which provide for nine sections, 18 town committee members from the present 32 districts, cutting almost by half the representations of the Republican voters.
 Primary Date
 Boss" Upson, confidently and as suavely as when he called the spe- cial meeting advertised for his ous- ter, left open the door to a primary contest. He told the committee that if opposing tickets of delegates are to be presented they must be in his hands by 5 o'clock, August 20, Sat- urday, as the primaries will be held August 32. Each nominating petition must be signed by IS Re- publican electors of the voting dis trict and he said that he will be glad to supply forms to any who wish them.
 Mortimer J. Calvin asked whether there would be caption on any list of these potential delegates which would label the Organization" OUp- son-Faller) ticket. The town chair man denied that this would be the case. MT. Calvin reminded the town chairman that some time ago the committee voted in favor of the 32- district membership representation on the town committee and asked that the committee vote again, either for or against
 This motion was not put, commit teemen in the Ideal" for district leadership or re-appointment refus- ing to make issue of the major pur- pose for which the meeting was called.
 Aldermen Kingston and Bane dis cussed whether town committee members or district leaders pick the delegates, with Alderman Kingston remarking that the leaders make the choice.
 Tt Is no such thing" Chairman Upson said. "The delegates are nominated by Is Republican elec- tors in each district. There is no duty on the part of any district leader to pick the delegates from his district. He can cooperate, but each district names it's own dele gates"
 Contingency Committeeman Irene Dillane, after Alderman Kingston had men, toned one of the new rules" citing that "in the event of contingency not provided for in the rules, the town committee could act" asked if the present situation did not come under that definition. Reference was to the opposition to the new rules)
 Chairman Upson said this was not the case, whereupon Alderman Kingston required to know whether the new rules are in effect now, or after the primaries. To the answer of Chairman Upson that they are in effect now" the Republican al- dermanic leader asked why there "are 20 members still serving on the committee, when the new rules call for IS" and added that he failed to understand how one rule could be changed without changing another.
 He also asked if the incumbent 20 district leaders are not still in office and why they cannot pick delegates rather than the district leaders yet to be named from the 32 districts. This was not explained, Chairman Upson diverging to description of the mechanics of the new set-up whereby there will be two ballot boxes in each of the 32 districts, one for the delegates and one for the town committee mem bers, In the instance of "balloting" for the town committee members those in almost half of the districts will be voting for one committee man to represent several districts of a section, but separate delegates.
 Confusing Plan
 Members took issue over the complication of this ballot system and the matter of the two sena- torlal district nominations with MT. Upson saying that delegates from each voting district in the respec- tive senatorial zones will meet at conventions and nominate separate ly within the 18th and 18th sena- torial districts. This, he said, was the reason for the two ballot boxes, one for town committeeman, the other to keep separate the delegate votes.
