 Other aspirants in the field are Harry Shanks of Cleveland, Ohio, a 1888 candidate, Patrick Beacon of West Virginia, and John Neff of Staunton, Vau a Byrd-Glass adherent.
 Anti-New Deal elements in the Young Democrats have been secretly trying to organize . coalition to control the con- yention, but SO far have made little headway.
