MAYOR HINTS HE

Carson Points Out That There
is Yet Plenty of Time to
File Candidacy.

Following Dr. Richard r. Dug
dale's announcement Monday that he
may not enter the May primaries as
the city Administrations candidate
for the republican mayoralty nom
ination. and that II he does enter
the race IL will be without city hall
prediction promises. Mayor Carson
Tuesday intimated that he may enter
the race for the nomination himself.
There is plenty of time for me
TO file If I decide 10 enter the race
for reelection" said the mayor Tues
day. The mayor declined TO make
any comment on DR.. Dugdale's an
nOuncement Monday.
The mayor was also reticent re-
garding the reported imminent dis
ruption in city hall political circles
over the ignoring Of certain mem
bers Of the administration in the
conferences recently TO name a city
administration standardbearer.
The mayor, however, appeared
rather hectic over what he termed
the wrong attitude OF newspapers to-
ward his administration.
The papers certainly won't give
me their support if / do run" he
said.
The city's chief executive failed to
make any mention Of his reported
threat TO remove Chief of Police
Kline if the latter does not in turn
remove Mrs. Ella Sholly from her
present position as special police
woman, to which position she was
appointed two weeks ago by the
board Of public safety.
