The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-12

Efforts are being made by the administration to split up the "old guard" of which former State Chairman Walsh Is member, by winning former National Commit teeman Cummings over to the standard of the "new guard" by promising him the picking of the new state chairman, it Is under stood.
 A conference was held at Attor- ney Cummings home Sunday night with Governor Cross, Mir McNeil. Attorney Cummings and Attorney Charles D. Lockwood present. At torney Lockwood is a lawpartner of Attorney Cummings and 1t Is understood that deal Is under way to have him named state chairman. A vacancy in the state chairmanship now exists.
 By practically promising Attorney Lockwood the chairmanship, 1t IS said, the new guard" has won prominently affiliated with the "old guard" in the past.
 However, the combine of for mer National c o m m teeman Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford, ex-Mayor David k. Fitzgerald of New Haven and former Chairman Walsh, the leaders of the "old guard" Is working diligently and 0 split in the spring convention can hardly be avoided in the opinion of party leaders.
 Eight years ago the "old guard' backed William Gibbs McAdoo of California for the presidential nomination to a certain extent and blocked a move at the New Haven convention to have the Connecticut delegation sent as 8 unit for Gov ernor Smith of New York.
 The fight on the floor of the con- vention at the time was bitter but the unit rule did not prevail with the result that the "old guard" with Attorney Cummings as the leader, went to the New York na- tional convention free to support McAdoo. Later the Connecticut delegation voted almost unanimous ly for Smith but the split in the

national convention was so great that neither McAdoo nor Smith got the nationation and John W. Davis was named for the presidential of- flee by the democrats.
 Four years ago at the national convention in Texas the entire delegation voted for Smith. His run in the subsequent election was so good that now the "old guard" feels, that he deserves support from Connecticut until such time as he desires to withdraw from the field.
 Attorney Cummings, however, still remains true to his feeling a. gainst Smith, it was pointed out today. He was against him eight years ago and favored McAdoo. He did not participate in the Smith

BITTER FIGHT AT

Division of the democratic lead CTS of Connecticut on the question of who will be supported for the presidential nomination, which was predicted long ago by the Democrat, has taken on definite form. A fight as bitter as the one of eight years ago when the state convention met in New Haven with ex-Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile of this city as chairman is prom ised when the spring session of the democrats takes place this year to elect delegates to the national ses- sion in Chicago.

landslide of four years ago. And now he has jumped back into the political limelight opposing Smith and favoring Roosevelt.
 Local democratic leaders de- clared today that they are watch- ing with interest the developments in the impending battle. While Roosevelt sentiment is of fair pro- portions in Waterbury, however, leaders still feel that Smith deser- yes support if he chooses to run in view of his great showing in 1928. Therefore, local leaders are not taking sides at this time.
