 Ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross told com- mittee members he was confident that the Democrats will carry the state this fall.
 Senator Culhane Ill
 Senator Culhane was i'll at his home today and could not be reached for comment about any possible plans to enter an opposition slate of conven- tion delegates next month. It was not believed likely that he would do so, observers having the opinion that he would instead seek to be named a member of the local delegation or se- cure a proxy from another delegate. Senator Culhane attended the com- mittee meeting on proxy given by former Town Clerk Dora Egan, a committee member.
 Chairman Smith said after the meeting that the vote for the propo- sal to have the U. s. senatorial can- didate named earlier than other nominees was almost unanimous" |"

HULL, FARLEY
 COMBINE LEADS
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D lately, because he was cold to exten- sion of reciprocal trade agreements for three years.
 A combination of extreme New Dealers and Farley opposes the nom- ination of Federal Security Admin istrator Paul V. McNutt. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson is one of number of men classed as 100 per cent New Dealers whose nomination would jolt the conservative men and women.
 An effort either to force nomina- tion of complete New Dealer on orders of the president or to name a conservative against his will would invite political explosions.
 Hull Most Likely
 Assurances of Hull's availability, therefore, leads some observers to consider him the most likely nom- inee if Mir. Roosevelt does not run again. Hull probably will go into the convention with fewer than 50 first ballot delegates from such states as Virginia and Tennessee. But If MT. Roosevelt would tap him for suc- cessor, lines would form to the right, left and center to board the band wagon with Farley experimenting the loading.
 The postmaster general is caIn- paigning in his own right tomorrow in the Massachusetts primary for 34 convention delegates. The slate will be pledged to him unopposed. But it is known here that Farley Is looking to the vice presidential nomination if he remains in politics and he wants Hull to head the ticket.
 Backers of the Hull-Farley com- bination base their arguments on the compelling political factor of confidence that it could be elected provided it had MT. Roosevelt's wholehearted support. It generally is conceded that no Democratic tick ct could overcome his opposition or survive his faint praise. The Repub- lican position, stated with equal em- phasis, is, of course, that no Demo- cratic ticket can be elected this year with or without MT. Roosevelt's as- SiStance.

split into four columns, the first swinging northwestward up the Gudsbandal and reaching a point near Otta where it has been opposed by strong allied forces. The Ger mans are trying to reach the rail road junction of Dombaas, which would virtually wrecx allied com- munication lines in all central Nor way.
 On Hjerkinn Front
 Hjerkinn front-A second German column advanced up the Oester Valley, again splitting into three parts, One part headed eastward from Alvdal through dangerous mountain roads and was reported to have reached a point near Hjerkinn, which is on the Dombaas- Stoeren railroad. The British were opposing the column, apparently somewhere near Hjerkinn in a bat tie that was of greatest importance to protection of the railroad.
 Inset Front-Another Nazi column in the Oester Valley turned west ward at Tynset and went through snow-choked mountain roads to- ward Inset and Ulsberg, with the idea of cutting the same railroad at Ulsberg. It was reported to nave

the obvious necessity of calling in the police after having been robbed, begin to shout these people are con- spring against us.'
 He accused the German consul at Narvik, Dr. M. A. Noda, 8 World War submarine commander, of hav- ing been the chief Germany spy charged with preparations for the invasion. Further, he asserted, Nol- da had been German consul at Le Havre when the Liner Paris was destroyed by 8 mysterious fire. Hambro said that he personally had warned the Norwegian govern ment to be most careful about per- mitting Nolda to serve as a German consular official in Norway.
 Detailed Answer
 Hambro, chairman of the Nor- wegian parliamentary foreign af- fairs committee, was sent here at the start of the invasion to act as his governments special represen- tative. In an interview with the United Press he gave detailed ans wer to the Nazi charge that anybody but Germany had ever contem- plated an invasion.
 we now have irrefutable proof that Germany made detailed plans for invasion months before" Ham, bro said, We would be in a better position today if the British really had had disembarkation parties prepared, and even more SO if the Allied intelligence service, which knew of the German preparations, had warned us in advance.
 we are not happy to have to admit our legation at Berlin had news of the German decentralization parties preparing to sail from Ger man ports a week before the attack on Norway. We now have state- ments of our legation that they knew for some weeks that German

 ''The Allies also knew of these preparations and if they had only informed us it would have been helpful in preparing for any event. uality, as we had taken no precau- tions whatsoever and were caught by surprise. The fact that the Allies never informed the Norwegian gov-

ALLIED TROOPS ARE DIGGING IN

The troops were described as con- structing strong defensive positions north of Steinkjer which the Allied command believed would be able to resist any German assault. Advance units of the Namsos force were for ced to retire from Steinkjer last week after bitter fighting with the Germans.
 The French troops were said to be particularly well equipped.
 They are uniformed in khaki with warm gloves and short heavy coats with sheepskin collars.
 The first French detachment was said to have landed at Namsos April IS under the command of General Audet with General Bethouard as second in command. They have manned all the strategic points around Namsos Fjord.
 German Attack Repulsed
 The Germans were said to have attacked yesterday bringing tanks and armored cars into action for the first time but the French succeeded in driving them off with fire from their anti-tank guns.
 The neutral observer said that there was no true front yet eStab- lished in the Namsos region, fight ing largely being confined to skir- mishes between groups of patrols. He said that the French appeared to be in charge of operations at Namsos.
 The British territorials - units roughly corresponding to the Na- tional Guard in the United States have no artillery or anti-aircraft guns, as yet, he said.
 The Allied planes. however, are all British. The observer said he saw no French planes in the area. No airfialds have been constructed as yet but the planes have been able to take off and land from cleared areas of ground, usually from farm fields.
 The port of Namsos was described as greatly damaged by the German air raids. All the major buildings were said to have been razed. Dam- age was especially heavy in the raids of April 21 when five French soldiers were reported killed and seven wounded. An undetermined number of British were also killed. Direct hits were said to have been scored on the Grand Hotel. Among the British dead were said to be Captains Lindsey and Flaming, and Naval Captain Blake.
 Nazis In Forced March
 German troops were reported to have arrived in the Hjerkinn sec- tor after a forced march across a

mountain road from Alvdal, south of Roeros in the Oester Valley.
 The British, according to frontier dispatches, were in strong positions on the $500 foot plateau at Hjer- kim and endorsements were on the way to them from Andalsnes, their base on the coast southwest of Trondheim.
 Several thousand British and French troops were reported to have landed at Namsos, northeast of Trondhei1n, and it was said that the British were strongly fortifying their positions in the Steinkjer neighborhood midway between Nam sos and the German base at Trond- helm.
 The Allies and Germans were en- gagged in possibly a decisive race to get strong endorsements to Nor way. Fishermen on the Swedish coast reported yesterday that they saw several groups of German transports proceeding toward Nor way, protected by warships and air. planes.
 Norwegian forces were scattered through the country, little heard of, but pursuing persistent guerrilla tactics along roads controlled by the Germans.

 More than 2,000 persons attended some of the Congress sessions in a government auditorium, but Ene final report of the credentials committee showed 1,264 delegates, of whom 37C were white.
 Randolph asserted that the con- gress would lose its mass appeal by close ties to any political party or trade union group.
 There was only scattering of ap- plause for Randolph, but there was a roar of approval as Max Yergan New York, was presented as the un- opposed nominee for president. Ran- dolph had been offered the llornina- tion. Yergan is 8 lecturer at City College of New York.
