JELOME BAKR CONNECTICUT SOLID FOR COOLIDGE IN 1924 Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HARTFORD, Conn., October 27.— Two facts stand out in the political sit- uation in Connecticnt, one positive | and the other negative. The repub- | licans of the state will undoubtedly send a solid Coolldge delegation to the national convention, regardless of what other aspirants enter the fleld. The negative fact is that state democrats have no candidate for standard bearer, but have the open- mind attitude, being ready to support the candiducy of anybody who ap- pears to be the most available choice When the time Is ripe for selection. ‘While the feeling among Connectl- cut_republicans is decidedly friendly to President Coolidge, it is unques- tionably the sentiment in favor of standing by a New England candi- date. The happen.ng of the unexpect- ed, which gave New England its first President since the administration of Franklin Plerce of New Hampshire nearly seventy years ago. and which gave New England its first republican President, is sure to line up repub- licans for a continuance of residence of a New Englander in the White House. A New Englander never would have been President under normal circumstances, Connecticut re- publicans know, and they feel equally certain that Coolldge is to be the last of that line. y Pinchot Native Son.

But In spite of this organization, democrats here, who are all for Gov. Co Kk seriously how the McAdoo organization came to select an Ohio man, and one not generally known outside this state and without ex- perience, Rockwell has been very active in democratic state politics for twenty years, though he is yet comparatively young.

Both were on the stump In the Inter- ,ests of the democratic state ticket. jand their friends construed their presence here as being at ieast a | “feeler” for Kentucky sympathy, :f inot an actual bid for support. They were James Middleton Cox of ' Onlo, his party's sthndard bearer In 1920—and Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York. Cox undoubtedly has lost strensth. This happenvd when James B. Brown, the Louisville banker, became a dom- inant figure In his party this year. Brown was chairman of the capital issues committeeof the War Finance Board under President Wilson, a place to which he was appointed by Willlam Gibbs McAdoo. The dem- crats here never make a move witn- out consulting Mr. Brown. Hence Kentucky delegation may alwost cer- tainiy. at this time, be counted for McAdoo. Cox was alveys popular he however. Over on the other side of the fence, no other name besides President Cool- idge's is being mentioned above a | whisper. Ford Clubsx Formed. However, there is a large Ford noise here, as elsewhere. Clubs are being formed, but the organization appears to be nothing more than so- cial at this time. Another new face is to appear in the Kentucky congressional delexi- tion two years hence, when Ben John- son of the fourth district, long chair- man of the District of Columbia com- mittee, retires. He announced his in- tention to quit “two vears hence’ in a speech at Shepherdsville, introduc- ing one of his congressional col leagues, Willlam J.
