Their stirring clash over the Haupt mann case promises not to be the last. Friends say Governor sloffman, a Republican, possesses presidential ambitions and he l<y»pts to enter the White House through the United States senate. And associates of Attorney General Wilentz, who is a Democrat, say he also is a senate aspirant, although he is barred by birth abroad from the presidency. As long as both live, they probably will remain political rivals —although each professes personal friendship for the other.
