told them
no; and that in his opinion this cleo
ton was one in which there should
be no contest at the primaries. The
best man should be picked for the
Office and he be given the united sup
port of the party.
Il feel that | could do no good at
this time by entering a contest and
that man older and more experience
ed than myself would be preferable.
The best man should be supported
and insist on a good administration"
