Close, With Both Sides
Predicting Victory
WILMINGTON, Del , June ! Today

fey a majority of about 1500 In the last
election James F. Price, who Is again tho
Republican candidate for Mayor, was
elected, by a majority of more than 3300
It la admitted, however, that the result to
morrow will be close.
Workers who were with Alfred I. du Pont
In the fight against Henry A. du ront for
United States Senator last November are
opposing the re-flection of Mayor Price and
Insist he Is the candidate of the Republican
organisation. The Nonpartisan Voters'
League, supposed to be composed of labor
men and others who are dissatisfied with
the present Republican organisation. Is also
making every effort to defeat the Republi
can candidate.
John; Wt Lawson, paymaster for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, is the candidate of
the Democratic party and is making an
active canvass. Dissatisfied Republicans
declare they will support Lawson in the con
test today, but the friends of Price
claim that not enough votes can be turned
to defeat their candidate.
Last night after the preliminaries had
Veen reviewed James Salusbury, chairman
el the Democratic City Committee, and Isaac
.W Bowers, chairmsn of the Republican
rjrst District Committee, predicted success
lev their sides. There wai mora talk of

STOCKHOLM CONFERENCE
GAINS IN IMPORTANCE
Events of Last Twenty-four Hours
Bring Socialist Peace Efforts Promi
nently Before Public
LONDON, June 2
Greater Importance Is now being attached
to the International Socialist peace confer
ence In Stockholm than ever before. Events
of the last twenty-four hours have brought
it prominently to the fore In public atten
tion. The action of the French Government In
refusing passports to French Socialists was
a severe blow to those promoting the con
ference, and It Is evident that the view of
the French Government Is similar to that
of the American Government
Tho United States was the first nation to
refuse passports to Socialists seeking to go
to Stockholm, and British Socialists are
waiting with keen curiosity to see If any
other Government follows a similar ex
ample. The belief is expressed In some circles
that the opinions given at Stockholm may
give a common ground for peace discussions
between the warring powers.

CONGRESS SQUIRMS M 4M
FROMUNDERLASH 1 M
Shows Signs of Balking at
Wilson Flogging for
War Bills
ABSOLUTISM IS FEARED
WASHINGTON June 2
The tendency of Congress to delegate ab
solute and dictatorial powers to the Pres
ident during the war period is disappearing
A strong reaction has set In, manifesting
Itself In a growing opposition to tho fur
ther transfer of the legislative functions to
the executive branch of the Government.
Hero are some of the signs of the pen
dulum's backward swing
Tho slashing of $300,000,000 from tho
war revenue bill over tho Administra
tion's direct protest
The killing of the censorship provision
of the espionage bill despite the Presi
dent's Insistence
Tho revolt on tho Democratic side
against the Administration preferential
routing bill called a "disguised antl
strike" measure
The refusal of tho House conferees to
accept the Senate's 1760,000,000 snipping
provision In the army and navy war
budget
Tho growing sentiment against the
establishment of a food dictatorship dur
ing tho war period.
This does not mean necessarily that Con
gress will refuse or fall to back the Presi
dent to the limit in the prosecution of the
war, but rather that It will Insist on having
Its "say" about the conduct of tho Govern
ment during the war.
FEATl ABSOLUTISM
There is an increasing fear in both houses
and in both parties In Congress that some
of the "absolutism" now being conferred
upon the Administration in the form of war
power may be retained after peace Is de
clared and that it may bo dlincult to shake
off some of the autocratic authority that
may be fastened upon the country while It
Is fighting Germany Much of the legisla
tion presslngly needed for the prosecution
of the war has been passed, and Congress Is
going to take Its time and give more careful
consideration to the bills it passes here
after. Manx Senators and Jlepresentatives feel,
moreover, that Congress should stay in ses
sion throughout the war period nnd, as a
result, they are not in any hurry to ring
the adjournment gong For Instance, the
Senate has been considering a minor food
bill more than ten dajs although those In
charge of the measure predicted It would
be passed In a day
The Senate Finance Committee Is putting
the finishing touches to tho war revenue
bill, having pruned it down to approxi
mately 11,600,000.000, despite the objections
of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, who
wanted 11,800.000,000.
BTniKG BILL CONTEST
Senator Holds, ot New Hampshire, was
ready today to launch a vigorous fight
against the so-called preferential bill, which
many members of Congress suspect ot being
an anti-strike bill under new alias and In
a new make-up.
The censorship' provision Is "dead as a
doornail It will be officially Interred by
the conferees on the espionage bill, Shorn
ot this contested section, the bill probably
will be agreed to now without much fur
ther objection.
The army and navy war budget, carrying
about tS,140,000,000 is back again In con
ference where further efforts will be made
today to bring about an agreement over
the section authorising a'1760,000,000 ex
penditure for shipping and making the
President virtually the shipping dictator of
the United States.
