THREE ENTER RACE FOR
 FIRST WARD ALDERMAN
Nair, Bengston and MaXon Candidates for Dehm's
 Place

David L. Nair, Thure Bengston and Clarence H. Maxon, who com prise the entire first ward delega- ton in the common council. are to- day avowed candidates for the alder manic berth left vacant by the resignation of Cornelius J. Dehm.
 Although there had been indica- tions for several days past that there would be a contest in which Nair and Bengston would be the partici- pants, 1t was not generally expected that Maxon would also enter.
 Nair has been a candidate for the post since the resignation of Dehm was received. Bengston and MaXon have maintained strict silence as to their plans and it did not be- come known until today that either would run. The former had admit ted he had candidacy under consid- eration.
 Charter provisions call for ward caucus of council members affiliat- ed with the same party as that of the former incumbent to nominate a successor. In this instance. which is believed to be the first of it's kind ever to arise, there can be no nomi- nation since the entire ward mem bership is entered in the race.
 Maxon was reported to be favor able to the nomination Of Nair on the ground that he is the senior member of the first ward delegation and that precedent should be fol- lowed by promoting him. Had Bengston not decided to run, Maxon it is understood, would also remain out of the contest. This rumor is given added weight by reason of the absence of announcement by Maxon prior to Bengston's decision to run.
 Because of the ward split the delegation will not nominate q suc- cessor to Rodman ". Chamberlain. resigned councilman, at the next meeting
