broken.
The 9th ballot stood as the first: E.
E. Holland, so: William A Young, 63;
Harry Maynard, II; Joseph Deal, Z.

Representative Maynard.
Young Followers Angry.
The convention has been in session
but an hour today, the morning being
devoted to conferences among the dis
gruntled partisans. The young adher-
ents are especially piqued, believing
the State committee should not have
ordered a new primary, but should have
thrown out only the precincts where
frauds occurred in the MaynardYoung
primary
This feeling accounts for leader
Trehy's attempt to let in a dark horse
rather than see Deal or Holland, the
added starters win the race.
A nomination must be made by to-
morrow night, as the Virginia laws re
quire that the name Of the nominee be
filed with the secretary OF common
wealth by that time.
Unless either Deal or Holland makes
a sacrifice this afternoon the conven-
ton may see another tiresome night OF
balloting.
The convention Is not likely to re-
verse itself on its dark horse stay our
decision, as il win take a tWo-thirds
majority to again bring up Trehy's plan.
