Chapter numbers are automatically assigned when you export to LaTeX
unless you turn off numbering. You can also control numbering with the
following code.

#+OPTIONS: num:t

#+OPTIONS: num:nil

The first line turns on numbering of exported headlines, and the second
line turns off numbering of exported headlines. You can then eliminate
the numbers in the headlines of your org file.

See the following link for more information about export options.
