THAT EXTRA SESSION.

Governor Mann having left Rich
mond Sunday night for Frankfort, Kyr
to attend the Governors Conference, it
is improbable that he will not reply to
Mr.. II. St. George Tuckrr's request for
an extra session Of the legislature TO
legalize the primary until he returns on
December 8.
Mr.. Tucker is not in Norfolk and it
cannot be learned whether he has any
re ly to make to the statement OF Major
Mcintyre, chairman OF the sub-com.
mittee which investigated the primary
here. Mr.. Tucker, in his open letter
to the governor, said that the sub'com'
mittee's report contained a recon-
mendation for legalized primary,
which was later stricken out. Major
Mcintyre says it never contained such
a recommendation.
Mr.. Edward Echols, a member OF the
democratic state central committee,
and also a member OF the subcom-
mittee to investigate the charges Of
fraud in the primary OF the Second
congressional district, in an interview
in Stauntou yesterday emphatically de-
mics the statement made by Mr.. Tucker
in letter to Governor Mann that the
report Of the committee, when rought
to Richmond from Norfolk, contained
"a recommendation for q legalized pri-
may" He denies that any such rec
ommendation was ever incorporated in
the committees report, or that any
resolution to incorporate it was ever
presented in the committee,

ing Upper Machodoc creek, Virginia,

cradle project for the deepening OF the
