GOV. MCCALL NOT IN
 PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Bay State Executive Wires Minnesota Secretary of State To Remove His
 Name From Primary Ballot

Boston, Feb. 2.-Gov. Samuel w. Mccall yesterday joined the company of those who are declining to be early candidates for the presidency when he sent the following telegram to Julius Schmall, secretary of state in Minnesota:
 T appreciate the honor of being proposed as a candidate in the Mime sota presidential primaries but l respectfully request that my name be not printed on the primary ballot, Samuel w. Mccall"
 The governor said it merely was his answer to the rumors that have been in circulation recently that he was going to allow his name to be used in the primaries in the northern state. The governor had to submit to a broadside of questions after he had sent the telegram which finally led up to this ,"GOvernor are not you afraid of this removing you from being a presidential possibility" MT. Mccall leaned back, said he was crossing "only one bridge at a time" and be- came uncommunicative.

 canal zone, Major General Goethals, governor of the zone, and Brigadier General Clarence R. Edwards, com lnanding the troops there, were photographed together. Their smiles seemed to indicate that all was peace between them, despite the reports of serious differences of an official nature between the two officers. The tales were denied by both officers. It had been asserted that Governor GOethals has objected to remarks of

Circuit Judge Ashford today as.
signed the kuhio case to break Queen

ing to an end controversy in which
nearly half score Of local attorneys
have participated for the last week. :
The question as to which judge

in Judge Ashford's court at 9 O'Clock
this morning for a,idefinite solution.
Present in court were Attorney 10

ry, representing Queen Liliuokalant
Ashford May Be Witness. - i. ....~..
Attorney Wilmington said he was of
the opinion the case was technically
pending in Judge Stuart's court, and
added that it was the desire of the
representatives of the delegate that
the case remain in Judge Stuart's
court. He also said that there is a
possibility that Judge Ashford will be
called as a witness during the trial.
The. attorneys for the trustees asked
that, If an assignment was to be made
the case be given to Judge Whitney,
but this brought out the objection
that Attorney E. W. Sutton, one OF
counsel for the trustees, is brother
in-law of Judge Whitney. ~.
Attorney Wilmington stated that
Judge Whitney should not be given
the case for the reason that, at the
time of the expiration of his term
there was an understanding that he
would become associated with the law
firm of which w. O. Smith, one of the
trustees, is head. In reply to this,
Attorney Warren declared that any
such understanding now is thing OF
