Nelson u. Aldrich has changed somewhat,
and tonight there IS a feeling that the
long-threatened deadlock may not develop
Henry T. Lippitt, the candidate OF the reg
uIar Republican organization, is looked
upon IN many quarters as the probable
winner. and what few wasers are beins
made on the result show odds in his
favor.
Lippitts election, however, IS by no
means conceded by the supporters Of Judge
lie Baron q. Colt, the candidate Of the in
surgent wing Of the party, and the con-
test showed no sign Of abatement tonight.
In MANY quarters II is declared that the
prestige Of the regular Republican organ
ization in Rhode Island hinges on the re-
suit Of the ballotlng of the General As
sembly tomorrow.
