Republican insiders push for an aggressive nominee to spark a sharp late campaign at the Oct 7 State Convention. Greenhalge and Pillsbury lead the field with Dawes and Crapo glimpsed as alternates.

Bancroft to chair the state convention at Music Hall, Oct 7, as the party girds to pressure Democrats and frame the Borden case as a campaign factor.
