PRESTON FORMALLY
DECLARES FOR LEE
BaltimOre's Mayor Gives Out
Statement.
SAYS HE'S STRONGEST MAN.
Effort Being Made to Induce Frank A.
Furst TO Make the Fight.

The rapid-fire development yester-
day in the Democratic Gubernatorial
situation. caused by a movement to
bring Frank A. Furst into the field.
reached climax last night in a con
ference between Mr Furst and Mayor
Preston. of Baltimore. at the latter's
home, in that city. which lasted until
near midnight
After the conference Mr Furst sta
ted that the Mayor would continue his
support of Senator Blair Lee. and that
he tMr Furstl probably would an
nounce today whether he would run
Mayor Preston had given out state
ment earlier in the day in which he de-
clared that he would support Senator
Lee under any and all circumstances.
so that his position was understood be-
fore the conference
The question was as to MIR Fursts
course IL may be stated that he has
the matter under the most serious con
sideratiOn. that he is deeply impressed
by the appeals TO run which have been
made TO him i'm person by letter and
by telegram, but that the chances now
ear that he will not run. Mayor Pres
ton SAYS Lee is the strongest candidate
Probably nothing Ia politics of re-
cent years has caused SO much stir In
Baltimore as the proposal OF MrFurst
for the nomination and his Willingness
contrary to his attitude four and eight
years ago. 10 consider the suggestion
The city machine Democrats were
thrown into rather furor. notwith-
standing the Mayors firm stand for
Lee, because they recognized that II
Mr.. Furst got into the fight he would
put their control IN great danger
The Lee people were naturally upset
by the unexpected menace and the out
and-out Harrington men were down
hearted, although it was believed gen
orally that he Comptroller would with
draw gracefully for Mr.. Furst and aid
in swinging his strength to him.

OF the Fourth Infantry. Maryland Ma
tional Guard. commanded by Major II.
5. Barrett, took up its soldierly duties

The camp is located admirably on the

THE PANAMA-PACIFIC
EXPOSITION DESCRIBED
A Wonderful Display of Human
Achievements and Artistic
Beauty.
CALIFORNIA; HOSPITALITY.
Interesting Talk by An Eye Witness
Before the Just Government
League.

Yesterday afternoon. following the
regular bushes of the JustGovernment
League. an instructive talk was deliv-
cred by one of the members. Mrs. A. c.
Hin, who has recently returned from
the Panama Pacific Exposition.
Displaying panoramic view Of the
Exposition. Mrs. Hill. in a pleasant.
conversational manner. took her aud
fence in imagination through the ex-
tensive grounds and buildings of this
greatest Worlds Fair. The coloring,
she said. is itself marvel. the artists
having employed eight distinct colors
in this scheme of beauty.
The lighting, also, is wonderfully de-
signed. the lights being themselves
concealed. but shedding their radiance
in such manner as to cast no possi-
BILE shadows, The many large palaces
open up one immense court and are
connected by series of colonnades.-
giving the appearance of a typical
walled city" of the Orient
The State buildings are also worthy
representatives of their respective
commonwealths,th Maryland Building
being one of which we may be justly
proud. Virginia is represented by
reproduction of Mt. Vernon.
California. as Mrs. Hill said is es-
pecially adapted for such an Exposi-
tion. The natural scenery is exquis-
ite the hospitality of the people is
most cordial and gracious. Literally.
if stranger would ask citizen ito
go with him mile. he would go with
him twain" They are so ready 70 graf
ify their visitors.
The keynote OF this spirit is dis
played in an immnse electric sign look
ing out upon San Francisco Bay and
reading. California Welcomes The
World"
Besides describing this Exposition
and the equally beautiful one at San
Diego. Mrs Hill depicted the beauti-
ful mountain and water scenery OF the
surrounding country,and spoke of the
huge trees in virgin forests, and the
wonderful coloring of these trees as
we'll as their value for building pur-
poses and for furniture.
She paid beautiful tribute to the
great army of working men, whose
faithful services had constructed the
immense pile of architectural and ar
tistic loveliness. and whose untiring
efforts had converted swamp lands into
magic scene worthy of the ARABIAN
Nights
Mrs. Hills audience. which was un-
usually large, was highly pleased with
her instructive and entertaining talk,
and all felt a keen desire to journey at
once to San Francisco and see for
themselves its natural and artistic
beauties.
