stopped because Potsdam envisaged
Germany as an economic whole and

Seeks Candidate After
veering From Drum
BY the Assoeioted Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 31.-Gov
Thomas E. Dewey's Republican high
command recanvassed the field to-
night for "a Senate nominee after
apparently veering from its No. /
preconvention choice, 1t. Gen. Hugh
A. Drum
Although letting it be known that
the race was wide Open" the Dewey
forces were reliably reported az
adamant against Maj. Gen. William
j. wild Bill Donovan, the only
declared candidate for the nomina-
ton.
Gen. Donovan. World War I COM
mander of New York's Fighting
69th' Division, was chief of the Of
flee of Strategic Services in the last
war.
Donovan Denies Charges.
Gen. Donovan, who has vowed to
carry his fight to the COP State
convention opening Tuesday al
Saratoga Springs, has been assailed
as "antilabor and antiunion" by the
State Federation of Labor.
Replying to detailed charges, Gen
Donovan fatty denied today an &C
cusation of "cossack" conduct while
he commanded a National Guard
cavalry unit on strike duty at Depew
N. Y, in 1914
Gen. Donovan said he was per-
forming his duties as a Federal at
torney when he prosecuted union
leaders in connection with an al
legged dynamiting attempt during a
Buffalo streetcar strike in 1922.
Gen. Donovan branded false" and

charges that as chief assistant At
torney General his attitude toward
labor during a 1926 Indianapolis
streetcar strike was "thinly yelled
antagonism' The federation had
criticized also what it called Gen
Donovan's vigorous defense of the
yellowdog contract" in the Indiana
polls case.
Will Draft Dewey.
The Dewey group, expected to con-
troll the convention which is slated
to draft" the Governor for re-
nomination, Is understood to op-
pose Gen. Donovan because of the
labor opposition and Gen. Donovan s
showing as Republican gubernato-
rial candidate in 1882.
Gen. Donovan was defeated by
Herbert H. Lehman, the Democratic
nominee, by $4,000 votes and ran
behind President Hoover in New
York State by more than 100000
votes.
The Dewey forces reported swing
away from Gen. Drum followed by
two days a statement by the &C.
year-old soldier that he was not
seeking the nomination. Although
leaders of veterans supporting Gen.
Drum insist he be drafted, there are
indications the high command Is
convinced that Gen. Drum definite
ly would not make the race.
