Opinion as to tho outcome of the difficulties wns divided. Some, how ever, held it was unlikely any group would decide definitely to bolt the party until they were convinced Baskob's plan would be made a plank at the national convention.

' While this was going on a truck carrying1 "canned" , muujc . awl speeches for Thompson moved Into . tho crowd in front of Ccrmak's meeting place. Within a few mo- j men to Cermak partisans ripped Thompson banners from, the side of tho vehicle and pushed it Into an other street. This Incident was taken goodnaturedly by both sides, however, and there was no disorder. If Thompson Is elected It will be his fourth term as mayor. He rode through a tornado of political fire works in the Feb. 24 primary with a plurality of 67,841 over Judge John H. Lyle, the self styled "gangster nemesis" and Alderman A. F. Al bert. Albert drew apprcftlmately 100, 000 votes. Opponents of Thompson argued that Albert's strength made Thompson! nomination possible. Cermak had no organized oppo sition In the primary.
