Despite earlier statements that he would formally announce his candidacy for mayor last night, Carl Stokes delayed his announcement and held a smaller-than-expected meeting of campaign supporters. About 50 friends and volunteers from his 1999 campaign for mayor turned out for a reception last night at the Forum catering hall on Primrose Avenue in West Baltimore. This was fewer than the 75 to 125 that the former city councilman said he was expecting early in the day. But Stokes said he was not disappointed because the meeting was not intended as a large fund-raiser, but instead as a small meeting of his campaign volunteers.

Republican Dean L. Johnson pulled off an easy victory last night that left his Democratic opponent Dennis M. Callahan stunned at a 4,127 to 3,416 gap in what many had predicted would be a close race for mayor of Annapolis.Less than 25 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m., Callahan, a one-term former mayor who's now lost three bids to repeat in the job, called Johnson's West Street campaign headquarters. That room erupted in cheers as he conceded. Less than 10 minutes later, champagne was flowing.

The Annapolis Elections Board is looking into possible campaign finance violations by Democratic candidate Dennis Callahan for a poll and fund-raising letter conducted on behalf of his campaign for mayor.At issue is whether a recent favorable poll for Callahan had the authorization of Callahan's campaign committee or was conducted independently by supporter Wayne Rogers, president of Synergics Energy Development in Annapolis.Board officials said at a meeting in City Hall last night that the poll and a July 25 letter promoting a fund-raiser next Tuesday for the former mayor at Loews Annapolis Hotel "raised some questions."
