Governor-Elect Declines To Live In New Mansion.

Indianapolis, Nov. 14. —That the state should not accept the residence at Fall Creek and Pennsylvania street, which was donated by the city of Indianapolis for the governor’s mansion, is the belief of James P. Goodrich, governor-elect, who will not live in the house during his term of office. Goodrich believes each governor should be allowed to select his own home. He says some men in the future may not be financially able to furnish so large a house. The city purchased the property to make room for Fall Creek boulevard. An act of the legislature is necessary to make the transfer formal. Goddrich left Sunday night for New York, where he will’spend several weeks on business. In the meantime Mrs. Goodrich will seek living quarters in Indianapolis.
