Exactly one week from today Nicola Succo and Bartolomeo Van zetti's seven-year battle to es cape death for murder, which has had echoes in every coun try on the globe, will end in the electric chair at the Charles--town state prison j unless their counsel can discover an avenue of appeal to the federal courts. That possibility is admitted ly a slender one. i . ! Governor Alvan T. Fuller last night, in a 2500-word de cision, definitely closed their last hope of escape thru inter vention of the judicial or exe cutive branches of the govern ment of the commonwealth 'by rejecting their plea for clem ency. i- , . The governor declared , he concurred with the jury which tried them in 1921, in the be lief they were the murderers of Frederick A.

He further asserted that the trial of the two men had been fair and just and that he saw 'no reason for granting . them a rehearing.

NO DOUBLE MEANING Field Regarded Clear for Other Candidates and State Pledges Are Made Easier. (.VftMwiutifl I'ross !.rairl Wire) RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 4. The opinion that President Cool idge's slutement that he does not "choose" to run for president In 1928 might have more than one meaning dwindled further in the summer capital today and the be lief had become almust positive that he has unequivocally elimln-1 ated himself from occupancy of the White House alter March 4, Unlike Washington,, where a more rounded opinion always Is obtainable on any public question i of the first importance, opinions which are reached in Rapid City must necessarily be passed upon the impressions of the few who understand the president more In timately. i In some quarters closest to Mr. Coolldge, there is next to nothing being said, but when the shreds of information, are. put together. It becomes rather plain that hero no double meaning is accredited to the president. 17-1 . Three Reasons Cjied ' "" Several reasons for this' belief come most prominently to' the fore in Rapid City First, it' Is pointed out, Mr.' 'Coolldge could scarcely have used any other than the word choose" in. making his' pronouncement and still keep the country from thinking him to be presumptive to the extent of. be lieving the nomination next year actually was his.' Had he said; "I will not run for president in 192S,", he would have presumed, it' Is held, that the Republican convention would nominate him. Second, it is declared by those in regular touch with the president that by his statement Mr. Coolldge closed the door to pledged dele gates from some states which hold their primary election before the national convention. In th o s e states, it Is necessary for an nspir. ant to cerlffv himself In order to make a pr'morv ritfrt'on result le. gal. It is held thtt If the president had any deslm whntsoever to con tinue in the While House, he would not have r"e out of his way tQ eliminate himself In these elec tions. pouth Dakota is one of (he states with these primary election laws.
