DOVER, APRIL 20
The mystery concerning the Sussex
county situation in today's Republican
State Convention was penetrated this
morning Governor Townsend and his
opponents had made conflicting claims
regarding control of the Sussex delega-
ton. 1t developed today that some Sus-
sex delegates had pledged themselves
both for the governor and against hlm.
Because Of the alleged dupliclty It was
impossible, early IN the morning. to fore
cast the result of the Sussex fight
Friends of United States Senator l..
Heisler Ball expressed hope, this morn
ing, that he would be elected national
delegate from rural New Castle county.
Others said he could not 60 to Chicago
because he contemplates accompanying
Senatorial colleagues on tour OF the
Orient Senator Ball, however. had pre-
viously announced he did not expect TO
go ON this trip.
MANY Republicans believed. early to-
dav. that Alden r. Benson would be one
of kent's delegates to Chicago. For the
other delegate from Kent there was
fight among former Congressman Walter
O. Hoffecker, ID. Nj. Wilson, John W.
Herring and James IL. Hirons.
Robert H. Richards brought from
Wilmington, today, the tentative draft
of platform.
STILL FIGHTING GOVERNOR.
Sussex opposition to Governor Town
send did not diminish early today. Be
cause Of its bitterness, there was talk Of
throwing the Sussex fight on the conven-
ton floor Opponents of the governor
proposed that should this he done, or
should the way be paved to elect him dele
gate-at-large to Chicago by the with
drawal OF some one elected from another
county. the Sussex delegation should
revolt and march III a body from the
| convention hall
The convention crowd that spent last
night here gathered on the postofice side
