CHICAGO, April 28-The very best

their attempt to sort out the three
personalities Of Allen Robert Hammel.
He says he isn't Hammel. Every
one else says he is.
Cher chez, they suggest, la femme.
So the authorities produced two
women who could be depended upon
to drag up the past.
Lady, I never saw you before,
said the enigma to the woman who
ought to know she is his Chicago
wife and the mother of five OF his
children.
They brought Mrs. Robert Lee
Hammel over from Cincinnati last
night. She talked with him for two
hours about their two children.
Lady, you're mistaken. I don't
know you," said the three-in-one.

James was taken to Sibley Hos

Democratic GuberhatoriaI
Contest Looms in Mary
land.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md. April 28.-That
a primary In the Democratic party is
now unavoidable is the general opinion
Of leading politicians here following
the announcement today of Mayor
Howard w. Jackson of Baltimore that
he was a candidate for the guber-
material nomination and was "in the
fight to stay"
One paragraph of the mayors state
ment practically called upon Gov.
Albert c. Ritchie to retire from the
field and seek the nomination for the
United States Senate.
Statement Declared Resented.
This statement of Mayor Jackson,
which was generally conceded to mean
that the Governor should not an
nounce himself as candidate for re-
election, but should leave the field
open for the mayor, was openly re-
sented by politicians favorable to Gov.
Ritchie, who also denied the idea
given out by jackson adherents that
the mayor has the city all tied up and
ready to deliver at the State con-
Vention.
The part of Mayor Jackson'S state
ment to which these friends Of Gov.
Ritchie in Baltimore city take excep-
ton is as follows:
Il hope that it will be possible for
the party leaders to agree upon State
and also local tickets to be submitted
10 the voters, and thereby avoid a
bitter primary contest, SO that the
Democratic party can formulate
without pickering or delay the issues
on which the general election cam
paign will be waged."
Gov. Ritchie when asked If the
filing of Mayor jackson would have
any influence on his often expressed
statements that at the proper time
he would make public statement as
to his future plans" said: II see no
reason at this time to change the
position took several days ago,
namely. that for my part and acting
in what believe the best interests
of the Democratic party, I am going
to wait a short while longer before
announcing my intentions"
There is little doubt among leading
politicians here. as well as by num-
ber of prominent politicians in the
counties. that Gov. Ritchie will file
his papers for reelection.
