Local republican delegates to the party's state convention to be held next week in New Haven will go to the session unpledged and with an open mind as to who the choice for the gubernatorial nom- ination is to be.

 Charles J. DeBisschop, chairman of the fifth ward g. o. p. forces and a delegate to the state convention, declared emphatically that he is not behind the boom to draft former Governor John H. Trumbull for the nomination of governor.
 Ex-Governor Trumbull is being pushed as the logical candidate on the grounds that he is the only per- son strong enough at this time to unseat the democratic incumbent, Governor Wilbur l.. Cross.
 "I am not pledged to anybody. Neither is any other member of the Waterbury delegation to. the state convention" said MT DeBis- schop today. "We will go into the state convention with an open mind"

ALFRED E. SMITH
 KEEPS HIS SILENCE

New York, Sept 3-CUP)-Plans to "vindicate' James J. Walker and "hobble" Franklin D. Roose- velt's presidential ambitions in the November election may be thwart- ed by a threatened split among Tammany Hall allies, by legal decision, or by the former mayors own poor health.
 These three obstacles to the re- ported intentions of the resigned mayor were outstanding to-day as the city considered his resignation, his intimation that he would be candidate to succeed himself, and the effect of such candidacy on the presidential campaign.
 When Walker resigned under fire, loosing a savage attack on Governor Roosevelt for the latter's conduct of the trial in which the removal charges were heard, the governor did not reply. Samuel Seabury, counsel for the commit tee which investigated Walker, did answer Walkers charges before he sailed for Europe last night. throughout these hearings, Seabury said, Roosevelt proved himself a worthy successor in the governorship to Samuel J. Tilden and Grover Cleveland" Prior to the hearing, Seabury had criticized the governors "inaction," which Roosevelt had said was due to the fact he was destined to sit as judge in the case.

 And now that the furry of the Seabury investigation and Walker trial no longer obscure the munici- pal perspective, there is growing realization that Mckee long has been something of a thorn in the lean ribs of "Playboy Jimmy ' Also that many of the policies and practices which have recently been investigated were originally at tackled and particially brought to light by Mckee himself, working in his obscure and quiet way as
