CUMMINGS IN TOWN.
The Stamford Han Says That Hearst
 Won't Get a Look In.

Homer s. Cummings of Stamford, democratic national committeeman from this state. calculates that Judge Parker's friends will rule in the state convention which will be held in Hartford May 5 and 6. He esti- mates that at least MT Parker will have two friends there to MT Hearsts s one and that MT Parker will undoubt- edly get the nomination at the St Louis convention MT Cummings came into the fold Of the democratic party in the stormy days of 1896. He threw his fortunes with Bryan, but he has since thrown them into what is now, known as tho conservative element of the party.
 Mir Cummings says that the com mon sense of the state convention will be its only guiding element to the selection of Parker delegates. He sees nothing now that can stop MT Parker being the choice of the convention. AL ready he has won in the principal cit ies and in most of the large towns, but giving MT Hearst most of the towns which have not yet held their primaries. MT Parker will still win.
 MT Cummings places the following cities in the Parker phalanx: Hart ford, New London, Norwalk, New Britain, Danbury, Stamford, Norwich Willimantic. Middletown, Rockville, Putnam and Waterbury. MT Hearst has won New Haven and Bridgeport. Confning himself still to the cities, Mir Cummings considers Meriden as doubt full.
 Considering the towns, he holds Naugatuck as doubtful and that most of the towns will elect Parker dele gates, and that many of them that are claimed for MT Hearst are not in fact for him. MT Cummings was not in town in connection with the political situation at all. He is a member of the Eagles and was at the banquet of that order here last evening.

It will be the only home for consumptives in New Haven county and many physi- cians and citizens of the county are deeply interested in the project and have contributed generously to its cause.
 The association incorporated in 1902 and the legislature of 1903 appropri- ated the sum of $25,000 toward the home. The buildings on the grounds are gifts of private persons and the states money will be used for the care of the grounds.
