 governor, can make good his deter mination to be the gubernatorial nominee. Should he be rejected, It was understood Lavery would abandon his own campaign which is looked upon with disfavor by Harry E. Mckenzie, Danbury, first lieutenant of State Chairman J. Henry Roraback.
 Mckenzie attempted to reject Wilcox for second place two years ago but was forced to give Tn when Wilcox walked into the con- vention with the nomination in his pocket.
 Names of Prospects
 Should Wilcox be dumped In September, the names of former motor vehicles commissioner Rob- . bins B. Stoeckel, now of Yale uni versity, and States Attorney Arthur M. Brown, New London county, will be prominent in the convention fight. Stoeckel announced more than a year ago he would be a candidate. Brown, a powerful ora tor who publicly declined two months ago to consider the nomin- ation, may be drafted, it was re- ported. He has never been identi- fled with the machine.
 The renomination of J. William Hope, state treasurer, and Anson r. Keeler, comptroller, both of Fairfield county, appeared certain. With Secretary of State John A. Danaher eyeing the attorney -gerel- ship, despite the avowed candidacy Of Warren B. Burrows, party lead- CTS were said to be considering a woman for the seretaryship. Thus far Mrs Alice Merritt, Hartford, former state senator, has been the only one mentioned.
 Bingham Worries Them
 One of the biggest worries Is what to do with former U. $. Sem ator Hiram Bingham, who moved his residence from New Haven to Salem, after his defeat Two years ago by Augustine Lonergan.
 Bingham wants to go to con- gress, friends intimated, and the New London county delegation is behind him, However Congressman William L. Higgins, Coventry. in tends to fight for re-nomination and the same has been said of Congressman-at-large Charles Bake well, sNew Haven, who, like Bing- ham, abandoned e.
