In Little Rock on February 21 rumors swirled that Prof John H Hinemon of Arkadelphia and Judge Robert W McFarlane of Greenwood would withdraw from the gubernatorial race leaving Attorney General William F Kirby of Texarkana and George W Donaghey of Conway to run. Local managers said no withdrawal plans exist though some believe a shift in the campaign could alter the field. Hitt Brothers filed an answer in the Nevada Circuit Court to Williamson vs Hitt and two other cases against Ozan Mercantile Co and Wm Gee & Son. The response asserts membership in the Retail Merchants Association and denies that the association publishes lists of nonpayers.
