NO CHANCE IN
 STATES QUOTA
Democrats to Send Usual l6 Delegates to Na-
 tiOnal Convention

Despite the abrogation of the two-thirds rule by the Democratic national convention and the new plan for apportionment that will be submitted to the 194O convention by party leaders, Connecticut will have as many delegates to future conven- ton.
 The defenite plan for reappor- tionment is not known, but is ex- pected that 1t will take the form of giving additional delegates to states whose electoral votes in the pre- vious presidential election went to the Democratic candidate. The exact form that [ he reapportior- ment plan will take will be decided by the new national committee, which goes into office today, Conn., ecticut's members will be David F. FitzQerald of New Haven and Mrs. Josephine Flynn of Bridgeport. '
 In doing away with the ancient two-thirds rule, which more than once deadlocked Democratic converl- tionS, party leaders had to make concessions to the southern states, most of which are regularly demo- cratic at the polls. The new plan, 1t has been predicted, will be to offer thre additional delegates to each state which goes democratic.
 National Committeeman FitS- Gerald has started no matter what reapportionment plan is worked out, Connecticut will have at least its present number of delegates, which is i6. The reapportionnent plan will not affect the 1040 con- vention, since 1t will be submitted to the l040 convention with the provision that 1t becomes effective for the following convention, that Of 1044.

lawyer.
 Four years later Smith was nominated. Four years ago he was in Chicago, leading the conserva- lives seeking to stop Roosevelt, who had nominated Smith and fought for him in 1924 and 1928, running for governor on Smiths earnest plea, and who now wanted the nomination for himself. Smith barely failed.
 And now here he is again, vain- y urging Democrats to abandon Roosevelt, threatening to desert the party if they don't.
 The record shows, in short, that in the last seven election years, ex. cept or 10l6, when Wilson was re. nominated unanimously, and 1928 when he himself was nominated, Al hRs been out there with a ''step' sign against the liberal candidate every single time.
