Dr. Wetherbee Only Mayoralty Can didate Seeking Indorsement of That Body Selling and ex Senator Simon Urged to Run. With all but one of the aspirants for the Mayoralty fighting shy of an indorse ment by the Republican assembly, which meets next Wednesday, the question of who will be selected by' that organiza tion as candidate for Mayor is altogether undecided. With the consent of Dr. J. R. Wetherbee; his friends will go before the assembly with numerous petitions in dorsing his candidacy and urge that he receive the recommendation of the as sembly as the proper man for Mayor. Just what influence these petitions will have on the assembly remains to be seen, but it is Intimated in some quarters that the indorsement of this organization will not be given Dr. Wetherbee. It Is reported that Dr. Wetherbee will refuse longer to be a candidate for the nomination if the assembly shall fail to indorse him. Dr. Wetherbee yesterday refused to discuss this phase of the situ ation, although he repeated that he and his friends had concluded to seek the in dorsement of the Republican assembly. For Wetherbee to be turned down by tlie assembly, that some other candidate might be indorsed, would only serve to complicate further an already confused situation. Selling Lying Low. Political gossip also has It that even should Wetherbee be indorsed by the as sembly, friends of Ben Selling will urge him to become a candidate. Selling's friends, however, are awaiting the result of the assembly.

They argue further A delegation waited on ex-Senator Jo seph Simon yesterday and urged him to ask for the Republican nomination for Mayor. The ex-Senator gave his callers no satisfaction. The Kentucky Klick has decided that Judge M. G. Munly is the proper man to be nominated for Mayor by the Demo crats. They are urging Judge Munly to make the race and, if he consents. It is proposed to secure for him the party nomination by writing his name on the ballot in the primary election. . E. C. Mears is being talked of as prob able candidate for Councilman-at-large. To date, the men who are supporting Dr. Wetherbee have taken no steps toward bringing out representative business men as candidates for the Council. One of the conditions under which Dr. Wetherbee agreed to become .a candidate, if he should be Indorsed by the business men. was that in seeking to give the city a business administration, his supporters should see to It that only business men should be selected as candidates for the Council. S. C. Pier last night said that this was one of the details that would receive attention at the proper time. The first thing to be done, he explained, was to secure the desired Indorsement of Dr. Wetherbee's candidacy for Mayor. New York's latest novelties In flna footwear at Rosenthal's.
