RALEIGH, Feb. *7.—Whether he ,111 or will not be a candidate for •overnor of North Carolina Is ex acted to be announced here next bv Congressman Robert Lee Doughton of the ninth district, who rill be here to confer with legisla tive leaders on North Carolina’! share of Federal PWA money. This theory, reported to Raleigh from reliable .sources, is unexpected tor it has been the belief that Doughton would follow the Clyde R. Hoey policy and say nothing, one way or the other, until after the legislature had closed. There is no doubt, of course, that Mr Doughton's real intention on this visit Is to feel out the possibilities of his candidacy and to learn, it possible, just how strong Shelby’s Clyde R. Hoey is with legislative vote controllers. Vft rnnfprenr.e Held Another rumor of the week was that Doughton and Hoey had held another conference in Washington about their alledged candidacies, but this was scotched when it was teamed from Shelby that*Mr. Hoey had not been in Washington. Stilt, the expectation Is that the two leading unannounced candi dates will most certainly hold a heart-to-heart tete-a-tete before either tosses his bonnet into the arena. Say He Won’t Run Some close friends of Doughton’s here were of the opinion that even now he had no intention of run ning for |overnor, despite the pleas of relatives and friends that he leave Washington. He is now chair man of the ways and means com mute and is a powerful man in Washington. There is no reason, they say, for him to forego this certain honor for a doubtful vic tory in a race for governor—and In i race against Hoey his victory would be doubtful indeed.
