Six-twenty Fifth Avenue J VAit Rflieth Street EDWARDS IS OUT OF ALL PRIMARY LISTS "Wot" Governor,, ThougVIs a Receptive Cnndidato for the Nomination. Taking his cue from .tho course adopted by William O. StcAdoo, Gov. Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey has decldedtthat ho will not consont to Be come n candldato In the preferential primaries of any State for the Demo cratic nomination for President. Tho "wet" Governor, whoso fight against tho Eighteenth Amendment has led similarly minded members of tho party to rally to his Btandard In various parts of the country, declares the con vention ehould be free to choose tho man who beet represents the principles for 'which the party stands. Frankly the Governor acknowledges that he will do nil ho can toot Uie convention to stand ajjatnst .the prohibi tion amendment and to incorporate thnt opposition In tho platform. Furthermore ho points out that no ono can de cllno nomination for tho Presidency, In timating that he might bo willing to run. If the party adopted the principles for which he stands. Oov. Edwards's name had been filed in the Presidential primaries In Indiana, Illinois nnd Michigan and petitions were all ready for filing In Nobraska, Ho lias sent word to each Stato asking that his name bo withdrawn. From Nebraska last night camo the story that tho withdrawal of Edwards thero nt least had been out of courtesy for United States Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, who himself Is to be a candi date for the Nebraska preference. Senator Hitchcock voted against tho Eighteenth Amendment nnd his friends thought It was not clubby for Edwards to oppo.se him In his own Stato.

' HEARST REFUSES TO HEAD THIRD PARTY He Gives Advice, However, on Best Candidates. In a signed editorial In the New York AmeHcan this morning William Itan dolph Hearst nnswers all thoso who havo called upon him to head a third party movement or who havo foreshad owed such a courso by htm. Ho declares his personal opinion that ho can best servo tho progressive cause "by editing progressive newspapers nnd supporting genuinely progressive candidates wher ever nominated." Mr. Hearst believes progressive citi zens should make an effort to obtain tho nomination of a gonulno progressive candidate by one of tho old parties or by each party. Ho suggests a man like Senator Hiram W. Johnson or Senator William H. Uornh for the Itepubllciin ticket, or like Senator James A. H"m or Ilalnbrldge Colby for tho Ucriioorats. Thero Is tho reservation that Mr. Colby does not mibmerre his "naturally pro gresslve views In the purely Wilson policies." But, "If the Republican party shouid nominate a reactionary llko Harding or Lowden" or the Democrats a "rca-tlon-ary or a representative of the pretent administration, which has proven such nn abject failure," or If they should nominate men like Wood or Hoover, "who nro the favorites of tho Interna tional bnnkors nml the approvod candi dates of Great Urltnln's Impertinent in termeddling in our affairs, then tho citi zens of progrosslvo thought in both tlm old parties ohould certainly unite to elect a candldato of their own."
