Of Sussex for the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation gives a prospect for the live

Everybody is claiming victory, and
one shrewd Democratic observer this
morning remarked that a big game Of
blum is being played by the various
hackers of various candidates.
Handy Picks Davis.
In New Castel county, for instance,
former Congressman L. Irving Handy
before his departure for Dover this
morning claimed that Millard F. Davis
will have forty-fve delegates out OF
the sixty-fve from New Castle county
and that he will have ten from Sus-
sex county.
He was uncertain as TO whether any
Davis delegates would loom up from
Kent county, but he was shouting
Davis all right and predicting that
Davis would be nominated. He claimed
a clean sweep of most Of the VIII
mington delegates for Davis.
Saws Bird Will Control.
on the other hand the hackers OF
former Mayor Charles d. Bird were
equally as positive that Bird will con-
troll the New Castle county caucus.
Mr.. Bird was claiming 4S delegates,
but friend of his was positive that
Mr.. Bird would have thirty-nine dele
gates.

gates sure from New Castle county

The one bright spot Of fact that

sides the chauffeur, were a very pretty
woman and two men.
AS the car approached the bridge of

chickens nesting under bushes. Some of
the foolish chickens. squawldng, ran;
others flew right across the autos path.
A yellow hen, plainly much perturbed
flew over the car and at that instant
laid an egg, which fell in the pretty
woman's lap. The egg dropped gently in
the voluminous folds of her silk coat
and was not even cracked. Smiling, the
pretty woman picked up the egg and
looked back at the yellow hen. II was
cackling loudly as II to say:
