RETURNS WELL bE
 CANVASSED TODAY  Considerable Interest Is At. tached to Meeting of the
 State Committee

Montgomery, May 25.-tSpeeial.)-C siderable interest is attached to the meet ing here tomorrow of the state demo- cratic executive committee, which will assemble for the purpose of canvassing the returns of the recent primary cleo ton. The meeting will be held in the Exchange hotel at noon, and indica- tions are that there will be d good at tendance of the old committee.
 One of the acts of the committee at it's session tomorrow will be the adoption of a resolution to refund approximately one-half of the assessments fixed against candidates for various state and con- gressional offices in the primary on April 6. A liberal amount of the assessment fund will be set aside for the use of the new committee, and it is believed that there will then be left sufficient money to refund to candidates 50 per cent of the fees they were assessed
 The meeting tomorrow will probably be the last which the old committee will hold Future party politics will be in the hands of the new committed, of which General Bibb Graves of Montgomery. will serve as chairman. Chairman Graves has an nounced that he expects to call the new committee together in June for the pur- pose of organization and to hear any con tests which may arise. However, it is not expected that there win be any contests.
