Gov. Baldwin Hopes
Mrs. Luce Will Run
Despite Party Rift
BY the Associated Press.

GREENWICH, Conn, July 81
Although Representative Claire
Boothe Luce, Republican, OF Con-
necticut has refused to comment on
published reports that she might
not seek denomination because of
the resignation of Republican State
Central Committee Chairman j.
Kenneth Bradley, her mentor, Gov.
Raymond E. Baldwin, has declared
himself hopeful that Mrs. Luce will
run again for Congress"
Mr.. Bradley, who has long been
at odds with Gov. Baldwin over
Republican party policy in Con-
necticut, announced his resignation
Saturday in a surprise move, six
weeks after he and the governor
in a joint announcement, had said
that he would give up either his
State Craftsmanship or his men,
bership on the Republican National
Committee mot later than imme-
diately after the November elec-
tion."
In formal statement issued yes
terday by her secretary, Mrs. Luce
said the acceptance of Mr.. Brad
ley's resignation by the State Cen
trail Committee would make the task
OF Connecticut Republicans running
for reelection much more diff
cult
She said she hoped the State Gen.
trail Committee would appoint a
committee to ask Mr.. Bradley to re-
consider his resignation.
Last month as chairman of the
State Central Committee, Mrs.
Luce said, Mr.. Bradley appointed
a committee to ask the Governor
to reconsider his decision not to
run this year. 1t is said the State
Central Committee is considering
just such a committee to urge Mr..
Bradley to reconsider his resigna-
ton.
Il hope that this Is true" she
said. 1T certainly would be turn
and turn about, and a great sign
Of that party harmony which will
best assure us all of victory in No
vember."
In the announcement of his resig-
nation Mr.. Bradley said that Gov.
Baldwin had insisted that I relin-
qulsh the Craftsmanship at once"
