THE POST-STANDARD 10 April 1,1970 Democrats rour Candidates LIBERTY, N.Y. (UPI) -The 345-member Democratic state committee gathered amid confusion and dissension Tuesday to select party candidates for the June 23 primary, About the only certainty at the committee meeting was that Arthur J. Goldberg would be designated the Democratic gubernatorial candidate and four- term Comptroller Arthur Levitt would be nominated by acclamation. Everything else at the posh Grossinger's resort hotel in the Catskills was in confusion as more than 1,200 Democrats, newsmen and the curious tried to crowd into accommodations The Goldberg camp seemed so certain of victory that it did not bother to distribute cam- for 1,000. paign literature or plaster posters on the hotel walls.

The other candidates, however, went through the same political ritual that characterized the hoopla at state conventions before the direct primary law was passed two years ago. 'convention-eve poll taken by three of Goldberg's fellow gubernatorial contenders showed the front runner with 42.4 per cent of the delegate vote. Symbolic of the confusion was the voting system the committee members will use Wednesday in selecting their candidates. The 345 members will cast 2,980,000 votes each committeeman according to the number of votes the Democratic gubernatorial candidate received in his Assembly, district in 1966. On the eve of the convention, the nominations lined up likei this: i Governor Goldberg may bei the only contender to receive 1 the 25 per cent vote needed to get on the primary ballot and should easily get the 51 per cent to win the party designation.

Eugene Nickersbn, the New Democratic Coalition's candidate, has about 20 per cent and businessman Howard Samuels, about 10 per cent. Former Kennedy aide 'William vanden Heuvel and Queens Dist. Atty. Thomas Mackell will have to circulate petitions around the state if they want to get on the ballot. The sixth, contender, Deputy Mayor Robert M.

Morgen- thau of New York, is going directly to the petition procedure and has boycotted the Senator A close race for the seat once held by the late Robert F. Kennedy. Former Kennedy aide Theodore C. Sorensen' has an edge on Paul O'Dwyer, the party's 1968 Senate nominee, and Rep. Richard D.

McCarthy of Buffalo. Rep. Richard L. Ottinger will probably have to circulate petitions since the Democrats are not likely to pick a third Jewish candidate on a ticket already including Goldberg and Levitt. The final senatorial contender, Morris B.

Abram, may not have lived in the state long enough to be, eligible. Lieutenant Governor Goldberg has reportedly decided to accept State Sen. Basil A. Paterson of Harlem as his running mate because of pressure from black Democrats. There is still a strong drive, however, by the numerous one-time Kennedy associates here to gain the nod for vanden Heuvel, who would drop down from the governor's race.

Attorney General --Adam Walinsky, the strongest candidate, also is Jewish and faces the ethnic problem. Mackell and-or vanden Heuvel may drop in on this race. There are several other candidates with little visible support. Comptroller Levitt, the party's biggest vote getter, has held the office for four terms and is unopposed.
