 Eastern Point, Sept. 11.-Demo- cratic leaders of the first congress .sional district, here today for the state convention of their party, pre- dicted the nomination of Augustine Lonergan of Hartford for congress and proffered support to former Mayor A. M. -Paonessa of New Brit ain for sheriff of Hartford county.
 Paonessa is the only avowed can- didate for the congressional nom nation, Lonergan having declined to discuss his reported candidacy despite the fact that his boom, launched last night and continued thii morning before the business of the day was reached, appeared to be in the hands of his closest friends.
 Paonessa May Fight ]
 The former New Britain mayor made no statement concerning the office of sheriff, but from his head quarters came word that he will carry hts fight for the congressional nomination into the convention.
 Lonergan and Paonessa were both registered at the Griswold House. convention headquarters, but they did not meet each other. Attor- ney Henry J. Calnen of Hartford, the nominee in 1926, spent several hours at Paonessa headquarters as did also Attorney John Blackall of Hartford, mentioned as "a possible candidate for the democratic nom- nation but who has declined offers of support and decided to remain out of the race. While not com uniting themselves to definite promise they admitted the poten- tial strength of Paonessa as a dis trlct candidate to be promising.
 Some Support In Hartford
 While the boom for Lonergan went on, Hartford democrats as- sured Paopessa that the delegation from their city would give him a large measure of support despite the fact that a man from their own city was his opponent Lonergan and the organization forces in Hart ford have been at odds for several year. Two years ago when he re- ceived the nomination for United States senator he failed to win the support of his home city, the dele gates voting for Robert P. Butler who was put forth as an 11th hour rival backed by the Capital City or ganization forces.
