Only in Governorship Races
Continued From Page Al

King. The latter now is given
at least an even chance of beat
ing Republican John Pillsbury
Favored in two Senate races
are Senator Norris Cotton, Re-
publican, and Representative
Perkins Bass, Republican, the
latter to succeed the last Styles
Bridges. The two House seats
are expected to remain Repub-
lican.
VERMONT Senator George
D. Aiken, Republican, faces
only token opposition. His ex-
pected lopsided majority should
reassIlre reelection for Gov. F.
Ray Keyser, jr., Republican. and
Representative Robert T. Stat
ford, Republican. But Demo-
Gratis figure to make stable in
roads into G. o. P. margins.
MASSACHUSETTS Edward
(Ted Kennedy rated a shoo-in
for the Senate against Repub-
lican George Cabot Lodge. Also
favored is Republican Gov.
John A. Volpe for a second
term, although Democrat Endi-
colt (Chub) Peabody could
ride in with Mr.. Kennedy.
The State loses a House men,
Der and Is incumbents seek the
IL seats. In the 5th district
Representative F.. Bradford
Morse. Republican, is fighting
1t out with Representative
Thomas j. Lane, Democrat. All
other incumbents apparently
will prevail.
RHODE ISLAND There's a
slim chance that Democrat
John A. Notte, jr., could be
knocked out of the Governors
chair by Republican John H.
Chaffee. Both Democratic House
members are favored.
CONNECTICUT - A shaky
guess: Democrats will win the
governorship, the United States
Senate seat and five of six
House chairs (they occupy four
of them now. !
In the governorship derby are
Gov. John N. Dempsey, Demo-
crat, and John Alsop, Repubn-
can. Abraham A. Ribicoff, for
mer Secretary of Welfare faces
Horace ely-Brown, jr., six
term Republican Congressman,
for the Senate seat.
NEW YORK-Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller is picked to win
easily over Democratic-Lib
Robert M. Morgenthau. Senator
Jacob K. Javits, Republican,
should take James B. Donovan,
OtiIlOCIdG, lldIlully.
The House delegation is
shrinking from 43 to Al, and
Republicans did the redistrict-
ing. Helped along by demora-
lization among the Democrats,
the G.. o. P. may reclaim a !
majority of the delegation. Old
Congress lineup was Democrats
%; Republicans 81. An edu-
Gated guess at the new lineup:
Republicans %, Democrats 10.
NEW JERSEY-Present out
look: Reelection of the eight
Republican and five Demo-
cratic incumbents; the contest
for former Democratic Repre-
sentative Addonizio's chair a
toss up; easy Democratic vic
tory in the new 18th district.
PENNSYLVANIA - Senator
Joseph S. Clark, Democrat, is
rated the choice over Repre-
sentative James E. Van Zandt,
conservative Republican for
Senator. But Republican Will
liam w. Scranton is given o
modest edge over Richardson
Dilworth for governor.
Present House lineup: Re
publicans l6, Democrats IA.
State loses three in re-appor-
tionment. Some guess the new
delegation might be about
equally divided again.
MARYLAND-Gov. J. Willard
Tawes. Democratic incumbent,
apparently leads Frank Small,
jr., Republican and Represen-
tative Daniel B. Brewster, Dem
ocrat, also seems ahead of Ed
ward T. Miller, Republican, in
the Senate race.
In the House the present
lineup is 6 Democrats, / Repub-
lican. The State will gain one
new seat.
OF incumbents runningl
again, one Democrat is unop-
posed, three are rated ahead
and so was Democratic Rep
resentative Thomas F. John
son Of the Eastern Shore, at
least before he was indicted
October l6 on charges of get
ting compensation for inter-
ceding for an accused mail
fraud operator.
The lone Republican incum-
bent appears to be a winner.
Tightest contests may be for
a new at-large seat. and the
one vacated by Representative
Brewster.
DELAWARE - In the only
contest Of national interes Il
Representative Harris B. Nc
Dowell, jr., Democratic, figures
to win reelection. His Repub-
lican challenger is Wilmer F.
(Rudy) Williams.
WEST VIRGINIA - Among
five House contests, Democratic
incumbents appear winners in
four. In the fifth it's a toss
up between a Republican Con-
gresham and Democratic Con-
gresham.
