Mayor Lunn to Fight
Democrats Unit Rule
Schenectady Mayor Said to Have
Support of Several Up
State Delegates
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

Special Dispatch TO me Ifa0une
ALBANY, May 3.-Mayor George r.
Lunn of Schenectady, who has ambi-
lions to wrest control Of upstate Demo
Gratis from Charles T. Murphy and
Tammany Hall, will start his battle to
this end when the Democratic delegates
to the national convention meet here
Thursday and Friday. Mayor Lunn will
make an effort to break the system of
herding delegates together through
unit rule, and will at the same time
initiate the work to put William w:
Farley out of existence as chairman OF
the State Democratic Committee.
That the meeting Of the Democrats
will be something more than mere
discussion Of plans and platforms was
rotary to the state committee. Mr..
Hoyt expressed conviction that the
unit rule system will prevail, and that
whatever the plans of Mayor Lunn may
be they will be very short lived and
have no effect
This contention is somewhat negated
by persistent reports that Mayor Lunn
has the support Of several upstate
delegates who are ready to follow his
leadership. The victory he obtained
last week, when his candidate for the
Federal District Court was named to
the bench, has given him prestige
which will work greatly in his favor.
Political wiseacres about the Capitol
advance the belief that Mayor Lunn
possibly may have ambitions to come
Material nomination against Governor
Smith. There seems to be little doubt
that the Governor will be q candidate
to succeed himself.
