william w Knowles received but
nine votes in the entire New Castle
county caucus and William II, Boyce
is votes. with seven delegates not
voting. and two absent.
The Sussex caucus sprang some
thing OF surprise by unanimously
naming Judge w. H. Boyce as their
choice for representative IN Con-
gress. II is possible that Judge
Boyce's Kent county friends realiz-
ing the impossibility Of landing their
favorite for Senator, will turn in with
Sussex and nominate him for Con-
/ gresham.
What the remainder OF the ticket
will be depends entirely on whether
this program is carried out. Should
Wilmington secure the Senatorial
nomination and Kent county the
Congressional nomination. Sussex
county win undoubtedly insist on
getting two OF the three nominations
for State Offices, namely, State Treas
urer. State Auditor and Insurance
Commissioner
Rural New Castle county will
probably be allotted the other State
Office should the program be carried
out. Newton L. Grubb. of Brandy
wine hundred, is talked OF for the
nomination.
For the first time in the history
OF a political convention in Della
ware a woman will preside over the
Democratic session this afternoon.
Miss Ellen Samworth. OF Whining
