I cannot say that I will or will not ba-

what good could come of itThis is taken to mean by Louisville lead-

ers of the Republican party that Taylorwill not permit his name to be presentedto the State Convention

Republicans made a statement this after-noon that a movement has beta set on footto bring Col Daniel R Collier into thegubernatorial rate Colonel Collier wasTaylors Adjutant General and the boomfor him Is regarded as a concession in Re-publican circles that Taylors flight fromthe State retires him mom further consideration as a possible candidate this fall
