outcome of the election will be the
teaming of Tydings- Radcliffe Jack
son forces at the State convention
to oust Mr.. Bruce as Democratic
national committeeman and sup
plant him with some one of their
own choice.
Dewey Easy Victor.
Lost in the shuttle of the Rad
cliffe- Nice developments was Mr..
Dewey's easy capture of the 16 G..
o. p. National Convention votes.
Lone presidential candidate to file
in the State, he polled more than
$4,000 votes, against 4,389 for an un-
instructed delegation.
The vote was based on returns
from 73l of the 1909 polling places.
It was Immediately evident, how
ever, that Mr.. Dewey failed to win
the overwhelming vote of confidence
his hackers had sought. His total
was about half the total vote cast
for the two Republican senatorial
candidates. Maryland has a Re-
publican registration of about 242,-
900.
Unofficial returns from 1,214 of
1909 precincts gave Senator Rad
cliffe 164,232 votes to 90,829 for Mr..
Bruce and at 10:30 o'clock last night
the latter conceded defeat in a tele-
gram to the Senator which read:
You have my heartiest congratu-
.lAtie9S upon your denomination, and
It is Needless for me to assure you
OF my support in November"
Bruce Carried Nearby Counties.
A tabulation shows that Senator
Radcliffe, in addition to the six Bal
timore City districts, carried Calvert,
Caroline, Carroll. Charles, Dor
chester, where he was born; Talbot,
Wicomico, Worcester and Allegany
Counties.
With complete returns as yet un-
available in Hartford, Baltimore and
Anne Arundel Counties, he never
theless had a comfortable margin in
those communities.
Mr.. Bruce carried both of the
counties bordering the National
Capital-Montgomery and Prince
Georges, where he had the backing
of the dominant Democratic organ
izations..
Mr.. Bruce likewise carried Fred
erick, Howard, where he makes his
home; Kent, Queen Anne and st.
Marys Counties.
The four counties where the out
come appears doubtful on the face
of returns showing the contestants
locked in a close fight are Washing
ton, Somerset, Cecil and Garrett.
Radcliffe Strong In Allegany.
Senator Radcliffe was making q
surprising run in Allegany despite
the fact that Attorney General Will
liam Walsh threw the full weight of
his machine behind Mr.. Bruce.
Complete returns from the
county's 73 precincts, made avail
able at noon today, revealed that
Senator Radcliffe had carried Ale
gany by SO votes, polling 3,305 to
1882 for his rival.
1t is believed that the eleventh.
hour Endorsement given Mr.. Rad
cliffe by former Representative
Lewis may have aided in swelling
the incumbent's total.
Mr.. Nice and Mr.. Broening evenly
divided the six districts in Baltimore,
each capturing 81 convention votes
there, but the latter 50 far has man
aged to annex only seven votes in
the counties+Calvert's 3 and Dor
chester's 4.
Caroline, Carroll, Charles, How
ard, st. Mary's, Talbot and Wicom-
leo are definitely in Mr.. Nice's
column, while he is running ahead
of his rival in a number of the coun-
ties from which complete returns
have yet to be received.
Democratic Vote Tailed First.
Delay in obtaining the Republican
primary results was occasioned by
the fact that throughout the State
the Democratic primary ballots were
counted first.
Many precincts in Montgomery
and Prince Georges had not made
public their complete Republican
returns this morning.
In those two counties Mr. Bruce
led his opponent, but the latter
made a strong showing IN Montgom-
cry despite the fact his opponent
was backed by the controlling fac
ton.
Oliver Metxerott Trails.
In balloting for Prince Georges
County delegates to the Republican
State Convention, Oliver Metzerott,
former State Senator, was trailing
full ticket placed in the field by
rival G. o. p. faction.

nall had 1,242; Robert III. Palmer,
