 Basic reason for the revolt was the feeling among county leaders that Jim was putting personal peeve ahead of the party. Worried, Jim sent his close friend Bill Morgan out to look over the state. Pros poets continued bad.
 Meanwhile, word came that the White House didn't want an inter nal New York fight Word was passed back that Jim had no desire to hurt the President. ]. Young Dem ocrat Harold Moskovit then per- suaded Tom Cullen to step out as Farley's rival. Thus peace prevail ed, instead of one of the hottest cat-and-dog fights in the Demo- cratic party.
