MADISON GETS THE DELEGATION.
1t will be seen that Madison carried
only one district. but that was enough to
give him the choice Of all Of the fourteen
delegates 10 which the county is entitled.
Dr. CraGord carried three precincts. The
County Executive Committee decided
some time ago that the candidate elect
cd by direct vote Of the people at the pri-
mary should be entitled to select the del
egates TO the Williamsburg conventions,
which makes it certain that Yorks dele
cation will stand solid FOR Tyler ana
Madison.
WAR TO THE KNIFE.
From now on it is war to the knife be-
tween the Cranord and Madison factions.
Both are out for blood, 30 to speak, and
no point viii be yielded that can be turn
ed TO advantage for either side. The
friends of Madison are bent on defeating
Or Cranord. who was recognized by the
State Executive Committee on Tuesday
as the regular county chairman over Mr..
Madison. The friends of Dr. Craiford are
determined that Mr.. Madison shall no;
get the nomination at Williamsburg. The
friends OF both candidates are out 20 keep
the other side from winning. The friends
of Mr. w. II. Moss expect 10 profit by the
differences between the Crafford and
Madison factions
A DARK HORSE" POSSIBLE.
Persons who have studied the situation
since the victory of Madison I'm York yes
terday say il Is not unlikely that q dark
horse" will be sprung on the Williams
burg House convention. Those who seem
TO know anything about this dark
horse" will not talk for publication. but
il ifs reasonably certain that an attempt
will be made TO carry the convention for
him by storm.
Yesterday the friends of the candidates
i'm the field for the House nomination
claimed that the whole fight depended
upon the result in York county. They
argued that the man who won in York
would certainly get the nomination az
Wfliamsburg To-day they have changed
their position, and the friends OF the cam
didates who We're defeated yesterday con-
tend that the result I'm York cuts very
little ice. anyway" There is no denying
the fact that this will be the hottest fight
ever waged in this district
MADISON MEN JCBILANT.
The Madison men are jubilant to-day.
They insist that the upper counties
James City. New Kent. and Charles
Citv-wil stand by old York and support
their man. James city has already IN
structed her delegates for Tyler and Mad
ison. They also believe that Madison will
get one half of the delegation from war
wick county. which will hold mass
meeting next Monday 60 elect the dele
gates.
The supporters of Dr. Crafford admit
their disappointment at the result in
York. aud agree that DR.. Craiford has
hard fight before him. But said one
man to-day. "if Doe don't get the nom
nation. Madison will not be the man
10 get it," He admitted that there Is
strong talk of dark horse.
THE WARWICK DELEGATION.
The Crafford supporters count on
solid delegation from Warwick and at
Ieost ten of the thirteen delegates from
this city. and believe that the Doe VIII
get some votes from the upper counties.
The Crafford men. all Of whom are
strong supporters Of Attorney Clarence
" Robinson. of this city. for the Senate.
firmly believe that the latter Will be
nominated az williamsburg. Alr. ROBIN
son informed your correspondent TINS al
ternoon that he expects seven delegates
from Elizabeth City 20 support him. ana
with these I'm addition TO the others he
expects from other counties, he counts on
winning. $50.
CLAIMS OF THE MOSS MEN.
The Moss men expect victory at VII
uamsburg August 3lst. They claim thd'
the upper counties VIII not support 10TH
ticket and that Newport News viii 80
almost solid for their candidate.
EVAN is no longer considered In the
fight IL is limited that Evan threw his
strength TO Madison. as York is his own
county and he received very poor vote.
