Henry, According to his Supporters Although Three-Fourths of Delegates Are Uninstruct- ‘ ed, Enough Are Pledged to Make Result Certain, They Say. RORABACK CONFIDENT. Mr. Roraback in an interview today said that he felt confident that he had 23 out of the 35 committeemen, and as to the state ‘convention delegates he felt that “he was in the hands of his friends.” New. Haven, Aug. 30. — Political prophets in Connecticut today differed in their analysis of the results of the republican caucuses held in practical- ly all of the 169 towns last nif®it at which delegates were chosen to the state, senatorial, congressional, coun- ty and probate conventions. The trend of opinion was that in the fac- tional ‘contest between the forces headed by J. Henry Roraback, the presént state chairman and those al- luded to as the Ullman-King-Healy ‘ eombination, the former won. The prize {a the chairmanship of the state committee which is usually decided by vote at the organization meeting of | the new committee at the close of the state convention. All delegates are familiar with the announcement: ‘‘Members of the new state central committee will meet on the stage at the close of the convention.” Caucuses Show Trend Members of the state central com- mittee are chosen at the senatorial conventions and the district chofce is ratified by fhe state convention, as a rule, the reading of the list of new members ‘when organization of the convention is made permanent being the meéthod followed. Caucuses gen- erally serve to determine the probable ecomplexion of the new committee when a contest is being waged. Last night, in fully three-fourths of the towns, there were no instruc- tions to delegates and no indication how they will stand on any of the contests which may develop in the state convention. There were in some 80 towns well drawn lines on the chairmanship issue. Based on results in these towns supporters of .Mr Roraback this morning claimed that he probably will have control of at (Continued on Page: Fourteen). KING IS SILENT NOW BUT MAY TALK LATER ‘Aspirant for Roraback’s Toga Pins Hopes on 25th District Bridgeport, Aug. 30.—John T. King today declined to be interviewed on the result of the republican caucuses. He might have something to say later. The city convention will be held tomorrow night. The King men say they carried Fairfield and Monroe last night which would give®” them a fighting chance to win in the 25ta district. The first report was that the Monroe delegates were unpledgeld. The senatorial convention for nom- {nation of a senator is expected to be an interesting one, as Harry Sher- mwood, representative from Westport, was beaten in the senatorial delega- tion contest last night by former State Senator F. M. Salmon. J. H. Hfil of Shelton is expected to be a candidate for senator in the 25th district against Bherwood who has been in the house four sessions. re- that Willimantic, Aug. 30.—Caucus sults in Windham county show there has been no pledging of dele- gates on the question of the state committee chairmanship. In Tolland county, although there woere no in- structions given, delegates expect lo have to choose between at least three candidates for the 35th district seat in the committee John Buckley of Union, Dennison Talcott of Vernon and Captaln Allen of Rockville. There i8 no indication of how the delegates will stand on the chairmanship. BAD FIRE IN ANSONIA Paint Shop and Garage Gutted and Two Automobiles Demolished in Blaze Early This Morning. Ansonia, Aug. 30.—Fire which gut- ted the paint shop and garage of Frank Blusche on Nichols street early this morning destroyed two automo- biles and caused a total dagnage of $10,000. The blaze spread to the garage of Thomas Coleman adjoining and endangered Wilhelmy's bakery on Hull street. The origin of the fire is unknown, NEW QUIGLEY SAYS °J. H. IS AWAY BELOW PAR Maintains High Mogul of Party Is Wrong Man in Wrong Place The probable viétory of the Rora- back faction will come as a sad poli- tical blow to George A. Quigley and his Independent Political club, one of the cornerstones of which is “get rid of Roraback.” It will also be seen as a partial victory for George W. Klett, state central committeeman from this city who is not a political friend of Quigley. It was previously reported from authentic sources that having practical control of the city delegation, Quigley had demanded that Klett vote against ‘Roraback for state chairman if he himself was to have the support of Quigley's votes. The result of this uitimatum, and also Quigley's loud protestation. against Klett's silence, has brought forth no comment from the wily erstwhile leader of the local G. O. P. That Quigley has not given up his fight against Roraback, but at’ the same time is not taking chances by being too vicious in his political as- sault, can be seen by the local man’'s attitude *today. Former Mayor George A. Quigley does not control the local republican deelgation, nor has he any desire to control it, he again reiterates. Also, according to Mr. Quigley, J. Henry Roraback, republican state central committeeman, is a gentleman, but does not come up to the political standards of the Quigley camp. *J. Henry Roraback is a gentleman and a man of pleasing personality,” said Mr. Quigley, “but we don't be- long to the same political school.” Mr. Quigley declined to be quoted as to whether or not he had any per- sonal animus towards Mr. Roraback. | *“I don't see why you want to in- terview me,” he said. *“I am not so politically important that I can affect the etate of Connecticut, only I am not a political coward and am.not afraid to express my views. “1 don't believe a an occupying Mr. Roraback's position and in his position with a public service cor- poration should be directing the af fairs of the republican party in Con- necticut, Any man who opposed the interests of the Connecticut Light and Power company would not stand very high with Mr. Roraback.” Mr. Quigley continued his discus- sion with the remark, “Whatever statements I have made regarding the chairman of the state central commit- tee, I arn voicing the opinion of sev- eral hundred New Britain republi- cans."” No, Comment on Klett ‘Whether or nqt the Quigley faction, which is said to be in control of the local delegation, has made any at- tempt to force Judge George W. Klett to desert the Roraback faction for the Quigley camp in order to save himself, Mr. Quigley declined to state, again reiterating th he does not control -the local defiga!ion and has no desire to do so.

