Reports that Representative BeaIl.
Republican, Of Maryland would be
a candidate for the Maryland guber-
material nomination in 1916 were
met today by an announcement that
he was concentrating on his con-
gressional duties and had given no
thought to next years campaign.
Mr.. Beall said he was deeply ap-
preciative of the suggestions from
many Republicans that he be a
candidate for either Governor or
Senator, but that he was too busy to
give any consideration to 1946
political campaigns"
He added that II am interested
in a united Republican party and
have no desire to engage in any
fight with Mayor McKeldin, Mr.
TAFT or any other Republican
leader"
Mr.. BealPS advisers were reported
to have claimed that he had re-
ceived promise of support from sew
eral Republican leaders outside
Baltimore City who, they said, were
opposed to the domination of the
party by Mayor Theodore r. Nc
Keldin and Galen L. TAFT, Repub-
lican State Central COMMITTEES
chairman. The Baltimore Mayor
has been regarded as almost certain
to seek the Governorship after his
close race with Gov. O'Conor in 1942.
