Judge Griswold was interviewed this morn- ing and-said that in no sense was ne an avowed candidate for the place but if his name was presented at the taucus, he would probably’ do nothing against the wishes of his friends.

Whitman intervenes, Bambrick has had two reprieves, obtained on representations that he had newly discovered evidence which | would prove his innocence, but Supreme Court Justice Weeks decided late yesterday that this evidence was insufficient to cause a new trial. Bam- brick then was taken back to Sing Sing. Bambrick’s chief witness yvesterday was Mrs. Anna Sylvander of 86 Park avenue, Buttenburg, N, J. An affidavit alleged to have been signed by her had been presented in Bambrick's behalf. It stated that she had seen Dapping killed that Bambrick was at her table and had not done the | shooting.

Mgnufacturing company today, an- ndMincement having been made of the résignation of George R. Hebden, | mechanical superintendent for a num- ber ofs years, and the selection of A. K. Sutherland as his successor. The change created considerable talk around town contemplated severing his relations with the company. Mr. Sutherland, the new head of the mechanical branch of the busi- ness, has had charge of the machine room for some time and his promo- tion attests to the value placed on his services by officers of the com- pany. His place as foreman of the machine room will be taked by C. A. Ahlstrom. \ Mr. Hebden will leave Plainville about November 1 for East Pittsburgh where he has accepted a responsible ppositon with the Westinghouse Elec- tric company. He is to have charge of one of the departments in the plant. Mr. Hebden has been an em- ploye of the Trumbull company for eleven years, takng a place in the factory three years after the com- pany was organized and at a time when the plant was but a small wooden structure and the business was but in its infancy. He has been an important cog in the wheels which revolved towards the success of the firm and he has served in positions of responsibility for a num- ber of years. He proposes to move his family to his new location next month. Mr. Hebden has been identifled with political and civic matters for a num- ber of years. He has also been prom- inent in masonic activities and at the present time is serving as master of Frederick lodge, A. F. and A.

There has been some talk of a settlement of the disagreement over is understood that efforts in this dir- ection will be made before December. School Rooms Crowded. Crowded conditions, been found to exist in the various grades in the local schools, are causing the principal and members of the school board considerable worr necessary to put more pupils in a single room than one teacher ordin- arily is expected to look after and all the available space is now in use. Because of the large registration in the kindergarten it is necessary to have two sessions daily for the little children. The town and it is apparent that during the year the enrollment will show an in- crease making the problem even more difficult of solution. Members of the school mit that there is little prospect of getting a new building or an addition to one of the structures, now in use, this year but they believe that in 1917 the matter of school accommo- dations will be a question which the voters will have to answer. The erection of a new building in the eastern section of the town is ltable to be the solution although the usual oppostion to such a plan is ex- pected to develop. The town is grow- ing towards the east and the need of a school plant In the vicinity of East street is becoming more daily. 01d Resident Loses Finger. Patrick Welch of Bast Main street, an old resident, suffered the loss of the first finger on his left hand this morning.

IS BRITAIN'S GR Gonfident of Victory But N More Recruits London, Oct. 5.—Gen. Sir Will Robertson, chief of the British iy perial staff at army headquarters sa yesterday in a speech at BalderH Lincolnshire, that, while the all were winning the war slowly b surely, he wished to impress up his hearers the necessity of procuri more men for the army and mu tions factories. In this connection, said, he had a serious word of war] ng to give. “We are not justified expeoting to win the war,” he sa ‘“unless the service of every man a woman in the country is utilized the fullest extent.” “We must be under no delusion he continued, “‘as to the end or pro| able duration of this great strugg We must be prepared to continue f} a time which cannot at present estimated. In fact we must be pr pared for the worst while we ho for the best. We have adopted theory the principle of national vice. We must see that we put into practice because we want mo men, and we want them now, ai | eventually we shall want all who o be spared.” Great Britain is in urgent need men for her armies and also for hj munitions factorles, according to statement to this effect given o by the man power distribution boa: recently appointed to comb out m eligible for military service in t United Kingdom who have not been enroled in the army.
