gauntlet tossed at him by the CLOS

The Virginia Senator struck back
again at the CIO in a campaign

and spend $1,000 900 and not a word
can be said, while corporation

legislation denying special privileges
which he said certain labor unions
now enjoy and reiterated assertions
made in previous radio campaign

labor leaders" were attempting to
take over control of the Government

den, his campaign manager, Sena-
tor Byrd spoke from a platform in
the shade of the 126-year- -old Cum

Lane Assured
OF s. Votes
In Convention
O'Conor Strengthens
Claim to Victory
Over Radcliffe
ey the Asxocjoted Presx

BALTIMORE, June 26.-William
Preston Lane, jr., was assured today
OF clear-cut majority of IS of the
152 Democratic convention votes as
he added seven more to his total
from late returns from Baltimore
County in the gubernatorial pri-
mary.
With 1929 of the States 1881 pre-
cincts reported by early today, the
Democratic national committeeman
had rolled up 103,227 votes to 84,347
for State Controller ]. Millard
Tawes and 1924 for Representative
Baldwin, his two major opponents.
On the basis of these unofficial re-
turns, Mr.. Lane would get IS votes
in the Democratic convention few
weeks hence. Mr.. Tawes would have
4s and Mr.. Baldwin's total would
be 18.
Leads in Baltimore County.
Meanwhile, in the Democratic
senatorial race Gov. O'Conor's claim
to victory over Senator Radcliffe
was strengthened when he took the
lead in Baltimore County on the
basis of the late returns. With ITO
of the county's 1872 polling places
reported, Gov. O'Conor,s vote stood
at 10,769 to 10,513 for Senator Rad
cliffe.
Senator Radcliffe had seen a
chance for denomination if he car
ried Baltimore County and Anne
Arundel County (where he held a
margin of SO with Is polling places
unreported, and if the close, un-
official returns from Worcester, Tai
bot and Howard Counties now in
the O'Conor column we're upset in
his favor by the official canvass
beginning tomorrow
The Statewide count, with 1926
polling places reported, was 115O19
for Gov. O'Conor and 92,551 for
Senator Radcliffe.
The entire Lane State wide ticket
rode to victory in the primary with
an ease that surprised most politi-
cal observers.
Lacy and Hammond Lead.
James J. Lacy and Hall HAM
mond, the Democratic nominees for
controller and attorney general, re-
spectively, outdistanced their oppos-
ition from the time first returns
started coming in, and their totals
have been swelling with each new
precinct reporting.
With 1929 polling places reported,
Mr.. Lacy had 83,207 votes to 1882
for Charles H. Robson, jr., and
35,990 for John B. Funk. Three
other candidates drew but light sup
port.
Mr.. Hammond's total, with 1925
polling places in, was 1886, to ST.
211 for w. Earle Cobey and 30,444
for John S. White.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the
election was Mr.. Lanes defeat of
Mr.. Baldwin in the Representatives
home county.
1000 Vote Lead.
Mr.. Baldwin, the acknowledged
Democratic political leader of Bal
timoye County for the last six years,
was trailing Mr.. Lane 1851 to a.
TIT, with only IL of the county's 1872
polling places unreported.
Mayor Theodore r. McKeldin of
Baltimore, an easy winner over Her.
man L. Mills in the Republican
gubernatorial nomination, appar-
emily will have as a teammate Brig
Gen. D. John Markey, who was
ahead in the party's contest for Sen
ator on the basis of returns from
936 precincts.
Gen. Markey's total vote was 21,-
220 to 11,734 for John A. Wilmer
However, the vote was close and all
