WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. — In
answer to an inquiry this morning
Secretary of Interior Franklin K.
Lane stated that he had about given
up hope of visiting Alaska this
year. He states that the prolonged
session of Congress and the Euro
pean war has made it necessary that
he remain at Washington for the
present, and next month other mat
ters will come up requiring his
presence here. It is a matter ol
great disappointment to him that he
-will not be able to take this trip. He
is intensely interested in Alaska and
wishes to familiarize himself with
existing conditions in the northland
by a personal visit.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18—Both Gov.
Martin Glynn and former Gov. Wil
liam Sulzer have announced their
intention to seek the Democratic
nomination for governor. These
men were both successful candidates
on the Democratic ticket four years
ago, when Mr. Sulzer was elected
governor and Mr. Glynn was elected
lieutenant governor. By reason of
the successful administration by Mr.
Glynn, since the impeachment of
Governor Sulzer, it is generally be
lieved that he will secure the
nomination, in which event Mr.
Sulzer is likely to run as an inde
pendent. He has already been
nominated by the Prohibitionist
party.
