Philadelphia, June Is. - From every
indication at midnight the Union Re-
publican party OF Delaware will be recog-
nized by the Republican National Com
mittee as the majority Republican party
of the State Of Delaware.
The minds of majority of the mem
bers of the National Committee are made
up so far AZ the Delaware contest is con-
cerned The Union Republican dele
gates will be recognized by the commit
tee. That much is settled. The dispo-
sition of the committee is to be magnani-
nous with each Delaware party. To the
end that a settlement may be reached
giving each delegation half vote in the
National Convention lease of life was
tonight granted to the du Pont aggrega-
tion OF Anti Addicks Republicans. This
lease extends until tomorrow morning.
The extension of time was granted by
the National Committee and not by the
subcommittee for that committee ie-
turned its report to the upper body this
afternoon.
The subcommittee of which Commit
teeman Cummings was chairman, did
not make any recommendation to the
national committee. Chairman Cum
mings said that his committee found the
Union Republicans willing to effect a
compromise in Delaware but that the So
called Regulars stubbornly refused to
consider any proposition that the COM
mittee suggested. Mr.. Cummings said
that the one object of the so-called Regu-
lars appeared to be man hunt after j..
Edward Addicks, the Union Republican
leader. The committee felt unwilling to
propose an agreement whereby any
man should be eliminated from the
party.
President Takes Hand.
just at o'clock this afternoon the
sub-com mittee, composed of Messrs.
Cummings, Saunders, Payne and Leland,
made its report. The National Commit
tee resolved to take vote on the matter
at once and to seat the Union Republi-
can delegates. Although the report did
not recommend the seating of the Union
Republicans, the com mittee believed it
more favorable to them than to tine du
Pont Republicans.
The committee having decided to vote
on the question, Senator Hanna, who
was presiding, said: "Gentlemen, it is
the desire of the President that the Regu-
lar Republicans be given just one more
chance to accept the propositions offered
by the Union Republicans.
Some little discussion followed and the
committee acting upon the Presidents
request agreed to give the du Pont Re-
publicans until tomorrow morning to
accept the harmony propositions of the
Union Republicans. The subcommittee
will meet tomorrow morning between $
and 10 O'Clock to hear the final answer
oil the du Pont PIT ople. II the du Pont
aggregation continue stubborn in their
determination not to listen to any propo-
sition OF harmony along the lines already
suggested the National Committee will
not wait any longer. A vote will be
taken at 10 o'clock and the matter set.
tied.
When the Union Republican leaders
who have been at the Hotel Walton all
day learned that the Delaware case was
settled so far as they were concerned
they lett the corridors. j. Edward Ad-
dicks, State Chairman ]. Frank Alice and
DIR. Caleb r. Layton took drive along
the Wissahickon and returned to the
Walton after dinner where they were
joined by Walter HI. Hayes. The Union
Republicans remained about the hotel up
until about IL O'Clock. They were pres.
ent awaiting some action by the du Pont
Republicans ON the ultimatum of the Ma
tional Committee.
Up at the Hotel Stenton in the parlors
where the so called Regular Republican
headquarters are established were gath
cred Col. Henry A. du Pont, Chairman
Hugh @. Browne; Secretary w. FL.
Head; Senator Samuel NJ. Knox, Phillip
@ Churchman and other dupont Repub.
lcans. For several hours they discussed
the utimatpm sent to them by National
Chairman Hanna.
du Pont is said to be obstinate. At a
late hour tonight some of his friends de-
clared that the Anti-Addicks leader would
still refuse to treat with the Union Re-
publicans for harmony. If du Pont re-
mains of the same opinion tomorrow
morning the committee will proceed to
seat the Union Republicans without
| further delay.
Means United Party.
The action OF Senator Hanna toward
the Delaware contest was the topic oil
conversation wherever two Delawareans
were gathered in the corridors OF the
Walton tonight. The National Chair
man evidently believes the majority Re-
publican party should be recognized.
DIR. Caleb r. Layton, of Georgetown,
said tonight that after the action OF the
National Committee tomorrow the
"Union Republican partv'' would mean
the union of all Republican factions in
the State of Delaware.
