DRAFT BLANSFIELD PLAN BOCS DOWN
CTO to Leave Choice to Delegates; Byrnes Fac-
 tiOn Speeds Up

The announcement yesterday by former state senator Michael A Blansfield that he would accept the nomination for Democratic candi. date for congressman from the 5tt district If drafted" today met with a sustained opposition by the C.I.O when union leaders stated that they placed their confidence in the dele. gates to the congressional conven. tion in choosing the right man..
 Local Democratic leaders were to- day on-committal on the proposa, of MT. Blansfield stating that the formal assumption of his candi. dacy would be dependent upor various factors particularly on the strength shown by him in districts outside the Waterbury area.
 Meanwhile W. Harry Byrnes oi Watertown who announced his can. didacy for this Democratic nomina. ton has intensified his efforts tc secure the position. Sources state that a possible contest between the two will be undertaken if MT. Blans. field formally declares his candi. dacy.
 The C1o first declared its opposi. tion to the former state senator al the time his name was mentioned as possible candidate some week: ago stating that his was not a ia. vorable labor record at the time o1 his term in the state senate. MT Blansfield retorted at the time witt the declaration that he "did not fear the Judgment of the workinr man within the union and tine onlJ contest involved between me anS labor is between myself and thu labor leaders,.
 It was stated today by party lead. CTS that there was the possibility of their going into the congress sional convention with MT. Blans. cid but this possibility was purely speculative and dependent solely on developments between now anc then. No date has yet been sci for this convention but 1t has beer reported that it might be held fol. lowing the choosing of the state ticket.
 The C1.O. meanwhile has en. dorsed It's own candidate naming Peter Higgins of Torrington as their choice.
 MT. Byrnes has been actively pressing his quest for the nomina- tion and has openly requested the support of many prominent party leaders. He reported today that he has been greatly encouraged by the attitude toward his candidacy or the part of many of these leaders It has been stated that MT. Blans- field likewise has consulted with au- thorities as means of weighing the pros and cons of his proposed can didacy.
