group at the present time is in posi-
tion to control the action Of the State
Committee. AS explained by one
man this morning. the process now
seems to be 10 put forward as pos
sibilities" all eligible Democrats who
have their supporters, with the idea
Of having them go through a "sift-
ing' process.
II is anticipated that when the
State ommittee meets there may be
as many as thirty candidates pre-
sented when nominations are made.
Independent observers. however,
see more than a probability that fac
tional strife in the party may make
the selection of a committeeman not
only difficult but also fraught with
danger to party success. 1T is hard
10 imagine the Democrats picking
such an important party official
without a bitter fight" one promi-
nent Democrat admitted this morn

gested, including Andrew c. Gray,
Thomas F. Bayard. Josiah Marvel,
Charles b. Evans and Senator
