COL. PRARRE HAS FIGHT Won
Interest at Hagerstown Will Center
in Selection of Delegates.
Roulette and Matthias VIII Probably
BE Chosen to Represent District
at Chicago Convention.
SPECIAL to Tho washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Hagerstown, Nd, April l5-On the eve
OF the Republican Sixth Congressional
district convention, with partially all Of
the delegates here, it is regarded as an
absolute certainty that Col George A
Pearre will be renominated.
In fact. the interest has shifted from
the Congressional nomination to the selec-
tion OF two delegates and two alternates
TO the national convention, and the cleo
tor for this district II is admitted that
there are more asplrants than there are
honors to go around. n caucus was held
tonight with the hope of agreeing upon
slate in the matter OF delegates. but
up 70 a late hour this had not been
settled.
There is little doubt that William Z.
Roulette, Of Hagerstown, will be one Of
the delegates, and up until late this af-
ternoon It was regarded as settled that
Senator Matthias, Of Frederick County,
would be the other.
With the arrival of the mass delegation
lof fifty strong from Allegany County,
fight for one of the delegates, and II IS
now also known that Garrett County is
bent on furnishing one of the delegates.
Hon. Brainard H. Warner and his dele
gates, from Montgomery County arrived
in Hagerstown tonight, and are stopping
at Hotel Hamilton. The Pearre people
have headquarters at the Baldwin Hotel.
While Mr. Warner appreciates that he
has no chance Of landing the ConSres-
slaI nomination, the impression prevails
that Montgomery County will figure ma
terially in the matter Of selecting the
delegates to the national convention.

chairman, from the crushing defeat which
Corners had contemplated for him.
This demonstrated 70 all that Murphy
is the Democratic State leader in every
sense Of the word. and that the recent
reports of difficulties between himself and
Corners had a basis Of foundation.
