P. NOMINATION Republican Eaucus Will Be Held Friday Evening R-0. CLARK MAY RUN Friends of Various Candidates Work- ing Hard For Their Interests—Pro- gressives May Decide—Goodrich Is Postmaster—Briefs, The republican caucus for the pur- pose of nominating town officers will be held in hall Friday ming at 8 o'clock, according to post- ers, which have been placed in vari- ous parts of the town. With the cau- cus so near at hand, many conjectures ar® being made by members of the G. O. P. party as to who is most fitted to be chosen for the offices. Although there was a rumor recently that Flrst Selectman Willlam H. Gibney would not again be a candidate for that posi- tion, nevertheless it is said his many friends are still trylng to have him meke a declaration. If he should not run, or if he does a sharp contest for the position is sure to result, if stor- fes prevalent about town are authent- fc. That Judge Willard I. Alling of Kensington is the man for the p Is the bellef of* his many friends and It is said they are leaving no stone un- turned in the way of putting forth the attainments of their choice. .George Carter also has many friends who are anxious to see him hold the office, it is said. It Is.certain that Mr. Carter, if he should allow his name to go before the caucus will poll many votes. It is the belief of many Kensington voters that if First Selectman Gibney fails to run again, thé* office should be held by a Kens- Ingtonite and if such is the case, then It {s certain that Judge Alling’s name wil bring forth many votes. The po- litical fever working in FEast Berlin. It contended by many prominent citizens of that district that It should have position and it became known this morning that a move is on foot to have R. O. Clark nominated Friday evening, Mr. Clark is one of the most popular residents of the district and his friends are legion. They ad- vance the argument that their section has not had a holder of the office and they feel Mr. Clark wouid make an ldeal man for the place. He has al- ways been Interested In the public af- fairs of his nelghborhood and has contributed liberally to them. Prom present indications, 1t seems s though many ballots will be neces- sary Friday evening to pick the nom- Ine@ of the republican party. The suc- cessful candidate must have a major- Ity over all and at least, one candi- date will have to withdraw, is the be- lief of one who has studled local con- ditlons for some years. Judge Alling will no doubt obtain many of Kensing- ton’s ballots and Mr. Clark, those of East Berlln. Mr. Carter's chances are loqked on as excellent by Berlin peo- le. But—and here's the rub—if Wil- m H. Gibney's frlends prevail upon the town eve- 1s also | i him to run, the aspect looks ent! different. Many residents of the Ber- lin district swear by him and he has no few followers in the other districts. His friends assert he will receive a majority on the first ballot but wheth- er enough to secure the nomination is uncertain. The Progressive Vote. In case these four mentioned run for the nomination, it i§ possible the whole issue will be decided by the pro- gressive vote. Although the follow ers of the American citizen have not been very prominent in local | affairs, it is felt they will be so this vear. When Roosevelt ran in 1912, ho coralled no lcss than 100 votes in this town. Most of these were garnered from the republican party and if they come back to the republican Friday evening. the man winning their votes will have an excellent chance for the nomination. Recelves Commission. A. B. Goodrich of Worthington Ridge received his commission from Postmaster General Burleson last eve- ning as postmaster i{n the Berlin office for four year commencing August 8. The commission was signed on that date by President Wilson. Mr. Good- rich was in the office ths moérning go- ing over the detalls with the retiring holder, H. L. Porter. Postmaster Goodrich said he will take a couple of days famillarizing himself with the conditions and will assume tho office Thursday morning. He will appoint Mrs. Goodrich as his assistant On Thursday Mr. Porter will have completed thirty years of postmaster- ship of the Berlin office. He was first appointed in 1880 and held the posi- tion for thirteen years. Mr. Goodrich, who then conducted the store now oc- cupled by James Woodruff, was ap- pointed by President Cleveland. In 1895, he sold the store and at the same time resigned as postmaster, being succeeded by Seth Strickland, who held it until 1899, when Mr. Por- ter was again chosen. Mr. Porter said this morning he has no immedi- ate plans but will take a rest. Dehowray-Trehy. John Aloysius DeLowray and Miss Helen Regine Trehy, both of Kensing- ton, were married this morning at 6:45 o’clock at St. Paul's church by Rev. J. C. Brennan, the pastor. er Brennan celebrated a nuptial high mass. The wedding was quiet, only relatives and a few friends being pres- ent. The couple were attended by M Madeline DeLowray, a sister of bridegroom and John Trehy, brother of the bride The bride was handsomely attired in a gown of blue taffeta. She wore & hat to match and carried a prayer book. The bridesmald wore blue char- meuse and a hat to match and carried a prayer book. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. DeLowray left on a honeymoon trip, the destination of which was not revealed. They will restde In‘ Kensington. The State Convention. Dr. R. M. Griswold and Louls G. Anderson, whio were chosen delegates at the recent caucus, left this after- noon at 8 o'clock for New Haven where they will attend the state con- vention. As the caucus instructed the dclegates for Governor Hbolcomb, they will vote accordingly. Interviewed this morning, Dr. Griswold sald he has great hopes that Governor Holcomb will be nominated on the first ballot. In case Governor Holcomb begins to show weakness and it becomes probable his nomination cannot be secured, Dr. Griswold ~aid that while he has as yet made no def- inite selection, he will not in any case cast his ballot for Blakeslee, whose fola by | ely ) candidacy it is said, received a boom within the past weck. icfs, Louis Edelson is the guest daughter in Baltimore.

