Conventions in 2 States. By the Assoctiated Press. The last primaries and nominating conventions of the year will be held to- morrow in five States, clearing the po- litical stage for the final seven-week campaigning drive before the November elections. YVoters of the Democratic and Re- publican parties will select candidates in New York, Massachusetts and Wis- consin. In Connecticut, a Republican convention will aominate the party choices, while in Delaware the Demo- crats will select standard bearers in like fashion. The only senatorial nominees are to be selected in Massachusetts and Dela- ware. In Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Connecticut there are gubernatorial contests, while in New York State only candidates for the House are to be| voted on.
