Gardner Colby, chairman of the county
committee of the New Idea. stated at noon
today that it was his opinion, from the
reports thus far received from all over the
city and county, that the New Idea might
have a controlling vote in the county con-
vention.
"At the present time" said he, I'VE have
PIG votes that we are sure of. we need
only 246 to control matters on the floor.
There are other districts to be heard from,
and when the TALES have been completed
1 would not be surprised that we had
control.
This. of course, would mean that our
Assembly ticket would be nominated.
Chairman Dalrymple, on the contrary,
thought that his forces had a safe margin
In the county convention. Politicians about
the county committee rooms allowed the
New Idea 213 votes early this morning. Al
noon they conceded PIT.
So far as the control of the county COM
mittee is concerned Gardner Colby admitted
that the New Idea nae no hope of electing
enough of their followers to control things.
Returns received at Republican county
headquarters up TO the noon nOur nulcdteu
that the organization would have IA deie-
gates to the Colby factions go. This esti-
mate was based on the policy of counting
everything for Colby that is In doubt.
The Regulars say they will have 2S3
delegates In the county convention, to III
for the Colby candidates.
The absence of Major Lentz on primary
election night was generally commented
upon as unusual. and it is said that it was
the first time he was not in evidence OIL

Secretary John Flavel. Many of these

Chairman Dalrymple arrived at the
building during the morning, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he remained there until
about 4 a. m. He appeared quite cheer
full and expressed entire satisfaction with
the results obtained.
