Speeial Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., April 28.—The plan of some Democratic leaders to “draft” former Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Win- chester as a candidate for Congress has been abandoned as a result of the action of the seventh district Demo- cratic congressional committee Satur- day in calling for a primary to nomi- nate the opponent of Representative J. A. Garber, Republican, in the congres- sional election next Fall. Optional Under Law. Under the Virginia primary law, it is optional with party committees to make nominations by primaries or by con- ventions. The seventh district Demo- crats have used primaries when there | were contests for the nomination, and in serving notice for a primary this year they have followed their usual custom. | The Republicans, exercising this op- tional right, disregard primaries and nominate by conventions. There has been a good deal of conjecture and some sentiment in favor of the Demo- crats using the convention plan this Summer in the seventh district, but the congressional committee felt it unwise to depart from the old custom. Under the primary law, & candidate must file notice of intention to run 60 days be- fore the primary. In view of Byrd's decision not to seek the nomination, it is not belleved that there will be any candidate from the Valley section of the district. In this event, former Judge John W. Fish- burne of Albemarle County will be de- clared the nominee without the formal- ity of going through the primary. Un- der the law, if no other notice of candi- dacy is filed before June 5 except that of Mr. Pishburne he can be declared the nominee. Studies Preferred to Social Life. NORTHAMPTON, Mass.
