SHIN CT O., Jan. 10.- Probable starters in the Demo- cratic Presidential nomination derby may go through their paces before party leaders at the Jack son Day dinner here January 12, the first national get-together of the party since 1920.
 Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri and half dozen or more others whose names have been linked with Democratic White House hopes may gather around the banquet board to give their views to the men who ad- minister party affairs.
 John D. Davis, Democratic standard bearer in 1924, will wield the gayel after being intro duced by Clem l.. Shaver of Wes. Virginia. chairman of the Ma tional Committee, and Claude G. Bowers of New York. author and authority on the administrations of Jackson and Jefferson. will de- liver one of the principal ad- dresses.
 Twelve hundred invitations have gone out to prominent Democrats in the Nation. and the fact that the National Com mittee goes into session on the same day to decide a time and place for the National Conven- tion is expected to draw q host of aeceptances.
 The present get-together will offer decided contrast to the situation eight years ago. Then the Democratic Party had been in power for eight years, Wood row Wilson still was in the White House and the Democratie donkey was surfeited with politi- cal favor.
 It was at that last Jackson Day dinner that Wilson and Bry an parted company on whether the League of Nations should b' made an issue at the coming el ecti0n, and 1t was there tha Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio en tered the 1920 campaign. Now, after eight years ii which the Republican pachydern has held the favored spot. tn, Democratic donkey has heard th' call to arms of the Presidentia campaign in President Coolidge' j"I do not choose to run" state ment, and 1t is gauging its pos abilities for leadership.
