ATTACKS TRUNBULL ON WATER RIGHTS McDosoagh Says He Was WOIM&P. . HITS “POWER GRAB” BILL —— Democrasic Candidate for Semate De- clarcs He Was Forced te Walt Threo Hours at Capitol to Obtaln Oficial Records. “Governor John H.

McDonough, democratic candidate for state sen- ator told employes of' Landers, Frary & Clark at a noonday rally today which featured strong denunciation of the republican candidate for re- election as governor. “I want you ;z remember that on election day,” Mr. McDonough told his listenera. “You have heard many things about Governor Trumbull in recent weeks, and you're likely to hear more before election day rolls around,” the eandidate commented. The Trumbull administration, with reference to the water rights bill ‘which gave the Connecticut Light & Power Co. extensive rights in the state was termed “shameful.” ] Trumbull's Name on Directorate Mr. McDonough had with him a copy of an official report from the office of the secretary of state at Hartford, showing the name of Governor Trumbull as a director of the company, and he amused his audience as he told of the three hour walt he had before the paper could be found in the files. “I was told it was difficult to find. I was told it must have been mislaid, and 1 was told it might take houra to find it. When I said I would wait until it ‘was located, they turned off the heat und turned on the ice, but I stayed and here it is,” Mr. McDonough con- cluded. Mayor Paonessa discussed tariff and told of his meeting with Gov- ernor Smith last week. He pro- duced the paper aigned by the demo- cratic candidate and read his pledge to protect the industries of this city through & protective tariff. Mayor Hits Conway The mayor again criticised Patrick B. Conway, republican campaigner who predicted bread lines and soup kitchens in the event of a vepubiioan vigtory. “Just around the corner is the house in which the mayor of the eity In 1907 lived.” he said. “It wi during a republican administration and it was the only time in my mem- ory that thousands of men walked the streets demanding either food or work. They marched, 3.000 strong, 10 the home of the mayor to make their demands, and remember that ‘was under a republican administra- tion. Mr. Conway, the republican party’s imported speaker, {insults your intelligence when he comes here in 1928 to warn you of bread lines under a democratic adminis- tration, when you know what hap- pened under a republican adminis- tration.” the mayor shouted hotly.

(Bossy) Gllils, Newbury- port's imprisoned mayor, has decided to run for the state legislature and what's more, he is not treating his campaign lightly. Although the “bad boy" mayor is in the raiddle of & two months’ sentence in thie Salem Jail, his candidacy is proceeding with much force on a flood of stickers with Bossy's name on them. ‘The mayor's decision to become a candidate for the legislature was be. lieved to have been infiuenced by the fact that 3,500 people petitioned Essex county officials to parole the mayor. Such popularity, the mayor figured, might just as well be turned into votes and his campaign is pro- ceeding accordingly. Louis James, who was Bossy's campaign manager in his fight for the mayoralty, 18 serving in the same capacity in the new campaign. The district. known as the 18th Essex representative district, comprises Bossy's home city of Newburyport and 'a number of smaller towns. The other candi- dates are: Seth H.

