Five county Dem chiefs loom as state leaders
Albany reports a leaderless New York State Democratic Party after the Kennedy assassination. A coalition of five county chairmen is likely to head the party, led by NYC chairs Stanley Steingut Moses Weinstein and Frank Rosetti with Nassau’s Jack English and East County’s Joseph Crangle. Albany’s Dan OConnell and ex-State Chairman William McKeon also seek influence. Only two elected officials could bid for power, NYC Councilman Frank O’Connor and Comptroller Arthur Levitt, while Assembly Speaker Travia plans to resign for a federal judgeship. If Democrats hold the Assembly, a new speaker is expected to emerge.
