G. 0. P. Delegation From D. C. Expected To Be Uninstructed Democratic Group Will Back Roosevelt if He Runs, McConihe Thinks By J. A. O'LEARY. The District delegation to the Re- publican National Convention, to be elected May 18. probably will go to Philadelphia uninistructed on the question of who should be the G. O. P. presidential nominee, local party leaders believe. At the same time at least one prominent local Democrat, National Committeeman Malcolm S. Mc- Conihe, predicted the District delegation to the Democratic convention at Chicago will be for President Roosevelt if he runs. Local Democrats, however, have made no plans yet for a primary to select their delegates, but a meet- ing of the State Central Committee probably will be called soon. The Democrats have more time to make arrangements this year, since their national convention does not as- semble until July 15, whereas the Republicans will gather June 24. Colladay Seeks to Keep Post. Edward F. Colladay, Republican national committeeman for the District, who will be a candidate to continue in that office for the next four years, jojined in the be- lief that the local delegation will not be instructed for any particular Republican presidential aspirant. If this course is decided on by the local convention on May 18, the delegation would decide the ques- tion by caucus at Philadelphia. The District is allowed to send three delegates and three alternates to the Republican conclave, and preliminary arrangements for their election were announced yesterday by the State Central Committee chairman, James C. Wilkes. Republican registration will start tomorrow and continue through April 24 at State Central Committee headquarters, 1331 G street N.W. The next step will be the election of one delegate from each of 43 local precincts to attend the State convention. These 43 delegates will convene for a State organization meeting May 16, at which 43 addi- tional delegates at large will be chosen. All of these delegates form the convention which will meet two days later to elect the three dele- gates and three alternates to the national convention. The State convention also will nominate a choice for national com- mittman and national committee- woman. Mrs. Virginia White Speel, present national committeewoman, also is expected to be put forward for another term in that position. D. C. Democrats Have 6 Votes. In the Democratic convention the District is allowed 6 votes. In 1936 and for a number of years prior thereto the District sent 12 dele- gates to the convention, each cast- ing half a vote. Whether that will be done agatn this year awaits the action of the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee when it meets to make plans. The first step to be taken by the local Democrats probably will be to elect a chairman for the State Cen- tral Committee, which has been va- cant since John B. Colpoys resigned during the past year after many years as a local party leader. Mr. Colpoys, who is United States mar- shal, withdrew from local party af- fairs following passage of the Hatch Act, which prohibited Federal em- ployes from active participation in politics. Meanwhile the Senate subcommit- tee considering the Capper bill to provide by law for a general pri- mary to elect all convention dele- gates is in recess today, subject to the call of Chairman Austin. Republican Chairman Wilkes said yesterday the authority granted by the State Central Committee to re- arrange precinct boundaries was not new or unusual. It is customarily given, he explained, to make possible adjustments due to fluctuations in Population. He emphasized, however, that the authority was not conferred on him alone, but on a committee of four. His statement followed testimony yesterday by William H. Mondell, a local Republican, who told the Sen- ate subcommittee he had been in- formed the authority to change pre- cincts was delegated to the State chairman. Connecticut Avenue Businessmen Dance Approximately 150 persons ‘ at- tended the annual dinner-dance last night of the Connecticut Avenue Businessmen’s Association at the Mayflower Hotel. Louis L.
