One man ! waiting on the other fellow to move and conse quently no open moving is being done, but It is freely predicted that even by to-morrow the name of two or more candidate for the office of the chief executive of the city will be be fore the people for their considera tion. ' The race may possibly be one of those tnree-curiicicu ...... which are somewhat unique ior lotte, but none too fast or furious for the political -speed which has been Jnade here in other years. The his Ery of the local political situation has been that of a dual engagement. The two factions would agree to put up a Binrle man and allow the people to take tlr choice between the two. During the last municipal election, the situation was materially changed. Mr. 6. 6. McNtnch being elected with out opposition. This was an almost Inexplicable proceeding It wai . much of a diversion, on?, indeed, which ts afforded about once In a lifetime. LOOKS LIKE TWO MEN. While the possibility of a three cornered affair is not altogether re mote developments yesterday Pnt" 1a to an elimination of everybody those names hav. been mentioned with the exception of Messrs.

It Is understood that strong pressure has been brought to bear upon Mr. M Call to roll up his sleeves and net In the game, despite the fact that he has stated innumerable times that he did not want the Joh. Hull more Inter esting is the Intimation that ex-Mayor B 8 McMncn. wno wan talked ovpt town as a probable can didate, has now arren to drop from the list of -prospectlves" and to throw his support entirely to the aid of Mr. McCall. This Is not an unexpected turn In the tide of events exce.pt the fact that Mr. McCall is the iman to be chosen by the opponents of Mr. Haw kins. MOVEMENTS AUK AII. SECR ET. The movements In the political world which have been made lnce the election have not taken place In the open. Agreements are being made In secret and it Is said that a definite understanding exists that Mr. McCall will be the avowed candidate of the old charfr crowd, although Mr. Hawkins was also aalnst the new form of goernment which was sprung by the committee of one hundred. Mr. McCall's candidacy eliminates Mr. McNineh. Mr E. K. Preston and Mr. Brevard N'lxon. who It la said. Is very anxious ta make- the rac In- the event that Mr. McCall will not con Sent to run. it looks as if the latter would be constrained to oppose Mr. Hawkins. Mr. MoCall wis telephoned last mini nv a I isti'i i " ' but declared ne had. nothlnK definite to say in regard to his candidacy. "I have been h-smiht by a num her of my friends to enter the race.' Tn wild, but I have not finally con aented. I "ill probably make up my mind to-morrow l do not want tho position and really haven't the time to devote to its dutiep, but I will not say whether 1 will or will not be a candidate." It is still jjeni-fHlly .mderstood that Mr. Hawkins will run. His numerous friends In the business world will not ellow him to withdrew. He has Riven an exhibition of his eminent fairness and impartiality dunnt; the present administration in tin capacity of a member of the board ol public serv ice and ha drawn a larKe following to him.

C. of lta official records and a memorial tablet to the minister who founded the parish. The case is the most peculiar which has come under local observation ln a long time. A telegram was received by the Charlotte police yesterday from the capital of South Carolina asking that the man be arrested. Policeman Elgie McCall. accompanied by Mr. J. H. Orr, set out on the case and ln a short time had him located, stopping at the house of a colored woman. In his grip were all the books of the church and a bronse tablet to the memory of Rev. Harvey Orln Judd. who uied In 1906. The prisoner claims that the church property waa willed to him, together with owner's daughter, by Ita former owner and that It was agreed that $J0 a month rent should be paid for th nrooertv. which is close In. He has been Janitor there, getting $10 a month and hlo Job gave htm access to the books. By means of civil suit, he sajs. he secured the title some time aifo.

This is the lust day of the can vass for contributions to the 20th or May celebration as planned. All members of the finance committee will report to-night at 8:30 o clock In the ofllce of the club ln the selwyn Hotel Building to the central commit tee. No calculation nas been maue of the total amount ln hand, but the members have been making good pro gress. The committee doslres to say that If anyone has been overlooked ln the matter of solicitation, the omis sion is merely one of oversight and such person Is reilurslefl to halt tnn first member of the committee he sees and entrust to his keeping a gen erous portion of the 'iong green." Thus far the citizens have been com ing across nicely, occasionally a man will waylay a committeeman and separate himself from a $100 bill. The celebration which has been plan ned, however, will be ..xceedlngly ex pensive and It Is necessary that every man do his duty. If the people of Chnrlotte continue to do their duty to-day as In the previous days and a little more so the committeemen hav small fears that they will not be able to make a favorable showing to-night.

Harris, who one time ran for Governor of North Caro lina, was onea a student at Tale. About the time Charlie entered the freshman claaa, there was a noted, not to say celebrated prise fighter, named Dooney Harrta. Mr. Harris was' promptly dubbed by the students and so known throughout his collet term by his familiars, as "Dooney" Harris. He did not !tae the nicknams, hut he could not help himeelf. In the mountains of North Carolina where h lives, he haa been congratulating himself that he had ehaken the nick name "Dooney." The other day in Washington, however, when he went up with the delegation of Tar Heels to Invite President Tat to come eown and help celebrate the Mecklenburg Declaration, when Mr. Harris, wno waa in tne line oi ine visitors joi i the President, Mr. Taft promptly said in a very loud voice, "Well! Dooney Karris. I am certainly glad to you. It tranapirea mat Mr. ia.ii whs at Yale the same time that Mr. Harris was. With a broad grin, the Presi dent told him to come around about supper time, and It Is natural to sup pose that they talked over collega days ln general, and Tale times ln particular, to the satisfaction of both.
