Special 20 The Post.
Richmond. Va. Aug. 2S-Hon. J. Taylor
Eilyso chairman OF the State Demo-
cratic committee. writes TO a friend here
from London that he viii sail for homo
September and reach this city about ten
Gays later. 1t was the intention OF Mr.
Euyson, when he went away six weeks
ago, to be back by September % In order
TO conduct the legislative campaign. The
chairman went abroad for the benefit Of
mis- health, and he writes now that ne is
feeling we'll and strong.
1t is apparent that the State or execu-
tive committee VIII have a number o.
knotty problems 10 solve in connection
with the senatorial fight. The executive
committee has already held one meeting
10 adjust the trouble over the Warwick
County Craftsmanship. which. however. is
not settled, and II is not likely that any
other meeting Will be called until Mr.. Ell
Tyson returns.
Refusal 10 Recognize Crsfford.
The refusal of Mr.. E. c. Madison, OF
Warwick County, to recognize the action
OF the executive committee in declaring
DR. Crafford to be the county chairman
further complexities matters there, and
the matter may be brought before the
State committee. Indeed, ii is likely that
a meeting OF the State committee Will be
called soon after Mr.. Ellyson gets home
TO map out the work of the campaign,
and pass upon the various contests that
may have arisen.
Hon. William A. Jones will speak in
Manchester Wednesday night He so sig
nified his intention in communication -
Mr. Augustine Royal this morning I'm re-
ply to q request from that gentleman and
a number of other admirers. Mr.. Jones
will go TO Manchester directly from
Washington.
1t is thought by many that Mr.. Jones
will avail himself of this opportunity TO
reply to reports which have been circu-
lated touching his record in Congress, and
the charge that he has absented himself
even more than Senator Martin, whom he
criticised in his speeches and letters for
not answering TO rOll-call
