MARYLAND IN DOUBT.
Baltimore, Special.?Returns from
the city and State are not complete
but it is apparent from the official
reports so far received that the vote
in Maryland is very close, and that
the actual result may not be definite
ly known, owing to the slowness ol
returns from remote districts in East
em Shore and southern counties. In
Baltimore the indications are that they
may not be a difference of 100 votes.
Incomplete returns from the counties
show unexpected Republican gainr
particularly in the western counties.
