Casey ot Scranton today had the backing of 11 Northeast Pennsylvania Democratic chairmen in his unannounced race for the Democratic nomination for governor. Senator Casey was given the endorsement here last night at a gathering of party officials. In a statement, the chairmen predicted that Senator Casey could unite the party and would create an linage similar to that of the late President Kennedy. The chairmen who voted to back Senator Casey were from Bradford, Lackawanna, Sullivan, Wayne, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Luzerne, Carbon, Monroe, Northampton and Pike counties. Senator Casey is expected to announce his candidacy within two weeks.

A source close to Mr. Casey said former Gov. George M. Leader had told the senator he will not seek the endorsement when the Democratic State Policy Committee meets at a date yet to be set. The Casey endorsement came the same day that Republican leaders came out for Lt Gov.

Raymond P. Shafer for their gubernatorial nomination. In case Democratic leaders cannot agree upon a candidate to oppose Mr. Shafer, there is a chance that former Gov. David L.

Lawrence might be persuaded to run for another term. Mayor Joseph M. Barr, of Pittsburgh, longtime right-hand man of Mr. Lawrence, has been considered a strong possibility. However, Democrats, at least in Harrisburg, feel he might not be physically able to put on the kind of rough-and-tumble campaign that's going to be needed this year.
