M Rayner is ex-Attorney General OF this
State, and defended Rear Admiral schley be-
fore the court Of inquiry. He announced him
self as an unti-machine candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Senator McComas.
Mr.. German put up es his candidate ex-Gov-
ernor Smith but afterward shifted 10 Bernard
Carter. There were several other candidates
In the field. but the race lay between Mr.. Ray
ner and Senator Germans machine.
Ex-Governor Smith is very popular. and when
Senator German deserted him the Senator'S

/ that a. tho proper moment there would be a

IL was also suggested that there would be

Rayner would be ercte5 20 the Senate ana
4 Mr. Smith would be recognized State leader.
Mr.. Rayner. however. continued his fight
against the machine. and the deadlock remained
unbroken. SO late as the balloting to-day there
was no sign OF election. the ballots remain
