Williams The Right To File His Application As Candidate For Said To Be Entering Race To Hurt Judge Williams Oklahoma City, June L. Williams was denied the right of filing hla application to run for the democratic nomination for governor of Oklahoma by the state election board yesterday afternoon. WllUama announced himself as a candidate for gubernatorial honors several days ago and declared that he would run on a local option and high finance platform. Williams stated in hla application that be was years of age. The constitution saya that no man shall run for the office of governor who is under 30 years of age.

Williams has not stated whether he would abide by the decision of the election board or institute mandamus procedlngs to compel the board to accept his application.

When Williams called at the office: of the election board yesterday Secretary Joe Morris told Williams that he believed him to be "insincere" and that he was entering the race for an Insincere "purpose." Because of the bitterness of the Williams attacks on Judge J.

B. A. Robertson, the Chandler man was credited by many with the plan to confuse the for that waa what most dopesters agreed the intention was. Because the second Williams is from Tulsa, some of the dopesters said without hesitation that It was "Charley" Haskell who had muddled things up. and some said that without 'even waiting to hear that the new man was from the town where the former governor makes his headquarters.
