22 URGE CANDIDACY | *OF GOLDSBOROUGH *Maryland Republicans See Harmony if Former Gov- ernor Accepts. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 24.—Increased prossure from leading Republicans of the State is being brought to bear on former Gov. Phillips Lee Golds- borough to induce him to become the Republican candidate for governor. He can have the nomination for the saying so, and, there is no doubt, will come closer to uniting the party than any other man. Should he consent, Marion A. Humphreys, who has an- nounced his candidacy for the guber- natorial nomination of the Hill faction of the Republican party, would with- draw, it is said, and leave the field clear for Mr. Goldsborough. While the former governor has re- peatedly declined to consider running, gome Republican leaders here predict- ed that the many requests and letters he is receiving from all over the State will cause him to change his mind. Reports from the counties indicate that Mr. Goldsborough is the strong- est man who could be put up by the Republicans, and in Baltimore City, it is said, he is the one man who could bring out the woman'’s vote, as well as being thé only Republican in the State who would be satisfactory to both the Weller and Hill factions. Work on Weller Ticket. Efforts have been made the past week by some of the Weller leaders to complete the ticket headed by Sen- ator Weller, and, while nothing defi: ‘nite has been done, it is said they will be ready to announce their candidates within the next week or so. Politi- clans here say the delay in announc- ing the ticket is due to the fact that they are waiting to see if Mr. Golds- borough can be induced to accept the gubernatorial nomination. In the event he sticks to his reso- Iution to remain out of politics, J. Frank 'Supplee. jr. United States Commissioner here, is said to be favored by some of the leaders for the nomination for governor. Others mentioned being Henry B. Wilcox of Baltimore and D. Lindley Sloan of Cumberland. Things are not moving so smoothly on the Democratic side, despite the fact that Gov. Ritchie is the only can- didate who has opposition so far, espe- cially in Baltimore City, where it is said the governor's support among the Democratic leaders is not wholly united. Fight in Baltimore. While Mayor Jackson has indorsed Ritchie's candidacy for re-election, it is sald that he is not overly pleased at the prospect of a third term for the governor. This is due to the fact that Jackson, who undoubtedly will scek re-election next year, believes the State faction of the party headed by Gov. Ritchie, is atttempting to wrest control of Baltimore from the city leaders. This is glven weight by the fact that a fight for leadership in east Baltimore is now on between State Senator Willlam 1. Norris, who is listed as a Jackson henchman, and former State Senator Willlam Curran, who is allied with the State faction. Norris has announced his candidacy for re-election to the State Senate and says, under no consideration will he withdraw, while Curran, said to be backed by the State organization headed by Gov. Ritchie, intends to put up a candidate of his own against Norris. William M. Maloy, who i§ running against Ritchie, continues his attack on the governor and in a speech in Montgomery County this week de- clared that Gov. Ritchie could not be elected if nominated. Mr. Maloy based this statement on the fact that organized Iabor, independents, drys @and wets who are opposed to third term are opposed to the governor. BERRYVILLE. BERRYVILL!
