NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1930. Quigley and Humphrey Surprised By Friends at ERN H. HUMPHREY Mayor Quigley N. Humphrey of the and Chairman 1., board of pub- | liz works were honored at a party | ai the Oakdale tavern in Walling- | ford last night in observance of their | respective birthd anniversarics which occurred this month, and u nanner in which they wer l\f-pt the dark until the right time spring the surprise convinced Umm‘ that despite their long connection | with politics, there are some tri which can be worked on them. William H. Hall, former city en- gineer, {ook Mr. Humphrey to New 1 sterday to play golf, and was careful not to give him the slightest inkling of what wus to fol- low. Mayor Quigley had been in- formed that the party was to be “on’ Mr. Humphrey and he Lept th et, agreeing to be at the tavern | soon as possible after delivering{ an addr the republican rally in 1. 0. O. F. halh | In the meantime, members of ths board of public works and ofticials and employes of the department, | went to the tavern and waited for | Mr. Hall and Mr. Humphrey. Mr. Hall knew the party would be getting under way, so he cont to keep Mr. Humphrey occupied the golf game, but Mr. Humph-| and suggested that they stop off at the tavern for din- at was a “lucky break” f Mr. Hall, for it was fo the tavern he knew he must guide his com- | panion without arousing his Ppicions, and away they went tog | e | Seated in a privale dining room, ‘ ihey were about to order dinner when the door opened and ‘n marched the celebrators, taking Mr. | Humphrey mpletely by surprise. | He had been completely | taken in, | not a solitary hint of what was com- ing having reached him. After dinner Mayor Quigley, arrived about 10 o'clock, was intr duced as toastr ter and presente Mr. Humphrey with a smoking The mayor thought then that the surprise had been well carried out | but the next moment he realized that he, too, had been duped, for Building Inspector A. N. ](\l(hm[onl stepped up with a smoking set (or “His Honor. The affair was most cnjoyable in every respect. Old times were talk- ed over and some of those in attend- | ance learned things they had never | DLefore heard of about the political | history of the city. The republican | caucus fight in 1910 between Mr. | Humphrey and Orson . C for the mayoral nomination was ed, Mayor Quigley at that time hav- ing been aligned with the Curt forces. Mr. Curtis defeated M Humphrey but the bitterness that was engendered resulted in a bolt | by the Humphrey supporters on clection day and the democratic nominee, Joseph M. Halloran, was| victorious Mayor Quigley and Mr. Curtis had | a political falling out a little later, however, and locked horns in mem- orable contests several timos. Mr. | Halloran served two terms as n i before Mayor Quigley defeated him in 1914 and it was Mr. Curtis who | knocked the mayor out of the run- | ning by wresting the republican nomination from him in the primar of 1920. As fate would have it, Mr. Curtis fei'a>wed up his vietory by a Wwin over Mr. Halloran at the polls | enly to have Mayor Quigley defeat | him for the nomination two ye later. Again the fight in the lican party was so fierce that Curt supporters went over to the demo- cratic nominee, Angelo M. Paone. and he won at the polls over Mayor Quigley.

Ditchburne said he believed there last night by members of the gang of Jack (Three-Fingered) White, accused of slaying Policeman Edward | Pilaume and wounding McBride in a suburban tavern five years ago. White was once freed on a murder charge growing out of Pflaume’s dcath, but the case was recently re- instated, in line with the present compaign against crime in Chicago. Although the gang who fired at McBride from an automobile which had been drawn alongside the street car made their escape quickly, the police felt certain of getting infor- wation that would lead to their ar rest.
