The contest for the presidency of the
State Senate assumed new phase on
Wednesday, when it was reported that
the Eastern Shore combination, in that
regard at least. had "gone to pieces, >
owing to the well-known fact that Sen
ator Charles T. Westcott of Kent
county had refused to join the other
Republican members from across the
bay, would refuse to vote for Mr.. Dry
den for president of the Senate, and
would also decline to vote for Dr.. Isaac
a. Barber for successor to Senator
German. 1t was also rumored that
Postmaster General Gary had advised
his adherents in the State Senate not
to vote for Mr.. Dryden for President
OF that body, but to vote for Mr.. West
colt Notwithstanding the fact that the
Kent county Senator has declined to
be candidate for the place. Should
these reports prove correct, it would
probably mean the withdrawal of the
votes of Senators Wilkinson of st.
Mary's, Day OF Howard, and Marsh of
Calvert, from the list of those OH whom
the Somerset county Senator relics for
his election, and result in the choice of
some other man for the place

weaker each day without hard
