The Maryland senatorship

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 20.-The morn
ing of the third day of the contest fol
the United States senatorship from
Maryland found the forces of the va
rious candidates rather,more compactly
placed than has been the case on pre-
vious days, but with the end not yet in
sight. The McComas leaders confident
ly predicted that to.day's balloting
would show lgain of s votes for their
favorite. Ga the other hand the Shaw
leaders denied this and at the time
claimed that their candidate would gain
ten.
1t was also announced that the eau.
Gus of the republican members fixed to-
night would probably be postponed
until Monday night. One of the reasons
for this is to be found in the fact that
81 members, all republicans, held 3
conference late last night and decided
that under no circumstance would they

This fact has caused the McComas PEG
