I BACKFIELD A WORRY
ij With a dry field and a crisp atinos
r: phere, conditions for practice at the
' Naval Academy yesterday afternoon
D were better than they have been f >r
weeks. Coach Dobie took his charges
through the regular work of kicking,
signal and formation drills and a
scrimmage of greater length than
' usual. . 5
The coach is much handicapped in
! developing his varied system of play
ij by the frequent casualties in his back
field, as he has had to take much time
!to break in new’ backs. In addition
j to Kohler, Cruise and Watters, who
are firmly intrenched as regulars in
j th back field, Benoist, Itodes, Taylor
and Haaae were used this afternoon.
Taylor, the plebe, continues to do
; excellent work and he would he a most
valuable man if he had a little more
experience. The fact that he
; to be unhurtable, in contrast with
j most of the backs Dobie has used this
: season, Is a big point in his favor.
' He is playing a dashing game and
improving with every practice, and it
! is generally thought that another year
, will put him among the best backs
the Navy has ever h^l.
TOSS-UP INDICATED
ON OHIO “DRY” ISSUE
(By Tae Associated Press.)
Columbus. Ohio, Now. 6. —Returns
from Tuesday’s election, compiled at
the Secretary of State's office today
from fifty-five of the fifty-eight coun
ties in this state, indicate that re
sults from the voting on the State
wide Prohibition question and the
Crabb Prohibition Enforcement Bill,
were close, with the chances favoring
the “drys” on the first measure and
the "wets” on the latter. The same
returns are said to indicate the de
feat of the repeal of the Prohibition
amendment and the two and three
fourth per cent, beer proposal.

Minneapolis, Mipn., next week, will
leave for that eify over the Baltimore

One of the chief and. most difficult
questions in which the Maryland dele

members did not want it.

influence which will be given to them

RITCHIE'S PLURALITY IN COUNTY IBS;
! CLOSE IN SUITE. RECOUNT MAY FOLLOW
CANVASS OF VOTE
NOW Oil EXCITES
j GREAT INTEREST
Ritchie’s plurality in Anne
Arundel County will be 185. This
is shown by a comparison of the
unofficial figures, compared with
the official count that is in prog- j
ress at the Court House this aft-!
ernoon. The returns from the
second precinct of the First dis-i
trict, brought about the increase
from 134 to 185, ttye vote of that
precinct being 161 for Ritchie;
and 105 for Nice.
Organizing as a board of canvassers,
he members of the board of super
visors of elections, consisting of Dr.
Alfred H. Perrie. Janies F. Strange.
Democrats, and William H. Meade. Re
publican, began at noon today to tab- j
ulate the official vote cast in Tues
ilay's election in Anne Arundel county.
The work of the canvassing body
was delayed to some extent owing j
o the fact iha! the election officials!
>f the Second precinct of the First <
district did not bring in the official re
turns of that section until after the
noon hour. In the meantime, how
ever, the board gave over its time to
•heck off the vote from the unofficial
records that had been gathered, as
compared to the returns from the elec
lion officials of the various precincts.
This, of course, facilitated the actual
canvassing.
Watch Canvass Closely
Owing to the closeness of the vote
us to several of the local candidates,
jut more particularly by reason of
'he fact that the official canvass in
this and every other county, as well
is Baltimore city, may have some
material hearing upon the situation
as to governorship fight which is
mighty close, more than the usual
number of persons gathered in the of
fice of the supervisors. The situation
caused the rival gubernatorial candi
dates to have official representatives
at* the tanvass;. Yesterday afternoon,
Attorney-General Albert C. Ritchie,
he Democrarii candidate, teDgnphed
ludgojy P. Melvin requesting tiiat he
represent his, and the interests of
other Democrats before the canvass
ing board, especially a> regards the
possibility of discrepancies having
been made in the vote unofficially re
turned. State’s Attorney Harry W.
Nice, of Baltimore city, had three such
representatives on the job. These are
Arthur B. Connelly, William F. Me-
Fall and Allen Cleveland.
Checking up of the unofficial re
turns as compared with the official fig
ures, consumed very little time, and
then the board got down to the actual
work of the canvass.
Myers Apparently Beaten
One development of this morning
that became a certainty, was the de
feat of Henry B. Myers, democratic
candidate for the Board of County
Commissioners, a position he has held
for a number of years. The returns
show that he went down by a margin
of 51 votes, his successful opponent
being Charles M. Green, of the Fourth
district. Tjhe vote polled by these
respective candidates is Myers, 2,492;
Green, 2,543.
B. & 0. Retires 10 Employes
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has announced the retirement of 10

During 1918 $322,188 was paid out

Supervisors Of Anne Arundel
County Now Engaged In Of
ficial Canvass—Great Interest
Aroused Here And All Over
State Tightest Election In
History
j HENRY B. MYERS BEATEN
FOR CO. COMMISSIONER
*
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 6.—ln
tense interest attaches to the
} meeting of the Election Super
j visors, - who assembled in Haiti
more City and the counties at
noon today to canvass the returns
Jot Tuesday’s election.
The latest unofficial returns
made Ritchie, the Democratic
nominee, winner by three hun
dred and twenty-six plurality.
Chairman Tait. of the Republi
can State Central Committee,
claims the official canvass will
show the election of Harry W.
Nice, the Republican candidate.
The work of canvassing the re
turn'- will require several hours
Land the result will probably not
he known until tonight. If the
unofficial plurality given Ritchie
stands, the Republican leaders
will take up the question whether
to ask for a re-count of the bal
lots. This would have to he
made by the House of Delegates.
Actual unofficial returns of the
total vote for Governor, with
Garrett County missing, is esti
mated as follows:
Ritchie. Democrat ...111,144
Nice, Republican .... 1 10,818
On the face of. today’s revised
unofficial returns on the vote for
members of the Legislature, the
Democrats, have a majority of
three in the Senate and twelve in
the -House of Delegates. The last
had a Republican majority of
eight.
Clerical Errors, Miijlm*
This canvass Is supposed to dis
close any clerical errors in the esti
mate of the ballots. Because the plu
rality for Ritchie, the Democratic
•candidate, is around 300 votes, the
canvass is being watched with con
siderable anxiety by the Democrats,
and with no small degree of hope by
the Republicans, seeing in It a pos
sibility of wiping out the meager lead,
the unofficial returns give Ritchie
over Harry W. Nice, the Republican
nominee.
Here in Baltimore it may be sev
eral days before the canvass is com
plete, according to the election officers.
