Ritchle, commenting on rumors tnat a split threatens the Balti- more democracy over opposition of Mayor Jackson and others to the Tydings senatorial aspirations, stated he did not believe the rumors. Mr, Tydings is going .to be the choice of the united Democratic party of this State. the executive said. . Politiclans recall that feeling be- tween the governor and Mayor Jack- son has not been any too cordial since the election of delegates to the mational convention in 1924, when the mayor and several of his friends left the, meeting. Mayor Jackson, it is saill, topk exception to the way the belng run by the, ‘oonvention “was selection of governor,” ‘and to the *hand-picked” delegates. Lacks Kelly Indorsement. ‘While the candidacy of Mr. Tydings §s said to have been indorsed by B Ernnk Kelly, who, with John J. ahon, controls the.city organization, the latter has not come out openly and indorsed Tydings, although he bas indorsed the governor and the rest of the State ticket. Politiclans say that Mayor Jack- gon, by entering City Controller Gra- ham in the senatorial primaries, wquld eliminate him as a possible candidate for the mayoralty nomina- tion next Spring-and leave the way clear for him to succeed himself. Representative John Philip Hin, candidate against Senator O. E. Wel- ler for the United States senatorial ‘momination in the Republican party, eontinues actively campaigning. R World Court Fight. In opening headquarters here this week Mr. Hill announced that, con- frary to expectations, the wetanddry Wuestion would not be the principal plank in his platform, but that he would make his principal fight on an anti-World Court platform. Mr. Hill lans a definite test of sentiment in . Maryland on American adherence to the World Court. He will oppose this «country’s remaining in the court, thus sharply drawing the issue between himself and Senator Weller, as _the latter voted for the tourt in the Sen- ate. . Dr. Joseph 1. France, former United States Senator, will act a8 umu: manager for the anti-Weller jon. He will be assisted by Willam H.

Meanwhile the Weller faction has|L. done nothing toward selecting candi- dates for any of the State offices, and the campaign, so far, has been de- voted entirely to aiding Mr. Weller's re-election. A rumor here the past week that John W. Garrett was being considered as a candidate of the Wel- ler faction for the nomination for governor was nippéd when Mr. Gar- rett announeed that under no circum- sta would he consider going into such a contest. Mr. Garrett was de- feated in the primary in 1922, ‘when he ran against Senator France, and since then has not taken an active rt in politios. "!numl:loch as less than ten weeks fnas much as less than ten weeks will ‘elapse before the primary elec- tion, some persons have suggested that perhaps the Weller group had abandoned the idea of putting up a gugernatorial candidate. “No selection has been made yet, but we're work- ler lieutenants to queries. b . %mr it,” was the answer given by i3 POTOMAC.
