DEMOCRATS. AIM
TO AVERT FIGHT
GOVERNOR DESIRES AGREEMENT
BE REACHED BEFORE STATE
RALLY TAKES PLACE

In an effort to forestall fight on
the floor of the Democratic StaGe
Convention May 20, party leaders are
holding conferences looking towards
compromise, ON the delegation to be
sent to the national convention. Gov
ernor Richie was one of those pres
ent last night.
II no agreement is reached, the fight
on the floor of tho State Convention
probably will determine whether the
delegation of 80 to the national con-
vention is named by the State Conven-
ton as whole or by separate caucus
in each Congressional district. This
point will have important bearing on
the makeup of the national delegation.
Should the district caucus plan be
adopted, the Estate crowd headed by
former Senator John Walter Smith,
probably will control at least one dis.
trict-the Eastern Shore. City lead
ers will name the delegation from
Baltimore, including two complete
districts, leaving the Richie forces
with three districts and hopelessly
splitting the solidarity of the delega-
ton.
AS the situation is viewed, John ].
Mahon now holds the balance of
power" in the State convention. He
will name solid block of AZ of the
11S delegates. Hence, alliance with
him is said, to be sought by both the
Ritchie-Lee forces and the Smith fac
tion in the State. Mr.. Mahon so far
has been non-committal. it is said.
The Governors attitude is under
stood to be that while he does not
seek personal power through control
of the national delegation, he believes
the prestige of the State will be i'm
paired by discordant delegation. He
thinks Maryland should present a solid
front in national affairs.
Appointments to be made within a
few days by the Governor may have
some bearing on the convention situa-
ton. One of these is police magis-
tracy-atslarge in the city John M.
Pohlhaus, who had strong backing
from city leaders, is said to have
dropped from the picture because of
activity on his behalf by Senator VII
liam Curran.
The leading candidates now are said
to be William F. Jacobs, of East Balti-
more, former member of the City
Council, and C. Charles Friedel, for
merly a police magistrate and later a
clerk to the Council.

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, July 10.
States Attorney Ellsworth R..

The case is the outgrowth Of the

band had been boarding at their
home and that because of his init.
macy with the girl they had re-
quested him to leave.
He is said to have complied with
their request but on the night fol-
lowing came to the house and got
the girl. They came to Hagerstown
and were married by the Rev.
Lonier early in the morning. The
husband was later arrested and has
since been held In Jail on a charge

girl.
The husband is said to have ad-

Suicide Attempt.
His attempt at suicide since in

young couples late at night.
Since that time States Attorney
Roulette has been making a quiet
investigation of the case and today
directed Justice Bower to issue the
warrant. The Rev. Lonier Is the
first minister ordered arrested in

earmarks of a valuable player. He

develop him into a half back or end.
Usual Early Fumbles
Through scrimmage Wednesday,
Page was frantic because Of the rat
t~'e-brained football displayed. The
rudiments of the game were violated.
Fumbling was just like it always is
in the early season, and the kicking
was poor. When Griggs is ready
the place-kicking viii be taken care
of. Nipper can drop kick and Mig
Woods is a punter of past fame. The
team average in weight will fall
about ten pounds below that of last
year, It seems from observation. The
speed of the team at this early date
seems almost equal to that Of last.
Page said he had twenty-five let
ter men last year and four graduated.
Ten are back and six more are sup
posed to return. Butler looks bet
ter than it did at this time last year.
There probably will be much shift
ing Of players from the positions
they have been playing. Page, no
doubt, will employ the fast game this
season. He has fine material for it
and if early scrinlmages are outward
signs, Butler is going TO have speed
TO burn.
