Ward Two Man Feels Called Upon
to State His Position in Regard
to the Republican MayoraIty
Nomination
HAS TAKEN PART IN NO
MOVEMENT IN HIS FAVOR
Aware of No List of Delegates
Made Up in His interest and
Does Not Know Preference of
Any but a Few of Those Prac-
ticaIIy Selected

Hon. Alfred S. Pinkerton has decided
should make a statement Of his posi-
ton in the mayoralty situation. Mr..
Pinkerton is not a candidate for the
office and he wishes it understood that
his name is not to be used in the
caucuses nor in the contest for the
nomination.
The following statement, given out
by Mr.. Pinkerton last night, thoroughly
explains his position in the matter:
1T has not before seemed nee
essary for me to make any public
statement for the reason that no
formal invitation has been extended
to me to become a candidate for
mayor, but In view of the near APP
proach Of the municipal convention
l can no longer remain insensible to
the use of my name-both by press
and individuals-in connection with
that office, and l hope that l may
be permitted without being deemed
guilty of egotism to frankly state
my position.
ANY movement In my favor was
inaugurated during my absence,
and my personal friends know that
since myreturn have neither aided
or taken part In it. l did not wish
my name to be used in the caucuses
or in any contest for nomination,
nor am 1 aware of any list of dele
gates made up in my interest, nor
do l believe that any list was in

aldermanic candidate filing it.

Col Benton, in opening the case for
the New Haven road, said he consid-
cred the whole matter a subject for
Investigation and he would offer a
study of the problem as it affects the
New Haven road.
C. M Ingersoll, Jr, chief engineer of
the New Haven road, said that start
ing from the Union Station, the tracks
are raised and ascend on grade of
536 over Franklin Street to Green
Street where the rails begin to descend
to Washington Street where a level
grade is reached. Plymouth Street is
closed on the railroad right of way.
Madison Street is carried under the
tracks. Hermon Street Is carried I'M
der the tracks. Southbridge Street is
not changed. The Albany tracks are
carried over the New Haven by means
Of an iron bridge.
Southgate Street is carried under the
New Haven tracks on detour 260 feet
to the north and discontinued at its
present crossing. Cambridge Street is
taken over the tracks by means of an
iron bridge, lowering the grade Of the
tracks about six feet, and changing the
location of the street by making 1t
cross the railroad 125 feet to the south
closing it at it's present crossing.
Col Benton said this is practically
the study of his road, contemplating
closing three streets, but this cannot be
done without consent Of the City Coun-
Gil
The New Haven road proposes to use
slopes instead of a wall on the south
side of it's tracks, because they are
cheaper.
George R. Hardy, assistant engineer,
then took the stand in place Of Mr..
IngersoIl for examination by City
Solicitor Rugg. He said the plan for
Grafton Street Is almost identical with
that of the Albany road The grade
between Grafton and Green Streets IS
a trifie more than the Albany because
he assumes that there is a difference Of
five feet between the top Of the arch
and the rail at Green Street. The New
Haven tracks are between six inches
and a foot higher than the Albany.
The head room at Green Street Is the
same as the Boston & Albany.
At Washington Street. the New Ha-
ven tracks are somewhat lower than
the Albany-about IL or feet Wash
ington Street has a 14-foot headroOm.
He recommends closing Plymouth
Street because It is assumed that some
consideration should be given TO the
use Of Madison Street which will care
for a lot of the Plymouth Street travel.
BY disseminating this street the Allen
Boiler Works can be reached and it
will be a great saving of expense. BY
closing the street, the side tracks can
leave the new grade just east of Madi-
son Street and will come down to the
present level Of the tracks Of the boil
er works and Colvin's foundry. The
closing of Plymouth Street does not
anticipate the retention Of the freight
station on Green Street. This could
not he retained without a grade cross
ing at Washington Street. The side

The detailed stories of the seVeral
WARD ONE.
Ward one caucus had for its leadlng
feature a. contest for Common Councll.
There were three candidates, John X.
Knott. John Luskin and Edward Gully.
Mr. Knott received 101 votes, nearly
the total strength of the caucus; Jonn
Luskin got 70 votes, and Edward Gully
20.
In the delegates to municipal con
vention. Mr.. Gully barely was chosen,
John Murphy receiving within dozen
votes of Mr.. Gully
To a reporter, after the result was
announced, Mr.. Gully said: Il can only
account for my small vote by saying
that 1 was working for my party m
the ward and did no personal work IN
behalf of myself. shall file objections
against the name of John Murphy.
Who knows what John Murphy is
meant? There may be dozen OF that
name in the ward for all 1 know
During the evening it was seen that
stickers would be used, and protest
was made at the time. The warden
ruled that, while no sticker could De

had the right of adding any name ne

Representative Peter F. Sullivan, on
the ward committee received 485 votes,
leading the three other members.
The vote was not counted until l
o'clock, and by that time every one ex-
cept the caucus officers and the news
paper men. had left the wardroom.
Mr.. Connolly and Mr.. Zaeder received
enough assurance earlier in the night
of their election to satisfy themselves
that they were safe. Daniel S, Scan
nell, Of sculpture fame, entered the hall
about s o'clock and cast his ballot
without a word. He was called on for
a speech, but asked to be excused.
WARD FOUR.
i The Ward four caucus was a record
breaker, the lively contests for the
School Committee and Common Coun-
ell nominations bringing out 1885 votes,
la high-water mark. The polls were
opened shortly after O'Clock with an
attendance at that time of rs voters. AS
soon as the caucus officers were ready
for business the balloting began and at
no time until 10 o'clock was there a
let up. AT o'clock COS votes were cast
and after supper the voters came in
streams. At o'clock, the hour for
closing the polls 1906 votes were re-
corded on the ballot box and it was de-
cided to keep the polls open for another
hour. Father Mathew Hall was
crowded nearly all night and the can
didates and their friends did lot of
missionary work in the line, forming
a platoon by which all the voters had
to pass and get the glad hand. The
contestants worked earnestly to get all
that was coming to them and at one
time during the evening there were
10 hacks in front of the hall, showing
that there was some hustling after the
tardy ones.I spite of the big crowd and
the desire of all to get their ballots in
the box, the best of good feeling pre-
vailed throughout the night.
The task of counting the votes was
not completed until 1,30 this morning
and then the results were announced
as follows:
For School Committee-Dr. John T.
McGillicuddy had 746 DR.. Michael ].
O'Reilly had 63S; blanks, So; giving DR..
McGillicuddy the nomination by plu-
rality of 108 votes.
For Common Council-Joseph P.
Morrissey had 746; James Donagher
had 327; Martin ]. Leonard had 2S4;
giving Mr. Morrissey the nomination
by clear majority over the other two
of 1856
The announcement was made to a
crowd of about 100 voters, who hung
out until the last gun was fired. The
votes for delegates to the municipal
convention and the ward committee
were not counted. The result of the
School Committee fight will not be
carried to the polls as Dr. O'Reilly is
satisfied with the count and moved to
make the nomination unanimous. His
friends say he will be in line for a
nomination next year when the term
of DR.. Thomas Daniels expires.
