 Regardless of this aspect, 1t ap. peared today that the last-ditch barrage of the Hartford man would fail to pry loose the great number of delegates who have committed themselves to Senator Lonergan's renominatlon on the first ballot,
 McNeil, McDOnOugh Out
 That former National Committee man Archibald McNeil, of Bridge port, or Attorney Thomas r. Me- Donough, of New Britain and West Hartford, would have more than Q scattering of votes was deemed un- likely by delegates today. All party leaders of real potency in the state have endorsed Senator Lonergan and many of the larger delegations are tacitly pledged to his renomina- ton.

of God, he believed and made a
public profession of his faith, rati-

chief desire has been to serve God

end he has built chapel for them
