John Philip Hill. former Representa-
tive from the third Maryland congress,
sioral district and leader of the We
bios in the House. is thinking serious,,
of seeking TO regain that seat TIL,
general opinion here is that Mr. Hill
will be candidate and. although a Re
publican in normally Democratic dis
trict. stands an unusual chance Of cleo
ton.
Loses in Senate Race.
MIR. Hill re!inouished his congress
sional seat when he became a candidate
for the Republican nomination TO
United States Senator against forme
Senator o E. Weller in 1926. He MADE
an aggressive campaign in that fight ba'
lost. The Democrats had no difficult,
In carrying the district for Representa-
tive Vincent L. Palmisano.
Democratic leaders are ready 10 sup
port Mfr Palmisano again. They believe
he is the strongest man they could pu
forth In a district containing large
foreign-born popu,S ion. He is ar
Italian and a wet. This week he asked
Congress 10 investigate the activities Of
j. F. J. Herbert Maryland-District Of
Columbia prohibition administrator.
Mr.. Hill however. makes an especial
appeal to the Democrats Of this dis
trict. They admire his campaign man
ner and believe he is able 10 gain more
for the snti-prohibition cause than Mr
Palmisano Many Democratic leaders II
this district privately admit that Mr.
Fall seems TO be an unbeatable candi'
date
Things are badly muddled on TIT
