The general impression in New Brit- fiin today is that the city - election tomorrow will be & close one on the mayoralty. There are men who are willing to make wagers that Mayor Halloran will be reelected and there fage others who have made bets on many seriously, but the great surprise | 1s how any one escaped. There are more reasons why a train may become’derailed than that the tiés should be rotten, but men who, out of curiosity, watched the clearing away of the’'debris and the repairing of the track yesterday, expressed sur- prise at the condition of some of the tles apd this has led to the belief that this caused the rails to spread. The accident occurred on a straight stretch of track and what appeared to be on the best part of the road. Another derailment occurred near New York on the same Ilne yesterday morning and though no one was hurt it seems strange that in such a wreck all should have escaped. The reason for the derailment there has not been explained but it may have been caused in the same way as the one at Clayton the day before. It looks as if it may yet be neces- sary to have the whole roadbed care- fully inspected. The repalr work has evidently been somewhat neglect- ed during the last few years and as a result accidents have become fre- quent, in fact too frequent.

" The republicans are claiming a party majority of over a thousand land they are appealing to it to come out and support the party’s candidate for mayor. Some will do it, they have agreed to do so, but there is no doubt but that Mr. Quigley will be ¢ut, buz how mucH no one can tell iind for that reason no one can pre- digt how the-contest will'end. Mayor, Halloran will rveceive a number of epublican votes, there is no doubt lof it, but whether he will receive enough to offset the big republican imajority is a question no ‘one -can answer. Mr. Quigley expects: many emocratic votes, he says %o and his riends are repeating it and this ends - to' further complicate the sit- ation. , Just why the democrats are expect- d to vote for Mr. Quigley has Inot been . explajined, except on the ound that he i1s- & workingman's ndidate. That, however, cannot e very sound reasoning because the democratic candidate .for mayor -is gt as much of a working man as [the republican candidate and when fted down the question of suprem- cy resolves’ itself into one of guess work and pure speculation. The fact that Mayor Halloran has en in: office for four years, made good record, and that. there .is se’ much independent.voting done in ‘o= leal elections gives him a goéd chafice to win, in fact a better chance than ‘does Mr. Quigley. There does not appear to be any interest in the ticket below . that of mayor. REGISTRAR SCHEUY'S COONTEN- TION. temmr Scheuy added a little in- €st to the campaign today by call- [ attention to, a law passed - last 8T under which, he says, he can hold fice until next January. - This act Iprovides by amending the public acts n{ # The four gunmen convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal electrocuted this morning in Sing prison despite the most = deter- mined efforts to save them. They died much the same as other mur- derers have died; they had the at- tention of clergymen and they were keyed up for the terrible ordeal, but they trembled dndslost color ‘as: all others have . béfore thneni' and were put to death as quickly as electricity could do it. There was a great deal of talk of a confession but none was made and’ the'men carried their se- cret to the grave, Some sald they A4id not shoot Rosenthal and that was undoubtedly true because it was-never dlaimed that all fired shots but there was scarcely any question but that all were connected with the crime. There is no doubt of that now. ° The gunmen talked .a great deal about their innocence but when it ‘came time to die they were silent and the public can rest reasonably satis- fled that the law claimed the right men. They were a bad lot, they made crime a business and have paid for it with their lves. The story - of - their last hours shows that they embraced re- ligion and died believing in a God and a hereafter. They made a stir in this section of the country at least and the events leading up to thelr ex- ecution 'has created as.great deat jof interest. Those who have gtarted on the same road - they trod-during their short lives or who: have beeh leading the same sort of a career will do well to read of their final day on ea.rth. It may cause them to' do some serious thinking. The evidence is there to prove as completely as anything can be proven that a bad life is apt to close with suffering, sorrow. and ignomny and that he who would' avoid such an end must be honest and manly and keep clear of evil companions and places where they gather., were Sing 1903, 1906 and 1907 the Tegls- rars elected in Hartford, New Brit- jpin and Norwioh, the latter In 1918 ingd the others in 1914, shall not take flice until the January suoceeding their election, and that as a result jMr. Scheuy will-oontinue in office until pext January, . There is nmenfly some doubdt as 0 whether ‘this law applies to New Firitain under its present charter. In 1903 and 1906 New Britam had two governments, the registrars were elect- ed in October and the law was evi- tly intended to have the registrars ected at that time begin work in the following January, and was never .tended to apply to officlals eleated under a special charter in,April. The case is one which will have to be sed on by the corparation coun- 5 particularly as the ‘act, according to the interpretation of Mr. Schuey, vould mean almost & year's salary for Ihim and just that much delay for the ew registrar. The average layman cannot under- stand, for instance, how the legislature an grant New Britain a charter to tiransact public business, elect its officers and a few years later, without wer notifying this city, pass another affecting its charter rights, expect it to stand as an ¢t to be observed by New |Eritain when the latter's char- “rights have never been repealed, nid yet that is the meaning of the im of Mr. Scheuy. It looks as if e latter's Jnterpretation of the law fuay not bef the one to be observed in is city. R ® " RAILROAD WRECKS. ‘The New Haven road is surely in d luck. The wreck mnear Clay- .

