SHANK CROWD
TO DISREGARD
THE CHAIRMAN
Candidates Feel Sighted at
Lemaux's Refusal to AT
tend Farley.
CONDUCT OWN CAMPAIGN

Despite the fact that Irving w. Lemaux,
Republican city chairman, yesterday re-
voked a promise to meet with them. Re
publican city candidates will proceed
with their conference at the residence of
Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican mayor
atty candidate, 3547 East Washington
street, at o'clock tonight Instead Of
the request of Mr.. Shank for Mr..
Lemaux's resignation being the chief
topic for discussion at the conference, as
was originally planned, it appeared that
Mr.. Lemaux's slight Of the entire Re
publican ticket would be talked over at
some length.
As a result of the events Of the last
twenty four hours it looks as If Mr..
Shank will cut himself loose entirely
from the titular head Of the Republican
city organization, and that he will de
pend for election on the proposed Shank
for Mayor Club to which he will rally
the greater part Of the precinct organ
izations. Mr. Lemaux will be left stand
ing alone without an organization, vic
tim of the desperate effort of the News
Jewett crowd to maintain their hold on
the party's framework.
Following a long conference with
Mayor Charles w. Jewett, City Controller
Robert H. Bryson, representative Of the
indianapolis News and others in the may
ors Office Wednesday morning, Mr..
Lemaux made public a letter to Mr..
Shank, in which he stated he was refus-
ing to resign from the craftsmanship and
would not attend the meeting tonight,
hut would call a meeting Of candidates
himself in the near future.
TO LEAVE LEMAUX
OUT IN COLD.
Publication Of this letter brought a
statement from Mr.. Shank, in which he
declared he would go ahead with the
construction Of a personal organization
to put over the Republican ticket in the
fall. leaving Mr.. Lemaux like a captain
without followers. Mr.. Lemaux angered
some of the other candidates, because 1t
was not Mr.. Shank, but all nine OF the
men on the ticket who asked the chair
man to attend the conference.
Walter W Wise, chairman Of the can
dates organization, formed at a meeting
at Mr.. Shank's house two weeks ago,
was the messenger who carried the invi-
tation to Mr.. Lemaux. He said today
he asked the city chairman to come to
the conference on behalf Of AL the can
didates. lie said M- Lemaux understood
this very well and added Mr.. Lemaux
fixed the time for the melting himself.
Il first suggested Monday night" Mr..
Wise said. but Mr.. Lemaux said he
had engagements Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, but said Thursday
would be all right. So we set the date
fr7 that time. just to suit Mr.. Lemaux's
convenience His refusal 10 attend comes
as a great surprise to me"
Mr. Wise indicated whom Mr. Isema,;x
accepted the iiil1Gtion he was very much
IN favor OF holding the conference and
thrashing out the difficulties which had
arisen.
