As q result of the Ethical

yesterday he said it is "likely''
that the ofhcial will be needed
here. In that case, the Senator
said. Hoffa would be required
to attend unless he has shown
up lready on his own initia-
tive.

Quits Hoffa

MIAMI BEACH. Fla. Sept
"a @.-A possible dark-horse
candidate for the presidency OF
the International Brotherhood
of Transfers has withdrawn his
support of James r. Hoffa.
William Lee Of Chicago, a
vice president of the Inter-
national Brotherhood Of Team
sters. and also president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor
yesterday confirmed he had
withdrawn his support fol-
Hoffa. considered the leading
candidate to succeed Dave
Beck. retiring president of the
is million-member transporta-
ton union.
Mr.. Lee declined to be in
terviewed for any elaboration
of the development.
Available Teamster sources
were at loss to evaluate the
effect of that development on
the candidacy Of Hoffa, Detroit
Teamster leader. Beck. 63, will
retire upon election of a new
president at the International
Convention of Transfers be-
ginning here next Monday.
In an interview, Thomas
Hickey Of New York. a Team
ster vice president, and one OF
the three announced candi-
dates opposing Hoffa. said he
foresaw the possibility that a
dark horse candidate would
emerge as winner in the con-
test.
Mr.. Hickey declined to name
any possibilities, but sources in
the Teamsters Union reported
that Mr.. Lee is one of the
possibilities If a presently un-
announced candidate should
emerge as q favorite when bal
loting begins on about the
fourth day of the first TeamsteI
Brotherhood convention since
1852.
