NAME NEW alternate.
Republican Convention Fail
ed to Adopt Resolutions
for Filling Vacancies
COL. MARVIL'S PLACE
MAY NOT BE FILLED

Just how the vacancy in the posi-
tion of alternate from Sussex county
to the Republican National Conven-
tion will be Iilled is a problem. since
Colonel sirman d. Marvil. Of Laurel.
has rendered his resignation as alter
nate. There is a possibility that no
other alternate TO take the place OF
Colonel Marvil viii be named.
In the past Il has been customary
for the State convention to adopt a
resolutl VA authorizing tho State COM
mittee to fill any vacancy that may
occur by death, resignation or other
wise. but such A resolution did not
come buiore the convention In Dover
on Tuesday.
So far as could be learned today
by Edmund Mitchell whose term as
State chairman expired on Tuesday
and to whom Colonel Marvils resig-
nation was addressed. there Is moth
ing in the party rules providing Tor
the filling OF vacancies that might oc-
cur in the once OF alternate to the
national convention.
Chairman Mitchell today said that
in the absence Of any provision In the
party rules or by resolution. for hlling
a vacancy in the Office OF alternate he
will write TO the National committee
TO inquire what action should be taken
as TO naming a successor TO Colonel
Marvil
In the Sussex county caucus Col
onel Marvll was named for alternate
to Ruby r. Vale. Of Milford. national
delegate. II Mr.. Vale should 90 10
the convention-wh he expects Ia
do unless something unforeseen
should occur-there would be no ne

the convention ratified the selections
of the caucuses the election OF Captain
Harry V. Lyons and Colonel Marvil
as alternates from Sussex county
without any reference as TO whom
they should be alternates for. was
made by Chairman Richards. Some
