Ticket Led
By Mohoney
Takes Shape
BATTTMORE A,,o IN ZAP

BALTIMORE, Aug. 10 (AP)
"A Democratic primary ticket,
headed by George Mahoney and
including Delegate Blair Lee,
Democrat Of Montgomery, ana
State Senator Samuel w. Bar
rick, Democrat Of Frederick
shaped UP yesterday in opposi-
tion to the forces of Gov. Tawes.
Sources said Senator Barrick
is expected to announce his
candidacy for attorney general
on a ticket led by Mr.. Mahoney
for Governor. Mr.. Lee already
has announced his bid for the
Democratic nomination for
United States Senator, although
he has not committed himself
to the Mahoney ticket.
Senator Barrick conferred
with Mr.. Mahoney and Mr.. Lee
Tuesday night. The meeting
repeatedly was to discuss getting
a Baltimore City man on the
ticket, possibly an ally of
Northwest Baltimore political
leader James H. (Jack) Pollack.
The controller spot on the
proposed ticket is still open.
Under discussion are several
men from Mr.. Pollack's organ
ization. Another possibility
would be a man from Anne
Arundel County.
Another proposal to strength
en- the new ticket in the pri-
mary, which will be held under
the unit-rule system, is to pick
Delegate Carlton r. Sickles,
Democrat of Prince Georges,
for Congressman-at-large.
Thus far, only David Hume,
former Democratic State treas
urer, has announced officially
he will seek the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination.
