INTEREST MANIFESTED JN JUDGE HOKE'S RACE Persons interested in the dandi- daey- of Justice. W. A. Hoke cf the North Carolina supreme court point out that unless he receives a larger vote than the two highest candi dates for the nomination to succeed Associate Justice Brown, he probab ly vill be defeated for the Demo cratic nomination. Candidates for Judge Brown's place have net au thorized the state board of elections to certify Judge Hoke's nomination and all of them may not do that. Democrats are wondering if all the candidates will agree to let Judge Hoke be certified to as the regular candidate, while they devote them selves to running for' the vacalncy caiised by Judge Brown's retire ment. Judge Hoke possibly might be de feated for nomination (finder the present plan, although all of the candidates declared that they were not running against him. In such event Democrats would do enough scratching in November to put the justice over by a great majority.
