Republican, Westerly will be repre-.
scented by a full fledged member at a
meeting of the democratic state CEN
trial committee to be held in Provi-
fience "wednesday afternoon which has
fbeen called to take action upon the
Resignation Of Chairman francis e.
Sullivan and TO elect his successor.
tThere appears to be but little doubt
that Mr.. Sullivan's detire to retire
from the Craftsmanship win be acqui-
4esced in by the members Of the COM
1mittee and that a successor will be
tchosen, although there is faint hope
that Mr.. Sullivan may be induced to
continue In. Office.
e 1t is limited that the meeting may
have to deal with some other resdg-
nations, as it is said Chairman sSulli-
wan is not the only one who is dis
gusted at the lack of support given by
dnembers of the committee. There is
even talk that the state headquarters
may be given up and the statewide
Democratic club projected and estab-
aished by the retiring chairman aban-
sfoned. Mr. Sullivan is not telling the
reason. that prompted him to resign
1t is, however, stated by some close
TO him that some holders. of lucrative
federal offices supposed to be out of
politics have been attempting to do
things which in other years have been
Ithe prerogative Of the state central
chairman, and Mr.. Sullivan resents
their butting-in tactics.
