WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 10

THE registration and the canvas
made so far in the Congressional cam
paign in Maryland indicate that the
democrats are sure Of electing j. Harry
Coyington, OF Talbot county, in the
First district; Fred Talbot, in the
Second; State Senator S. Charles Lin
thicum, in the Fourth, and probably
George KONG, in the Third district.
State Senator German also is very
anxious to elect the democrat in the
Fifth district, J. Enos Ray, ir., and
il any democrat in southern Maryland
can carry Mudd's old district Ray is
the man to do it. Senator German s
harmony dinner last Wednesday, at
which he brought together not only
all the democratic leaders of different
views in the Fifth district, but also
representatives OF factions from else
where, had good effect. 1t termlna-
ted in a love feast at which the friends
OF Charles II. Stanley and }. Enos
Ray, who bitterly opposed each other
in the congressional primaries, clasped
hands and pledged to work together
TO redeem the Fifth. Even Governor
Crothers, who has been irritating the
party managers of late by his police
Investigations and other doings not IN
line with the organization, came to
the feast and, placing his hand upon
Young Germans shoulder, assured
him that he always was loyal demo-
crat and supporter Of the party nom
inee. He declared it would be happy
day for Maryland when that district
was won over by the democrats, and
he said he believed it would be accom-
plished this time. The dinner was
clever political stroke on Mr.. German S
part and showed that he possesses the
tact and diplomacy his late father had
in handling men and managing cam
paign.

THE SECOND DISTRICT CONvEN-
TlON.

At the conclusion OF the 442d ballot,
with no nomination in sight, the Second
district democratic convention in ses-
sion in Suffolk. took another recess at
midnight until 10 0 clock this morning
While the balloting was proceeding
perfunctorily, without any changes in
the voting. the democratic district COM
mittee, which had been charged by the
state central committee with the task OF
providing means for the selection OF a
nominee, held two meetings. II was
declared to lie the unanimous opinion
Of the committee that the convention
was not carrying out the rules OF the
committee, which provided the new pri-
mary convention" plan OF nomination,
in that the committee never contem-
plated the adoption OF convention rules
by which no candidate could ever be
nominated, as the result Of deadlock.
The district committee called into con-
ference the floor leaders OF Holland,
Young, Maynard and Deal, suggesting
that the rules OF the convention be so
changed as to bring about nomina-
ton in the end. The committees idea
was to go before the convention, il nee
essary, with statement and explana-
ton.
The floor leaders said that any state
ment by the committee would be re-
garded as undue interference, and
would not be accepted. The committee
then withdrew suggestions.
The only change in the situation
came last night when the SO Young
votes were cast solidly for Deal, which
added TO his votes, gave him 20. The
other men had the same number as
they have retained since the beginning
OF the balloting-Holland so and May
nard II.

Holland Nominated.

Especial Dispatch TO the Gazette.l
Suffolk, Oct. he. +. Holland was
nominated for Congress by the Second
district democratic convention on the
5O4th ballot. At 1905 O'Clock James
Trehy. leader Of the Young forces, an
nounced that enough Young votes had
been switched from Deal to Holland to
secure his election. This announce
ment came as a great surprise to the
convention which had never contem-
plated any such action on the part OF
Young, looking rather to Deal or even
Maynard for their necessary votes. AS
a matter Of fact the wise ones never ex-
pected to see Holland secure vote
from any OF the others, expecting to see
Deal or a dark horse chosen. The
dark horse was made almost impossible
yesterday by the action Of the commit
tee in ruling that no votes could be
cast for outsiders, and Deal was ex-
pected to pull in the plum in the course
of time. The excitement when Trehy
made his announcement was intense.

though the latter are making IT as warm

Senator McCue said: while I am no
admirer OF Roosevelt and had no idea
OF affronting him, my principal reason
Is that the colonel has the reputation
OF insulting his guests whenever he is
entertained. Before he gets away he
manages to insult them in a speech or
some way. and l do not think that the

the position Of receiving an insult of
any kind. Then, too. We are pretty

MUNICH DEPORTS BABE
UNDESIRABLE ALIEN" Is LOST
INFANT.
Lost by Policeman Afterward, When
Conveyed Into !.
Hungary.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BERLIN, August 20, 1910.
A curious case of lost baby Is at pres
eht exercising the Bavarian. Austrian and
Hungarian police.
Two years ago a man appeared at a
Munich police station with a baby boy
who. he said. had been left in his charge
by a woman who had not returned to
reclaim the child. The man then disap-
peared, leaving a false name and address.
It was afterward discovered that he
was a Hungarian and the father of the
child Negotiations were then opened
with Hungary with view to the baby s
expulsion as an undesirable alien"
The offer of a wealthy Munich manu-
facturer to adopt the child. though
strongly supported by the Hungarian po-
lice officials, was sternly rejected. The
negotiations occupied two years. Then
the child's expulsion was at length de-
termined upon and the infant was sent
to the frontier.
An Austrian gendarme next conveyed
the urchin to Hungary. There. however.
a Hungarian policeman mysterfously lost
him. The police of all three countries
are now occupied In searching for the
deported infant.

TO LEARN ABOUT PLUMBING.
Chicago School Girls to Be Taught
Sanitary Science.

CHICAGO. August pa course in
plumbing is an innovation announced for
the approaching new school term by
Supt. Ella Flagg Young yesterday.
80 many girls know no more about
the water and gas used in kitchens than
turn the faucet and the water flows,
or the gas is ready to light" said Mrs.
Young. in telling of the new course. I'VE
want them to know more about these
matters. from sanitary viewpoint
The course Is to be known as that of
sanitary science"
Pupils will be required to master such
details as how the water and gas are
distributed through mains to houses, then
to kitchens, how connections are made
and similar things.
With a proper understanding of these
matters. together with a knowledge of
how the waste water is carried away,
Mrs. Young says the students will be
better equipped to keep kitchens over
which they may rule In the future in a
more sanitary condition. At the same
time they will be armed with knowledge
that may save them money by avoiding
the necessity Of calling In the plumber
and by economy in the use OF gas.
