A new ELECTION IN SIGHT.
PYLE HAS A MAJORITY BUT STAY
TON IS NOT SATISFIED.

REVISED RETURNS FROM THE
ELEVENTH WARD MATERIALLY
REDUCE THE FORMERS MA
JORITY. BUT HE IS STILL
AHEAD - COMMITTEE WILL
MEET TO-DAY.
AT 2.3O O'Clock this afternoon the
Democratic County Executive Commit
tee will meet at the Young Mems
Democratic Club and canvass the re-
turns of Saturdays primaries. Bar
ring Wilmington, this will be COM
paratively easy work. for there Is no
trouble in the rural hundreds, and both
victors and vanquished are satisfied
with the result.
In Wilmington. however, there IS
the worst kind of trouble, and It will
be difficult 20 adjust it 20 the satisfac-
tion OF everybody. There was fraud
OF a most palpable character; violence
unparalleled in recent years. and fac
tional feeling OF the strongest kind
back OF both. Both John Pyle and
Thomas N. Stayton claim the senator
ial nomination, and both charge fraud.
IL Is doubtful whether either would ac-
quiesce II the committee should de-
clare In favor OF the other. There is
apparently no course open to the COM
mittee but TO order a new election, and
have the two men TO fight it out along
lines that VIII leave no ground for a
contest. Whether this will affect the
nomination OF John T, Dickey is a
question. His majority over A. l..
Johnson was so large that the latter
could not possibly win, even should
the committee declare that the new
election affected the entire legislative
branch in Wilmington.
Everything indicates that a new
election will be ordered
The latest unofficial returns from the
Eleventh ward give Pyle 2OS votes.
bringing his total down to 1927, and
Stayton li2, raising his figures TO D.
7i2, and leaving Pyle a majority OF
5S5.
The official returns Of the Eleventh
ward have been received by the Coun-
ty Committee. They give Pyle a ma
jority of about SO votes.
Senator Pyle declares that he will
claim the nomination. but says that he
has assurances that the committee will
not render any decision until he Is
given an opportunity to be heard.
