MR. GARY NOT A CANDIDATE
HE SAYS HE PREFERS his PLACE IN THT,
CABINET TO THE MARYLAND
SENATORSUIP.

Baltimore, Dec. II (Special).-Republican poll
ticians and candidates for United Senator were
greatly surprised to-day by the announcement
of Postmaster General Gary that he Is not
candidate for Senator; that his political ambi-
tion had been gratified; that he was proud OF
his place in the Cabinet. and that he would not
reinquish It for anything else. Mr. Gary was
considered the strongest candidate next to Gov
ernor Lowndes. In his declaration that he Is
not a candidate himself. the Postmaster-Gen-
eral says he is deeply interested In the contest,
bu: declines to say who is his favorite
Some of his friends say that while he would
under no condition enter the contest as a cam
didate, he would not decline II elected. II Gov
ernor Lowndes or an Eastern Shore candidate
cannot win. and .he caucus becomes dead
locked II Is believed that Mr.. Gary will be
named as a compromise. AS a member OF the
Cabinet he will take active part in the night.
but the party leaders we'll as his friends say
that his refusal to become a candidate does
not prevent him from being strong probability
In the fight.
State Senator Wilkinson. Of st. Mary's Coun-
ty one of the Postmaster-Generars closest po-
iitical friends. said that Mr.. Gary favored the
election of a candidate from the Eastern Shore
OF the State. This was the stand he took two
years ago as against Senator Wellington.
Either Colonel James c. Mullkn OF Talbot
County: State Senator Charles T. Westcott. Of
Kent, or ex-Judge George NJ. Russum. Of Caro-
line County would, 1t is said be acceptable to
Mr.. Gary.
Members-elect Of the Legislature who are In
the Lowndes- Wellington combination say that
Mr.. Garys announcement clears the way for
Governor Lowndes. and that his election as Sen
ator Germans successor is now assured.
