The situation developed when a boomlet for Myles Lane, former U. S. Attorney and now a member of the bipartisan State Investigation Commission, was detected among some Democrats who have been beating the hills in search of a candidate.... Lane has a wing of the regular Democratic faction in his corner. Where Mayor Robert F. Wagner, who is now considered the party leader upstate and down, stands is not known.

An interesting trial balloon!
