Three Possibilities Seen as
Result of Party Confer
enCe.

Ways and means of forcing Gov
ernor Warren T. McCray out of office,
or at least OF making plain the at
titude OF the party toward him, were
being discussed by Republican lead
ers here today.
One Of these three things may re-
suit:
/. A special session Of the Legisla
ture. called without the consent OF
the Governor. for the purpose of con-
Quoting impeachment proceedings.
2. A demand for McCray's resig-
nation by the State committee, the
Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture, or both.
8. A delay until the Marion County
indictments are disposed of or until
Federal authorities, who are inves-
tigating the Governors affairs, take
some action.
Conferences With G. o. P. Chairman
The possibilities were being dis
cussed at conferences with Clyde A.
Walb La Grange, Republican State
chairman at the SEVERN.
Attending the conferences during
the morning WERE w dlps l. ACNASA ANfA
e. Schortemeier, secretary of the State
committee Lawrence Cartwright, vice
chairman OF the committee; George
A. Elliott, Sixth District chairman;
Ewing Emison, Second District chair
man; Stuart T. Fisher, First District
chairman; Raymond G. Morgan,
speaker of the House Of Represent
atives, and Representative Russell B.
Harrison, indianapolis.
Walb said a statement would not
be Forthcoming today. Tomorrow he
expects to confer with James j. Nejdl,
president pro tenn. of the Senate, and
with Republican editors, including
George D. Lindsay, Marion, pl esident
Of the Republican Editorial Associa-
ton; Henry Marshall, Lafayette, and
Arthur Remmel, Ft. Wayne.
The most discussed possibility is a
special session, either now or III case
further action is taken against
McCray.
There is serious doubt in the minds
