CONVENTION TO DECIDE
SENATORIAL BATTLE or
DELAWARE DEM0CRAE
Bayard, Wolcott and HANDY
All of New Castle County.
Each Will Fail of Ma
jority in Caucus
LITTLE HARMONY HOPE

WILMINGTON, Dell Sept. 4.--Accora,r-
to best information obtainable the flsht ~
| the Democratic United States senator,.,
nomination will be thrown directly on tbs
floor of the state Convention at Dover "
morrow.
Seldom before have Democratic prjmatv
returns developed such perplexity of con.
tentlon. OF the three principal candIdatss
in New Castle County-Thomas r. Bavard
Josiah o. wolcott and former Congress
man L. Irving Handy--the last named an.
pears to have won the greater number Or
delegates to his banner. The question.
however Is whether he has gained a sun, :
cient number for a majority in the COUNTY
caucus which will be held tomorrow IN
Dover just before the convention Present
indications are that no one Of the three viii,
have a majority. which will mean that New
Castle County will present no name to ths
convention with its solid support
The Kent County caucus is expected "a
nominate Henry Ridgely, of Dover Mr.
Handy also is a resident of Kent, although
he practices law in Wilmington. SUSSEX
County probably will cast its vote for An.
drew j. Lynch, of Georgetown. From ali
of this II is readily deduced that unless
the leaders of the rival candidates are
able to get together on one tonight In
Dover much confusion and bitter fighting
Is to be anticipated In the convention itself
1t is known. of course, that the leaders
are particularly anxious for harmony, as
they are convinced the Democrats have
more than an even chance not only OF.
defeating Senator Henry A. du Pont the
Republican nominee for Senator. but OF
electing a State ticket and swinging the
State to Wilson In this they are counting
upon the prospective third party" Republic
can ticket which is being engineered by
Alfred l. du Pont, cousin of the Senator.
under ''purify-the-party" propaganda. 4
An old feud between the present Demo-
cratic Senator, Willard Salisbury and ex-
Congressman Handy and also between
Salisbury and Wolcott. who is at present
the State Attorney General, also adds to
the complexity of the situation.
Salisbury is expected to throw his in
fiuence to Bayard although there are re-
ports that he would like to see a down.
State man nominated and insure his own
denomination two years hence.
Naturally the division of the State OF.
fees will hinge largely upon the outcome
of the senatorial contest. 1t appears a
foregone conclusion, however, that Alfred
F. Polk, of Georgetown. Sussex County.
will be named for Congress IL Sussex does
not get either the nomination for Senator
or for Governor
