III was reported that the governor
would 60 20 Dover today, when the
proposed plans might be discussed

10 Is believed, judging from bis re-
MARKS tnat the members of the Legis-
lature VIII make their plans, if they
make any, independent of any con
ference with him. The general inn
preston is that the governor is not
desirous Of participating in any pre-

ADniCKs is IUBILANr.
Philadelphia Record. today.
j. Edward Addicks is in a iubilant
frame of mind over the rumpus he has
kicked mp over the United States
Senatorial vacancy in Delaware
Daliy assurances are being received
by Mr.. Addicks, who is IN this city,
| from members of the Delaware Legis-
/ lature who voted for him az the last
session pledging him their support in
case an extra session is called.
In addition TO striking at his arch
enemy, Senator Alice, through the
Senatorial vacancy, Mr.. Addicks pro-
poses to continue his war against
Alice to Wrest from him. the State
chairmanship Of the Union Republican
party.
Alice pledged himself, through
Newall Ball, said Mr.. Addicks las
night, to resign the State chairman
ship of the party by May lst. II tn,
harmony negotiations then under wal
should fail. They failed but he hal
not resigned. We want to find out VIII
he has not kept his promise. "
Speaking of the proposed conference
and csucases on the Senatorial va
cancy. Mr.. Addicks said:
1.-The Union Republicans will,
think, follow the time honored pre-
cedent of holding caucus for th
nomination of United States Senate
on the night before the balloting 70
Senator in the joint session. Tha
has been the custom and it should pre-
vail now. The Legislature, as / uu
derstand it, does not need to be organ
lied again. The organization j
already effected. The balloting fo
Senator cannot take place until Oh
second Tuesday after the session
assembled.
"ADDIcKs MOVED ONLY BY ADDicKs. 4"
1T looks TO me as though th
du Pont element is trying to play fail
We have been fighting each other j
the open, and there has been no tricl
cry. / am perfectly willing to go int
a caucus and take chances and abio
by the result.
There is one thing, continue
Mr.. Addicks. smiling, THAT afforc
me much amusement. That is th
story that President Roosevelt, Seer
tary Shaw and others at Washingto
have brought pressure TO bear upo
Addicks TO make him end the deaS
lock. The only person that can briu
pressure TO bear on Addicks is j. E'
ward Addicks himself.
90 have had no communication wit
Coleman du Pont or any Of the 9TH
du Pont men about the situation, an
= there is no agreement as to the iutur
Neither, as / understand il, have d
du Points made any agreement wit
Alice or Layton. The latter are Il
men who for years have caused q
d disturbances in Delaware. -
Mr.. Addicks paused a nom ent. TIT
he concluded, with one Of those qui
p smiles which Tom Lawson pictured
= one Of his facial characteristics
"Still 1 do not wish to say anythil
that will interfere with the polite
funeral Of these two men. "
Mr.. Addicks laughed heartily VIII
p told Of the rumor that there was a Lla
destne agreement between himself al
. Alice to control the Legislative cauc
Q should one be held
