NORFOLK, VA, Oct. l5.--Who
will be- nominated by the Democratic
convention at Suffolk Monday to OPP
pose the Republican candidate in the
Second congressional district Is mat
ter of doubt.
That +. Z. Holland. who secured
eighty delegates in yesterdays prI-
mary. cannot win on the first ballot
seems assured The opposition mus
ters eighty-four delegates among
them. Neither Young, Maynard nor
Deal would talk OF any possible COM
bfnations to-day each processing 10
believe that he is certain to win.
End Not Yet.
L. f. Holland, when congratulated
merely said: The fight is not over
yet" Senator Holland said he hoped
70 be able to announce his delegates
to-day. but that the selection OF the
personnel OF the delegates he VIII
leave largely in the hands of his focai
friends. so far as the Norfolk and
Norfolk county delegate. are concern
cd.
He said he would think that the
delegates to the Suffolk convention
would only be such persons as are en-
titled to vote.
Upon the question raised BY e A.
Bilisoiy that Maynard and Young are
not entitled to representation where
neither received as many as fifty vcres,
senator Holland said this had caused
Misunderstanding that would nave
to be settled by the Suffolk conyen-
ton Itself. On this point the party
plan as laid down under the resoiu-
ton OF the district committee In Nor
folk says: ION Friday. October IA,
1910. there shall he held primary
Tor the selection Of delegates to con-
Vent,en. the ballot to contain the
names OF the candidate for Congress
and the various candidates shall name

dates in such cities and counties, eacf,

The question of the organization Of
the Suffolk convention on Monday is
to-day sU.i in doubt. With Holland
lacking sufficient strength to dictate
the temporary and permanent organ
azation for the body, IL is generally
predicted to-day that the Gem bined
opposition will most likely get to-
Gether and decide on the temporary
ofSanlzAtloH because OF the fact that
the only hope of either Young, May
nard. or Deal getting ti,e nomination
Is to prevent it going To Holland on
the first ballot.
With the temporary organization in
the hands of the Holland people
there would be possibility Of the cred
tfal committee to rule In the point
raised by Mr.. Biiioiy that neither
Young or Maynard are entitled Il
representation in counties where thas
did not received al many az nfty
