Isadore llayner, one of the leading Demo cratic membcrB of tho senate, a man whose name was offered to the Chi cago convention by Bryan aB a suit able candidate for president, died early -today from neuritis. _ He had been Jhi a "comatose con dition since Wednesday with only one'or two slight rullleB. His death creates a vacancy that probably will be filled by a Repub lican through appointment of Gov ernor Goldsborough. Tho control of the senate after March 4 thus may hinge on Kay ner's death. The Republican whom It Is expect ed Qoldsborough will apj>oint will hold office at least until, the Mary land' legislature meets in January li'14. With Ilayner's vote the Demo cratic leaders counted on mustering 4 9 or 1 more than majority of the membership of 96. While tho Democrats still have un apparent strength of 4 8 the deat reduces the majority to a point near the dividing line of party control. One on Judgo Speer.
