NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1930. DELEGATES READY FOR CROSS CHOICE Former Yale Dean to Urge Pro- hibition Repeal New London, Sept. the opening tonight of the demo- cratic state convention, which is ex- pected to nominate a noted educa- tor, Wilbur L. Cross of Yale, as can- didate for governor and support his “wet" views with a platform advo- cating repeal of the 18th amend- ment and the Volstead Act. The advance guard of the conven- tion's 1000 delegates was agitated by 11th hour reports of factional differences over secondary places on the state ticket and state party leadership. Fear was felt that the long-standing enmity between so-called organization and reorgan- ization wings of the Connecticut party might break out with suffi- cient virulence to upset the pre- convention harmony which enabled leaders to agree upon Cross to heal the ticket long before the nominat- ing convocation. Compromise Rumored Rumors wWere current here that representatives of both factions met at New Haven last night and agreed upon a compromise slate. This slate, according to the unconfirmed re- ports, was as follows: Governor—Wilbur L. Cross, New| Haven. Lieutenant Governor — Daniel Leary, Waterbury. Secretary of state—Alton T. Mi- ner, New London. Comptroller—Anthony Danbury. Treasurer—Fred P. Holt, ford. Attorney-General—David A. Wil- son, Hartford. Previously it had been understood that Wilson was assured of second place on the ticket. Many delegates were of the opinion the so-called compromise slate would face diffi- culties on the floor of lhr‘ conven- tion tomorrow. Expect Fireworks Even the most optimistic advo- cate of party harmony believed to- day that tonight's scheduled me ing of the state central committe to chose a state chairman and s retary held strong possibilities of fireworks. James J. Walsh, Meriden, and A Lynch, West Haven, pres. ent chairman and secretary. face heavy opposition from the “Young Turk” wing of the party. The task of deciding upon a new state chairman has been complicat- ed further by the reluctance of Dean Cross to express a preference, The first official convention activ- ity occurs at 2 p. m. when the plar- form sub-committee meets at Hotel Griswold, where the convention will be held. to finish the rough draft of the platform. The gathering will be called to order by Chairman Walsh at 8 p. m. and Homer S. Cummings of Stamford, former democratic na- tional chairman, will be introduced as temporary chairman and “key- note” speaker. After the address, Cummings will be made permanent chairman and various committees chosen. The actual nominating will place tomorrow.

It was a Warner Bros. and called “The Office Dorothy | Vtiaphone picture Wife,” with the attractive Yackaill and the fascirating Lewis | one in the leading roles. The story is handled quite a bit differently from most stories that deal with a triangle It is done: in- telligently and convincingly. The center of the triangle is a busy ex- ecutive whom Mr. Stone portrays | with the understanding and superb | acting that has made him famous The wife is played efficiently by Nat- alie Moorhead. Dorothy Mackaill, the versatile young actress whom we remember particularly for her work in “The Barker,” and “The Captive Woman" portrays the role | of the private secretary who falls | in love with Lewis Stone. Now here is where the story is different. The wife is not the pitiful creature who is neglected by her husband. | This wife has interests of her own, and her husband turns to his secre- tary naturally for her companion- ship and advice. The secretary is engaged to a young reporter, inci- | dentally, and the wife is having a | flirtation with a handsome acquaint- ance by the name of Jameson. A sparkling comedy, a Vitaphone | Variety, a Travelogue, screen snap- | shots and Movietone news round out | ¢his excellent bill of entertainment. | ATLANTIC S, CULVERT WILL CARRY OFF BROOK City Starts to Remedy Conditions | Caused By Many Stagnant Pools Along Watercourse nination of a long complained of condition on Atlantic reet near IFarmington avenue was begun to- when work was started on con- struction of concrete culvert to brook flowing through this or several years, the brook has | been blocked at various points hy\ debris dumped nearby.

No longer will he speed to the scene of a fire in his scarlet automo- bil> and show the youngsters how 1o extinguish a stubborn blaze. Years ago, the assistant chief = of the fire department carned his sou- | briquet when the then Chief Croker found Martin face down in a fume filled cellar manning a single hose that his comrades had been forced to desert. He was captain of En- gine Co. '\o 31 and Chief (roker and shouted to the men around: “Boys this is Smoky Joe Martin, and by the gods, he loves it!” The name stuck to him. Yesterday, Dr. Joseph §. Smith, chief medical officer of the depart- ment announced “Smoky Joe” was through. It was the judgment of the medical board that he never answer |a fire bell again. “Smoky Joe,' collapsed last April at a three alarm fire. He said the fire had nothing to do with his ill- ness. It was a hot day, he said, and he had neglected to change from his winter woolens. STEEL ORDERS DECREASE New York.
