The Washington times., 1921-11-09

by the counties OF the State early
this morning.
While no formal claims for victory
or admissions OF defeat were made
by the managers of either party, the
figures were definite. Out OF $50
city precincts Mr.. Gordy received in
270 of them 26,750 votes, to 81 .397
for Senator Oliver s. Metzerott,
Republican, indicating a probable
majority in the city Of more than
10, 900.
Mr.. Gordy also carried his home
county, Wicomico, according TO indi-
cations from early returns, by prob
ably l 700; Baltimore county by 1000
and Queen Anne's by 1900. He led
his ticket in practically every other
county.
The Democrats. according to indica.
tions given by incomplete, bu: scat.
tered returns. had carried by sub
stantial ma ajorities the first, second
end third legislative districts in the
city. The Republicans, according to
figures from forty-five out of ninety
six precincts, had carried the fourth
district for their house Of delegates
and city-wide candidates, out by
majorities below the normal Repub-
lican majority there. The negro can
didate there. David Robinson. was
probably elected. but this was not
certain.
The fight between Charles II. Heint-
ezman, Republican. and Benjamin w.
Fox, Democrat, for the Fourth dis
trict senatorship, however. was very
close and the last precinct may decide
the winner. Heintzeman ran far be-
hind his ticket. showing plainly the
effects OF the anticipated cutting he
received there. He was leading Mr..
Fox by only twenty-six votes with
fifty-eight out OF the ninety.six pre-
Cincts in the district tabulated.
DR.. Howard A. Kelley, running as
an independent for the House of Dele
gates in the Third district, who con-
Quoted spectacular campaign
through some churches, was beaten
badly. The six Democratic and the
six Republican candidates. including
the negro Republican candidate, ran
far ahead of the surgeon. More than
1000 votes separated him rom the
twelfth man on the list, with nearly
half OF the precincts In the district
heard from.
Judge Charles F. Stein, appointed
by Governor Ritchle TO succeed chief
Judge James p. Gorter as Associate
Judge OF the local Supreme Bench,
was leading Willis E. Myers, his Re-
publican opponent, by nearly 5000,
with half of the city precincts heard
from. His election also appeared
certain.
