MIGHT NOMINATE LASHAR SENATOR Democrats Mention Bridgeport Man in Case of Lonergan-Spellacy Dead- lock—Fitzgerald in Hartford. New Haven, Sept. 20.—Mayor Fitz- gerald and Arthur B, O'Keefe of West Haven, left for Hartford early today in order to be on hand for confer- ences, the former having to meet with the state committee to consider convention roll of delegates. Mr. O'Keefe said that he was rgt a candidate for the chairmanship of the state committee assuming that Mayor Fitzgerald would be the nom- inee for governorw-and had ‘no time to give to that ‘office. He was of the opinion that the next chairman would be Mr. Spellacy. He incined to the opinion that if Mr. Spellacy i§ not the nominee for senator he would be willing to take the chairmanship. Many democrats, as well as the delegates from New Haven and ad- joining towns, got an early start for Hartford. Most of them were talka- tive and the consensus among them was that Mayor FitzGerald and Mr. Spellacy between them had control of the delegates and they could name the ticket. Some said that if a com- promise candidate i{s needed for Sena- tor there was an inclination to put forward the name of Walter B. Las- har of Bridgeport. Most of the delegates thought that prophecies were futile as convention conditions developing overnight will have the geratest influence in shaping the ticket.

In fact so many got in last night and put up at hotels that it looked as if there was an advance gathering. The early arrivals were interested in the candidacies of for- mer Congressman Lonergan and for- mer U. 8. Assistant Attorney Gen. Thomas J. 8pellacy for the United States senatorship nomination and of Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven and Willilam E. Thoms of Wat- erbury for the governorship. Intense interest was aroused by the announce- ment of Stae's Attorney Homer Cummihgs that he would not accept a nomination under any circumstances for the senate because most of the delegates who had not declared them- selves apparently had figured that Mr. Cummings would be a comprom- ise candidate should the Lonergan- Spellacy contest be close and long drawn out. Some of these delegates searching around for a possible com- promise candidate, found a rumor that the New Haven delegation would be willing to offer the name of Philip Troup. Inquiry, however, {indicated that no one had been chosen to pre- sent Mr, Troup's name. In fact, it will be Mr. Troup who is likely to present the name of Mayor Fitzgerald to the convention for the governors ship. Many Seek Minor Offices Delegates paid little attention to the probable makeup of the remainder of the' state ticket, on the theory that the field of available candidates was 2 large and receptive one. The democratic headquarters was opened in the Garde hotel early this morning, with Secretary A. Sidney Lynch in charge. Unlike the republi- can convention arrangements, which have a machine-like perfection in pre- paring for the routine work the demo- cratic arrangements are usually not in good shape in advance of the open- ing sesmion. This'is due to the party rules, and Secretury Lynch today stat- ed that he intended to try and secure changes in ruies which will make it possible for local delegates to do their caucusing nearer home and then turn in their nominations for various con- vention committees on arrival at the convention. Very few of the district delegations have organized. Most of them will meet tonight, after Homer 8. Cummings, as temporary chairman, without costs. | GATHERING OF FIRE PREVENTION DAY ON OCTOBER 9 Governor Lakes Issues Proclamation Telling of Great Losses From This Source Yearly Hartford, Sept. 20.—In a proclama- tion issued today Governor Lake set) aside Monday, October 9 as Fire Pre- vention day in conformity with an act of the general assembly.

As was told in last night's issue, Abraham Gorbach, who- bitterly op- posed Mayor Paonesea, declined to serve any further on the state c tral committee if the local mayor w named for a place on the state ticket As there is apparently little doubt but that Paonessa will be given the place, Gorbach last night, at a meet. ing in his office, announced that he would not serve.
