WAKEFIELD FOR SECRETARY.
Democrats in This and Other States
Offer Support TO Former Cover

Former Governor Edwin Warfeld,
president Of the Maryland Filelity
and Deposit and Trust Companies, is
being urged by his Democratic
friends IN Maryland ssand in other
states for portfolio in the cabinet
Of President Woodrow Wilson. =
The portfolio suggested is that Of
Secretary Of the Navy. This sug-
gsstlon grows out Of the fact that as
governor and as resident in Annapo-
lis, Gov. Warfeld gained knowledge of
the Naval Academy and made an ex-
tensive acquaintance among naval
officers who designated him as the
Navy Governor.
The Navy portfolio is preferred by
the former Governors friends for him
because they believe that if inclined
to accept any appointment at the
hands of the next administration this
position would be most agreeable to
him. They are convinced that he
would not be willing to take up the
duties which would fall to him as
Secretary Of the Treasury, for which
honor he as also been suggested, Sec
retary OF the interior or Postmaster
General.
The former Governor was asked
yesterday If he were candidate for
a Cabinec portfolio or for any posi-
tion under the next administration.
He said that he had received many
offers of support, if needed, from his
Democratic friends in Maryland and
in other states for Cabinet appoint
ment, and that many CT his friends
suggested him as available for Secre-
tary Of the Navy, bat, he added, it
was premature to discuss the question
in any Of its bearings.

DEATH OF MR.. CEBHAUDT.
Local Manager for Isaac Benesch &
Sens for Is Years Dies After Brief
Illness Member Of Many
FraserDal Orders.

MIR George j. Gebhardt, age 40
years, for the last thirteen years
local manager for the firm of Isaac
Beneseh & Sons, died this morning
shortly before 10 O'Clock at his home,
No. 1T Green street, after brief ill-
ness.
Mr.. Gebhardt's death was entirely
unexpected, and Is great shock to
his many friends H : was at the large
stores on Main street, OF which he
was manager for the firm, up 20
o'clock Saturday afternoon, when he
was obliged to return to his home.
Death was due 20 nervous indigestion,
from which the deceased had been
suffering for some cime.
Although a man of splendid ply
sique. apparently strong and healthy
Mr.. Sebhardt had not been in the best
of health for some years since he
suffered from fall through the joists
of the present Main street stores
when building. At thst time his leg
was badly lacerated and he was con-
fined to his home for some time and
was unable to walk.
Complications developed and the
leg was badly swollen from time to
time, causing Mr.. Gebhardt much
pain and inconvenience. Last spring
aud summr he was obliged to ride in
carriage to the store every day, al
though living less than a block away.
Mr. Gebhardt was a man of ex-
tremely nervous temperament, and il
is said the late illness that resulted
in his death, was due, to some un-
pleasant incident in business. which
caused an undue nervous strain and
brought on nervous indigestion. He
had been engaged with the firm Of
Isaac Benech & Sons for the past
eighteen years, but had been manager
of the Annapolis stores for thirteen
years. And a most successful mana
ger, too. He knew the business from
A to 2, and he handled it throughout
its growth in a masterly manner.
At all times affable, courteous,
kind, considerate and polite, Mr.. Geb-
hardt was we'll liked by the Annapolis
public, and the stores patronage was
largely due TO its managers personal
magnetism, and the confidence the
purchasing public reposed in him.
They knew If he said thing was of
q certain kind and quality, il was so.
He never deceived anybody, and his
word could always be relied upon.
He was what the world calls "hon-
est" and square, and he lived up to
the standard.
Mr.. Gebhardt was a member Of sew
eral fraternal orders, including the
Elks, Eagles and st. Mary's Bay
Council, Catholic Benevolent Legion.
He was a member Of Sc. Mary's
Church, from which the funeral will
probably tax place, although arrange
ments have not been completed. HS
is survived by a widow and two Sons,
George j., Jr., and Francis Klauder
Jerome, named for the late rector Of
ST. Mary's Church.
