WILL GET TWENTY VOTES.
Byrd Says Virginia Delegation, As
Between Clark and Wilson
Greatly Favors Latter.

Baltimore, June Ex-Governor Will
son will get nearly the entire Virgin
ia vote if the contest narrows down
to Clark or Wilson.
About the middle of the day Mr..
Speaker Byrd said that Underwood,
at the outset of the balloting would
get II votes, Clark and Wilson 9.
He anticipated the early elimlnat-
ion of Underwood.
"In a straight out fight between
Clark and Wilson, proceeded Mr.
Byrd, "Wilson will receive twenty
Virginia votes and Clark only four.
AS between these TWO candidates,
Mr.. Flood and Mr.. Trehy will be am
ong those who will vote for Wilson.
This information was in the nature
of surprise. The Gazette cores
pondent until that moment, had under
stood from members of the Virginia
delegation that Wilson under no cir
cumstances, would get more than .
Virginia votes. This is the way every
body had the situation sized up.
Mr.. Byrd spoke with an air OF con-
fdence. Apparently he has no doubt
about it. 1t is not believed that Sen
ator Martin or Senator Swanson will
vote for Wilson. Both are said to be
dead opposed to him.
About the hotel lobbies this morn
ing the general opinion seemed to be
that Clark would be the presidential
nominee.
On the other hand Wilson'S sup
porters affirmed that with Bryan at
his back Wilson would certainly keep
more than one-third of the votes from
Clark.
Even if Wilson does not win it is
declared that he will be able to de-
feat Clark.

her father and mother reside, and that
she is the victim Of abandonment on
the part of her husband. During her
stay in this city she has been an in
mate of the Alexandria Hospital ami
the Crittenton Home.
Justice Cation concluded TO hold her
until arrangements can be made to
send her home or place her in an III
stitution.

THE DEATH OF MISS BROOKE.

News of the death Of Miss Lucy
Brooke, daughter of Rev. DR.. f. }.
Brooke. from burns caused by the eX-
plosion of an alcohol lamp upon which
she was heating milk, at her home IN
Romney, w. Va. was received in this
city yesterday.
An item in a morning paper stated
that Miss Brooke had been seriously
burned on Monday night, but 1t was
hoped that her injuries would not
prove fatal. In the afternoon, how
ever, dispatch was received in this
city announcing the death of the
Young woman. The news of the dis
tressing accident caused general re-
gret in Alexandria when it was read
in Yesterdays Gazette. Rev Dr.
Brooke was pastor of the Second fres
byterian Church in this city from
1900 to 1906, during which time ne
and the members of his family became
known to many Alexandrians, forming
lifelong friendships. During his ser
vice in this city Mrs. Brooke dled IN
hospital in Richmond; hence this IS
the second time in recent years ms
home has been cast into sorrow by
visits from the angel of death. Inc
many friends and acquaintances OF
the family tender their sincere sym
nathv at a time when the force OF the
Injunction, Rejoice with them VINO
do rejoice and weep with them who
weep" appeals to all, while the con-
ISOLATION in the assurance, "They that
sow in tears shall reap in JOY, Dlunts
the keen edge of our affections.
