Many women in the crowd, who had deposited money with the firm, wept and tried to fight their way past po- licemen at the door. Clerks who were questioned by the police professed entire ignorance as to the whereabouts of the four ‘missing men. With election day less than a month off, the New Britain branch of the democratic party is in a quan- dary as to whether or not direct primaries are in effect in this city. There are two factions in the party, one of which claims that nominees for places in the common council this year must be chosen in convention and the other claiming the direct pri- maries must be employed, Last year, on motion of Councilman Stephen A. Lynch, direct primaries were approved by the city convention and a committee was named to bring in rulgs. In the fall campaign, a convention was called and the com- mitfee recommended that, with a few minor exceptions, the republican sys- tem be adopted. The matter was tabled for one week and at that time the convention decided that it had no power to act since the matter whs one in the hands of a previous con- vention, As a result, one faction claims that the caonvention system cannot be em- ployed since primaries were formally adapted, while the other faction claims that there can be no primary as there are no rules to govern it.
