With the gradual approach of the | political season to this town, inter- est In thé present situation is grow- ing daily. Rumors concerning the possible choices of this year's bal- loting are widespread and it is gen- erally believed that 1927 will give Berlinites a real old fashioned poli- tical season, following several years of apparent lassitude in behalf of the voting public. The largest point of speculation in | this vear's calculations lics in the office of first selectman, at present held by George B. Carter who has served In office for eight terms. Whether or not he will gain the support of the republican caucus for nomination and therefore a prac- tically assured election, is not known but it is generally believed that a hot fight will take place in the preliminary proceedings for the of- fice of leading official. When ap proached on the subbject of whether reclection or not he would seek some time ago, Carter statedth he had not given the matter any ‘thought, being too bus with the present day duties to consider the question. Popular opinion seems to favor his entering the ring for nom- ination on the republican ticket. Several other possibilitics of can- didates for nomination for the oftice have been mentioned, although mo | definite endorsement of the rumors has yet been made. It is commonly reported that a Kensington candi- date will throw his hat in the ring with the coming of the voting sea- son, supported by one of the strong- est organizations of that bailiwick. Such a candidate would undoubted- ly prove a strong factor in any race for nomination. The democratic part expressed themselves as hopeful of a strong leaning towards their nomi- nees, especially in the direction o tax collector. Last year's surprising results when Charles F. Lewis, pre ent collector, was trailed closely by the substitute democratic candid; John P. Lewis of East Berlin, win- ning the position by only five votes in his own district, Kensington, has based a strong campaign for a Ken- sington nominee for that position in case Lewis is renominated by the republican party. Abel-Janicki Wedding Rudolph Abel, one of East Ber- Mn's most prominent young men, and owner of a garage on Worthington Ridge, son of Mr, and Mrs. Rudolph Abel of East Berlin, and Miss Mary | daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Janicki of Burritt strect, New Britain, were married quietly at Torrington, Connecticut, on Tue day, August 9, according to an an- nouncement made today. Announcement of the wedding came as a surprise to local res dents, no notice.of the coming event being given out by either of the principals. No local people were present at the marrlage, the bride and bridegroom being without at- tendants.” leaders have | " Ibarely missed several Mr. Abel has continued work at the garage which is located In the northern part of town. He stated today that he was unable to definite- ly state whether he would reside in this town or in New Britain. He | has been prominently active in all soclal and athletic circles, having a multitude of fricnds in this town.

DREYFUSS EXPLAINS CUYLER'S PEMALTY Blames Star Outfielder for Spread of News Pittsburgh, Aug. 11 (P—Reactions of Pittsburgh baseball fans to the tining and benching of Hazen Cuyler, star outfielder, brought the state- ment from President Barney Drey- russ today that the disciplinin; the Pirates gardener “never would | have reached the public if Cuyler had not told it.” Cuyler was fined $50 for listless base running in the first game of the New York series. The next day he ! was replaced in the lineup by Barn- hart. peculation among sport writ- ers as to whether the double action might be the forerunner of a trade next season involving Cuyler was | termed *“newspaper talk,” by Pirate officials. It was also emphasized that any impression that the Pittsburgh club is making an example of the | outfielder or is trying to force an fs- sue that will lead to his being trad- ed, is incorrect. “Cuyler was merely fined for a { poor play, not so much as a punish- | ment to him individually but as a| warning to all the players on the | club that they must play heads up | baseball at all times” President | Dreyfuss said. “It was intended for the future good of the whole team as | | well as for the good of the individual | player.” ROCKEFELLER, 8, 1§ BOY AGAIN AT HOME | Spends Day Among His Old Friends —Gazes Across Lake to His Childhood Homestead.

For this reason it was lagreed that the name that received the most support should be given to Tagalong's pon; 18 and Freck- 1d Mr. Blosser, the artist who s the strip, decided this would the best plan.
