Wilmington, Del, July 3.-The
most important political development
Of the year in Delaware became
known this week, when it was
learned that r.. Coleman Du Pont,
president of the Du Pont Powder com
pany, had withdrawn from the active
duties of chairman Of the republican
state committee. Mayor Horace Will
vice chairman of the state committee
with full power"
While it is given out that the rea-
son for Du Points withdrawal from
the management of the committee s
affairs is because. of his illness, it is
stated this step is but the forerunner
of his complete retirement from par
ticipation in politics.
1t has been understood for some
time that the officials of the Du Pont
Powder company do not indOrse r.
Coleman Du Points political ambi-
tions. 1t is rumored Furthermore, that
pressure is being brought to bear upon
him to have him abandon politics.
The primary reason for this is due to
the fact, as previously announced,
that the institution by the govern
ment of the present suit against the
Du Pont Powder company, for alleged
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, is attributed to his political ac-
tivity. In this connection, it is said,
the political aspirations of, Senator Du
Pont, a cousin of the state chairman,
have likewise played a part.
The situation, therefore, is of the
utmost Importance as having a direct
bearing on the affairs of the powder
company with its capitalization of
$50, 900 900.
Il. Coleman Dn Pont has been i'll for
six months; he has not during that
time attended to any Of his duties as
