Dover. March 1.-The Senatorial fight
took on new phase today. Two ballots
were taken and while they were without
effect the last one resulted in Thomas
Curry, of Greenwood, a well-known
Union Republican. securing the votes Of
six Of the Unions who have left j. Ed
ward Addicks. AS a consequence, 7. Cole
man DUPONT failed to receive any sup
port for the first time since the Addicks
break.
Senator Alice and Mr.. Addicks were in
the State House during the morning and
until the noon recess Of the Legislature
and the change to Mr.. Curry was under
stood to have been plan Of the anti
Addiclss Unions to get some of the Ad-
dicks stalwarts to desert The scheme,
however did not develop.

ly announced as being Intellectual, sec
ond cne was taken without opposition

to the support of State Chairman sauls
bury.
In anticipation of developments today
there was a large crowd in the Stat
Capitol, the presence Of Senator Alice
Mr.. Addicks. ex-secretary Of State Lay
ton mad practically all of the Addick
basis.
When Senator Alice arrived the Legis
lature was in session and he held severa
conferences with the members. Will
the joint session was in progress, Alice
Addicks and Layton conferred on thi
issue in the State House parlor. 1t wa
reported that a move was being plan
ned by which Addiczs strength can b
increased for a final effort, but nothin
definite could be learned.
dAdieks is Retieent.
Mr.. Addicks admitted that he would g
to Washington TO attend the inaugura
tion of President Roosevelt, but whe
asked whether he would confer with tn
President or with other high Govern
ment onicials on the Senatorial deadloc
he was silent.
He spent a half hour this morning
the Senate chamber and was greeted b
about all of the members. When h
shook hands with Senators Pennewi
and Lingo, who have left him. he wa
closely watched, but the meeting appeal
ed to be friendly He was also in confer
ence during the day with Walter L
Hayes, of Wilmington, one of his pei
sonal counsel.
The belief is expressed that the pres
ence OF Addieks in Dover has some sil
nifcance, but what it is cannot be learI
ed. He refuses to divulge his plans, q
does also Senator Alice.
Representative Henry V. Lyons, wa
unable TO attend the session today b,
cause Of a severe throat affection whic
confined him to his room in the Hot
