Headquarters-Who Will Make the
Notwithstanding About the Con-
vention-The Delegates.
The First district congressional conven-
ton will meet at Brunswick tomorrow,
and the indications are that there will be a
| long drawn out fight for the nomination.
/ Capt. Gordon and the Chatham delegation
will go over this morning. Congressman
Norwood is already on the ground. Bruins
wick is taking big interest in the conven-
ton, and elaborate preparations have been
made by the citizens committee to take
care of the delegates
The convention will be held in LArioso
hall Capt. Gordon's headquarters will be
at the Oglethorpe and Mr.. Norwood's at the
Ocean house. Quite a number Of the dele
gates from the western part Of the district
Will arrive here this morning and will 90
over with the Chatham delegation.
THE UNRESTRICTED DELEGATIONS.
Hon. I. P. Wade of Scriven came down
last night. Scrlvens delegation is unirl-
structed, and it is hard to tell which
OF the two leading candidates it will
stand by. Bulloch is in the same fix. Both
counties are claimel by both sides, but
Capt. Gordon's friends are relying upon the
Scriven delegation.
There will be quite q crowd from Savan-
nah outside of the thirteen delegates. A
meeting Of Capt Gordon's friends was held
yesterday afternoon. Col Mercer will
probably present Capt. Gordon's name TO
the convention, and Maj. Letford, who has
been leading the Norwood canvass in Bryan
~ will ~.
So far as can be learned there
is very little likelihood of any
effort being made by either side to adopt
the majority rule and the nomination will
be made under the customary two-thirds
rule which has always prevailed in the First
district This will necesSitate twenty
votes to secure the nomination.
