Glass Supporters Declare That
Five Of Ten Districts Will
Support Him
CONVENTION IS LITTLE
MORE THAN WEEK AWAY
Interest In Contest for National
Committeemanship Intense.
Third of Delegates to Be
Named

With little more than week TO
elapse before the State Democratic
convention is held in Roanoke June
2, to elect delegates to the National
Democratic Convention at Chicago,
mem bers of the State Democratic
committee. electors on the national
Democratic ticket, and a member of
the national committee from Fics lnia,
interest in The contest for the latter
place is intense. The aspirants of
fering are former State Senator Rorer
A. James. of Danville. and Representa-
tive Carter Glass. of the Sixth Eir-
ginia District. Friends and supporters
of both are claiming victory.
The contest is the most interesting
that has developed In years even
though il is not entirely along the
so-called factional lines OF organiZa-
ton against REORGANIZATION. Mem
bers of Congress from Virginia are
aligned differently than ever before ac-
cording to the claims of the Glass men
and the admissions of some of the
supporters of James. The Glass sup
porters declare that the Sixth District
representative will win. though they
concede that the finish may be close.
Supporters of James are not 81
modest. claiming that the Danville
man wifi win by large majority; that
he has some SEQ OF the 900 votes that
Will he cast for national committee
man a the State convention.
Claims BY Rival Forces
Claims made yesterday by the Glass
men gave the Sixth District congress
man the FIRST. Second, Fourth. Sixth
and Tenth Districts, while adInitting
that Mr. James would likely carry the
Third, Fifth. Seventh. Eighth and
Ninth. James men declared that the
Danyille man would carry every dis
tfict in the State except the Sixth, and
possibly the Tenth and FIRST, in which
there appears q clog. division between
Glass and James.
But few of the political divisions
of the state have instructed their
delegations. Yesterday there were
instructions given in two of the coun-
ties of the State.
These were IN tittsylvsnia, with
sixteen delegates. for Mr.. James, and
In Dinwiddie. with FIVE delegates. for
