for his opinion of the outcome of the

Chaloner received a reporter in his

he should return to New York, he

LIQUOR MEN OPPOSE
KENT COUNTY'S CHOICE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Sept. 13.-Facing a
big fight over the Congressional nomi-
nation, the Democratic state conven-
ton convened shortly after / o'clock
this afternoon with Josiah Marvel as
temporary chairman and Charles +.
Curley, as secretary.
The invocation was made by the
Rev. Joseph B. Turner, of the Presby-
terian Church, here and Chairman
Marvel made speech as a keynote of
the Democratic campaign. After the
committees had been announced, the
convention took a recess.
The struggle over Congressman is
very keen and indications are that it
will leave a bad feeling because of
the injection of county rivalry and
the wet" and dry" issue into the sit
uation.
The Kent caucus has nominated
William Salisbury for Congress and
the Sussex caucus has nominated Robt
c. White. which gives New Castle
county delegates the balance of power
in open convention.
John p. Dickey, who is here repre-
senting New Castle county liquor in
terests and some of his friends haxe
been working hard against Mr.. Sauls-
bury, and claim that a majority of the
New Castle county delegates will vote
against Mr.. Salisbury in convention.
The White men are claiming at
least 25 delegates from New Castle and
some from Kent. If they can hold all
of the Sussex delegates for White it
would mean his nomination. Both the
White and Salisbury nominations
were made unanimous in the caucuses,
but it is doubtful whether they will
vote unanimously for the nominees.
Should there be no third nomination
for Congress in the convention it ap-
peared early this afternoon of Whites
chances were much better than Sauls-
bury's. One of the names tolked of
as a possibility for a third nomina-
tion is that of Benjamin A. Hazel OF
Smyrna, who developed some strength
in the Kent caucus. If he should be
placed in nomination it is believed
he would have a good chance Of win
ming in event of prolonged ballot
ing.
The New Castle delegates ar'
iauanimously behind Millard r. Davis
for State treasurer and he. in al
probability, will be nominated. ThI
Sussex caucus, however, has nomi

Guernsey by about 300 votes. The
Democratic leaders dispute these fig

congressional candidates have been
successful.

Gratis have not less than 93, and that
