NO FIGHT OVER
CLUB HOUSE MONEY
Likely That Bicycle Club
Members Will Divide the
Proceeds Of Sale

It was intimated this morning that
members Of the Wilmington Bicycle
Club would not engage in litigation
over the s2SoO derived from the sale
of the club house to private interests
last Friday. Following the sale Of
the property the two factions in the
club membership openly declared that
each would fight for a share Of the
proceeds Of the sale This litigation
was not expected 10 develop until Fri
day, when the sale Of the property viii
come of for confirmation in Superior
Court, but according to William S.
Hilles, who represents the present ac-
tive members of the club, no litigation
of any kind viii follow the sale of the
club house. At least Mr.. Hines had
heard Of none this morning. This he
ing the case the members of the club
are expected to agree on the distribu-
ton Of the $4,000.

would take steps to prevent the con-
iirmatlon Of the sale Of the club prop

DELEGATES TO BE
UNRESTRICTED
Republicans to Have EARLY
Convention to Elect
National Delegates

With the turning into the new year,
which is Presidential year, attention is
being given to matters political. There
viii have TO be two conventions of each
political party in Delaware this year,
the first TO elect delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. and the second TO
nominate the State ticket
In all probability the Republicans will
have an early convention to name ma
tional delegates and IT is likely that It
viii be held the middle or latter part
Of April The Republican National
Convention will be held in Chicago in
June, and Delaware is entitled to six
delegates to the convention.
II also is likely that Delaware's dele
cation viii be unpledged and unin-
structed TO the National convention, so
that the delegates will be free TO de-
eide among themselves for whom they
will vote for President in the conven-
ton.
II is a foregone conclusion that two
of the national delegates will be Sena-
tors Henry Henry A. DUPONT and Harry
A. Richardson. Just who the other dele
gate with Senator DUPONT from New
Castle county will be is problematical,
but It is said that the selection event
ually may narrow down to Genera T.
Coleman DUPONT, former Senator An
thony Higgins, or Mayor Horace Will
son, all of whose names are mentioned
In connection with the selection.
With Senator Richardson as one
of the delegates from Kent county there
is likely to be a contest for the other
delegate from that county, and the
llveliest struggle probably may be be-
tween Insurance Commissioner George
w. Marshall and former Senator j.
Frank Alice for the honor. Very little
speculation is indulged in as to the
Sussex delegation. although the name
of Congressman Hiram r. Burton is
prominently mentioned for one of the
delegates.
J. Edward AddicBs is the present ma
tional committeeman for Delaware, but
indications are that General T. Coleman
dupont viii be chosen as the next ma
tional committeeman for this State.

TIDES ISOLATE
DELAWARE CITY
Trolley and Railroad Traffic
Crippled by Storm OF
Yesterday

From noon yesterday until early this
morning Delaware City was without rail-
road or trolley communication, much
to the inconvenience OF the people Of the
town. The high tide, which accompanied
the storm. was responsible for the isola-
tion. The trolley service was the first to
be crippled. Gulleys were washed under
the tracks. allowing the rails TO sink and
making it impossible for cars to use the
line.
The railroad service became useless
after o'clock at which hour the tracks
were under two feet Of water. Driftwood
added further TO the trouble. During the
afternoon and night the railroad company
carried patrons Of the road TO and from
Reybold station, two miles out Of the
town. in cabs and only by this method
could persons get in or out OF the town.
The railroad service was restored to-day
but it will be night before trolley traffic
Is established.