The Summer Capital. (Barre, Vt., Times.) Cornish-Windsor need not fear greatly over rumors that President, Wilson and family -will spend the summer at Willlamstown, Mass., when Cornish-Windsor have so many advantages. It is reported that one reason why Wilson might select Wil-- llamstown is the accessibility of the town; but that, to our mind, is one of the disadvantages of the place for a vacation and for the seclusion which the president and members of his family seek after being so con- stantly in the public eye during most months of the year. The ideal place is a summer home where the hordes of people cannot go with ease and where the executlve and his family can be comparatively free from the prying eyes of the curious and from the importuning of prospective office-- holders. Cornish-Windsor, with the Churchill residence removed some distance from the rallroad line and set back from main highways offers the opportunity for rest, seclusion and recreation which a man like ! President Wilson needs. Therefore, ho | 1s likely again to take advantage of the fine accommodations at the | Churchill country place back from | the Connecticut river. ‘Why She Didn’t Recognize Him. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) The reason that this story appeals to us is that the man whom the joke was on—or, if you purists like the circumlocution better, we’ll put it “tHe man upon whom the joke was" —well, anyhow, the goat told it him- self. This fellow met a girl on the street one day last week and bowed to her politely. She didn't even look at him. But he wasn’t squelched —he knew that she didn’'t recognize him and let it go at that. An hour later he met her again. Same busi- Two nights after that, he met this same girl at a dancing party. “I didn’t know whether you would know me,” he sald, starting the conversa- tion. *“I saw yqu on the street the other day, and you failed to recog- nize me.” “Why,” exclaimed: the girl, strange. you.” “But I saw you twice,” the fatuous youth. “That explains it.

A New Haven hotel clerk who re- cently fell heir to a amall fortune has | fled from the city and will devote his time to opérating a hennery in the wilds of Hamden. When eggs are re- tafling at sixty cents a dozen next winter, he probably can find some consolation for the tangoing that he has missed in the city.—Bridgeport Standard.

They are now talking of trotting out Judge John P. Studley to run upon the republican ticket as candi- date for sheriff of New Haven county. After the sorry showing of the judge as a candidate for governor it looks as though his strength was not heavy. Still, he can hardly be blamed for his run in 1912, The republican machine wanted. to make it easy for Baldwin to win and they put up a candidate with no corporations Tost. desired. — Bridgeport The controller's figures show that New Haven's present net bonded debt is $4,047,645.80. This year we shall retire bonds to the amount of $133,- 000; we are about to issue new bonds of $860,000. This will make our net debt at the end of this year $4,149,- strength as the | 646.80, which is nearly three millions short of the five per cent. of the grand list, which the bonding clause of the home rule act permits. As our grand list is increasing at about $5,- 000,000 a year, we should be able to keep within the restriction. Our nec- essary expenses grow, but it is desir- able to be conservative in bonding.— New Haven Register.
