It is an open secret that the national ~committeeman, k 8. Peck, and the Republican State chairman, Willlam C. Pelkey, have been at odds with Metcalf. Peck is a wealthy man. He has wanted his way in the conduct of Republican af- fairs, and Senator Metcalf has been equally stubborn. The breach between | the two roupl of ublican leaders was wide last Spring. Outwardly it has | been closed, and the State organization is working to aid Metcalf, and Metcalf is alding’ the State ticket. Two years ago Gerry ran on the same ticket with Al Smith and was defeated. | It might be argued that if he could not win under such conditions, he could not win this year. But this year the ‘economic conditions are different. Metcalf, the Republican, has to bear the burden of the protest vote, which will be tered against those conditions. n Senator Metcalf was first elected in 1924 he won over his Democratic OR- ponent by 33,000 votes.
