faces a tangle such as per-

a convention.
right of newly chosen commit-
to seats, the question of open

to the finish on the selection of Sen-

the convention their fight for the seat-

some of the problems engrossing

now held by Victor Rosewater, will
be disposed of as soon as the com-
meets for organization Thurs-

will bring Mr. seat into

contest be considered against Mr.

expected, to name Mr. Rosewater
