FRIEDMAN TO QUIT
AS STATE SENATOR?
(By Spellier In Gazette)

Reports from Pershing county are
to the effect that the candidacy of c
Uniacke for state senator from tina
county resulted from an understand
ing between himself and Senate
Friedman that the latter will resigl
just prior to election, leaving the fell
open for the election of Uniacke. Uni
acke is a Democrat and Senate
Friedman always has been REGARDED
as such, although there have beer
rumors of late that he has switched
to the Republican ranks. Uniacke wa!
instrumental in putting the bill Great
ing Pershing county through tn,
that time he was an assemblyma4
from Humboldt county.
For several weeks a report has beer
current that there was a breach o
faith on the part of Tasker L.. Odd
with Brewster Adams which led t.
the two being opposing senatorial
candidates., it being sought to estab
lish that Adams announced his can
didacy only after having been assured
by Oddie that the latter would NJ
seek the nomination. On this mis-
representation they seek to hang
report that there is a great deal 0
i'll feeling between Adams and Oddi
and the supporters of each.
No such condition existed and fee
ing of cordially between what wer
opposing factions in the primar
campaign is pronounced. Oddie an
Adams had a complete understandin
about the matter some time befor
either of them made a definite ar
nouncement. Adams had a~pproache
Oddie about the report hat Oddie in
tended seeking the nomination an
eddie assured him that he ha
reached no definite decision about tn
matter, admitting that he was givin
it serious consideration. There we
no bitterness in the campaign b.
tween Adams and Oddie and there IS
no question but what Adams and hi
supporters will help, almost to a MAJ

IS NATIONS IN EVENTS
List for Olympic Athletics May Be
Increased if Month in Advance
Rule Not Enforced.

ANTWERP, July 15.-Entry lists
for the athletic events in the Olym-
piad, which closed yesterday and were
issued today by the executive COM
mittee, show only eighteen countries
entered. Acceptances. however, were
received from several others, includ-
ing France, Norway, Australia, New
Zealand and Japan. but their lists
have not arrived. either because OF
mail or cable delays or clerical errors
Mexico have failed to appear in the
list.
1t is the general opinion in Olympic
circles that the rule calling for the
closing of the entries one month be-
fore the events take place will not be
too closely enforced, as clerical er-
rors have been frequent and it is
known that mails, particularly those
from the far east, have been greatly
delayed. The nations listed for the
athletic contests are Canada, Chile,
Egypt, Denmark, Spain, the United
States. Finland, England, Greece. Hol-
land, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland. South
Africa, Sweden, Switzerland. Czecho-
slavokia and Esthonia. Lists of indi-
vidual competitors are as yet not
available.
Fourteen countries will compete. in

twelve in the Greco-Roman wrestling,
eleven in catch-as-catch-can wrest-
ling and thirteen in rowing. AL
though the entries for Rugby football
will not close for two weeks, not a
single contestant has been listed, and

be abandoned.
