News of the World By' Associated Prm’ ESTABLISHED 1870 DUTTON WILL NoT COME T0 OUTING Fears Attendance at Democratic Function Might Be Miconstrued I§ FOR PARTY HARMONY Democrats Can Win This Time, He Says, But Only When Entire Dis- trict Stands Solidly Behind Con- vention's Cholce, Fearing that his presence at the Hardware City Democratic club out- ing at McMahon's grove, August 6, might be construed as a political move, ex-Mayor Joseph Dutton, of Bristol, called at the Herald office this afternoon to state that he had recon- sidered and would not attend the function. Might Have Spoken It was announced several days ago that Dutton, together with Augustine Lonergan and several other aspirants for office were to be invited to the outing at which Thomas J. Spellacy and David A. Fitzgerald, candidates for senator and governor, respectively, were to be the speakers. In view of ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran's can- didacy for the congressional nomina- tion, also sought by Bristol's ex- Mayor Dutton, it was considered un- usual that the out of town man was asked to come here. It is generally expected that not only will Fitzgerald and Spellacy speak, but that all other candidates for office will be called upon, at least for a few impromptu remarks. This is the plan of a num- ber of club members who feel that fuch a course is in keeping with or- dinary courtesy. In some circles there was openly expressed wonder- ment as to how the club's action in inviting ex-Mayor Dutton could be made consistent with its previous en- dorsement of ex-Mayor Halloran's candidacy. Averts Possible Break Appreciating that his presence might be the signal for a party break of more or less consequence, and in the interests of party harmony, the Bristol man announced his decision to remain away, he explains. Ex- Mayor Dutton feels that the first dis- trict democrats should experience lit- tle difficulty in electing the man of their choice; and he appears brimful of confidence that he will be nomin- ated. Two years ago he accepted the nomination, leading what was recog- nized to be a forlorn hope and his {riends are desirous that his faithful- ness 'to the party be rewarded now, he says. Dutton Explains The Bristol candidate read of the coming outing several waaks ago, he says. Feeling that it was in the form of a get-together for members of the party, he purchased a ticket with the idea of attending. He asserts that he did so, not with the intention of at- tempting to win over delegates from New Britain, From the time of Hal- loran'.s announcement, Dutton has made no effort to secure a delegate in the Hardware city, although, as he explains it, he would be glad of sup- port here equally as much as else- where, Discussing the situation, ex-Mayor Dutton had the following to say: “l was born into the democratic party long enough ago to realize that we democrats are good scrap A s among ourselves. If we would only get together and put up the same kind of a fight against our opponents, we would make our republican friends look sick on election day. Would Be Good Loser “8ince it is evident that my pres- . ence at the outing would be miscon- strued, T have decided to remain away. I still believe that I would be ‘welcome and that my friend, Mr. Hal- loran would be one of the first to welcome me. If the congressional convention selects Mr. Halloran or anyone else in preference to me, 1 shall loyally support him; if I am suc- cessful, T am confident .that I will have equally loyal support. “I have many friends in New Brit- ain, and I don't intend . that our friendship shall be marred by matters political. When the smoke of this little pre-convention battle clears, I hope to be able to see friendly faces smiling from this city. “I hope the outing will be a bhig success and the gathering edified by the remarks of the several speakers.” VARDAMAN REPLIES TO WILSON’S CHARGES Mississippi Candidate for Senate, in 1200 Word Statement, Says No Advice Is Needed By Voters, 2 Jackson, Miss., July by criticism of his candidacy for the U. 8. senate contained in a letter of former President Wilson former Sen- ator James K. Vardaman issued a 1200 word statement today in which he daid he did not believe Mississip- | plans need tc be told by Mr. Wilson for whom they shall vote. Mr. Wilson's letter contains the as- sertion that he thought that it would be a great detriment to Miss- iesippl if he (Vardaman) were re- turned to the senate.” The former senator said: “I can only assume that his oppo- sition is for the same reason that he opposed me in 1918. He then said in discussing the question that he would be obliged to accept my election ‘as a condemnation of my (his) administration. Mr. Vardaman said Mr. Wilson's opposition is founded upon the fact that “T performed my duties as sen- ator with the intention of pleasing end serving the white people of Miss- issippl and not please or flatter the occupants of the White House. 