Renewed Pressure From Demo

Final Announcement
All speculation as to whether or not
Governor Ritchie could be induced to
enter the fight for the Democratic
nomination for United States Senator,
was set at rest last night when the
Executive made a definite refusal. His
decision followed renewed pressure
brought upon him by Democratic lead
ers.
Several weeks ago the Governor an
nounced in a public statement that he
would not be a candidate for Sena
tor. preferring to again seek nomina
tion and election to the gubernatorial

part* leaders have sought to influence
ilit Governor to alter his decision.
The Governor s refusal partly clari
, ties the situation in the Democratic
party by eliminating one possibility.
Governor Explains Position
Discussing his decision, the Gover
i nor said:
"l have never been a candidate for
! the Senate. As time goes on, I am
| more and more convinced that I was
*right when I said I had a job on hand
.and that I ought to stick to it and do
what the people elected me for. With
I these coal and railroad crises on
I hand, in addition to the regular rou
tine of the State government, I have
! a man'a-sizod Job, and it would be im
: possible for me to make a campaign
for the Senatorial nomination even if
I wished to do so.”

clashed yesterday afternoon on the
St. John’s College diamond In their
first meeting of the "Twilight

easily, 8 to 0. Featuring the contest
was the strong twirling of Feuster, of
the Reina outfit, and he was given
good support. The Moose got only
two runners as far as the third sack.
Winning battery, Feuster and Dick;
losing, McNeff and Jacobs.
Tomorrow's game will be between
the strong teams representing the
Rescues and the Elks. Neither team
has lost a game and as the Rescues

The President, it was learned from
House leaders, was said to feel that
the House should be prepared to tu
’ act such legislation as the industrial
situation, particularly the rail .--Hike,
might make necessary.
None of the leaders, so far as could
be learned, could say what the nature

Possible legislation which it was
suggested the President might have
in mind included authorization to

failure to operate to* the point that
the public demands; amendment of
the transportation act to give the rail
road labor hoard authority over ques

the present troublesome question of

O. L. Eaton. B. & O. Official, To
Have Charge Of Dis
tribution
Preparations to cope with the situ
ation arising out of the serious short
age of anthracite and bituminous coal
were made yesterday afternoon by
Governor Ritchie’s Coal Distribution
Committee at a meeting held in Bal
timore. Organization was perfected
by the selection of William Milnes
Maloy as chairman and O. L. Eaton,
an official of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, as vice-chairman.
"I realize that Mr. Maloy is a very
busy man and that his duties as chair
man of the Public Service Comtnis
j • s i ,, n arc cxa< ting, but he has consent
'd to ait ;*e chairman of the Coal Dis
tribution Committee temporarily .**
said Coventor Ritchie. "It is poiaihle
tliit. same other man mat tie made
■ chairman after the committee lias be-
I gun to work smoothly, but just now
Mr. Maloy’s services are needed."
Eaton Succeeds Meyer
The Governor appointed Mr. Eaton
a member of the coal committee in
place of Ferdinand A. Meyer, former!
Federal Fuel Administrator for Mary
land. who was unable to serve. Mr.
Eaton, who, as vice-chairman, will re
lieve Mr. Maloy of much of the de
tail work, will act as the coal and
transportation expert of the commit
-tee. His name was presented to the
Governor by Mr. Maloy and Douglas
Gorman, who had been named as a
coninritee to select ;n executive
Neither Governor Ritchie nor the
meml ors of the committee were able
to glean anything definite as to the
policy of the Maryland body from the
instructions received from the office
of Federal Coal Distributor Spencer.
The instructions contain no informa
tion as to the amount of coal the
Maryland committee may expect to
receive, as to the consignee nor as to
the methods of distribution. Messrs.
Maloy. Gorman and Harper are to go
to Washington today in search of in

