Hart stated today that the reason he had refused a permit to a socialist speaker for an open air gathering in this city was because the peti- tioners insisted on holding the meet- ing Saturday night and this is not allowed in this city. The serious traffic problem and the congestion such a meeting would seriously in- terfere with the regulation of it, according to the chief. At a convention of the socialist party held in Hartford yesterday, it was voted to send a -protest to Mayor M. Paonessa and the board of aldermen over the action of the police chief. Frank Crosswaith, New York negro, was the speaker sched. uled to have appeared in this cily and the convention heard charges that personal antagonism was the reason why Chiet Hart refused the permit, ‘The rights of free speech as em- bodied in the state and federal con- stitutions will be explained in the tommunication to the city officials and arrangements will be made for an open air meeting here and if refusal is again made, the meeting will be held as a test case, it was voted. Chief Hart stated that.no open air megtings of any kind will be al- lowed on the streets of New Britain on Saturday night, whether the petitioners be socialists or others. Mayor Paonessa had no comment to make on the charges other than to say that the decision in the mat- ter rested entirely with the police chief. After 13 years of holding the office of State secretary-treasurer of the party, Martin F. Plunkett of Wallingford, resigned his position giving ill health as his reason. Mrs. Minna Cederholm, of Bridgeport, was elected as his successor. Other officers chosen included: Fred Cederholm, of Bridgeport, State oranizer; Walter E.
