Guilty in getting the vote out. This trouble
is largely due to the weather conditions,
rain having been falling since early this

existed between Mayor Hoizapfel and the
city council for the past year, it will be
necessary for the republicans to elect coun-
cilmen in all of the wards in which the cleo
tion is being held. If the democrats elect
one councilman they will retain a majority
in the council and will be in position to
hold up any or all Of Mayor Holzapfels 8 ap-

bureaus report from Kitty Hawk, near

the wind is from the south, however, and
this gives the hope that the shipping will
not be driven ashore.
Communication with the North Carolina
coast was not restored until 10 o'clock this

reported put the shipping interests in bet
