Pro- ceedings were brought by the tax collector and the city court turned | over the land to the city. Blds have been advertised for and al- ready several prospective buyers have made inquiry.

S. Senator by the republicans yesterday. Ontlook is Obscure The outlook was sald by demo- cratic leaders here to be obscure. They have been searching for a man Who would accept the nomination and sentiment, they claim, just now is crystalized on Col. Norris G. Osborn, editor of the New Haven Journal Courier, Leaders All at Sea But Col. Osborne has sald he would not take the place and was not available for nomination to any office. The Journal Courier, today, however, discussed at length the Osborn end of the situation saying that the demacratic leaders are “all at sea” and that the whole matter was hinging on the accep- tance by Col. Osborne of the sena- torial nomination. All Want Osborne Sald the Journal Courier, which however, did not interview its edi. tor: “It is pointed out that delegates from all over the state are anxious to have Col. Osborne run, but the Powers are yet unable to definitely answer querries on the matter.” Col. Osborn's attitude was stated to the news editors by an intimate assistant, who said, it has long been Bingham re- | known that Col. Osborn, editor-in- chief of the Journal Courler has no political aspirations and that in view of his work on the paper and his*other engagements of a literary nature he could not under any elr. cumstances accept a nomination for any political office, Would Not Accept Col. Osborn, at his editorial desk this morning said that he was not a candidate and would not accept the nomination if made. He sald he had never been a candidate for of- fice, did not like office holding, the difficulties in the way of his taking office, physically and financially, were insuperable, and all he could say would be that he was greatly complimented that any one should think so much of him as to want to nominate him for senator. Delegates Arriving Delegates to the convention be- an to arrive at party headquartez in the Taft during the morning hours and they exhibited at the out- set a lively interest in forecasts Most of them were seeking informa- tion as to possible candidates for places on the ticket and as to planks in the platform. Platform Plank The “wet and dry” issue was the chlef one discussed and many dele- gates said they had been told the tentative draft of a document which Wwas in the hands of the special committee had in it a plank which in some respects conformed to ideas which had been cxpressed by Willlam E. Thoms of Waterbury. These same delegates were qui outspoken in expressing their belief that the state ticket would be made up with Mr. Thoms at its head. Beach Is Mentioned There was no one, however, to forecast as to the nominee for U. S. senator and former Assistant Justice John K. Beach was the only name mentioned. No one at headquarters was able to say, how- ever, that he would permit use of his name. The judge was not at home today and his personal atti- tude towards use of his name could not be learned.
