Gen. Robert K. Killian has had two major problems in this stirring race for the Democratic nomination for governor. The first is the repeated showing by Mrs. Grasso in the professional polls taken in the state in the last year or so.

His friends were in control of the party machinery. But the new Democratic town chairman, Nicholas R.

Carbone, has pushed aside Killian and his friends in his rise to power. Carbone has made his own statewide alliances and they are not with Killian. The big cities in Connecticut, with their large delegate blocs, control the Democratic party. Once the big cities line up in concert, as they have for Mrs. Grasso.

When the 42-foot craft arrived on a flatbed trailer Thursday morning, the Connecticut River had dropped at Gildersleeve making it questionable whether the crane could put the boat far enough out so that it would float.

Robert K. Killian in the Hartford Democratic Party primary Thursday. Mrs. Grasso now may have enough votes to win the Democratic endorsement for governor in July. Despite his loss in Hart-lord, his home town, Killian refused to give up his gubernatorial fight.

"We hav just begun to fight," he said. A slate of 70 Hartford state convention delegates supporting Mrs. Grasso for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination was elected in the primary by an unofficial margin of 9,181 to 7,559 over another 70-member slate pledged to Killian. The margin was 1.622. "This gives Mrs.

Grasso the nomination." exclaimed Town Chairman Nicholas R. Carbone when he heard the results. "To day Mrs. Grasso went to tha people," he said. "Tonight the people have spoken." Mrs.

Grasso, backed by the Democratic Town Committee, won 24 of the city's 32 voting districts in the eight-hour pri mary. Kam fell, sometimes heavily, during the first four hours of the primary. About 44 per cent of the city's 37,774 Democrats voted. Killian's main strength was in southwest section of the GrasstiTred ''ve'. M.rhs' where the Italian-Ameri- went to Mrs.
