 Tone Opposes Maloney
 Hartford, Conn.,. Aug. - SuF At least one knock down, orag out fight threatened the harmony of the democratic state convem- ton at Eastern Point, 1t was ren- ably reported today when U pe- came known that state izapor Commissioner Joseph M. Ione' New Haven, will oppose Sons Francis T. Maloney, Meriden, TOT the U. S. senatorial nominatioh.
 There had been widespread re, ports that Tone would be satisnea with a congressional nomanatioh, leaving him uncontested n Una. field, When Maloney annouhceu several weeks ago he would pc ' candidate for the senate. Nationai Committeeman Archibald McNeh and a few other party leaders raj. lied to his support and It appeared no major issue would disturb the convention.
 However, s n tor Augustine Lonergan is opposed to Maloney and leaders feared that if he join ed forces with Tone the result would be disastrous for the Meri- den congressman.
 Supporters of Tone, a forcefui campaigner and whose campaign against the sweatshops gained him national recognition, said his fight would be started in the New Hav+ en primaries, the stamping ground of David E. Fitzgerald, one of the party's strongest leaders. The lat- ter favors Maloney.
 His record as labor commission. CT includes passage by the legisla- ture of many laws adjusting the hours and wages of workers and affecting child labor. Secretary Of Labor Frances Perkins double starred Connecticut's labor de- partment and offered Tone post as assistant labor commissioners at Washington.
 He served two terms in the state senate, 1923 and 1925 and was secretary of the state central com mittee when Gov. Wilbur L. Cross left the Yale campus to lead his party to it's first victory in 1S years. During the past few years he has visited almost every city and town in the state to talk on labor problems and conducted q vigorous newspaper campaign for better labor legislation.
 Tones entry into the senatorial picture would resemble the con- vention fight two years ago when Lonergan upset the new guard faction plans to nominate Prof. Harry Morgan Ayers, Westport, for the same post.
 Results of Primaries
 (By United Prcss.)
 Apparent elimination of Glenn Shaven, nationally known demo- cratic figure and candidate of Postmaster James A. Farley, in the race for his party's senatorial nomination in West Virginia fea- tured yesterdays primaries in three states.
 The backing of the former dem ocratic national chairman by Far ley had aroused interest among those watching for New Deal straws-in in -the-wind. Rush D. Holt, Weston, appeared to be Shaver's successful opponent. No direct New Deal test was apparent, however, as Holt also supported President Roosevelts' policies. >
 Results appeared to be about as expected in the primaries in Mis- souri and Kansas.
 The Missouri contest was large. ly a test of strength between the states two largest cities, St Louis and Kansas City.
 With Tom Pendergast throwing his state organization behind Judge Harry s. Truman and with St Louis supporting the candidacy of Rep. John J. Cochran, a bitter fight resulted. Truman was lead. ing.
 Cochran, who has served in the house since 1928 and is known here as one of the shrewdest of politicians was trailing Truman.
 Sen. Bennett Champ Clark. d.. Mo-, was backing Rep. Jacob l.. Milligan, d., Mo, for promotion to the senate. Milligan's strength lay in the rural districts. He was running third.
 Sen. Henry D. Hatfield. r., w. Va, who used the closing days of the 7Srd congress for long speech l. es in opposition to the Roosevelt administration and who made those speeches, the text of his
