BALTIMORE, April 26.-Repre-
sentative Sasscer and George P.
Mahoney, campaigning bitterly
for the Democratic senatorial
nomination. will be brought face
to face Monday when Senator
Kefauver comes to Maryland to
WOO its 18 national convention
votes.
The Tennessee Senator will
make a one-day stand here and in
Frederick before returning to
Florida in his presidential cam
paign.
State headquarters for Repre-
sentative SaSScer and Mr.. Ma
honey, Democratic national COM
mitteeman, said their candidates
would speak at a Jefferson jack
son Day Dinner at $50 pm. in the
Francis Scott Key Hotel in
Frederick.
The two have met on the same
platform only once before. This
was long before the senatorial
campaign developed into one of
bitter charge and counter charge.
Mr.. Mahoney frequently has chal-
lenged Mr.. Sasscer to debate the
issues.
With Senator Kefauver billed
as the principal speaker at the
dinner, however, there probably
will be little time allotted to
others.
Only Kefauver On Ballot.
Senator Kefauver is the only
presidential candidate of either
party whose name will appear on
the ballots in the May primary.
Democratic voters will signify
their preference either for him or
an "uninstructed delegation" from
each county and each Baltimore
legislative district to the State
convention.
Harry Troth Gross, counsel to
the Democratic State Central
Committee, said today that a Ke-
fauver majority in any county or
legislative district will commit its
delegation in the convention to
the Tennessee Senator for Presi-
dent.
Party leaders predict phat Sem
ator Kefauver will easily receive
a majority vote. Those voting for
an uninstructed delegation would
not know for which candidate
they would be voting.
Senator Kefauver is scheduled
to address the Johns Hopkins
University student body at 10I
am. Monday. He will confer with
his workers from throughout the
State at 10:45 am. in the Emer-
son Hotel and then visit Mayor
Thomas D'Alesandro, jr.. at 1U:45.
D'AleSandro Backs SasScer.
Mayor D'Alesandro is actively
campaigning for Mr.. SasScer, and
the 5th District Representative,
who was on the Eastern Shore
today, is scheduled to attend the
mayors welcoming ceremony. Ma
honey headquarters did not know
whether their candidate, who was
campaigning in st. Marys County
today, would attend.
Senator Kefauver will address
the Junior Association of Com
merce at luncheon at 1915 pm.
He will conduct sidewalk cam
paign in downtown Baltimore be-
tween 2 and $3.50 o'clock and then
leave for Frederick, stopping to
shake hands at a shopping center
in the Baltimore suburbs.
After the Jefferson-Jackson Day
Dinner speech, Senator Kefauver
again will address mass meeting
in Baker Memorial Park in Fred
erick.
Statement Challenged.
Meanwhile, a statement from
the Mahoney headquarters claim
ing Democratic organization"
support in Dorchester County pro-
voked a retort from p. Watson
Webb, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee
there.
The Mahoney announcement
listed Emerson c. Harrington, jr.,
son of former Governor. and
Mayor Julian L. Tubman of Cam
bridge, at the top of a list of
about two dozen party leaders
who are supporting Mr.. Mahoney.
Among those listed were Wal
ter B. Andrews, member of the
State Central Committee and
State Senator Fred Malkus.
Mr.. Webb took exception to the
announcement that the Demo-
cratic organization of Dorchester
County" is supporting Mr.. Ma
honey. With the exception of
Mr.. Andrews, the other five mem
bers of the State Central Com
mittee have indorsed Mr.. Sasscer,
according to Mr.. Webb.
The dispute is a continuation
of factional rivalry between fol-
lowers of Mr.. Harrington and
those in the opposite camp for
merly headed by the late Grayson
Winterbottom. Two years ago the
Harrington faction supported Mr..
Mahoney in the. gubernatorial
primary against Gov. Lane. Dor
chester County went for Mr.. Lane.
