I hnvo not been In touch with frie Governor and have no reason to believe that I will hear from him. I was approached and asked to sign the nomination papers, but refused." with nil nrenarntlons made for another bitter factlonnl fight similar to that of four years ngo, tho Republican Organiza tion, from the leaders down to tho division workers, Is In n state of unprecedented excitement today, ns a final rush Is being made to illo nomination papers before tho tlmo for filing ends nt 6 o'clock this eve ning. Since Senators Penrose and McNIchol suddenly discovered yesterday that they are facing a fight that may surpass that of 1911. there haa been consternation In tho antl-Varo camp, while Penrose and McNIchol have been trying frantically to fotm their battle lines so as to be ready when tho first shot Is ilred In the Organ ization fight. Nomination papers will bo filed for threo antl-Vare candidates for the mayor alty nomination between today and Fri day two of these candidates will with draw, leaving the final selection of Pen rose nnd McNIchol In the field to fight tho nomination of Congressman Varc, accord ing to present plans ot the antl-Varo leaders. MOORE-ROTAN-EAnLE. The threo candidates from whom the final selection of tho man who will oppose Congressman William S. Vare for tho Organization nomination will bo made nro Congressman J. Hampton Moore, Dis trict Attorney Samuel P. Rotan and George II. Earle, Jr. Moore was In conference with Penrose and McNIchol yesterday and the Pen-rose-McNlchol support was offered htm. Ho reserved his decision and will an nounce it probably today. In the mean time, nomination papers for him will be filed with the County Commissioners. He has tho powerful backing of tho .manu facturers, y Tho stock of District Attornoy Rotan rose several points over night, but per sons In close touch with tho situation today regarded his candidacy more as a threat than anything else. It was pointed out that by sending Rotan Into the fight Penrose and McNIchol would lose the Influence of the District Attor ney's ofllce, except for a short tlmo dur ing the campaign, and would face the almost certain event of the appointment of a Vare man to fill Rotan's unex pired term. An effort was made to find the District Attorney today that he could sign his papers, but It waa reported that he was out of tho city, Frjends of Earle will file paper for him today, and aro "hopeful" that he will be selected th lead tho fight against Con gressman Vare. BTILL TALK HARMONY. While every arrangement Is being made for a fight.' the Ponrose-McNIchoI leaders nro still talking harmony, althoush not as enthusiastically as during the last month. Petitions for two "harmony" candi dates will be filed today, in the forlorn hope that Congressman Vare will with draw at the last minute and the Vnres will unlto with the other Organization bosses behind a "harmony" candidate. Tho two "harmony" possibilities nre Pub lic Service Commissioners Smith and Monaghant,. Congressman Varo filed his nomination papers last Friday, and Is a cnndldato until ha withdraws. The last day for withdrawing Is next Friday, and tho County Commissioners havo ruled that notices of withdrawal must be In their hniids by 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon. If Congressman Varo does not withdraw before that time his name will go on the ballot, and the Organization fight will be on.
