rivalries that have embarrassed Hoffman in many ways reused him last night to challenge c faction of his state central committee to open war. The committee announced after c meeting Wednesday night that it had decided to assume party leadership, involving control of patronage and direction Of the party's legislative, program. Hoff- man answered last night ct dinner honoring him of his 10th birthday anniversary.
 ri c fight is demanded" he said. there will be plenty of fight" He said 24 of 42 members of the state committee had repudiated It's action. He accused State Senator Everett Colby and newspapers of creating the dissension for which he wal blamed and said he would not tol- crate arguments on the quarter deck" He ignored . statement yes- terday by Henry w. Jeffers, state chairman, that the committee inc tended no criticism of him. by its action, but apparently accepted Jef- fers' assertion that the committed never had discussed the HauptTnann case. Hoffman didn't mention Hauptmann in his dinner address.
 jeffers' statement did not dispel . public impression that the gover. nor's position in Hauptmanfi'S case influenced the committee. It had been reported previously that the committee several times had dls- cussed it in executive meetings. Pol- iticians consequently believed that Hof1man'G silence on the subject inc dicated that he would not challenge the committee on that point.

 Perfect weather conditions prevail. cd today. The air was crisp and colo with the sun breaking through fieecy clouds at intermittent intervals.
 The skiiers presented Q pic- tureSque sight as they slid at one
 minute intervals down from the top of the course, which was en- veloped in clouds, and suddenly broke into the clear high above the finish line.
 The run down the incline was a grueling test and most of the com- petitors crossed the line virtually exhausted. Most of the women tumbled at one time or another. But even so, experts declared that the form showed by athletes from g nations who competed in the mems division, and 16 in the women's were well up to Olympic form: The crowds cheered oil finishers in- discriminatory.
 Only one injury was recorded on the ski-run--JameS Riddell of Great Britain who probably will be confined to bed for several weeks due to injuries to both his legs.
