 CLARE HIS POLITICS

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 26.-Her- bert Hoover Informed the Demo- cratic State Committee of Georgia that he did not feel that any public service would be performed by the entry into the Presidential contest there, and consequently did not in- tend to file his name for place on the Georgia primary ballot.

Supporters of Hoover had filed peti- tions to have his name placed on the Democratic ballot for the Pre- sidential nomination at the State primary election.
