How did you come to select Horace q.
Knowles for atturney?n was asked OF one
of the members of the Levy Court Tuesday
morning, after that body had elected MIR.
"He was dark horse, - replied the men,
The Republican members had made one
OF two efforts to got together but without
success, prior to the meeting. Commits
siouer Lynn wanted Harry Whitefnan for
attorney Commissioner Chandler wanted
his son. Lilbufne Chandler, or Walter II,
Hayes; Commissioner Megginson wanted
Harry T.. Joslyn or Philip O. Churchman.
After the court orensd Tuesday morning
Lynn. Mealey and Armstrong left the ROOM
Tor awhile, and after they had returned
Lynn, Chandler and Megginson we're out
awhile, presumably to confer. Upon the
return of the Republican members, Mr..
Megginson moved that the court go iato u
nomination and election for an attorney.
The motion was carried, and MI. Mcggin-
son nominated MIR. Knowles for attorney.
Mr.. Chandler seconded the notion. Mr.,
Armstrong acted as teller and Mr.. Knowles
received the votes OF the three Republicans
and was. elected. Mr.. Armstrong did not
vote and Mr.. Mealey was absent. In COM
mao suggested that he was not really dark
horse; that MIR. Hayes could not be selected
because he Is attorney for the Wilmington
City Railway Co., and Mr.. Knowles was
selected as a friend of Mr.. Hayes.
