BALTIMORE, November SAL
bert c. Richie, democrat, was
elected governor over Harry w.
Nice, republican, by a plurality OF
approximately 900 votes, at yester-
days election In Maryland, accord
ing to unofficial returns and esti-
mates received up to O'Clock this
afternoon. 1t was the closest cleo
ton ever held in Maryland.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd. November Son
the face of returns Maryland has. ap-
parently, elected governor with only
a few hundred majority. the indica-
tions being that Albert c. Richie,
democratic candidate, is the fortunate
man. This fact cannot be accepted as
certainty, there being a possibility
that Harry w. Nice, the republican
lead when the official vote is counted.
Unofficial returns give the election
to Mr.. Richie by. approximately, 500
majority. with Kent, Dorchester and
Prince Georges counties to hear from.
Kent has. presumably, gone demo-
cratic. with Prince Georges certainly
in the republican column. Nothing
has been heard from Dorchester.
All the other democratic candidates
on the state ticket run close to Mr..
Richie with the exception of Maj. E.
Brook Lee. who carried the city of
Baltimore by about $500 majority.
According to the head lines in the
city newspapers the result is uncer-
tain. Election of Richie claimed by
1867 plurality" says the Baltimore
Sun; Result still in doubt, but favors

still doubtful" Baltimore Star.

BALTIMORE. November 5.-Albert

carried Baltimore city by 1,735 plu-

Richie, 1871; Nice, 52,236.
Incomplete reports gave the coun-
ties to Nice by several hundred less
plurality than Richie received in
Baltimore. but Galen L. TAFT, repub-

a rife association among the cadets
and to give the boys more Individual
training and craftsmanship than they
have been receiving. A supply OF up
to-date rifles has been obtained from
the War Department. Rife practice
will be a feature of the cadet work
in the spring and summer months,
when they can be taken to the Con-
gress Heights range.
Another object which Lieut.. Day has
in view is to make the war games, or
lessons in military science. played by
the cadet officers conform to the latest
methods of warfare.
