COMPROMISE FINDS FAVOR.
A move to drop both Wolcott and Sauls-
bury nj d take Up a dark horse was IN 1nch-
cd among the Sussex delegates, by Harvey
Hastings, one Of their number III advance
Of the caucuses His suggestion was that
the caucus FIRST vote on the proposition.
That failing. il seemed certain Senator
Wolcott would control the caucus.
The movement was started IN the lobby
of the Hotel Richardson, which was
lammcd with delegates and party men
from all over the State. II met with
favor and was seriously discussed bv
delegates from all over the State, many
OF whom looked upon it with favor
Both Senators Wolcott and Mr.. Sauls-
bury were in the hotel lobby crowd. and
each, Of course, had his group about him.
The delegates appeared in the maln,
however, to want To thresh the matter
out among themselves, and il was chiefly
among themselves they conferred.

a Georgetown delegate, 'if we don I
have a party fight on our hands. The
Republicans are all split up by the Lay
Townsend fight SO it up 10 us 10
have no fight. and II We can avoid one hy
dropping both candidates for national
committeeman, / am for doing 50, though
both are friends Of mine I'm Wolcott
man. but | have no objection 20 Senator
salisbury as national committeeman,
though If the election Of one or the other
is going to split the party, don't let is do
It.
This sentiment has echoed among
several Others in the crowd, and presently
they went off ip groups to talk the matter
over in advance Of the caucus.
The subject was mentioned TO some
Kent and New Castle delegates but they
had little time to talk it over IN advance
Of the county caucUses

which we're provided by Mrs Henry b.
Thompson, Mrs. Henry / Beers Mrs.
Clarence d. Sypherd and ether anti

As the morning progressed feeling that
there should be a compromise candidate
for National Committeeman strengthened
