Whom Does
 Mir. Farley Like?
 Inside Info Is Bennett Clark
 For President
 In 194O-And Himself For Governor In '38

Washington, August 31.-Latest sensation to jingle the ears of political insiders is report Jim Farley favors Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri for president in l940 and himself for governor of New York in 1888.
 Farley is said to have told cer-
 tain members of the Democratic
 Finance Committee he would be able to control majority of dele gates at the next party convention and nominate himself or one of
 his friends. Clark, he intimated, stood foremost among his friends. If this report is true-and it is causing disturbance in some very 1 high places-it becomes doubly significant because Clark for some months has been rumored the 194C favorite of President Garner Politicians in both New Deal and anti-NeW Deal Democratic factions have suspected a forthcoming Gar ner-Farley alliance against the New Dealers surrounding the President. NO BREAK
 WITH F. D. R.-YET
 Top New Dealers are so convinced Farley seeks the New oYrk gover- norship they have abandoned hope temporarily, at least--of getting 8 man of their own choice nominated A New York governor automatically becomes a presidential possibility and the goVernorship would strengthen Farley's position at tht national convention.
 New Dealers complain the prob
 ability of District Attorney Tom Dewey's candidacy on the Repub- lican ticket and the scandals in-
 volving Farley's political ally, Jim
 mic Hines, would make Farley's election unlikely. But there's noth-
 ing they can do and they admit
 Farley can get the nomination if
 he wants it.
 Curiously, no break between Far ley and Roosevelt has yet occurred which indicates Jim would not SUD- port F. D. R. for a third term if the latter wanted 1t. Even those Roose- welt friends bitterest against Farley believe his loyalty would lead hin to back the President on such ar issue. Perhaps that's a hope, al. though Farley has publicly said an! man would be foolish to indicat' his presidential candidacy befor, Roosevelt made his plans known. LEWIS READY
