DUCKETT SEEMS SAFE
FOR CENTRAL COM.

At noon today the Supervisors
of Elections. acting in the capa-
city of a Board of Canvassers, as
sembled for the official counting
of the ballots cast in last Fridays
primary election. but owing to
the length OF the ballot and the
large number of candidates. the
count had not proceeded further
than the Fourth district up TO the
time of going to press.
Special interest, of course. centers
1 on the nominations concerning which
doubt was shown TO exist on the face
/ of the unofficial returns In practlc-
! ally every instance the ticket hereto
/ fore indicated in these columns seems
TO be assured of nomination, although
from the way the count was running
in the first four districts. the on
lockers kwere prepared for turn
around in one or two OF the Offices.
For instance. Charles G. Feldmeyer.
of Annapolis. on the "Progressivef
ticket for the House of Delegates. de-
veloped stronger showing than had
been at first calculated. and he is
well up in the running with George E.
Rullman ons the Organization"
ticket. whose nomination had been
considered safe. Rullman's total vote
from these districts. plus the Fifth.
Is figured at 999 with 956 for Field
meyer. On the unofficial returns from
the Second Ward in Annapolis, how
lever, Rullman polled 264 votes as
against Feldmeyer's f2S. so that the
indications are, therefore, that the
legislative ticket will be. as forecast,
Baldwin. Dunlap Holladay Howard
and Rullman.
On the returns thus far tabulated,
not only is the nomination of w.
Meade Holiday of the Progressive
ticket assured. but so far as the count
has gone, he has the high total or
1,24S. with Annapolis and the Eighth
district yet TO be tabulated. On the
face of the meagre returns that came
in Friday night, some doubt was in
dicated as to Mr.. Holidays nomina-
tion over Frank o. Knopp, but this
was entirely dispelled, and 80 stated
In subsequent accounts. as more re-
| turns came.
State Central Com. still Close
Another position in which keen in
terest is displayed is the vote for the
State Central Committeeman Up to,
and including, the Fourth district, the
vote between Duckett and Revell, be-
tween whom the race has narrowed
down for sixth place on the tickets
was as follows: Duckett, 992: Revell.
S66. AS Duckett leads Revell in An
napolis and in the Eighth district,
and issnot far apart in the Fifth dis
/ trict, it is practically safe to say that
the State Central Committee will be
as follows: Chew, Douw and AndeT-
son. of the "Progressives," and
Strange, Myers and Duckett, OF the
Organization"
Another office in which some little
doubt has arisen up to the present
stages OF the official count is that of
Sheriff James T. Cox's majority over
r. Harry Arnold was figured at AZ up
10 the Fifth district. In one precinct
in this district there is said to be
practically a stand-off in the vote,
while in Annapolis. Arnold is under
stood to be considerably ahead. In the
Eighth district, however, Cox polled
big majority. and will in all prob
. ability come through by compare
lively small. although safe, majority.