7.—Aroused | NEW BRITAIN HERALD - NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1922 Street Car Strike In Chicago Tuesday —— Chicago, July 27.—~Warning | to Chicago to prepare for a | street car strike next Tuesday | morning, was {ssued by Willlam | Quinlan, president of the sur- ‘ face lines union, “There will not he a surface llne car operating Tuesday morning,” he said. GOVERNOR LAKETO WORK WITH HOOVER Promises to Co-operate in Getting Goal Distributed BAS THO MEN IN MIND Declines to Say Whom He Will Ap- Announce- point. But Will Make ment After He Has Consulted With Prospective Aldes. Hartford, July 27.—Governor Ever- ett J. Lake said today that he had received a telegram from Chairman Hoover of the United States govern- ment coal control committee asking the co-operation of the state govern- ment in arranging for the equitable distribution of coal in Connecticut. At noon the governor authorized the fol- lowing statement: “The governor will do all in his power to assist the federal govern- ment in obtaining equitable distribu- tion of coal in the state.” Has Two In Mind. The governor stated that he was awaiting conferences with two men and could make no further statement until after those conferences. He de- clined to name the men he had in mind and stated that he did not know Jjust when the conferences would take place. Although no specific request to that effect had been received it is under- stood that this may lead to the ap- pointment of committees similar to those which were In operation during the war.

NEW YORK POLITICAL MUDDLE MORE MUDDLED New Political Party Ap- pears to Oust Both Tam- many and G. O. P. am New York, July 27.—A new stand- ard has been raised in the pre-elec- tion skirmish, it became known today when a group of New York's “Neo-| modernists'’ expressed their intention of attempting to put a business man “immune from political influence” in the governor's chair. This much was revealed in a state- ment issued after a meeting of the group. The rest is a secret but indi- cations are that the purpose is noth- ing short of coup to tie literary knots in the tail of the Tammany tiger and haul the G. O. P. elephant from the boards in the coming gubernatorial election. The regulation of the board of elec- tlons which requires a formal an- nouncement of an intentién to hold a convention for the choosing of an in- dependent candidate for state office was one of the reasons revealed of the group's plans. ““The committee includes Chester Aldrich, Tom B. Clarke, Jr., George Chappell, writer; Frank Craven, act- or; Fred Crowinshield, editor; Elsie Ferguson, actress; Ruth Hale, Wal- lace Irwin, writer; Harris Linderbe Kenneth Murchison, Mary Nash, acf ress; George Palmer Putnam, pub- lisher; Edward Streeter, writer; Charles Hanson Town, critic; H.

NO OVERTIME PAY, IS RULING BY PAONESSA Mayor Turns Down Bill Submitted for Clerks in Office of Collector Pointing out that there is a city ordinance which provides a certain salary for the positions and that there should be no pay for overtime work, Mayor A. M. Paonessa has declined to honor a bill submitted by Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis for $76 for extra work done in his office by the Misses Mae Stauffer and Dorothy Loomis, stenographers. The mayor has provided, however, that Miss Loomis be given 361 for services rendered in the office in con- nection with the collection of personal taxes, that amount representing the difference between what has already been given her in payment for work on a half-day basis, and the amount decided upon as adequate compensa- tion for a fuli day's work for tle past six weeks. Miss I.oomis has been employed at the office on a part time basis for several months. For the last two months she has been working all day, most of her duties’| being in connection with personal tax coliections recently assumed by Mr, Loomis. It was understood that the collector could have extra help during the busy season and the payments to Miss Loomis are in the form of al- lowance for such a condition, Mies Stauffer recefves no remuneration for the extra work and the money paid the other stenographer is zivan with the express understanding that it is no: for overtime work. The original bill of $76 rapresented overtime flgured by Mr. Looinis for the two stenographers for four wecks. The order approved by the mayor provides payment for Miss Il.oomis, only, for a six-weeks' period. After one more week, Mayor Pao- nessa feels that the busy season will be at an end and he will require a return to the former pay roll. A petition is now pending for 8ann in- creages in salary for Misses Stauffer and Loomis.
