Sacrificing personal ambitions for party weal, placing the interests of the Demo crat i party above congressional as pirations, and yielding to the insis tent appeal of the National Demo cratic Committe for an undivided :oushold. Hon. Charles Laban Ab- enietny yesterday iormaiiy witti drew from the race as candidate for Congress from the Third North Car olina District. He left Washington last night for his home in New Hern after issuing a statement of withdrawal, foregoing all discussion of the merits of the celebrated con gressional controversy. His complete acquiescence to the mandates and welfare of the Demo cratic party finds abundant testimo ny in the manly tender he will make Chairman Thomas D. Warren to take the stump for S. M. Brinson, Democratic landidate for Congress. The withdrawal from the race brought forth unreserved commenda tion for Mr. Abernethy, and so grati fying has been his course that Sena tor F. M. Simmons issued a state ment last ngiht testifying that It was "the best assurance possible of his fidelity to the principles and poli cies of the Democratic party." Honorable Homer S. Cummings, acting chairman of the Democratic National Committee, wired Mr. Abernethy to come to Washington for a conference. He orged him to sacrifice personal ambition for par ty harmony, tender support to Pres ident Wilson in the crisis to coun teract Republican activity, and re assert his old-time fidelity to the tenets of Democracy. Mr. Abernethy came to the Na tional Capital yesterday, accompa nied by his attorney. D. E. Hender son of Charlotte.
