Eighth Year - Dirscto

"rt8ntsOus EtBnta hSsr -
The announcement OF the re-
engagement of Sydney Lloyd Wright
SON for his eighth year as musical
director OF the choir of the Church
OF the Covenant IL not alone a church
announcement, but registers In the
musical life of the city as another
milestone In history.
Mr.. Wfightson has assembled q
choir of oratorio proportions that has
done much TO maintain the music OF
oratorio-the highest form of massed
sacred music-in the National Capital.
His chorus choir of 200. with soloists,
sings every Sunday evening in the
Church of the Covenant.
The Washington Oratorio Society Is
also under the direction OF Mr..
wriKhtson. who brings to his work
all the traditions of England In this
music form. Through this latter or
ganization he has given Washington
"free" oratorio in splendid rendi-
lions of many Of the standard works.
Not that free concerts are an essen
tial, or always desirable benefit.
The benefit of Mr.. Wrightson's
years of directorship nn>Washington
have been in giving an inspiriting
impetus to this large form of music
that he interprets sincerely and SO
well. His continuance in the work
Is a source of qualification to music
lovers.

LOOKS LIKE DEADLOCK
IN GEORGIA PRIMARY

Atlanta, Ga, Apr1 21.--At mid
night though Attorney eneral Pal
mer had a lead in the results of yes-
terday's Georgia presidential pri-
mary preference, il was certain neither
he, Secnator Hokee Smith. nor Thomas
T. Watson would have a majority
in the state Democratic convention,
thus throwing the convention into a
deadlock. Watson was second in the
race with Smith third.
Later returns may change the
standing of either or all of the con-
testants but it is practically impossi-
BILE that either will have majority
The surprise Of the primary was the
strength developed by Thomas f.
Watson. twice a candidate for presi-
dental on the populist ticket and once
candidate for yicepresident with Will
liam J. Bryan as the ticket head.
