DescriptionDemocratic leaders are shown meeting at the Statler Hilton Hotel in Hartford. In some photographs the men are seated at a dinner table with coffee cups, water glasses and napkins. A cigar is in an ashtray. In other photographs, men stand at a podium or microphone. A sign on the podium reads "STATLER HILTON." A display of oval photographic portraits of candidates has the heading "TOP TEAM." Portraits include Abe Ribicoff, John Dempsey, Samuel J. Tedesco, Ella Grassa, Gerald A. Lamb, Raymond Thatcher, Emilio Daddario, William St. Onge, Robert Giaimo, John S. Monaghan, Bernard F. Grabowski, Patrick J. Hogan, J. Edward Slavin, James McDermott, David DeRosier, and Joseph P.
