| dates just to take a rap at the candidate
for mayor. There was no doubt in the
Iain6 of any of the candidates that Mr..
| Lemaux got his orders to make such a
move from the mayor, and very little
doubt that the mayor received directions
from the Indianapolis News, since the
representative of the paper sat in" on
the proceedings around the mayors
office Wednesday morning. Nj. Lem
aux's letter to Mr.. Shank was prepared
in the mayors private office. it was IN
derstood. Mr.. Lemaux, himself, said
it was available for distribution to the
/ newspapers at the mayors office early
in the afternoon. In fact IL was given
out for publication long before it reached
Mr.. Shank.
Refusal Of Mr.. Lemaux to resign did
not create much of a stir in the Shank
camp, for preparations to build an or
ganiZation around him were launched
! Immediately. DIR. e. e. Hodgin, one Of
Mr.. Shank's chief campaign managers in
the primary, will head the new Repub-
lican organization, it was generally un-
derstood. Headquarters for the club
will be opened soon. Mr.. Shank an
nOunced.

Il do not see why Mr. Lemaux felt
called upon to send me this letter refus-
ing to meet with the Republican can
didates. did not invite him. That %.;s
done by the chairman Of the RepUnli AN
candidates.
Il am not concerned in the le2st about
Mr.. Lemaux and the stand he has taken
in refusing to resign as Republican city
chairman. He can do as he pleases. We
are going ahead and renting rooms for
headquarters, irrespective Of What be
may do.
Il DO not intend to answer his let
ter. had nothing TO do with tie inv
tstion for him to meet with tie candi
dates, nor had l anything to do with
fixing a time or place for such a meet
ing. I am not going TO recognize him
in any sense of the word. We are 60
ing ahead with our organization just
the same as if nothing ever happened"
WILL RECOGNIZE
Robson CAMP.
In building the new organization
place will be made for men from all fac
tions Of the party who desire to affili-
ate. Mr.. Shank said he was going to
try to get Carney Sells, who had active
charge of the headquarters Of Edward
J. Robson during the primary campaign,
into his organization. A number of other
Robson leaders also will be taken in,
il was understood.
Discussing Mr.. Lemaux's letter. Mr..
Shank summed up his determination to
go ahead without recognizing the city
chairman with the statement: II don't
propose to throw down thousands of my
friends for the friends OF Charlie Jewett.
II any man In Indianapolis thinks ! am
going 20 bow to Lemaux, the tool of
Jewett, Roemler, Lemcke and Bob Bry-
son they are mighty badly mistaken, be-
cause the people Of indianapolis voted
for me just in order to get rid Of that
crowd"
