DEMOGRATS SAID T0 FAVOR “WETY' State Party May Have This in Platiorm New Haven, Sept. 11 (#)—Demo- ratic platform makers were in ses- sion here yesterday, the special plat- form committee of the state demo- cratic organization meeting to con- sider planks to be acted upon at the lemocratic state convention next week. Just what took meeting remained a close sacret last night, those attending the meeting stating that thelr report would be made to the state conven- tion at the proper time. Although the members of the committee were silent as to what transpired it was gathered that there is no lack of issues to be brought before the Connecticut fall. It was reported, although no members of the committee would confirm it, that there had been an insistent demand from democrats throughout the state for a wet plank in the platform and it was sald last night that the platform committee | had heeded this demand in the ten- tative draft of the platform drawn up. The committee members, ho ever, refused to make a statemen at the meeting on this fssue The committee Is headed by Chairman James J. Walsh, of Meri- den. All but one of the meml of the committee named recently by Mr. Walsh attended the meeting.

A panel of 34 prospective grand jurors was drawn yesterday, this will be reduced to 23 before the body convenes.

Two days later, after the bodies were found Gorsline said to her: “If I had turned my spotlight on them we might have seen something."” They agreed, they said yesterday, to say nothing of their experience because as Gosline explained it: “I didn’t know it had any value for the | state.” On advice of her pastor, Dr. Hall's successor, the girl recently changed her name. WMILLAN PLANS WORK FIVE YEARS {Will Spend Time Hunting Relics of Norsemen Christmas Cove, Me., Sept. 11 (#— Lieutenant Commander Donald B. |MacMillan, arctic explorer, has de- {clined to give up his work in the frozen north for exploration in the balmy warmth of the South seas. For the next five years he will be engaged in an attempt to gain definite proof that the norsemen founded a settlement in Labrador three centuries ago. Commander MacMillan's new pro- {gram became known here last night when he returned from a three months' voyage to Labrador and Greenland on behalf of the Field museum of Chicago. Stanley Field, president of the museum, met him with @ request to use his schooner Bowdoin in a five year South sea trip. “I scarcely thought Commander |MaeMillan would want to change his |field of action,” said Mr. Field, “but |T woula have been glad if he had |seen fit to head an expedition for us there. The Fleld museum is one of the best in the world in respect to its ethnological collection from that region, but it is seriously lacking in zoological specimens from the South |seas and some day we must send an them?” § members of the MacMillan- arrived here ves- rday on the schooners Bowdoin and Sachem after an overnight stop at nt's harbor.
