The all-absorbing question, “did the local republican delegation en- dorse the resolution calling for J. Henry Roraback’s scalp, or did the resolution’ suffer defeat?” still re- mains unsettled. Chairman Georgé T. Kimball is out of town and has announced no decision. George A. Quigley, leader of the anti-Roraback faction, and Mrs. Effie G.

She was not seriously hurt, but her es- cape was considered miraculous by the large crowd which had gathered and saw her leap. She is a woman weighing about 250 pounds, and her weight, combined with the fact that she had been operated upon for gall stones about two weeks ago, made her chances of escaping serious in- jury very slight. As it was, however, she suffered a number of minor bruises and two sprained ribs. She was attended by Miss Marguerite Sanford, daughter of Francis C.

The Sanford car, a large seven- passenger Studebaker, was travelling towards Hartford at a falrly good rate of speed, and upon approaching the | Newington avenue extension, went to pass a car driven by a woman, who is not known. She, without any warning or signal, it is said, started to turn into the road to the left.

Speaking of her own stand on the issue, Mrs. Kimball added: ‘Because I am a friend of Mr. Quigley's, it seems that I am considered as be- longing to one republican faction or other all the time. I am being buf- feted back and forth between the two, in the mind of the public. The truth is I am not aligned with either fac- tion, but have been put into office by the progressive women. I got out my own petition which was signed by 30 progressive women. I am opposed to Mr. Roraback because I think it is for the best interests of the republican party that there should be a change in chairmanship. Roraback Opposed Women “Mr. Roraback, in his efforts to block the League of Women Voters, has won the dislike of myself and a lot of other thinking women, that is one reason why I am opposed to him.
