Republicans NAMED
DELEGATES TOMORROW
lcontinued from Flrst Pagel

Friends or senator dufOnt also claim
they will elect a majority OF the dele
gates from rural New Castle county
and from Wilmington. despite the
desperate methods being resorted to
by the opposition.
The situation IN wilmington is
complicated by the fact that some Re
publican workers are pretending to be
for the denomination Of Senator du-
Pont, when they really are opposed to
him. The keenest contests in viii
mington are in the First, Fifth, Sixth.
Eighth and Ninth wards, where there
are rival tickets. One set Of candidates
claims TO be straight-out for the re-
nomination OF Senator DUPONT and
Congressman Miller, while the other
set OF candidates in some Of those
wards is reported to be luke-warm to-
ward the denomination OF the Senator,
although mostly for Congressman Mil
ler's denomination.
There also are many spirited con-
tests in rural New Castle county, the
keenest being in Brandywine, Chris
tiana. part of Mill Creek. White Clay
and New Castle hundreds. Both
sides are exerting every effort to win
the delegates on those hundreds. Not
withstandlpg the strenuous campaign
made by Price and Tinsman, who
are the Allee-Groves candidates in the
Richardson Park district of Christi
ana hundred, the friends of Gamble
and Greer. who are the supporters OF
Senator dupont In that district, are
predicting that Gamble and Greer will
be elected
In New Castle hundred there prom
/ ises TO be an exceedingly warm con-
test for delegate William s. Hilles is
opposed In the Fourth district by
| Thomas Lally, a young colored man.
In the district there are 102 Republi-
cans registered. There are hfty-
seven white men and forty-hve col
ored men on the registration lists.
Lally is being supported by three OF
four white men and by the colored
| leaders. The feeling among the peo-
pie Is very strong because Mr.. Hilles
Is one OF the best known men In the
state and has ever been ready and
willing to assist In the campaigns de.
~irous at all times for the success OF
the Republican party. When the Re
puhllcans held their meeting Mr.. Hill
les was the unanimous choice OF the
men present at the meeting Since
then some OF them for some mysteri'
Gus reason changed their minds and
have been supporting Lally.
There are rumors afoat to the effect
that money Is TO be used tomorrow
TO try TO defeat Mr.. Hilles and to In.
duence the colored voters. 1T will
not do for me to see any one Offering
money TO voters tomorrow" said an
elderly colored man today.
"Ially has never been in cam
paign. The white Republicans az
well as the colored mon always look
ed up TO Mr. Hilles for advice and
example. For my part | feel Mr.
Hilles Ia the best man TO attend the
convention, and am going TO vote for
. him.
James y. Hance. whose name was
filed without his knowledge and who
withdrew several days ago, desires 10
say he Is not a candidate for delegate.
When voters get 10 the polls in the
Second district they will not find his
name on the ticket.
James ]. Whalen was considerably
perturbed last evening. He filed his
name personally for delegate In the
Third district in opposition TO Will
liam ]. Etchells. When the tickets
we're printed for the Shawtown dis
trict Whalen's name was not on the
ticket He has been an ardent, hard
working Republican for years.
The delegates from New Castle hun
bred are in favor OF Colonel Henry
A. dupont for United States Senator.
Lally Is opposed TO Mr. DUPONT and
another delegate In the Fifth district
has another choice on the first bal
4 lot. Il Is said,
