GOVERNOR AGAINST SON
High Polnt8 in Delaware
Factional Political Fight
PRIMARY today brings to close
blttorest factional fight in Re
publican political history in State.
Re-election of ConRrcssman
Thomas W. Miller, while favored by
both factions in party, is opposed by
Governor Charles R. MiUer, his
father. , . , , , ,
Opposition of father said to havo
developed from the thwnrting of his
own political ambitions through his
son's advancement
Regular organization loaders, It Is
alleged, took up young Miller to de
feat his father's ambition to suc
ceed United States Senator Henry
A. du Pont '
Big issuo is return of Senator
duPont, whoso renomination is op
posed by Alfred I. du Pont
Delegates elected today will meet
In Dover Tuesday to mako nil nomi
nations for November election.
JJl a Staff Cormpontlent
WILMINGTON. Del., AUK. 10. A father
and a son, tho former a aocrnor, the latter
e. Congressman pitted against each other In
all tho bitterness of a. factional political
contest this la one of tho curious sldo-de
vetopmenta In the complicated and heated
political fight which Is holding the attention
of the entire tato at the Kcpubltcan pri
maries today.
The father Is Governor Charles H. Miller.
Ho Is not an avowed candldato for any olllco
at this time. The son Is Congressman
Thomas TV. Millar, a candidate for re-election
and at present supported by both tho
regular organization Republican ltndero
and the Alfred I. dul'ont faction.
"While the defeat or renomination, of
Colonel Henry A. du Pont for the United
Btatcs Senatorshlp, the biggest suo In
tho State-wldo fight, will be virtually
known by 7 o'clock tonight when the polls
close, tho Miller family breach will not
even come to tho surfaco until next Tues
day, when tho delegates elected today will
meet In Dovor to nominate the Republican
candidates for tho November election.
It Is then that local politicians expect
Governor Miller to try to administer tho
"political spanking" which ho Is said to
havo promised his son should tho latter
bo a candidate this time.
The differences between tho Governor and
the Congressman and thoy wero purely
political differences began moro than two
years ago. At that tlmo the Republican
Organization was a eolld unit through the
State, there being no inkling that Alfred
I. du Pont would try to split the party In
nn effort to compa33 tho defeat of Senator
du Pont.
The Governor, although elected by tho
Organization under the leadership of Gen
eral T. Cbleman du Pont, Republican Na
tional Committeeman from Delaware, and
Senator du Pont, had shown on several
occasions signs of political Independence.
His Independence would npt havo been
BUfHctent to placo him In discredit with tho
Organization leaders, but coincident with It
developed a rumor that he was nursing am
bitions to succeed Colonel Henry A. du Pont
In the United States Senate
Without waiting positive proof that tho
rumor was founded on fact tho Organization
determined to forestall him. Immediately
Thomas W. Miller was groomed for tho
placo of Congressman, tho ldcn being that
as there are only three places of real honor
In Delawaro two of the3o places could not
be filled by members of thu same family
and the Governor would be forced to for
get his ambition at the expiration of his
gubernatorial term.
Just what passed between the father and
on then Is a matter of much speculation,
but not of definite knowledge among poli
ticians. But thero was a breach and tho
breach widened.
The second move to eliminate tho elder
Miller camo In the spring at tho primaries,
when delegates to the Republican National
Convention were elected. It had long been
a matter of official courtesy In Delaware to
send the Governor, If he was a Republican,
as one of the delegates to the National Con
vention. The Governor becamo a candidate for this
honor. Simultaneously the candidacy of
Major Edmund Mitchell, at that time Re
publican city chairman, became a fact and
General T. Coleman and Senator du Pont
swung their support to Mitchell. The con
test was bitterly fought and Mitchell won
the nomination. Charges of corruption were
made by Governor Miller and an appeal was
made to the State committee, but the com
mittee refused to hear the case, because,
Governor Miller charged, the du Ponts
forced them to ke.ep hands off.
The breach was then widened further and
the Governor, It Is declared, then began to
scheme the defeat of his son. The factional
fight fomented by Alfred I. du Pont within
the party might have provted a ripe oppor
tunity for the Governor, but unfortunately
during his term he had won the enmity o(
Alfred I. by announcing that he would not
sign a bill which the latter planned to force
through the Legislature as a part of his
scheme of personal and family vengeance.
Without the hope of support from either
Of the warring factions. It Is said, the
Governor has worked underground to have
elected at the primaries today enough
delegates to make him a potential factor at
Dover on Tuesday.
His plan, as viewed by politicians, will
not be to openly oppose the nomination of
his son, for there has been no candidate
except Congressman Miller suggested for
the congressional place; but he will rnake
an effort, by swinging a balance of power
between the two duPont factions, to force
his own name to be considered either as
a candidate to succeed himself as Gov
ernor or as United States Senator,
In the event of success in either case the
boom of Congressman Miller would Imme
diately fall for the reason that the Organi
sation cannot afford to have two members
of the same family continue to hold two of
the only three Important political places In
tha State.' The fact that Congressman
Miller has won unusual distinction In Con
gress during his first term and the fact that
he Is already looming big as a national
leader In the party would not, it is declared,
be sufficient to assure his nomination should
the schemes of his father run true.
The first fight. It Is expected, will be
made in naming the committee on rules of
the convention. This committee, which
consist of 13 delegate, three from each
county ana three from Wilmington, has
the. power to say which nominations
shall be made first Should they determine
to make the nominations for Congress first,
the defeat of Oavernor MWers plans Are
csrtain. But should they vote first on the.
senatorial and the gubernatorial vacancies
there Is every possibility, the leaders admit,
that the already complex situation in the
State may be further muddled.
Although some rhnw of a fight might be,
expected, at the p,. mar lea today, it la
paid, that the Governor has worked so
quietly that nons kpews just which candi
dates he has pledge to support him. The?
wily open ftght tpday will b4 between ths
AMrd I. du Pont faction, who claim, they
ih working' far "party purity,"' and the
ir lh ajaiKn jeaaers, wiw are
' aae u rtrtura ox mmawr uu Jfoot.

ARGENTINA MAY FLOAT
BIG LOAN IN NEW YORK
Retiring President of Republic
Consults With National City
Bank Representative
By CHARLES P. STEWART
BUE.VOS AIRES. Aug. 19. Recent con
ferences between Manager Titus, of tho
Rucno.1 Aires branch of tho National City
Dank of Now York, and Trosl'lent d? la
Plaza, of Argentina, have caused persist
ent reports that plans nro being dlHCiissed
for a $100,000,000 American gold loan
through tho National City Bank.
Minister of Finance Oliver today denied
tho report. Ho raid the de la Plaza
administration would not enter upon such
negotiation In the event of Its retirement,
In favor of the newly elected irlgoyen
regime. Tho rumors persist however, with
the additional report that President de la
Plaza's advisers have consulted President
elect Irlgoyen who favors such n trans
action. It Is rumored that tho loan will
be for 25 years ut 0 per cent Interest und
that its purpose will bo to take up
smaller outstanding Argentine obligations.
Becauso South America has suffered nu
merous rebuffs In attempts to float loans; In
tho United States financiers here believe
tho placing of a loan In the United States
at present would bo an excellent thing for
pan-American relations. Peru's failure to
obtain $200,000,000 In the United States,
and the experience of the Colombian city
of MedeMIn, which vainly tried to borrow
$400,000 In New York until German finan
ciers rushed to her rescue, are Instances
that liao Injured the United States in the
eyes of South America.
