Dover, Feb. 1O-In order that Ex- At
torney-General Herbert H. Ward could
address the General Assembly this af-
ternoon and explain the status OF the
boundary litigation between the States
of Delaware and New Jersey, Mr.. Ward
of Wilmington. and George II. Bates OF
Philadelphia, being the counsel for this
State. the Joint session began at u.4O a.
m. today. The clocks in the House cham
Der were moved up twenty minutes Tor

1t was again futile. 1t was:
John Edward Addicks Union Republic
CAM 10.
willard Salisbury DemocraO Is.
Henry A. DUPONT Irregular Repubh-
CAM 3.
Total vote 46; necessary to a choice "a;

Addieks Break Deferred.
Indications today show that the break
IN the Union Republican ranks from Ad-
dicks will be deferred. It was expected
that next Monday would see desertions on
this line, but now it is stated that Sena-
tor Alice has a firmer hold on the legis-
lators and will defer the inevitable for a
couple of weeks
When several of the Union Republican
dissenters were questioned today on the
subject of a break, they stated that they
are now in favor Of another caucus being
held by their faction on the senatorshiI
If there shall not be an election within 9
fortnight. This is illustrative of the ap'
parent change thta has occurred in th'
situation and IT is expected, therefore
that the deadlock will continue on the
present lines for some days.
The Trip to Washington.
As both Houses Of the Legislature hav'
passed the bill appropriating 5000 to de
fray the expenses Of the States represen
tatives including the assemblymen, a
the inauguration of President Roosevelt
on March 4. it is evident that the mem
bers expect the Senatorial problem to b
settled before that time. The legislator
have arranged for three days trip, from
March until March 6, and If no Senate
shall be elected it will be necessary 70
some Of the members to remain at hom
and hold perfunctory joint sessions. N
arrangements have been made to this en-
and It is known that there is a genera
desire among the lawmakers to make tn
trip.
The only way in which all of the as
semblymen can remain in Washington 70
thre three days. however, is for a Senate
to be elected meanwhile.
It was decided today to hold perfunctor
Joint sessions on Saturdays, as has bee
the case in previous Senatorial deadlock
There was a sentiment yesterday TO hav
the entire Legislature ballot for Senate
on every week day. but this morning th
Senators and Representatives reached
decision that this was unnecessary. TIL
meeting tomorrow will consequently b
merely formal.
Tomorrow's Perfunotory Session.
Senator Barnard, u. r., will alone rel
resent the Senate. The pairs in that bod
are:
