for Dover.
STAFF Correspondence Evening Journal.
DOVER, Jan is Senator Higgins was
not nominated by full caucus last even.
Ing simply because six Addicks men from
Sussex county refused to stir from tine
gas kings headquarters at the Hotel
Richardson and 60 into caucus. They
we're afraid, for there were eleven big
gins men and two Massey men In the
Hall of Representatives ready to receive
them ard to name Senator Higgins on
the 6rst ballot.
The vaunted Addicks strength has
dwindled down to six men, but those six
hold the key to the situation. Repre-
sentative Moore, their leader, sent word
to the Higgins men that they would
stay out of caucus until hell froze
over"
1t was big day for Dover and the
situation was one of the most peculiar
known here for many years The small.
ness Of the minority and the sweeping
power 1t possesssd and exercised was
exasperating to the Higgins men who did
not, until OF late hoUr In the after
noon, believe that the Addicks men
would have the hardihooo to adopt such
desperate course The developments
of the evening settled .one thing, how
ever. That was the relative strength OF
the rival candidates. The showing was
as follows:
