The/| defendant apparently avoided sceing Parker in the witness chair, never turning his head the slightest in that direction.

The plan was to then appoint a committee on procedure for the purpose of steering the convention. Indications were that the ccnven- tion would last at least two days and that delegates would not get to the business of selecting candidates before late this afternoon. if Although the selection of Fine as temporary chairmaft was regard- ed in some quarters as an adminis- tration victory, this was discounted by backers of the various candi- dates.

Although it was apparent that none of the candidates for the bernatorial endorsement would foe a majority on the first ballot, the feeling was that Lieutenant Governor Walter Maddock, Plaza, was easily in the lead. It was con- sidered possible, however, that the. convention may go into a cubernatorial Nonpartisan ment. Some were of the opinion that the most logical dark-horse candi- date would be C.
