Democratic Battle Shapes New Elaven Delegation Contest
The New Haven and Hartford county factions split over the Brean VW Mahan choice for Delegate-at-large as the state convention opened. Homer S. Cummings praised Wilson while anti Mahan forces backed William Geary of Waterbury. Donovans and Fitzgeralds loom in a possible united drive to drop Mahan from the big four slate. The central committee may send delegates uninstructed or as a unit and a wet plank appears unlikely.
