Atlanta, May Especial )-Congres-
sional results are in doubt In at least
three Georgia districts right now, and
there is decided probability that doubts
will develop in others before conclusions
have been settled by the state primary.
| One of the most interesting situations in
the state Is that in the Tenth district,
where Q. r. Eve of Augusta and A. w.
Evans of Sandersville are contesting the
seat of Congressman T. w. Hardwick.
at Louisville and Warrenton have attract
| ed attention all over the state
| Hardwick and Evans are both from
Washington county, and 1t is a fight be-
tween them for the home vote. There
seems to be a general impression, too,
that as goes Washington county, so goes
the district. In other words, it is said
that Hardwiclxs success or defeat de-
Ponds upon whether he carries his home
county; for II the two other candidates
carry enough counties even only to dead
lock the convention, 1t is safe to say they
will form a combination that will defeat
him.
Nevertheless, Hardwick expresses. SUI
preme confidence IN his election, while
the others feel that with Richmonds six
votes which are practically certain to go
to Eve, they will get enough votes in the
district to take the seat away from him.
After that would come settlement of the
question as to whom the seat should go.
Tn, hot ba
wick referred to Mr. Ewes personal ap-
pearance and remarked sarcastically,
Doesn't he look like a Congressman
now?" Mr.. Eve replied in kind but evil
IDENTIFY had forgotten or had not seen the
story which went the rounds of the press
some years ago, anent Hardwick's appear
ance in Congress. Mr.. Hardwick himself
is small and short of stature and, accord
ing to this story, was mistaken for page
by one of the older Congressman, who did
not know him and called with some SUE
expression as this Hey, Sonny take
this note over to Senator Aldrich" When
he discovered his mistake 1t is said, the
old member was even more chagrined
than Mr.. Hardwick.
In the Fifth district there is only one
man after the seat of the incumbent, but
William Schley Howard of DeKalb is
making things pretty lively for Congress
