Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. July 31.-Dr
Charles A. Wells Of Hyattsville, nom
mated at the democratic convention here
last Thursday for the state senate, was
shown the story to the effect that he
would not accept the nomination, but
that it would be offered in turn to judge
T. Van Clagett and State Senator Will
liam b. Clagett, and If neither accepted
would then be rendered to j. Enos Ray,
jr, whom he defeated in the primary con-
test.
DR.. Wells laughed heartily and charac-
terized the story as IAN invention of the
enemy Asked for a definite statement
upon the subject, he said:
Il have been quite i'll for the past three
months 1 suppose my indisposition
started the report.
after a short sea trip I shall go to
some quiet watering place, returning
about the middle Of September. when a
brief but vigorous campaign will be pros
ecuted.
Il have not the slightest intention at
this time of withdrawing from the con-
test, and have no doubt that the entire
democratic ticket in Prince George
county will be elected. Both factions are
satisfied with the ticket nominated last
Thursday. I see no reason why we
should not poll the solid democratic vote
