Washington, April 21 The Kitcli in-Uudger debate lias caused consid' erable comment here. North Caro lina has been in the limelight. The mountaineers Imve egged their con gressmen on . until one can smell blood. However, It makes It Inter esting for the Tar Heel newspaper men, and recently the state hat) de v velqped so many good dailies that the town is full of scribes, there being one for every two congressmen. This marks the progress of the Old North State. Five years ago two papers dominated the news field. , Thr.t is not true now for North Carolina has many excellent progressiva papers. The locstl paper Is growing every where., .It .14' ''almost. as -interesting, therefore, to watch the North 'Caro lina newspaper, In Washington as It Is to watoh tUe congressmen. Representative Kltchin's speech on the Canadian reciprocity bill was more than an advocacy of the meas ure. Jt will be used as a campaign document In North Carolina. Mr. Kltchin, who, in my opinion, is the most attractive speaker in the house, spoke with great force. Be ing large, well 'proportioned and handsome, he Is pleasing to look upon. Therefore, towering above the ordinary congressman as he does,.hc curries the houso, floor, galleries and all with hiuw In places his argu ment Is faulty and vulnerable, but as a rule plausible and logical, and his admirers so Idolize him t:iat the holes in his armor bhrink into insignifi cance during the' performance to re appear after It Is over. Some persons, among Liem a few uf Mr. Kltchin's real friends, are criticizing him for using the party liibh so vigorously, especially on North Carolina democrats who do not agree with biro. Others excuse him on the ground that ho hud a right to' get even with Senator Simmons, who is a rival of Brother W1U for send ing anti-reciprocity literature a Sim mons speech to the state and I vim? out an Interview- against house lead ers Clark and Underwood. 1 Regardless of what is said or what was Intended, the Kltchin speech hit harder In the state than It did here.

Excitement Over the Result At Fever Heat Tellers Began Counting the Votes at 10 O'clock I-iust N'iKlit ami Had Not Finished When the Convention Met. at 10 Today Both Hide He. Mined Confident. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 21 Kxcite ment was at fever heat tins morning among the delegates of the D A. R. when the convention met, in Conti nental Memorial Hall to hear the re sult of the election for president-general and other, officers on the Scott, or administration, and Story, or in surgent, tickets. , .'When the delegates met at 10:00 o'clock for the closing scenes of the convention it became known that It would be several hours yet before the result of the balloting was an nounced. Both sides were confident. : The following statements were given out: , "There Cin be no possible doubt that Mrs. Scott has been re-elected by at least 200 majority. Her adminis tration has been fully vindicated, and the victory will 'mark the end of in surgency in the ranks of the D. A. H."- Campaign manager for Mrs. Matthew T.. Scott. "':; "Mrs. Story will not win by a big majority, but she will be the victor in the contest by at least 20 votes. She has enjoyed loyal support and has waged a splendid fight against the administration." Campaign manager for Mrs. William Cumming Story. . The tellers , began counting the votes at 10:00 o'clock last night and the task was continued until an early hour this morning, when a re cess was taken until 8:00 o'clock, the count then being resumed. Today at an early hour hundreds of delegates, some of : whom had been up all night because of the ex citement prevailing over the election, hung around th toeed and locked room where the tellers were working. While both sides claimed victory Mrs. Scott seemed to have a small lead all the way through. This as sertion, however, was based only on the number of votes counted up to 10:00 o'clock this morning, but as there were yet several hundred votes to be considered the result was by ho means certain at that hour. In their hotels the two leaders, with their campaign managers and a coterie of intimate friends, awaited the returns of the eloction, while the telephones rang continually. Oh the face of Mrs. Scott was a confident smile, : ' , "I feel sure I shall win," she said, in the Story camp was the appre hension of doubt,' even though the hope of victory had not -gone. Mrs. Story was not confident. "The ballots will tell," she said. In the 190? election Mrs. Story received 428 votes and Mrs. Scott re ceived 4I!6, a majority of 8. The present struggle has been the most bitter in the hiBtory of the' or ganization. A mistake in the count of the bal lots, discovered when the count was almost finished this morning, caused the result to be further delayed.. President-general Mrs. Scot! an nounced that the result of the elec tion would not be announced until 8 o'clock tonight. It is believed that Mrs. Scott has been re-elected president-general, carrying with fier practically the wholo administration ticket of offi cers. This, however, is not certain, and the result Is still in doubt as the Storyites are still claiming their can didate and her ticket has won by a narrow margin. - Mrs. Scott's Election Conceded. Washington, April 21 Miss Eliz abeth Poe, press agent of Mrs. Wil liam C. Story, this afternoon con ceded the eloction of Mrs. Mattuew T. Scott as president general of the D. A.
