POLITICAL POINTERS.

William II. H. Hewitt, president of the New Haven Democratic club, has received several favorable re- sponses to letters of invitation he sent to prominent democrats of New England. to attend the reception to w. J. Bryan in New Haven. August 31. The acceptances received indi- cate that large number of New England democrats will go to New Haven on that day. Only one or two of the invitations sent out by MT Hewitt have failed to receive an ac- ceptance of favorable response. It Is pretty certain that George Fred VII liams of Massachusetts will be in New Haven on that date. In his let ter to Mir Hewitt he expresses a doubt as to the sincerity of some so- called democrats.

Directors Meet lR Los An0eIeS

The Directors of Imperial Water Company Mo- 5 were summoned to Los Angeles for special meeting last Thursday. As a call had already been issued by them for a special stockholders meeting on September 9th for the purpose of considering ac- tion in regard to the contracts between the company and the California Devel- opment company. 1t is surmised that this Los Angeles meeting may have reference to the same matter. There has been more or less friction between the two corporations for some time past, and matters have several times approached dangerously near an open rupture.
 The directors of No. 5 zealously guard the interests of their stockhold- CTS and this attitude has often brought them into conflict with the development company. It so happens that number 5 Is located so the water Is turned off from 1t first of all. The water was turned out through Sharp's waste gate
