NSoHlinueu from Il ltsl paSc.D
Judge Waddln had filed d memoran-
! dum calling attention TO friction which
was said TO exist between the various
branches of the government service.
Recent DEVELOPMENTS have ben view
ca with complacency by Democratic
leaders who see In this abnormal
amount of bitterness little change foI
any Republican gains in Virginia. III
sichlnond, for instance. there arc hun
1reds OF national Republicans, who
'oted for presidential electors, with
lut supporting Republican candidates
ior other offices. The party breach
aas grown SO big tina, it viii hardly
&c healed; 1t might be healed, as
somebody has already remarked, il
there Wore enough fat Jobs for every
Republican in the State
Mnny Contests.
The known contested delegates are
IS folows.
Eighteen from Richmond, three from
Chesterfield three from Goochland
county and two from Hanover coun-
~. Ii was reported last night. but the
funor could not be confirmed. that the
twelve delegates from iienrico, King
William, New Kent. James City and
Charles City counties and Williams
burg VIII also be contested.
Apparently neither side 10 willing
TO surrender and the fight Will GER
tainly be carried up 10 tho State Com
mittee, with the possibility that 1t will
be necessary for the National Com
nittec 70 clear up the muddlc
All OF yesterday both factions were
hard ut work. Conferences were held
throughout the day and night. but
none of the leaders Of either side was
willing TO discuss the probable out
come OF to-day's meeting. Both were
equally confident OF victory. which
was believed to be an indication that
the situation will again resolve itself
into two meetings.
Mr. Cabell, who is regarded rs the
almost sole issue OF the struggle, ar
rived in Richmond Saturday night, ana
VIII be on hand when the meeting
Is called to-day at noon.
FleScnhcincr Won't Talk.
MI. FleSenheimer declined to dis
cuss the letter. published IL The
Times Dispatch, which was written TO
him Saturday night by Dir. Moore, and
In which the latter agreed TO drop the
fight If Mr.. Flegcnheimer would pro-
duce affidavtts from 300 Republican
voters of Richmond who would swear
that they participated in the city con
Vention which elected AIR. Flegen-
heimer chairman.
Mr.. Tlegenheimsr said that ne had
not received tho letter, and his first
knowledge OF 1t wes when 1t was pub
lished yesterday morning
Neither did ne have anything to say
concerning the publication OF the lei

cnhcimcr. in which it was said that
