Maryland SET
For Democratic
ConventionFighi
Skirmish for Power
Overshudows Interest
In Party Nominee
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 2.-Mary-
land Democrats were preparing
for tomorrow's State convention
with more interest apparent in a
skirmish for party power than in
which aspirant to back for the
presidential nomination.
Senator Kefauver defeated an
''uninstructed delegation" in the
primary election last May 5, and
technically the Tennessean is en-
titled to Maryland's 18 national
convention votes. At least, that
is what party lawyer says.
However. many party leaders
claim the law binding the dele
gates to Senator Kefauver is so
full Of loopholes that actually the
delegation could go any way.
On. the eve of the convention.
not one principal party leader has
made any public statement Of
support or disapproval Of a Presi-
dental candidate.
Mahoney Support Argued.
They're all busy talking about
George p. Mahoney, Democratic
Senate nominee.
One bloc Of leaders saws Mr..
Mahoney is entitled to support as
a candidate and nothing more
than that. Spokesman for that
faction include Baltimore's Mayor
Thomas D'Alesandro, E. Brooke
Lee, Of Montgomery County, and
Joseph M. Wyatt. South Balti-
more leader.
But H. STREET. Baldwin, Balti-
more County chief, has said MIR.
Mahoney should be allowed to pick
the convention chairman and help
choose national convention dele
gates.
Mr.. Mahoney strengthened any
possible Baltimore County support
by taking the cue and announcing
he would work to get that job for
former State Senator James j.
Lindsay, a Baltimore County Dem
ocrat who opposed him in the
primaries.
Managed Sasscer Campaign.
Mr.. Lindsay. in fact, managed
the campaign Of Representative
Sasscer, the man Mr.. Mahoney de-
feated. Mr.. Mahoney said he was
working for Mr.. Lindsay's appoint
ment as temporary chairman "in
the interests Of party harmony"
AS he did so. Mayor D'Alesandro
sounded a diScordant note. The
Mayor accused his former political
comrade, James H. Pollack, of
actively working" to line up sup
port for Mr.. Mahoney to make
him boss of the convention.
The Mayor said, however, that
the party leaders represented by
himself, Mr.. Lee and MIR. Wyatt
control 106 of the 152 State con-
vention delegates, enough to block
Mr.. Mahoney's moves for power
or even to relieve him of his ma
tional committeemanship.

Virginia 6. 0. P,
Must Pick Two
More Delegates
9TH District Meets
Saturday as Rival
Fights Continue
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va, June 2.-Only
two of Virginia's % Republican
presidential delegates remained to
be chosen today as rival G. o. P.
factions continued to swap claims
OF victory at Saturdays marathon
State party convention.
The 7th district will name it's
two delegates Saturday to round
out the 10 delegates picked in
district meetings. Four at-large
delegates were selected by the
State convention during it's 13-
hour session in Roanoke.
OF the four at-large delegates,
two-retiring State Party Chair
man Robert H. Woods of Pearls
burg and State G. o. P. Treasurer
Fred McWane of Lynchburg-
are supporting Senator Taft for
the presidential nomination.
State Senator Ted Dalton Of
Radford and c. T. Gillespie Of
Tazewell, the other delegates, said
V44Cy dAC O41CO1IkkIllGCCu.
Both Forces Claim Them.
Taft and Eisenhower forces took
turns claiming Mr.. Dalton and Mr..
Gillespie for their sides. Taft
hackers said the pair were really
"Taft-minded" men. Eisenhower
rooterS said it wasn't so.
Miss Phyllis A. Otey of Rich
mond, a vice chairman of the
G. o. P. State Central Committee.
said Eisenhower forces were
jubilant" at the Roanoke outcome.
She said Gen. Eisenhower now
has eight delegates in Virginia
as against eight for Senator Taft
and three uncommitted. Early
in the campaign the Taft forces
claimed all % delegates" Miss
Otey said. Later they dropped
their estimate to 20. Now the
Taft forces will be lucky if they
get half of the Virginia delega-
ton"
Miss Otey's claim was quickly
disputed by Taft hackers, who
confidently predicted that their
man would lock up the two 7th
District delegates to round out a
comfortable majority of the Old
Dominion delegation.
According to the Associated
Press count. 10 of the Virginia
delegates have announced support
of Senator Taft, one is for Eisen-
hover. eight are neutral and two
are in dispute.
Dispute Over Rival States.
The dispute is in the Sd Dis
trict, which elected rival states
OF delegates after a bitter intra-
party quarrel. The state conven-
ton decided to let the National
convention decide which of the
pairs of delegates should be
seated.
In other action at the Roanoke
lmeeClng:
State Senator S. Floyd Lam
dreth was voted in as new state
chairman, ouSting Robert H.
Woods Of Pearisburg who had
been recommended for a new
term by the conventions nomina-
tionS committee.
Walter E. Hoffman of Norfolk
was elected permanent chairman
Iof the convention, defeating A. B.
Sollenberger of Winchester, a
Taft supporter. Mr.. Hoffman re-
portedly leans toward Gen. Eisen-
hover.
A resolution was approved leav-
ing it up to the Central Com
mittee whether a G. o. P. candi-
|date for Senator shall be fielded
in November. Another resolution,
also approved, called for repeal of
the absent voters law.
