HARMONY BLOCKED BY THE
ADDICKSITES WHO INSIST
ON A UNION REPUBLICAN
For GubernaOral Candidate Refused to Accept Repub
llcanS Proposition That Head Of Ticket Should
be From New Castle County

Executive Committees Of the Repub-
1can and Union Republican State Com
mittess met in the Addicks headquar-
ters, No. 1905 King street, this morning
10 confer about harmony ticket The
Addicksitea refused to consider the
proposition OF the Republicans, and
declared that no rurther conferences
would be held. The Republicans in
sisted that the head OF the ticket
should come from New Castle county,
but to this the Addicksites would not
hear.
Both committees met promptly at IL
o'clock. The Republican Executive
Committee was composed Of State
Chairman Philip Q. Churchman, City
Chairman Harry II. Billany, who held
the proxy Of Henry b. Thompson, E.

Georgetown, and George Massey Jones
of Dover. The Union Republicans
were: State Chairman j. Frank Alice
J. Edward Addicks, DR.. Caleb r. Lay

cussiOn of the action Of the Demo
cratic State Convention in Dover yes
tsrday. Afterward the discussion waG
confined to the composition of the Re
publican state ticket.
The Addicksiets expressed the opin
ion that it was essential that the gov
ernor should come from Kent or Sus
sex county on the ground that each o
those counties has heretofore beel
Democratic, and it is necessary that
candidate should come from eithe
county in order to strengthen tn
ticket They further insisted that tn
nominee should be a Union Republi
can.
Voicing the sentiment OF the Repub
licans, and acting under the instruc
tion of the Executive Committee, Stat
Chairman Churchman stated that tn
Republicans considered it absOlutel
necessary for the success Of the Repuh
licans in the state that a ticket
chosen which would have at the hea
a Regular. Republican of New Cast
county, because the Republicans wer
almost unanimously Of that opinion
and further that it was necessary t
choose the nominee from this count
in order to hold the votes of a larg
number Of Republicans who would nc
vote gor a Union Republican for COVER
nor.
'fhe Addieksites replied that the Re-
publican proposition was impossible
and mat they would not agree to

BILE on Dewey Day.
Chicago. April 2T.-The success of
two features of the parade Oh Dewey
Day is seriously threatened by union
wOrkmel. Reports have reached the
contractors in charge of the erection of
the reviewing stand that strikers are
declaring no one will set foot upon the
structure next Tuesday, and members
of the singing societies have been so
intimidated by union workmen that
many of them will appear no more for
practice and will not take part in the
demonstration on the Art Institut9
steps.
These threats from union workmen
that the Dewey grand stand will never
be used have come TO us straight"
said one of the five contractors who
are directing the work on the review
ing stand. Their plan. as it has been
reported to us. is either TO Saturate
the structure with Kerosene and set it
on fire or gain admittance to the
grounds at night after the grand stand
is completed and so weaken it that it
will collapse when the crowd begins to
enter it,
