winner might not be known until

The anti-McKay forces. seeking
10 deny Mckay reelection as Re-

from Michigan, are led by Governor
Kelly. whose public acceptance OF
the leadership in an election cam
paign year places additional EN-
phasis upon this test OF his
strength.
Mckay on the one hand and
Kelly on the other preserved strict
silence on probable outcome OF the
impending clash between their
for 'es in conferences expected 10
last from early Wednesday right
up to the hour OF the convention
Thursday.

a lieutenant OF Kelly in the fight,
said the best appraisal indicated an
even division between Mckay and
anti.McKay sentiment among the
"a congressional district delegates
who will be elected TO the nation
al convention. and that this would
mean the delegates-at-large would
have to cast the deciding votes on
election OF a national committee
