 Mayor Wilson's attack on the lead ership of J. Henry Roraback and has comparison of the results of the lead erShip of Roralback and John T. King was the outstanding feature of the convention. In fact it came as a com plete surprise to the Roraback sup porters as they had been informed be- fore the opening of the morning ses- sion that everything had been patched up between these leaders and King and Roraback had had a very cordial meeting in the lobby of the Taft Hotel during the early morning.

  pleteIy outgeneraled by the Bridge port leader whose advocacy of the Suffrage amendment has put Cover nor HOIcOmb out of the running.
