ALEXANDRIA. VA, APRIL Is.


with the death of Hubert Snowden
coming In the midst of a closely con-
tested campaign, a most unusual situa-
tion has developed in Alexandra polit-
les. Snowden, who was a candidate for
mayor, was opposed by Albert ID. Brock
ett. The primary will be held next
Tuesday, and while the final arrange
ments have not yet been made for 1t
by the city Democratic committee, II Is
pointed out that they could hardly adopt
any other course than to declare Brock
EFT the party nominee. Heretofore, the
primary has been essential to an cleo
F., ton, the other parties not having suf-
ficient strength to warrant putting a
candidate in the field. In view of the
complications, however, there is some
little talk of an independent candidate
being named.
Through some Misunderstanding. the
| meeting OF the committee which was to
have been held last night to perfect
arrangements for the primary, did not
take place. Chairman Bendheim has
called a meeting for tonight, instead.
