 Confirms Recent RumOrs
 The pronounce ments that both men would place nominating petitions in circrlation merely con flrmcd reported developments of the last few weeks on behalf Of the two candidates for governors, but tended moreover to bring the situation to a head today. which is only one week from the date fixed by law for first obtaining signatures to petitions to gct the names on tho ballot at the May primary.
 The gu5crnatorial question pres cnted q similar appearance in the senatorial tangle ill the general prob lem which has beeh causing no little concern to leaders Of the party in the state since word came from William $. Ware at St. Lucie. Fla. that he meant what he said when he de- clared soon after being rejected by the senate. that he was a candidate to the finish.' Senator Joseph E. Grundy is an avowed candidate for election to the office he now holds through appointment by Governor Fisher.
 Officials in Conference i Governor Fisher and W. l.. Mel lon, former republican state chair man, spent an entire day with Secre- | tary of Treasury Andrew w. Mellon at Washington yesterday in an ef- 1 fort to reach a conclusion on the | choice by the state republican or Sanization of the man to run with
 organization support to succeed Mir. l Fisher without reaching an agree
 ment, according to all indications.
