 Harwood, is believed to have enough strength, with the aid of Bradley, National Committeeman Sam Pryor, Jr., and Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, to block Cornell's can didacy. The difficulty thus far has been to find a strong candidate, with popular appeal, who can be entered against Cornell.
 Harwood is represented as feeling that Cornell would not be the strongest candidate against U. S. Senator Francis T. Maloney, and that the nomination should go to another.
