latest Report Is That Ed. Wasmuth Is Being Groomed for Race. TT1WES BUREAU T STATE CAPITAL1 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 14. Rumors to the effect that Warren McCray of Kentland may not be a candidate for the republican nominatioa for governor after all are i being circulated here. Rumors also are being circulated to the effect that Edmurtti M. Wasmuth of Huntington, republican ( state chairman, is being groomed for the race, j Consequently, those vho thought they had it all doped cut are guessing again. ALL ASS HAKQISO BACK. Although numerous candidates and possible, candidates have been mentioned there seems to be little inclination tn make announcements and to start the race. When Will H. Hays, republican rational chairman, withdrew his name f-r consideration it was stated that Mr. M l Cray in all probability would be a candidate. Now, some go so far as to venture the opinion that Mr. Hays may br: induced to re-enter the race. X-7E31YB01JY JXTST GUESSING. These rumors simply go to show the unsettled condition of affairs. Just what is likely to happen only a few on the Inside are supposed to know. The rest Ere kept gussing. The only thing cert?in thus far is that Edgar IX Bush, lieutenant governor, will be a candidate. His candidacy seems not to be taken furiously; so as it stands, the field is b:1U wide open. . Besides Mr. McCray. Edward Toner of Anderson is probably the most frequentlymentioned possibility but he is not meeting with general favor and it is considered a matter of doubt whether he will decide to make the campaign. VA-EMTJTH A TABMXB There are strong indications that the ttcry that Mr. Wasmuth may be a candidate has some basis of fact. Mr. Wasrr.uth is a farmer as well as a manufacturer and for this reason could be expected to appeal to a large class of voters He Is not as well known as some ro-sible contenders Tor the nomination but his record as a republican has never Veen questioned and with a strong campaign he could be expected to poll heavy vote.
