MYSTERY IN VISIT OF MAYOR BRYAN Pays Call Upon Governor Morehead and Politicians Are Agog . Over What Took Place. DEMOS WANRT STATE LEADER (From & Staff Correspondent.) NCOLN, Dec. 3.—(Special)~An alir of mystery hangs over the state house today and In the offices and corridors of the inclent edifice could be seen pairs, triplets and quartets of Interested individ uals discussing with much animation & visit which Governor Morehead received dueing the early hours from hizzoner Mayor Bryan of Lincoin. What they discussed s only known by the gentlemen themselves. Governor Morehead was as siient as the grave when asked about it and Mayor Bryan Is equally as dumb. It has been known for some time that en effort was being made to coax the governor into the senatorial race againet Senator Hitchcock, the only thing lack- ing being assurances of the Bryan aup- port! to convinee the governor that an effort to land the democratic nominatioh would not be erippled by lack of support. Some are of the opinion that the visit of the mayor was to nssure the gover- nor that if he would enter the race that he would recelve the Bryan support. Others look upon the visit of the mayor as along the line of inquiry as to what the governor himself was going to do on the third term nomination. It s well known that Mayor Bryan would like to be governor of Nebraska, but two thin, stand in his way. One of them is Gover- nor Morehead, for even Mayor Bryan and his friends are willing to admit that #hotld the governor again be forced to heed his party’s call and enter the race for the nomination, he would sweep party '-»-dum uside.
