 to retire from the city court bench to risk possible defeat in the elec- ton.
 An aggressive campaign between now and Monday is promised by the Perriello group. Organizations were being set up in the voting districts today, and proposed delegates to the three conventions were being chosen. The lists of delegates nominated must be in the hands of Secretary Vernon Hall of the town committee by Friday at 5 p. m.
 Incensed At Committee
 The pro-Perriello Republicans are incensed at the action of the town committee in refusing to endorse the mayor for the nomination. Coming in for particular criticism was Francis T. Phillips, town commit tee treasurer, who was said to have refused to consider the nomination of Mayor Perriello as the Republi- can candidate under any circum- stances.
 The Perriello cause may gain fur ther strength from the reported plans of the party organiga tion, led by Town Committeeman J. Warren Upson, to drop several Republican members of the board of aldermen, including Aldermanic President Bur- ton H. War.er, Alderman Fenton Niver, and Alderman Frank Vara- nelli, who was oppointed by the mayor only few weeks ago.
 Decision to battle the town com- mittee in a primary was made this morning. Previously, the Perriello forces had been of the opinion that 1t would be better strategy to remain aloof from the primary, and concentrate on backing Mir. Per- riello as the Independent Republi- can mayoralty candidate. However, SO much dissatisfaction with the town committees complete ignoring of Mayor Perriello resulted in change of plans, and the decision to battle the Upson-William J. Pape organization.
 Interested In Mayoralty
 Leaders of the Perriello faction said they were interested only in the mayoralty nomination and that If the town committee placed the may or at the head of the ticket they would have no objection to the town committee naming the rest of the candidates.
 Some sources said that Judge Con- way would probably be unwilling to engage in a primary fight. In this case, with the Republican town or ganization dead-set against MT. Per- riello, the nomination would go to a candidate like Major John M. Bur- rall or William Curtis.
 Splits G o P Ranks
 The failure of the organization forces to recognize Mayor Perriello may serve to cleave wider split in the Republican ranks. The Perriello supporters say that the only thing that can halt a primary fight is for the town committee to withdraw Its objections to MT. Perriello as the mayoralty nominee.
 The town committee slate of can- didates, which the committee has hoped will find Judge Conway head ing it, would also include Charles c. Foster as candidate for controller and Alderman Thomas Bane for city clerk. The organizations can- didate for tax collector would prob- ably be either Anthony Petrillo, who polled an extremely heavy vote when running for minor post two years ago, or Joseph DiPietro, active in Young Republican circles.
 Decision Last Night
 The town committees decision to favor Judge Conway for the nomi- nation was made last night after re- ceiving recommendations from a special committee which had been studying possible candidates. Attor- ney Albert Hummel expressed dk- approval, saying he was not an asso- ciate of Mayor Perriello. but that he felt the party would make a mistake in not giving him the nomination.
 Attorney Galullo's call for mass meeting of Republican packers of Mayor Perriello tonight was broad cast over both local radio stations.
