New York. Aug 30.-Whie scores be-

claims for positions to aid the party, Nor
man f. Mack. chairman of the Demo-

Mack declared today that while he hopes
To make a selection this week, he did not
know who would be chosen.
The selection of an eastern Democratic
campaign manager has been threShed over
frequently in the party councils in the

TO make suggestions. After much con-
sideration il was deemed best that an
eastern man, preferably from New YORK,
be chosen. National committeeman con
ferring with Chairman Mack agreed that
the eastern manager must be man VINO
had never been prominently identfied
with any previous faction IN the party
and one who could weld together any
opposing factions now existing in the
east.
THE selection of an eastern campaign
manager is no easy task. said MI Mack
today. and while | hope to name the
man some time this week no one has
been selected for the place Conditions
in the east demand great care IN the
appointment of the head or the New
York HEADQUARTERS. The eastern manager
must be a man of rare executive ability
and one who can keep his forces con-
stantlv on the move and in line of action.
New York is going 10 see the liVeiiest
presidential campaign that has been ".
messed in many years and the eastern