ACTION PROMISED Operators Told That Congress Will Take Steps Toward Setting Basis For Wage Payments—All Sides Optimistic. Washington, Aug. 80 (By the Asso- clated Press)—When spokesmen for the anthracite operators and the min- ers' union left Washington in the ear- ly morning hours today after all-night coiference the only obstacle remain- ing to prevent resumption of hard coal production was sald to be a dis- pute over the length of time through which wage contracts would run, Operators Change Views, The mine operators who have stoutly insisted that arbitration be adopted to fix permanent future wage levels, a proposal which John L. Lewis, the miners' chief, has flatly re- fused to consider, apparently aban- boned the position in the informal discussions last night and early today, after Senators Pepper and Reed of Pennsylvania had given them assur- ances that congress intended setting up a coal commission this winter which would officially investigate all phases of the industry and perhaps in some measure lay down a basis for wage payments. Readjustment in 1923. The employers did however, insist that if work were resumed with war- time wages scales in effect, against the lev of which they protest, the new contract would terminate on Apfil 1, 1923, and that wages should be readjusted then. Mr. Lewis, for the miners, desired a much longer term through which to maintain the war-time wage rates which were in effect last April when work was sus- pended in the anthracite regions. The tentative discussions ended with this disagreement unsolved but with the arrangements to put the decision up to the responsible groups which speak for all miners and all the employers concerned. Before leaving Washington Mr. Lewis and 8. D. Warriner spokesman for the anthracite operators conferred with Secretary of Labor Davis and general optimism was expressed after- ward.

Russian Statement. Moscow, Aug. 30 (By Associated Press).—Informal overtures made re- cently by the American government broached the question of the United States sending an investigating com- mission to Russia, Leonid Krassin, minister of foreign trade and com- merce, declared today, but no official proposals had been made since Rus- sia outlined her position on this sub- Ject. If America desired to send a com- mission empowered to negotiate for the resumption of American and Rus- sian relations the commission would be received in Moscow, M. Krassin said.

VETERAN MISSIONARY DIES IN THIS CRY Miss Henrietta North Had Served for 34 Years in China Miss Henrietta North, who in October returned to this country aft- er having completed 34 years of work in the missionary fields of China, died at the home of Dr. and Mrs. D. H. Dickerman at 35 Walnut street about 8 o'clock last evening at the age of 67 years. She leaves no near rela- tives although there are several cousins that survive. Miss North will be remembered by many New Britain people for the work she did in this city about 1900, while on a furlough from China, in preaching evangelistic services to the New Britain Chinese. She was brought here from the American Sunday School Union in Boston, Mass., under \the auspices of the Sunday school of the South Congregational church. She spoke the Chinese language fluently and it was for this reason that the South church Sunday school depart- ment had her home to New Britain ment had her come to New Britain Christ. While in the city at that time Miss North was the guest of Mrs. S. H. Woods of Emmons Place. Mrs. Woods when seen this afternoon, said that Miss North wrote to her at intervals and told of the work she was doing among the Chinese. It was because of a breakdown in health that Miss North was in this country in 1900 Although it is not definitely known, |S friends of Miss North believe her home was in Winsted, Conn., previ- ous to her leaving for California, vears ago, where she learned the Chinese language and prepared for the work to be done in China. Miss North left for China to do missionary work on her own accord and at her own expense, Because of the success she made of the wo she was accepted by the Southern Baptist missionary board and for the rest of her life worked for this organization The headquarters of the board was in Canton, China, but Miss North was stationed at Shiu-Hing where she es- tablished a missionary school and for many years worked at the school with no assistance The school grew until it was found for the Missionary Board to send other workers to assist M North Miss North stayed at thi school until October of last year when her health again broke down and she was advised to come to thia country. She went to Battle Creek, Mich., where she remained until April of this spring and then came to New Britain The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the home of Dr. and Mrs. Dickerman on Wai- nut street and interment will be in Torrington on Friday afterhoon.
