CAUCUS WILL END
MARYLAND FIGHT
Vote Will Decide Between
German and Smith.
RAYNER STILL LEADS LIST
Smiths Forces Fear a Last Hour Trick
Which May Throw Election
to Carter
RAYNER STILL LEADS LIST

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Jan. 27.-Former
Governor Smiths forces IN the Senator
ship contest have taken the lead in call
ing Democratic caucus. which will
meet tonight. As IL was the Smith fol-
lowers who upset the caucus the night
before the Legislature met. this action
has been taken as meaning that Smith
was a sure winner. and that s. nator
German has met his Waterloo.
Late last night a story was circulated
which is received by the Smith man
ayers with ill-concealed uneasiness. to
the effect that German and Rasin are
but shamming defeat. and hope to get
a secret vote in caucus and thus land
Carter the winner. Such denouement
would be i'm line with the old-ume Cor
man Rasin methods.
Carter's Act a Blind.
The fact that Mr.. Carter wired Sena-
tor Jones a protest against q secret
caucus is by many regarded as a blind
So confident were the Smith managers
when they got out the caucus cali. that
they conceded TO Rayner everything
that was asked. The Smith people de-
sired to hold the caucus last night. but
Senator gin. who is i'm charge of Ray
ner's campaign. set up the protest OF
"AoP JtAShitiNs anu the STllltn man
ayers yielded twenty-four hours grace
Miles Holds Key.
smith adherents say that Miles, who
is strict organization man. will fur
nish the necessary votes to make IN a
former governors victory complete
The four Miles men took solemn oath
that they would never vote for Smith
with the mental reservation, except
upon the order Of Miles. which means
German.
hayner managers say the Jackson,
Miles. and Rayner factions will be found
together In the caucus. This would give
Hayner forty-eight. or two more than
enough; but it must be said that it is
only among the Rayner and jackson
people that this combination is cred
tied The Miles followers are absolutely
silent.