SHIP GREW TELLS OF NOTHS RLIGHT Sighted Macdonald 600 Miles O Newloundland Coast FLYING 700 FEET UP | Plane Appeared at 11 p. m. Plain- 1y Visible Due to Flame from Ex- haust—In No Apparent Diffi- calty. Antwerp, Belgium, Oct. 31 (P— The men who caught the last glimpse of the ilifated Moth air- plane of Commander H. C. MacDon- ald as the tiny alrcraft was am- bitiously speeding eastward from | Newfoundland on the night of Oc- |tober 17, have just paid a visit to this port and told in stmple words the story of their brief touch with the daring airman so soon to vanish into mystery. They were the officers and crew of the little steamer Hardenbr-rg which was on the high seas about 600 miles east of Newfoundiand on that night bound from Montreal for Antwerp and whose master, Captain Heykoop, sent to the Associated Press in London the only word of Commander MacDonald’s move- ments after he left Newfoundland. Tell The officers and crew when they finally reached here after a slow voyage with a heavy cargo of wheat were surprised to learn that their ship had sent the last news of Mac- Donald. Chief Officer Willlam Fen- enga, who was on watch on the deck at the time that the plane was seen, thus told the story of the sighting: “It was exactly 11 p. m. when I heard the noise of a plane’s motor. It didn’t take me long to make out the plane's position in the sky, for the machine was flying at not more than 600 to 700 feet altitude and was distinctly visible, than] to a red colored trail which the burning petrol in the motor left behind. On the plane itself no light was to be seen. Watch Plane Closely “We watched the plane closely, anxious to see whether the fller was intending to signal us. It seemed certain he sighted us as the weather was clear without mist, although there was a strong northwesterly gale. There was no sign from the machine however. It kept steadily purring eastward and there was no indication that the flier was in any difficulty. “We kept the plane in sight only about 10 minutes as it slid off into the horizon to the east and vanish- ed. Our position at that time was approximately latitude 53.20 north and longitude ¢2.25 or about 600 miles from Newfoundland. “We at once sent off & message to the Assoclated Press reporting the sighting and giving the position. ‘When we reached port we were very grieved to learn that no fur- ther word had ever been received from the files WORLD WAR YETERAN DIES Adolph Passkkowski, 35, of €37 West Main Street, Enlisted in Hartford on December 6, 1917, Adolph Paszkowski, 35 years old, of 637 West Main strect, died of tuberculosis at his home this morn- ing. He was a World War veteran. He was one of the first New Britain men to join the army, enlisting in Hartford December 26, 1917. He was born November 16, 1893, in Poland, and had lived in this city since 1914. He leaves his wife, Michaeline, and two brothers and two sisters in Poland.

NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, SMITH INVADING | Democrats Predicting 20 Cities JERSEY TONIGHT May Address Appeal to Labor in Newark Talk - 10 GO BY AUTOMOBILE Supporters Wonder Whether Nom- ineo Will Consent to Make Final Radio Roquest for Votos Monday Night Before Election. New York, Oct. 31 (M—Governor Smith will carry his fight for the presidency outside the borders of his home state for the last time tonight when he motors into New Jersey for a speech at Newark, a city only re- cently evacuated by his republican opponent. Returning to his headquarters here immediately after the address, the democratic presidential nominee will spend tomorrow in preparation for his twin effort to ewing New York into line with speeches in Brooklyn and this city Friday and Saturday. 59 Votes at Stake Fifty-nine votes in the electoral college are at stake in New Jersey and its neighbor state of New York, and Governor Smith belleves his! chances are good for bagging all of them. Despite the fact that only once in the last quadrennial elec- tions have they been found in the democratic column. This was in the tri-cornered race of 1912, when Wil- son carried both states. President Coolidge has a plurality of more than 375,000 four years ago in New Jersey and topped the com- bined Davis-La Follette vote by ap- proximately 270,000. Smith cam- palgn managers, however, see a dif- ferent picture there this year and long have held that state to be de- batable territory. Labor Appeal ‘What the democratic nominee will choose for his text tonight in New- ark had not been announced from the Smith camp today. It was considered likely, however, that he would devote a good portion of the speech to an appeal to the laboring classes, inasmuch as Her- bert Hoover chose this topic for his Newark address. Tentative plans call for the gov- ernor's departure from the Hotel Biltmore after dinner for the 20- mile drive to Newark by way of the Holland tunnel and Jersey City. Mayor Hague of Jersey City, who arranged the monster reception for the nominee at 8ea Girt, N. J., short- ly after his notification was making preparations today for the second democratic invasion of the state. The New York executive had not been apprised just what the Jersey City mayor had in store for him in the way of a welcome, but it was be- leved the departure here would be 80 timed as to permit the nominee to participat in a torchlight parade before reaching his destination.

To- day's issue of the “oldest college daily” carries three communications from associate editors in which the | News and individuals connected with it, are arraigned for the alleged ! “playing up” of non-college republl-‘ can news and the “playing down" | of democratic news. The paper also carries a reply to the communica- | tions from Fred Albert Simmons, Jr., of Boston, managing editor. The ! most interesting part of Simmons’ | answer is a postscript in which he says “the managing editor of the News doesn't give a who gets elected and isn't old enough to vote anyhow.’ The communications are from Ralph D.
