LOWNDES IS LEADING.
Maryland Governor Seems to Be Sul
 to Succeed Gorman.

Baltimore, Md. Dec. 8.-In spite of the lead that Governor Lowndes ap- petrs to have in the race for United States senator, the Baltimore friends and supporters of Judge Louis D. Mo Comas declare that MT. Wellington $ old rival is by no means unworthy of serious consideration as a competitor. A great deal of quiet activity has been manifested in his behalf in the Last few days. The most conspicuous ad- vocates of the judges candidacy in Baltimore are Attorney General Cla baugh and MT. George R. Gather, Jr. His election would also prove mcst acceptable to a large number of younger republicans, who are opposed to the reelection of Senator Yelling ton as director of party affairs.
 Am effort is being made to start a strong McComas sentiment among the members of the city delegation at An napolis, and the claim is made that a number of delegates are now strongly inclined to vote for the judge when the time set for the election arrives. These votes in the city, together with the showing Judge McComas is ex- pected to make among the western Maryland members. his local ad- mirers calim, will make him for midable factor i'm the fight They hope at least to so complicate the sit uation as to defer the election indeti- nitely, in which case it is thought that the judge will stand an excellent chance of winning as the compromise candidate.
 The McComas men, as we'll as the supporters of the other candidates believe that Governor Lowndes will te least able to stand deadlock and that in the event of delay anti-Wel- Hngton sentiment may be effectively worked up to the detriment of the ex- ecutive and very much to the advan. tage of Judge McComas.
