Washington, D.C., remains the No. 1 choice to become the new home for the Montreal Expos, but issues remain, according to two people with knowledge of the relocation process.Major League Baseball's relocation committee met with representatives from the nation's capital for 11 1/2 hours Wednesday to discuss the city's proposal, but the committee isn't ready to make a recommendation to Commissioner Bud Selig.Bob DuPuy, MLB president and chief operating officer, said the Tuesday victory by ex-Washington mayor Marion Barry in the Democratic primary for City Council should not affect the city's proposal to build a stadium for the Expos. Barry opposes taxpayer funds for it.Selig has vowed the team, now owned and operated by the other 29 owners, will have a new home for the 2005 season. He hopes to have an announcement before the postseason begins Oct. 5."We have no reason to believe the elections have changed the proposal unless we're told otherwise," said DuPuy, who also believes a suit by former limited partners of the Expos will not delay moving the team.Lawyers for the partners said Wednesday they plan to ask a judge to block MLB from moving the team.In their lawsuit, 14 limited partners claim former Expos owner Jeffrey Loria and stepson David Samson conspired with baseball officials to dilute the partners' share of the team from 76% to 6%-7% and had no intention of keeping the franchise in Montreal."In my view, the lawsuit is irrelevant," DuPuy said.The relocation committee also met this week with would-be owners from Northern Virginia, who hope to put the Expos in the Washington suburbs.
