named for one of the most ia

Bitter Floor Fight
Faces COP Leaders
Over New Chairman
Schroeder, Opposed
By WiIIkie, Refuses
To Withdraw
By GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. THE
Republican National Committee
met today with the prospect of a
bitter floor fight over the election
of new national chairman to
succeed Representative Martin
of Massachusetts,, who is retiring.
Efforts to adjust differences failed
after long conferences yesterday and
last night.
Werner w. Schroeder, national
committeeman from Illinois, op-
posed by Wendell L. Willkie as an
isolationist and as the candidate
of the Chicago Tribune, said fatty
he will not withdraw from the race
Chairman Martin, who has been
seeking peace and a harmonious
agreement on chairman, said that
apparently the last hope of a COM
promise had been wiped out by the
statement made by Mr. Schroeder
keeping himself in the race.
Sprague Silent on Choice.
AS the members of the committee
went into session at II am. it was
evident that some tempers had been
sorely tried. Outside of the dyed
in-the-wool Schroeder supporters,
few of the members were willing to
say for whom they intended to
vote when balloting starts late today.
J. Russell Sprague of New York
said:
Il want to see who is in the race
before I say for whom I shall vote
Some of the candidates may be
scratched.
Supporters of Mr.. Willkie in the
committee started a drive to line
up votes for Frederick Baker, acting
national committeeman for the State
of Washington. Sinclair Weeks of
Massachusetts, was active in Mr..
Bakers candidacy.
It was evident. too, that some
votes would be cast for Harrison E.
Spangler of Iowa. Former Senator
Townsend of Delaware. who has
himself been mentioned as a pos
sibility for the job. said he would
vote for Mr. Spangler. Mr.. Townsend
Is here holding proxy for the
Delaware national committeeman,
former Senator Hastings.
Many "FavOrite Sons"
The general attitude was that the
members would wait and see how
