THE DATE IS FIXED.
Bridgeport City Base Ball Team to Be
 Defeated September 10.


 At meeting of the city officials base ball committee, which consists of City Sheriff John W McDonald, chair man; Commissioner of Finance Martin J. McEvoy, secretary; Aldermen John Brophy and Ralph N. Blakeslee and Commissioner of the Board of Publi" Safety Dennis J. Lahey, it was definite 1y decided to invite Bridgeport city and to enjoy c1ambake at the Athletic field in this city, on Wednesday. Sep tember 10. The formal invitation will be sent at once to City Clerk Bucking- ham of Bridgeport by City Clerk M. J. Ryan, Great preparations are being made to entertain the visitors. City Sheriff McDoRald and Comn1issoree Labey drove to Wolcott to-day and completed arrangements with Elyin Upson of that place for the use of the tent which is used at the Wolcott fair for September 10. Under this tent, which will be erected at the Athletic field. the Bridgeport officials will see what a clambake really is. Messrs Mcdonald and Lahey were given a royal reception in Wolcott and were given the freedom of the entire town during their extended visit. They brought with them wagon load of ap- ples.
 It is expected that the Bridgeport delegation will arrive in this city at 1:30 D. m. September 10. They will be met by the reception committee and a band and will be escorted to the Ath :. Ietic field in trolley cars. The game will be called at 2:15. at which time it is expected that the Park city officials will meet their Waterloo. After the game and the clambake social ses- sion will be held in the City hall. Sub sequently they will enjoy ride over the different trolley lines and will see what this beautiful city looks like dur ing the night. Many persons think that the clambake and the social ses- sion should be held before the game. because they fear that the Bridgeport team will be so badly defeated that the Park city visitors would be so sad and gloomy that they will not be able to enjoy the good things,

 ". BourlSe Cochran. when seen at his home at Sands Point. last night. said: q have little or nothing to say fela- i've to the testimony of Mir Lamb and MT Power in connection with the Northern Pacific merger suit beyond asserting that it is entirely false, so far as my name is used.

I have had no relations with MT Lamb for at least q year and never relative to this matter. ! have no idea why my name has been brought into the matter and know of no reason why Mir Lamb should have dragged it in. This is aIi I care 10 say. except that the testimony relative to me is false.''

1t I finally agreed not to decide whether I should become a candidate until they had conferred among them selves and again with me
 When your local committee called upon me ! was not able immediately to reach those friends, and therefore suggested that I have until Monday evening to communicate with them. Your committee agreed among them selves to suggest Thursday night for that decision.
 I am moved not only by reasons personal to myself. but also consider ations for the party to say that shall not become candidate.

Enthusiasm Slow at Last Nights Meet
 ing-New Haven Primaries.
 Many were called but few chose to attend a pow wow of the Strobel forces in the city court room last evening. and when the meeting was called to order the most conspicuous characteristic was the ominous silence which pervaded the room. No one seemed to know the purpose of the meeting and the only enlivennent MISS q question from H. NJ. Rigney and said question was leading one. Tho meeting was about half over when Rigney arose and perenlptOrily Demanded to know by whose author aty the meeting was called. The si- lence again fell and the clock ticked douder and Miles Connolly grinned greatly. Two hundred invitations were issued but there were only 36 men present. D. J. Mahaney refused to be chairman; Peter Coughlan also declined and then D. E. Fitzpatrick accepted. James Freney was ap- pointed secretary and after this bJlsi- ness. was completed the ominous si lepce again fell "Get together. gen. tlemen" suggested Connolly. That's rightn suggested Registrar Hynes. No one else spoke so Miles again broke in. we had better appoint six delegates from each ward to make out a. ticket" Registrar Hynes suggested that five be appointed When Chairman Fitzpatrick requested those present. from each ward to arise no one got up and silence again hush- cd the meeting. Finally, partly by caaxipg and partly by buttonholing, they were gotten into the four corners A af the following places tonight: First ward city court room, city hall. Sec ond ward, vacant store, corner Hill and Burton streets; third ward, city hall: fourth ward, city hall, fifth ward city hall annex. The hour of meeting will be s o'clock sharp.
 James D. MeGann and Francis ". Foley, surnamed these latter days '.the inaehine,D smiled large and iib- eral smiles in the office of the senior member of the combination last even ing as the returns from the primaries rolled in, with tale of unqualified victory for the democratic organiza- tior against the Trades council and Economic league ticket, for conven- ience sake, described as the "anti." The antis carried the fifth, the thir- feenfb and fourteenth. There were contests in the first named wards, but the last was defaulted. The real struggle was between the Strobel-Fia- havan- Charters forces on one side and MT Tomlinson on the other side. Of the 1O2 delegates who will name the 26 delegates to the county convention, which makes the shrieyalty nomina- ton. Mir Tomlinson has 92 and the Strobel ct al forces 10. The delega- tion to nominate delegates to the state convention is doubtful as be- tween Thayer and Cary, but prob aify is for Cary for governor. The shrievaIty contest by wards is as fol lows:

tend to-night's meeting in Buffers and PoIishers' hall.
 At a meeting of fourth ward demo crats last night it was decided to put up a ticket at the primaries with dei- egates favorable to Charters. If the Ansonia man cannot get the nomina- ton the delegates, it is said, will vote for StFeisel. Evidently this Is a Stro- bel ticket. The same parties will hold another session in the Wagner block. Brooklyn, tonight.
 Are the Etr0bel lieutenants begin hing to pave the way for an excuse to turn tail and run away frotn the party nominees this fall as they have been in. fiie habit Of doing for many years past? They are alleging all kinds of trickery in places where they fail to hoodwink the democrats and with this eircuiated in, advance they will be able to offer a reason for bolt ing if they cannot get their man, some thing which is highly improbable. You can't catch the, Wily politician nap ping. .
 Naugatuck did not take much inter. est in the democratic primaries. Many thought the strong labor clement in that town would make Itself felt in support of Mayor Charters. but t seems they took no stock in the con test one way or the other and as u result few men working in the ili- terest of the man with the ssbarreI'' carried the day If that .sbarrea,' holds out until ali the primaries have been heard from it would be difficult to tell who will be ahead, Senator Kennedy was on one ticket and he had his EeHchmen on the others so that the machine had no trouble in coming in ahead.
