Special 20 The Evening Journal.
Dover, Feb. 15.-The expected break IN
the Union Republican ranks from J. Ed
ward Addicks did not occur today as
was scheduled A few minutes before the
Joint session Of the Legislature began at
noon. the Union conferees who met last
night and fixed today as the time TO break
away from Addicks, announced that ow-
ing to the absence of Representatives
Townsend and Lyons and the necessity
of Speaker of the House Denney leaving
the state House before the senatorial vote
should be taken, that the movement had
been postponed until next Friday.
But one ballot was taken and it resuited'
John Edward Addicks u. r., ls.
willard Salisbury, D., l6.
Henry A. DUPONT, r. r., s.
Total vote AZ; necessary TO a choice ~
no election.
The pairs were as follows: Senator 7. c.
Moore. L. r., and Senator Monaghan d.
and Representatives Miller, r. R., and
Pennewff4, D.; Denney, u. r., and Cooper
D.: Townsend U. r., and Hart, D., and
Lyons, u. r. and w. I. Smith, d.
Addieks Men Feared a Coup.
For fear that some coup might be
sprung after all. the stalwart Addicks
men we're very anxious TO adjourn the
Joint session. AS soon as the Intellectual
vote was announced, Representative ABB
bott moved that the two Houses separate
until tomorrow and this was quickly sec
onded by Senator Barnard. 1t prevailed
without any opposition.
The anticipated developments therefore
are held up until Friday on which day
there may be surprises The Union Re
publican dissenters want their entire NUM-
Der to leave Addicks at one time. They
believe that with concerted action and
the excitement that break would create
that enough votes might be secured to
elect a senator whether it be Colonel
Henry A. DUPONT. T. Coleman DUPONT
Harry A. Richardson. Governor Preston
Lea or some other Republican. If there
shall be any absentees on Friday it Is
probable that action will then again be
deferred for this reason.
OF the Union Republicans who were
paired today, Speaker Denney was the
only one in attendance. Representative
Miller. Regular Republican, was detained
on account of illness.
Addicl<s' Dissenters Classified.
The Union 1NtDuhllAtNA Ni'1N-ANN-~f -
classified by one Of the number, are en-
braced in three lots-the first lot COM
prising seven men who will lead the way,
the second consisting OF five men who will
follow suit. and the third embracing two
members who, it is expected. will next
do likewise. These legislators. who total
fourteen, will, It is declared, eventually
unite upon T. Coleman DUPONT, Of VIII
mington.
When they break away from Addicks
they vii probably vote as follows for a
dav or sol Lot No. 1-Senator A. b. Lingo
Senator Pennewill and Representatives
r. d. Lingo, Jr, and Vandenburg, for T.
Coleman DUPONT; Representative Ben
son for Harry A. Richardson, of Dover

T. Coleman Dupont, and Representative
Lyons for Congressman Hiram r. Bur
ton.
Lot No. s.-Senator Houston and Repre-
sentative Garrison for either T. Coleman
DUPONT or Nj. Richardson.
It has not been decided Just how Ions
they VIII cast these complimentary votes
but II Is believed that the length OF tim,
WILL be based upon existing conditions. L
is he understanding, however. that T
Coleman DUPONT will finally get theli
support.
