is a woman industrialiSt, Miss Vivien Kellems of Westport, who has bitterly attacked State Chair man J. Kenneth Bradley and other leaders for supporting Mrs. Luce.
 Baldwin Assured
 Ex-Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin seems assured of renomination de- spite 8 revolt by the Bridgeport G. o. P. organization. The Park City group is backing ex-Lieuten- ant Governor Clifford B. Wilson, but does not seem to have lined up any great delegate strength.
 The principal contenders for the secretary of state nomination are Mrs. Redick and Mrs, Alice Russ, of Shelton. A deadlock may bring about the introduction of a com promise candidate.
 Efforts to have Attorney General Francis A. Pallotti dropped from the ticket have not gathered any great momentum and he seems al- most certain of renominatlon.
 Ex-Controller Fred zeller of Stonington will be renominated, as will ex-CongresSman-at-Large B. J. Monkiewincz of New Britain.
 The race for the nomination for state treasurer is wide open. Prin- cipal candidates receiving mention are Michael D. McGovern of New Haven and Judge Sheldon Smith ot Norwalk, but one or more clark horses" may enter the field. State Chairman Bradley will be temporary chairman of the conven- tion.
 It was announced today that the morning session tomorrow, starting at 10 o'clock, will continue right through until full ticket has been named. This may mean a very late lunch hour for the delegates.
 Rep. Hadden, a powerful figure 1T the state G. o. F., is ready to meet MT. Pape in floor contest if such strategy is decided on by MT. Brad ley and his aides.
 Pape packers are confident that their candidate will win, but ob' servers believe that the Waterbury publisher will be the nominee only if the leadership gives the greer light" to his candidacy. Such 2 development did not appear likely this afternoon.
 The Pape camp was hopeful thai there might be truth in hotel lobby rumors that the leadership wal dropping Attorney General Pallott and would run MT. Hadden in hi stead.
 Waterbury R Republic an have opened their headquarters at the Hotel Bond here.
