This undercurrent of resentment is reacting against those who are attempting to run this convention for President Roosevelt, the New Deal oligarchy headed by Harry of Commerce, who two years ago began to shove Jim Farley from the driv er's seat. Delegates had heard of this vaguely back in their home precincts, but they did not grasp the reality until they came here to find out that it was Harry Hopkins and his henchmen, and not Jim Farley, who was acting here for the President. Nor had they realized that Jim Farley really was intent upon stepping down. These reports they

enthusiasm was cut across today by currents of discord as the delegates sat down for their opening session. This has had two results. One was to whip the New Deal ruling clique into making overtures to Jim Farley. Harry Hopkins, who made his first mistake when he failed to call on the National Chairman upon arriving here, finally had to swallow his pride and walk across the street to plead with Jim to remain at his post. The other result was to bolster up the elements within the party which, in one way and another and for one reason and another, are not satisfied with the situation they find here in Chicago. More strongly than ever Jim Farley insists that his name will go before the convention as a Presidential candidate. Likewise, lieutenants of Vice President John N. Garner are standing firm upon putting his name in nomination. Now Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana has announced that his name, too, will go before the convention, though earlier he had said that if the President was going to be a candidate he would not have his name presented. All this would disrupt the unity desired by the New

Also the hands of the conservative groups have been strengthened in their attempt to name a candidate favorable to them for Vice President. Jverything that the New Dealers are now suggesting to the Farleyites, revolving largely just now about the Vice Presidential candidate, is based on winning over Jim Farley, They are pressing the name of Secretary Cordell Hull for second place on the ticket with the idea that this would be pleasing to Mr. Farley. The two are fast friends,
Again, too, there is talk of renominating Vice President Garner, which would tend to placate both the Farley and Garner elements, though the word comes from the Hopkins group that the President will not stand for it. It certainly would be a last resort.
Jim Farley, visited by one emissary after another, sits and listens. His status has become so much the issue of the hour here that the lobbies buzz with betting on the issue.
“Will he or won't he?” is the question.
Jim airily waves his hand to questioners at his press conference with: “You'll know about that Saturday when the National Committee meets.” The suspicion is that his revenge is sweet,
