Newport News, Va, Aug p The
complete returns received here from
York county show that Mr. + o Mad

ner Tyler, Of James CITY, will carry the
delegation from that county solid Ion
the House and State Senate n0mina'
tions. respectively. The county will
also g for Thomas ) Martin for Uni
ted States Senate.
Madison carried only one district,
but that was enough % give him the
choice # all of the fourteen delegates
b which the county is entitled. DR..
Orafford carried three precincts. The
county executive committee decided
some time ago that the candidate eject
ed by direct vote Of the people at the
primary should be entiil d 70 select the
delegates 10 the Williamsburg conyen-

York's delegation will stand solid for
Tyler and Madison. From now on 1t

Persons who have studied the situa-
tion since the victory Of Madison IN
