POLITICAL POINTERS.
Hearst Men Claim Only About One
 Hundred DeIe&ateS.

The Parker managers are claiming with evident confidence that the antd- Hearst delegates to the democratic state convention which meets here on Thursday, will outnumber the Hearst men three to one, says the Hartford Times. Some of the Hearst mana gers have been making large claims, but have not been inclined to give any figures. MT Troup is quoted as saying, "1 am not fool enough to make any estimate. am too busy looking after the delegates" A New Haven Hearst supporter ventures the opinion that some delegates from the rural towns, who are not thought to be Hearst men. will vote for his inter- eSts on the floor oG the convention, but from the reports in the rural weeklies of the elections and the pre- vadMng sentiment in the cAucuses, there ia little to support this be1ef. The New Haven Register says that 'tthe man who ds in charge of the Hearst tally sheet claims the follow ing delegates and says &hat the claim cannot be successfully d1Sproven: New Haven, 2T; Bridgeport, 10; Meraden, 8; Bristol, 6; East Hartford, 4; Winstsd, 5; Ansonia, 6; Beacon Falls. 4, Beth any,~2: Cheshire, 4s Derby, 6s Hast Haven, 2S Naugatuck, g.

THRILLS NEW BROOM
Sweeps Clean 'Tis Said, But Makes
 More Work in This Case.

The board of education committee on school houses and hygiene held rather interesting meeting yesterday after noon. Inspector of Schools Tyrrell has begun a system of keeping track of himself which now seems to enGulf him unless he is given an assistant, and the indications resulting from the meeting yesterday afternoon are that Superintendent Tinker's secretary, Miss Helen Hayden, will have to work more hours and all the year round Miss Hayden's position does not re- Quire her to work the entire year. AS Mir Tinkers secretary her work ceases when the schools close. for MT Tinker then departs on his vacation.
 Miss Merwfn. assistant secretary, is expected to work the year through, and from to 4:S0 or o'clock Mr TyrTeTl considers Miss Merwin does all the work she is paid to do, but has diff fefent views regarding Miss Hayden. He Is under the impression that sne has plenty of time which she could give in helping him to keep track of himself He said as much to the com mittee yesterday, and also that if he is not given assistance to keep track of himself he will surely get lost in the complications of the machinery he has built around his official movements.
 Mir TyrreiI seems bo be rather busy just now, but his busiest season is when the schools are closed in the sum- mer, for then he can go at things Lot foot and with both hands and without any thought of interruption. To what state then will his system of keeping track of himself reach during vacation when ae will be up to his eyes in the duties of his off1ce2 The prospect al most paralyzes the committed It was intended to bring the matter before the board of education last evening but on account of the absence of In spector TyTrell it had to go over.