LEOPOLD NOT WORRYING Von Hindenburg’s Successor Declares of his resterday enlisted navy. for for S Jotin Higl A. and Moore Day Lalce, Hills has Rumanians “Will Get Whacked” for Entering War on Side of Allies. Headquarters of the Commander in Chief of the German Armies in the East, Monday, Sept. 4, via Ber- 1in, Sept. 4, and London, Sept. b, 12:35 p. m.—How little Rumania’s entrance in the war worries those in command of the German castern armies was in- dicated today when Prince Leopold of Bavaria said to The Assoclated Press correspondent: “The Rumanians have placed themselves in a very bad posi- tion. They will get their whacks, you may be sure. and If others come in they will get their whacks, too.” These words of the prince were in reply to a question regarding the pos- sible or probable effect of Rumania's declaration of war. In replying Prince Leopold dropped the friendly and almost benign atti- tude he had displayed throughout the interview—the first granted to a cor- respondent since his promotion to the command formerly held by Field Mar- shal Von Hindenburg. His eyes snapped almost angrily, his voice be- came hard and sharp. In a moment, however, he dropped this topie and re- turned to questioning his visitors Tath- about the trip they had just complet- ed along the Russo-German front in the neighborhood of Baranovichi, ad- mittedly one of the most important strategic points in relation to past as well as future offensives, The prince’s expression of complete confldence that Rumanta would be de- feated was in the nature of a climax to countless declarations of helief from other officers that Russia would never be able to effect any important break In the German lines. The correspon- dent was permitted to make an ex- haustive inspection of miles of trenches which are more llke fort- resses than anything else. They sur- pass any other fortifications, the cor- respondent had seen during many trips to the eastern and western fronts. & PRILADELPHIA £ DENTAL ROOMS 193 Main Street Over 23c Store BEST WORK AT MODERATE PRICES Ofice Open from 8 A, M, to 8 P, M.

S 4 certain as the money was taken from | a hiding place which he had used for vears and which was supposed to be known only to the immediate mem- bers of the family. The theft was apparently mitted early in the evening while Mr, Faton was downtown and the other members of the family were at whist party. Entrance was galned through a side door which could not be locked because the wood had been swollen by dampness. For some timo this door has been held sccure by a chair placed on the inside bencath the knob. It was fastened in this fashion Saturday night when the Eatons left home Scemingly the thief shook the door until the chair | was jarred away, permitting his en- trance. Except for the cash not a thing disturbed and the con- ditions when the Batons returned made appear that after his en- | trance the crook Immediately went to the place where the money was kept, departing as soon as he se- cured It. Another bit of evidence pointing to the famillarity of the visitor with Mr practice lie: the fact that at te Baton gzrain mill ove nisht Dt owner’s nephew, J altield on AY B aton had taken it to his own house, hiding It until he had an opportunity to make a deposit in the banlk. | Saturday night’s occurrence marks the second time within a year that Mr, | Faton was made the victim of a rob- | bery. Several months ago a conslder- able amount was taken from the office of his grain mill. The money was not recovered and the thlef made a cuccessful getaway. Another similar theft which ocontinues shrowded |n’ mystery took place recently when the | roctory of the Church of Our Lady of | Mercy was entered and over $100 in cash taken from Rev. W. P. Kil- coyne’s trunk. All three Tobberles looked like the work of local talent and there is reason to belleve that in each case the | crook had knowledge of the layout of | the scene of operations before tackling the job, Mr, Eaton Is naturally wrought up over the latest raid upon his treasury and he is hopeful that the thief’s cap- ture will be effected. Other business 1hen are dlsturbed over the success of the sneak and they will feel greatly relleved when he is behind the bars. Tag Day Nets $45. Approximately $45 was Tetted from the activities of the ‘“taggers’” who worked yesterday in the interests of the Plainville Young Men’s club and men interested in the organiza- tion were well pleased this morning with the results of the scheme.

Calor indicated that the patient was at least holding his own this morning. Dr. C. W. Moody, the attending physician, advised that the boy’s condition seemed to be more fa- vorable than at any time since he was stricken. Owing to the inability of doctors to treat the disease with any assurance of success, the physicians who have worked on the Zabel case admit that they cannot tell what the | outcome is lable to be although there | does not appear to be any prospect of the boy’s restoration to health. The youngster remains in a state of coma. He is paralyzed 'from the hips up and is practically unconscious. His throat, however, is now in shape | ov More Favorable. ment. The Calor home will be under quar- antine as long as there is any danger of spreading the disease and the doc- tors continue hopeful that others will | not contract the malady.

The infantile paralysis scare kept the at- tendance down to some extent as it was feared that the grounds might be placed under quarantine. The Sunday sessions nevertheless drew large orowds and ghe results were most sat- isfactory. Accounts in Good Shape.