LEVELYNOTNANi AS
FRANCE’S MAM, IS
CLAIM OF LOCAL G. 0. P.
Friends of Sheriff Harry T. Levely,
Republican, yeslerday announced that
he had been designated by United
States Senator Joseph I. France to
act as his campaign manager in Anne
Arundel county, In the fight for his
re-nomination for the Senate. Said
announcement created considerable
stir among local Republicans, gener
ally, and members of the County Cen
tral Committee, in particular.
W. Hallam Claude, chairman of the
G. O. P. Central committee, is author
ity for the Statement and that Senator
France has not appointed his county
manager for this county, and that the
understanding at Republican State
headquarters is, that whoever is so
named, will be upon the recommen
dation of the local committee.
In the announcement that Levely
had been selected, it was said that
Senator France desired that man
agers in the several congressional
districts should be party men not an
tagonistic to the respective Congres
sional candidates of the party; which
in the local instance means that the
Senator in no way desires to antago
nize Congressman Mudd and his
friends. Levely is for Mudd, while on
the other hand, it is said that a num
ber of other local Republicans are op
posing the Congressman. At any
rate, dissatisfaction within the ranks
of the party seems apparent.
GOVERNOR VISITS
BOYS’ BRIGADE CAMP
Governor Ritchie, accompanied by
former Mayor James H. Preston, of
Baltimore, were entertained royally
yesterday by members of the Boys’
Brigade of America at Camp Mil-Bur,
] on the Magothy river.
The visitors were accorded military
honors, treated to a fine dinner and
then taken for a motorboat ride. The
Governor displayed a great interest in
the camp, and on his return to Anna
polis said he had a “wonderful” time.
John Burgess and Lieut. H. Monroe
Helm were in charge of the camp.

iCARNIVAL BY WATER
WITCH FIREMEN IS
AHRACTING CROWDS
*
The annual carnival under the aus-l
pices of the Water witch Hook anil i
Ladder Company of volunteer firemen
which opened on the “city park” at 1
Ihe foot of Main street, Saturday
night, drew a large crowd of fun
makers then, as well as last night.
The fete will enntinue throughout this
week, and fortunately rain has not
thus far marred the affair.
The dancing pavilion proved ex
ceedingly popular among the younger
folks last evening because of the cool- i
ing breezes. The pavilion is in the,
centre of the circle, instead of to one {
side as formerly, and the floor was j
, pretty well crowded for nearly every ,
set. Fox-trots mid s|iz>s make up
the program. Music is being turnisb
eil In Viktor's o relies! ta .
But while the dance Hoot attracted
many patrons, that does not meat
that the st yerai stands were not weP
patronized. On Hie contrary, ail ul t
them are doing a gratifying business.!
There is hut one disappointing fen-;
lure of the carnival and that is that ;
there is no merry-go-round, or flying j
! horses, the amusement that is ever
j the delight of the kiddies, and there
•were many little hoys and girls who j
visited the grounds last night only to,
be disappointed that they did not get
a ride on a “hossy.”

OYSTER SPAT CATCHES
; ON PATUXENT SHELLS
Good catches of oyster spat on
shells planted at the mouth of the
Patuxent about two months ago are
reported by Swepson Earle, engineer
of the State Conservation Commission, i
Near Hog Island the young oysters j
were twice as large as on the other
side of the river. Mr. Earle said, due
to a swift current stimulating their
growth. Eighty thousand bushels of
shells were planted at the mouth of 1
the river. Mr. Earle will leave today j
to inspect other areas and survey
oyster bottoms for which leasing ap
plications have been received.
Oyster beds in various sections are
reported free of young mussels, he
said, and the indications are for a
good oyster season.

Assure Howard Support
, Developments of local Interest in
this situation have crystallized with
iin the last few days. Anne Arundel
j county Democrats point to the fact
| that tin* Fifth district has not been
representated in Congress by an Alina
Arundel countian in nearly half a
I century. In this connection many
friends of Allen Bbwie Howard, of
Annapolis, member of the House of
Delegates at the last session of the
; Legislature, have been urging hint to
become a candidate, and it is under
j stood he has the assurance of strong
backing. Mr. Howard has not dls-
I cussed the matter to any extent, hut

Itorsey Draws Out Of It
Second among the local develop
ments is the announcement by Walter
B. Dorsey, of Cedar Park, near An
napolis, that he has reconsidered his
determination to he a candidate. Mr.
Dorsey was a candidate two years
ago and made a strong running In
: all the counties. During the session
l of the late legislature, Mr. Dortjey,
at the solicitation of many of his
friends, again declared his intentions
to enter the race, but as stated he
, has since reconsidered and will not
* make the run.
Would Avoid Figlit
It is the consensus of opinion of
party men in the district that thoro
is an excellent chance to defeat MndA
this time, but that avoidance of *
hot primary fight, is much to be de
sired. In other words, tt Is fslt that
1 the ranks of the party should bo sol
idified in order to redeem thd district
from Republican control. As a mat
ter of fact that attitude Is reflected
by all of the several candidates whose
names have been mentioned In con

Democrats want to get together. Party
