There are gaps and Kitlian told reporters at a news conference Wednesday. He said that under no circumstances would he run again for lieutenant governor and that he would decide in 30 or 40 days whether to challenge Mrs. Grasso for the party mary if necessary. Mrs. Grasso whose election in 1974 made her the nation's first woman to become governor without succeeding a husband -responded with terse statement: or that I am in this race to be intimidated." Killian, 58, sought the nomination in 1974 for a time but then agreed to run for lieutenant governor with Mrs.

Grasso at the head of the ticket. That compromise was forged with the help of then-party chairman John Bailey. Since then the ill-feelings between the two have been thinly veiled. Killian said he has been traveling around the state recently and has heard growing criticism of Mrs. Grasso and increasing encouragement for him to run.

"The people with whom I have spoken indicated that there was a lack of initiative, a lack of direction, an indecisiveness and a seeming inability always to make timely decisions when they should have been made," he said. "All of which indicates io me lhat there may be a very serious lack of leadership." Killian hedged asked what specific faults he found in Mrs. Grasso's performance, saying those would be made clear if and when he decided to challenge her. He did say she has become less and less accessible to the public. "It is not the kind of administration I would run, "he said.

Wednesday morning, Mrs. Grasso tried to persuade him to run again with her, Killian added. But he said he "felt wasted" as the second-in-command and that she excluded him from policy decisions. He also said he could foresee no circumstances under which he would support Gov. Grasso for re- nomination.

Observers at the Capitol could think of no other case in which a sitting governor was challenged for the nomination by a member of his or her party. A primary would be the first for the Democratic party since the primary law was passed in 1955. Killian, a lifelong Hartford resident, said he had been leaning toward returning to his private law practice until he made his rounds of the state's cities and towns. "And it was then that I detected an even 'deeper feelins that possibly I was running out on something had spent my life preparing for that is the business of politics and government," he said. .1 uai alien eiiuiuei period, against the officers and would be without merit directois of the two corpo- and that it would fail.
