PRIMARY CONTEST IS UNLIKELY

For l*resident on Democratic Ticket in Hoosier State. It is now likely that the Democrats will have no presidential primary contest in Indiana. It seems that the name of Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey was filed here without Edwards s knowledge or consent, and be has notified the secretary of state that he desires his name withdrawn. Mt. Edwards has said that he will not ipermit his name to appear in any state presidential primary. As the namle of Thomas R. Marshall was filed in Indiana only because of the Edwards petition having been filed, it is understood that 'his rame will also be withdrawn, which will mean that the Indiana delegation will be uninstructed to tiuv Democratic national convention.
