Governor George W. ?. Hunt, upon
 his return yesterday from the dedica- : tion exercises of the Antelope hill bridge, was asked for a statement bear ing on his attitude toward the recall petition. and said:
 T was notified Sunday. while in Yuma. by the newspaper men that such a petition had been started. While I
 have not yet thoroughly investigated the matter at this time, yet I can say that I am glad to know that the recall proceedings do not represent a general movement upon the part of the voters of the state to discredit me and my administration, but is only the work Of few men who have purely per

 The charges are all glitterirg gen eralities. and contain no specific in- stances of any alleged misdemeanor. I have in my possession some important documents, which will cast some light or the men who seem to be at the head of this affair, and I am going to make these public-and I think they will make Interesting reading When I have had time to more fully investigate the charges embodied in the petition I will have more to say on the subject
