The damage done at Charleston 10 be-

men in double shifts. The sea wall will
have to be rebuilt in a number of places,
the stout masonry having been literally
pounded away by the force Of the
waves.
Most graphic Of all the stories Of
narrow escapes was that told by pas
segers of the Clyde liner Apache. The
vessel was caught in the center of the
hurricane of Charleston and only a
fortunate shift In the wind prevented
her being washed ashore on Hunting
Island
The full story of destruction has not

received from several Of the outlying
islands. which are occupied mostly by
colored people and fishermen. A num-
ber Of small vessels are still unaccount-

Republican Convention as far as organ
ization can bring about that control,
and to control the nomination Of O can

There are two principal reasons for

GORkAN APPARENT
VICTOR IN PRIMARY
FIGHT BY ONE VOTE
Lee Yet Expects Majority
for Maryland Governor
! ship Nomination.

BALTIMORE. Md. Aug. S0-Arthur
Puc German. son Of the late Senator of
the same mama. has apparently won the
Democratic nomination for governor of
Maryland by the very narrow margin
of one vote in the State convention.
While in yesterdays primaries he CAP
tdred the entire city delegation of Bal
tiinore. his opponent. Blair Lee, made
such valiant run in the counties that
The total Of his delegates are near the
sixty-five mark. which will constitute
majority in the convention next
month.
The best that the German people
are able to count on today is an even
stxty-hve ballots, which will leave
Lee sixty-four. Friends of Lee con-
tend that the revised returns and be-
lated figures will show they have
captured one more county than has
been accredited to them. II their
hopes and predictions are true their
candidate viii nose out over German
by a few votes.
Three Counties Tady.
The counties that are tardy in CIV
ing complete returns are Anne Arun-
del, Allegheny and Wicomico.
At noon It looks as II Ammo Arundel
is sure for German. so that to that ex-
tent the hopes OF the Montgomery coun-
ty Is undermined.
They have greater grounds for their
expectations In the case Of Allegany
and Wicomico, however, and persistent
reports that Allegany has enrolled itself
IN the Lee columns are not without some
tendency to depress the hilarious in the
German camp.
Germans success in Baltimore city,
all four legislative districts OF which he
carried with a majority over Lee of
something like 1900 is directly attrib-
utable to the solid front presented by
the organization forces directed by John
J: Mahon, the local leader. Every
ward went for the man backed by
Mahon and the phalanx which he leads,
ana incidentally every other candidate
supported by the organization won a
sweeping victory with one exception.
Even in that case. that Of the
shrlenalty. the organization man. was
VICTORIOUS but can count his majority |
IN the hundreds only, instead of thous-
ands as the others do.
Defeated For Sheriff.
Tom" McNulty. the defeated candi-
date for sheriff, has a host of follow
ers. He says he thought he had the
organization with him until a few days
before election. He found he was to he |
opposed by ]. Albert Hughes, and made
q public appeal, directing attention TO
what he intimated was treachery. He |
lost by only 800 votes
There was no contest for the baad
Sf the Republican ticket, Phillips Lee

cation from all over the State for tie /
gubernatorial nomination.

valley of Virginia with Leonard
Brown, of the Mckinley Manual
Training School. The card was sent
from Alton, Va. Mr.. Hibbs reported
that he and Mr.. Brown were strolling
leisurely along at the rate of twenty
two miles a day. The hospitality of
the farmers of Virginia was keeping
down their desire to break records,
he wrote.
He said it was pretty hard to leave
such delightful homes as they had
been permitted to stay in. The walk
ers will return to Washington after
covering more than 200 miles.

The result is that the game has been lifted
