6.0.P.RACECLOSE FORHOUSE LEADER, Tilson or Snell Expected to Win at Conference Tomorrow. By the Associated Press An intense intra-party struggle is forecast for the Republican conference | tomorrow over the selection of a man to lead the administration forces in the next House The bitterest campaign that has been waged by the Republicans in years over the selection of a speakership nominee probably will terminate in the election of either Representative Tilson ~of Connecticut, or Representative Snell of | New York The contest has been so close and intense, however, that there is a pos sibility the party may seek a com-| promise candidate | The prize actually is the minority | Jeadership, for in ell probability the | Democrats will organize the House with | their united majority. Democrats in Harmony. | Harmonlous on all important organ- | {zation issues, the latter party expects to elect Representative Garner of Texas to the speakership, and to name | Representative Rainey of Illinois, as its floor leader. Republican speakership clmpaiznmx‘ began last March when Nicholas Long- | worth of Ohlo died. For almost a dec- | ade he had been the party’s harmo- nizer. He was renominsted for Speaker for the fourth time at a party confer- ence last February. Tilson was named floor leader then. Snell, chairman of the Rules Com- mittee, took the lead over a field of about 10 contenders and held it for many months. But when through death and special elections the Demo- crats Tecently assumed a majority to| place themseives in a position to con- | trol the House, a swing of sentiment toward Tilson was seen. ‘The outcome of tomorrow's confer- | ence is expected to be close. Several favorite son candidates have added to | the confusion. A number of State delegations remain uncommitted. | Others have split Favorite Sons Backed. ‘The Pennsylvania Republican delega- | tion at a meeting Friday gave Snell 18 and Tilson 12 votes. ~Representative Britten of Illinols was indorsed yester- day by his State delegation, but indi- cations are that the 15 Republican mem will eventually divide their 'sxglrl;gkth between the New Yorker and Michigan united behind its favorite son—Representative Carl E. Mapes—at its conference yesterday. This delega- uon of 12 plans to support Mapes in- ly. They hope the Snell-Tilson | d:ontest will result in a deadlock and that Mapes will receive the nomination through a compromise. It requires a majority of those pres- | ent at a Republican conference for the election of a speakership nominee. About 25 of the 214 Republicans are expected to be absent, including mem- bers of the Wisconsin delegation who | bolted the last conference. ‘Tilson claims abcut 100 members are backing him. Snell believes that after | the favorite son voting has ended, he | will be able to muster a majority and secure the nomination. Several ballots are expected to be taken before the outcome cf the con- test will be known. Ohio plans to nominate Represent- | ative Cooper, while Kansas is sponsor- ing Representative Hcch. Iowa Repub- lican members have indicated they would support either Ramseyer or Dowell. Other favorite sons include Representatives Luce of Massachusetts, | Barbour of California, and Clague ol Minnesota. Tilson expects substantial suppcrt in | New England, the Middle West and the | Far West. Snell is depending upon the New York and New Jersey delegations, | besides the Pennsylvania and Illinois | and widely scattered support.
