WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 13--Bepre-
sentatives Of the jarring factions OF
Delaware Republicans met here yester-
day in an attempt to arrange harmoni-
Gus ticket, but the conference was OF
short duration and the factionists are
apparently as far apart as ever.
The executive committeeman Of the
factions met at the new house of J. Ed
ward Addicks, on King Street. Those
present were Mr.. Addicks, J. Frank Al
lee, Dr. Caleb R. Layton, ". D. Denny
and David s. Clark. representing the Ad-
dicks men, and State Chairman P O.
Churchman, City Chairman H H Billa-
ny, George Massey Jones. R. G. Hous-
ton, and E. B. Shurter for the ''regu-
lars" After the brief and futile confer
ence had adjourned, Mr.. Churchman
said:
we had preliminary talk about the
composition of the Democratic ticket.
and then discussed the Republican tick
ct The Union ,Repul Icans held that be-
cause Kent and Sussex counties had
heretofore been Deht3cratic, It would be
necessary for them TO have the nomina-
tion for Governor from either Kent or
Sussex. Acting under instructions OF our
executive committee and Volclng us
una nirnous opinion | said the candidate
for Governor should come from New Cas-
tie county and be of our faction in order
to elect the ticket as the sentiment
among our people is practically uhan-
imous that the nominee should c0me
from this county They insisted that we
accept John Hum, the present candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, for Governor
We stated that We thought the proper
plan would be for US to submit i've
names for Governor, agreeing to abide
by any of them they might select, and
they in turn would submit five names OF
proposed candidates for Congress, agree
ing to abide by our selection AS they
would not agree to a New Castle man
for Goyeror, we did not submit the fol-
lowing Ave We had in mind: Martin B.
Burris, Dr. Joseph II. Chandler, Merritt
y. WiIletts, Dr. l. H. Ball, and Theodore
F. Clark.
AT the conclusion of the conference
stated to them that II they experienced a
change Of mind we stood ready at any time
and place to meet them. They replied that
there would be no more meetings, d. they
had announced al the beginning Of the con-
ference that if the question were not set
tied today it would not be settled ar all
The Addicks leaders now say they will
were not prepared TO state whether the ac-
tion agreeing TO common primaries in this
county VIII be rescinded- Mr. Addlehs
talked at length about the situation He
SAID.
1T looks to me a. if the DUPONT men
had reduced the situation absuTdity. We
offered them practically everything. We
offered TO withdraw DR.. Marshall for Gov
ernor and substitute Mr.. HUM as a com
1 TE,,,
TO fill tie vacancy for Lieutenant Governor.
Dr.. Layton said lie would withdraw as the
! nominee for Congress and let the DUPONT
men name the candidate for Congress
/ What more eeHid ye do?
| The whole trouble is that they 10 not
! represent anything but Colonel DUPONT
/ himself l understand they have called a
meeting of their State Committee for Fri
] day when all their nominees viii be asked
to get OFF the ticket. What the object OF
| this is l do not know. but I do know that
/ the Union Republicans are soon going to
ask Mr.. BuTris whether he proposes to stay
| on their ticket for Governor OF whether he
| wishes to remain on ours for State Treas
| uTeT- He cannot continue On both tickets
We propose to go straight down the line
| We cannot do otherwise believe We shall
elect the Union Republican ticket"
| Mr.. Addicks was asked what ne thought
! of the Democratic State Convention a
| Dover.
''Oh, don't know much about it, ne re,
piled Any ticket they would name woult
be weak. l see they referred TO HE in theiI
platform. This Will only make NE strong
! er among Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis 4 number of Democrats stopped N.
| on the street today and apologized for III.
| resolution in the Democratic platform re
ferring 10 me- We propose now TO start il
| TO fight the Democrats as we have aTwav
| done
