Jilly 4—(CP)—Resentment at the stand taken by Prime Minister Mackenzie King on the possible establishment of flying schools for the Royal Air Force in Canada and speculation over the intentions of three men appeared uppermost in the minds of delegates to the National Conservative Convention tonight. ' Rumors flew thick and fast around the hotel lobbies concerning Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, and Hon. H. H. Stevens. The two former leaders and Prime Ministers had their followers who still hoped they would come into the leadership race at the last min- ute. Neither was available for comment but the best infor. mation which could be obtained from their friends was that they were determined to“ leave the field clear for new talent.
