Greatest Tenor.

New York. Dec. s1.-(By United
Press.)-Fear was expressed here
today that the golden voice" Of
Enrico Caruso may never again be
heard on the operate stage.
Despite unofficial reports from
his bedside that he was better, /"
following . second operation In
connection with his serious Illness
with pleurisy, the feeling grew
among his friends and admirers
that the series Of mishaps culmin-
ating in his present condition mark
the beginning Of . decline in the
musical career Of the most brill
liant tenor the world has ever
known.
1t is practically certain now that
Caruso cannot appear again at this
season Of the Metropolitan grand
opera.
No one but members Of the fam
lily, the six attending physicians
and the nursing stan has been per-
mitted to sec Caruso since his ILL
ness became admittedly serious
this week. But his apartments In
the Hotel Vanderbilt have been
deluged with messages of condo
lence from all parts Of the world
and with great bouquets OF flowers
including some which represent the
greatest self-denial by little groups
of his WOrShipefS in the noor0Y

FACT|ONAL FIGHTS
IN THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES TODAY
Spirited Contests for the Nomina.
ton Of County and Legislative
Candidates.
CITY AND RURAL
LEADERS AT ODDS

The Republicans Of New Castle county
are holding primaries for the nomination
of legislative and county tickets. Polls
opened at | o'clock and will close at z
o'clock, standard time, which is s o'clock,
Wilmington time.
Estimating the cost of the primaries
held today at s., $50, Mathematician
calculates the expense Of primary will
be at least ss,.50o when women vote.
The Levy Court, representing the. tar
ables, paws the bills. The cost could be
reduced by combining State and county
primaries.
Contests arc numerous today, and the
Wilmington and rural organizations are
battling for political supremacy. Politi-
clans also declare Colonel J. Austin
Ellison is trying to become dictator.
A 'Kilkenney cat fight" started before
the polls opened. Instead OF being two
sided, Old Organization and New Dis
pcnsation, as heretofore, the battle is
quadrangular, with Judge Daniel o.
Hastings representing one faction, United
States Senator l.. Heisier Ball, Thomas T.,
Peeney and Colonel j. Austin Ellison
leading another, Harry III. Billany, Ed
mund Mitchell and Charles III. Grant
land heading another and Isaac W. Bow
CTS NBt tttuAISd mum sSsif~
fornia, tackling the 'old gang" A more
bitter contest was never staged IN New
Castle county.
Because of the lack of harmony the
primaries have developed into an zig
nominious fight" Political workers, not
knowing who is the actual "'boss," are
running around wildly In search Of real
leadership. Distressed factionists are APP
pealing to the Voters Non-Partisan
League for assistance.
Edward NJ. Davis, who recently became
a resident OF Rock Manor, is fighting for
leadership In Brandywine hundred.
Senator Ball, former Governor Charles
r. Miller, Harry ii. Billany and other
Republicans held a harmony conference"
Thursday night, but it was unproductive.
