6 CANDIDATES SHY AT CONFERENCE Gubernatorial Aspirants Unwill* ing to Espouse Suggestion for "Convention" Rumors of Gathering of "The 1,000 Biggest Republicans" Continue to Pile Up With not a single gubernatoral can didate willing to espouse the siigrg^s tion of a conference of "the«l,000 big gct-t republicans in the state," for the purpose of giving a "party indorsement" to a chosen standard boarer, rumors r»'gnr<iiiis such a conference continue to pile up in proportions that presage definite action. <"(iarks F. Curry, before leaving San Francisco Tuesday night for a trip through the Svin Joaquin and the south, stamped ti.e conference idea with his decided disapproval, by declaring him self out of any scheme that might savor ev< n remotely of a convention frameuip. •J am not for anything not in full Accord with the spirit as welk as the letter of the direct primary law." as serted Curry. "An indorsement either by a conference held under the auspices of the state central committee or by ?ny number of republicans, claiming to represent a general sentiment, would be directly oposed to the spirit of the primary law. A candidate has all he can do to keep his own house in order without sanctioning any such confer ence or taking part in one." STAXTOX \OT ENTHUSIASTIC Phil Stanton is not enthusiastic over any plan that, as far as lie i^ concerned, could only result in an elimination party with a possible offer of second place on the ticket as balm for disap pointed ambition, while Alden Ander son, to whom the proposed "party in dorsenient" most likely would be given; is decidedly skepiical concerning the benerits to be derived from such sanc tion of his candidacy. BtliU the conference talk is continu ing with more persistence from day to day. Reports from the southland yes terday were to the effect that it was not alone the reputed buzzing of the senatorial bee that lured Governor Gil lett to Los Angeles, but a desire to spread; the conference idea, over which he is avowedly enthusiastic. Anderson is the governor's choice for the republican nomination, yet An derson is not converted to the idea of wearing the machine label in plain sight, and that Is about what a con ference indorsement would amount to. There is very little hope that the state central committee will be induced to sanction the conference plan, but there sti'l remains the possibility of calling the "1.000 biggest republicans of the state" into solemn concla,v<?. UAfBIXE TI-OT SEEK • " In the Curry camp the proposed con ference is looked upon as nothing but a scheme to promote a packed conven tion of machine men with just enough independents, L,ineoln-lloosevelt leaguers and independent union labor leaders invited to give' it the semblance of a representative gathering. Hiram Johnson, with the backing of the Lin coln-Roosevelt league,- would keep right on with his campaign, in spite 'of any thing the conference might do, and Curry intends , to keep on likewise. Sterling Campbell of Eureka, who \u25a0was expected to arrive yesterday to take active charge of Anderson's state campaign, did not show up at the An derson headquarters, but is expected today or mmorrrtiK. The completion of -a--full state ticket by the LincoJn-Roosevelt league Is. ex pected »t the meeting of the-'ex«.-irtiy* committee to be held in San Francisco Saturday morning, and indorsement of candidates for the various offices on which the league has not already put its stamp of approval is pretty well settled. Grant Taylor of Santa Clara county, who has asked the league's indorsement for supreme court' clerk, is- likely to get it. He- has been for several years a court reporter in the superior courts of the county, and in addition is treasurer of fhe Santa Clara county central committee and secre tary and treasurer of the county repub lican club. AFTER SUMMEHLAXD'S JOB John M. Eshleman, former assembly man from Berkeley, who was instru mental in securing the passage of the anti-racetrack betting bill and is now district attorney of Imperial county, has announced his candidacy to suc ceed Railroad Commissioner Summer land from the third district,' and is practically sure of the league's support for that office. Alex Gordon already has received an indorsement as candi date for the commission from the first district, and Commissioner Loveland probably will win the league's backing as representative from the second dis trict. The state school superintendence is still causing considerable discussion among the leaguers. The sentiment in the south is said to favor J. F. Francis, principal of the Los Angeles polytechnic school, and if he signifies a willingness" to run lie is almost sure of the league's backing. The school superintendency in Los Angeles will be open by the first of next year, however, and Francis may have his eyes on that. The fifth of the republican guberna torial candidates entered the local field Tuesday, whtn three verification depu ties were sworn in to secure sig natures on the nominating 1 petitions of Phil Stanton. Those named were S. A. Bryant of 138 Church street, C. W. Glaze of 1369 Sutter street and H. Glaze of 1123 Guerrero street. Grattan D. Phillips' petition for the noniination for state printer was filed yesterday. It contained 668 names. . The additional registration Monday amounted to 434 names, including 339 republicans. 52 democrats, 30 union la bor affiliations, 5 socialists and 8 who declined to state their preference. Tuesdays registration was practi cally the same as that of Monday, 430 names being taken. Of this number 325 were republicans, 54 were demo crats, 41 were union labor, 3 were so cialists and 7 declined tp state.a pref erence.- . The examination of Judge J. M. Troutt's nomination papers was con cluded yesterday and showed 1.253 sig natures out of the 1,467 submitted.

His telegram is as follows: "I will distribute raisins you may send to whoever you designate. I will take up with proper officials of army and navy question of having raisins en listed as a part of rations. Will not require legislation. Will write/; Owing to. the short space of time be tween now and April 30 it has been decided to call off the proposed freight race from thfs city to New York. and In its stead a race will be inaugurated between Fresno and Chicago. Two firms in Chicago have been re quested to handle the fruit when it arrives. One car,,- of raisins is to. be sent over the Santa Fe and the second car will be sent east over the Southern Pacific. The roads will endeavor to see which can land the car in Chicago first.
