slider a Recount by Dele
gates May Be Necessary.

Baltimore, Nov. 6. Official
count of the votes for governor,
which began today, has reduced
the plurality of Albert c. Ritchie,
Democrat, over Harry w. Nice,
Republican. to 100. The unof-
fetal tabulation had given Ritchie
lead of 326.
The Democrats are certain to
control the new legislature, but
the Republicans are confident that
the completion of the official
count will show that Nice had
been elected governor.
Mountain Returns Slow.
The final returns are hinginR on
the vote at Elbow. a voting place
in the mountains OF Garrett County,
where a severe cut in Ritchie's
plurality was experienced.
Nice's confidence in his election
was bolstered by the new figures
issued at short intervals. 1t is con-
sidered possible that a recount of
the actual ballots will have to be
made by the house of delegates be-
fore the final results are deter
mined.
Nice returned this afternoon to
hts duties as State attorney. and
said he would issue no more state
nnents untA after the encial roun,
from the entire State.

not help. and the women died within
two hours of each other. The doctor

Objection by a Republican
Senator Prevented a Vote
Which Would Have Been
The Last Step Toward
Peace.
HITCHCOCK FOUGHT
FOR A FINAL VOTE
President Will Give the
Word Today as to
Whether Consideration
May Be Given Reserva-
tions by Pact's Friends.

The Senate was very close yes
tcrday to a vote on ratification of
the treaty without any reserva-
tions or amendments An objcc-
ton made by Senator Jones, Re-
publican. of Washington, was all
that prevented the roll from being
called on a motion by Senator
Hitchcock, the administration
leader, to accept the treaty just
as it was brought from Paris by
President Wilson.
Causes Commotion.
Senator Hitchcock's motion came
as the climax to a long parliamen-
tary wrangle over the question of
procedure. after Senator Lodge had
submitted to the Senate the program
OF reservations agreed upon by the
majority members of the Foreisn Re-
lations Committee. Hitchcock's mo-
tion caused great commotion on the
floor as Senators gathered in groups
to discuss what their action on the
motion should be. Members of the
House in large numbers flocked into
the Senate chamber in anticipation
OF witnessing the taking Of the vote.
But Senator Jones' objection sent
them all back again to their end Of
the Capitol.
Following his failure to obtain a
vote Senator Hitchcock announeed
that he had an appointment at the
White House today to discuss the sit
uation with the President. 1t is ex-
pected that the President will go
over the committee reservations with
Senator Hitchcock. and through him,
advise the administration Senators
whether or not they should vote to
reject the treaty II the majority un-
der Senator Lodges leadership sue
ceeds in putting the reservations on
to the resolution of ratification.
