HANDY DECLINES TO TALK
Many Democrats Wondering If He Has
Inside information.

There is much speculation among Della
ware Democrats as to whether or not L.
Irving Handy has any direct information
from Walliam Jennings Bryan regarding
the latter's attitude towards the candl-
dacy of Judge George Gray. They argue
that Mr.. Handy has on several occasions
implied that Bryan would not oppose the
Gray boom. When seen by reporter for
the Evening Journal this morning Mr..
Handy declined TO be interviewed on the
subject stating he had nothing to say.
AIR. Hsndy was also asked in regard
to rumor 20 the effect that Judge Gray
was the only sound money Democrat
who had been mentioned as a Presidential
candidate. that Bryan could be persuaded
to support, but he also declined TO dis
cuss that report
From an authentic source II has been
reported that Grover Cleveland recently
sent for Senator German Of Maryland, and
asked the latter 10 use his influence to-
wards keeping the Southern State un-
pledged and that IL was done in the inter-
est Of Judge Gray. Mr.. Handy said he
knew nothing of such rumor and did not
think 1t probable.

IMPROVEMENTS TO oLIVET
Will be Made in July and August at a
Cost Of About $1,000.

Extensive improvements are to be
made to Olivet Presbyterian Church,
whereby the seating capacity will be
enlarged. This is necessitated by the
increased membership.
It is expected that the repairs will
be made in July and August. They will
include new carpeting, Encouragement
of the electric lights and painting of
the ceiling and walls. The choir loft
will be abolished and the choir removed
10 a position beside the pulpit, which
will give seating capacity for nearly
100 more persons. When these are
finished the church will be in thorough
repair, the Bible school and exterior
having been renovated last fall.
The seating capacity of the church
will be increased TO about $50. The
improvements will cost $1,000 and will
be paid for by voluntary subscriptions
on the part of the members and not by
bazaars or church suppers. The
church is in a hourishing condition
generally.

AT the meeting held in Union NJ. L.

lutely nothing could be learned as 10

dents of the whole was the final pre-
sentation of a magnificent crown of
wax flowers that were presented by
three infant children who marched up
the centre aisle, which was lined on

Parker and Hearst Are
out of the Plight and
Sentiment Grows for
Delaware Man
RooseVeHIs Sure of Every
Delegate and Harmony
Prevails in Ranks of
the Republican Party

The Republicans having completed
their list of delegates TO the national
convention the result is gratifying to
the President and presages harmony in
the party.
There are 9SS delegates, and Of these
7l6 are pledged to Roosevelt, leaving
272 without instructions, but all Of
which are certain to cast their votes
for the President on the first ballot
No other person will even be put in
nomination, and the greatest work Of
the convention will be in deciding be-
tween contested delegations, and in Sc
lecting a Vice Presidential candidate
Usually contesting delegations are for
rival candidates, but this year all are
for Roosevelt.
Democratic Uncertainty.
All is confusion, however. in the
Democratic fold. Parker to date has
pledged to him but 12S votes, and il
takes 667 to nominate. 1t seems impos-
sible for him to get them, for all ef-
forts to make him popular in the South
have been crowned with failure. 1t is
rumored that German is throwing all
his influence into the scales to secure
unpledged delegations from the South,
probably to be turned over TO Judge
Gray.
The Hearst boom has bursted. He
has now to his credit ia delegates and
may get a few others, but he will never
get a fourth of the votes necessary.
The convention viii be composed of
1000 votes and the conventions in the
States where Hearst is strongest have
already been held.
Five Conventions This Week.
Five conventions are scheduled for
this week; Arizona, today; Ohio, Tues
day; Alabama, Wednesday; Tennessee,
Wednesday; Maryland, Thursday.
BY next Saturday there will be a bet
ter opportunity of estimating the
chances Of the respective candidates.
Much interest is taken in Maryland
since the action of the convention Of
that State may reveal Mr.. German
attitude-but il may not. Should the
delegates go unpledged, it would leave
Gorman's purpose IN the dark, and
should they be pledged to him, their
final disposition is uncertain.
Gray's Chances.
But there are persistent rumors of a
general trend towards Judge Gray. II
IS SaiQ on Wndt appears 10 D4 good du-
thority, that German and Cleveland
have plan to keep the Southern del
egates unpledged the purpose being to
turn them to Gray at the psychological
moment. II is certain that the conser-
vative element Is friendly TO the Judge
But it is especially significant that il
is whispered that Bryan is more fav-
orable to Gray than to any other of the
conservatives. Should these two sur
misses prove true, the nomination is al
most certain to come to the Delaware
man.
Under these circumstances great in.
terest Is centered in the coming Dem.
ocratic convention in this State. Un.
doubtedly the Gray sentiment has beer
growing. and if the rumors Of a It'd,
in his direction are verified it will tenC
20 disslpate further opposition.
