In that event DR.. Burton's chances
would not be very bright, for with
sixty to sixty-hve delegates from New
Castle county, and thirty from Kent
county, TO say nothing of Sussex, fav-
orable to Mr. Heald it would give the
nomination TO the wilmington lawyer.
There are to be 100 delegates in the
convention and eighty-one is necessary
20 a choice o a vote in open convention.
Walter o. Hoffecker. Of Smyrna, a
former Congressman, desires the Con-
gressional nomination but his boom
has not made much headway and he
will be able to marshal but few dele
gates from down the state. In that
event he IS being urged for Lieutenant
governor and unless he declines the use
of his name in all probability viii be
nominated for that office
