would run third and wished to save
the State the expense of second prs-

Burnett R. Maybank, youthful mayor
OF Charleston and an announced sup
porter of the Roosevelt administra-
ton, led the fiercely fought, eight
cornered Governors race and, on the
basis of returns, will enter a second

$4,000 votes on the basis of a nearly
complete tabulation of votes.
