MAY ELECT HILLQU|T.
The New York Socialists in Ninth District Expect To Send a Man
 to Congress.
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION HELPS

New York, Oct S.-The socialist party announced last night that 1t would probably elect one of its repre- sentatives, Morris Hillquit, to con gress from the ninth congressional district, on the lower east side.
 One of the chief causes for the hope of Hillquit's supporters is the Russian revolution. The district em- braces large part of the Russian Jewish east side. There are thou sands of families that have lost rela- tives in the revolution, and the scores of socialist orators are making that one of their strong points, and pie turing Hillquit as the man who will look out for the interests of the Jews. A house to house canvass is being conducted, and many women have taken up his cause and are working for his election. A daily paper, the Yiddish, will be published the last ten days of the campaign and circulated among the Jews, outlining the socialist doctrines.
 Hillquit, if successful, will be the first man ever elected to the Ameri- can house of representatives on the socialist ticket.
 The candidate is Russian. He was born and educated in Riga, and was admitted to the bar in 1893, six years after he came to this country.

EDWARD RILEY MISSING.
Mother of Young Man Anxious t6
 Locate Her Son.

Edward Riley of 55 Pond street has been missing from his home for the past two weeks, and his mother is very anxious to hear from him. He is 19 years of age and had been working at the A. H. Wells Co on the Watertown road. He took no money with him, and also left two new suits of clothes in his room. When last seen he wore a black coat, blue trousers, black shirt and derby hat. He was about five feet ten inch es tall. His right name is Shanna- han, but his father died when he was quite young and his mother married a man named Riley, hence the req son why the youth is known as Ed ward Riley. He was accustomed to spend much of his spare time with employees of the steam railroad com pany and his mother thinks that pos sibly some of them may be able to tell something about him. He is an only child and naturally his absence is a great source of worry to his mother, who called at the Democrat office this afternoon and requested that the paper assist her to locate her boy by calling attention to the fact that he is missing and stating that she will feel deeply grateful for any information concerning him.

WILL BE DARK TONIGHT.
Superintendent of Police May Put on
 Extra Men on That Account.

Although the city will be in dark ness tonight and in all probability for the remainder of the week Super intendent of Police Beach, when ask ed this afternoon if he were going to put additional men on this evening to do duty replied that as yet he had not decided on what course to pur- sue You know, he said, that we have large number on nights now, still we may decide to put on some extras. but how many I cannot say. It seems to me that the company should furnish power for the street lights even though 1t would compel the trolley service in some parts to be discontinued. As I understand it, the company could operate the street lights if other things were abandon ed. It makes it very unpleasant for a city the size of Waterbury to be without lights"
 People will hesitate about travers- ing the streets when the city is in darkness and no extra efforts are be- ing made to protect them from dan gers which are generally to be en- cOuntered in such cases. Last night the police force in New Britain was reinforced because of the lights be- ing out

WORKING AT THE DAM
Bulls Bridge is Pretty Busy Spot To- Day Owing to the Leak Which
 Was Sprung Yesterday
BREAK IS A VERY BAD ONE

New Milford, Oct S.--A gang of 100 men got to work early to-day on the big job of repairing the break in the canal bank at Bulls bridge which occurred yesterday and which com pelled the New Milford Power com pany's plant to shut down, causing darkness in this place, New Britain, Southington, Waterbury and other towns depending on the power com pany for electricity. The Connecticut Railway X Lighting company which was affected by the 100 foot break ill the canal, got it's local powerhouses in operation in several places and the trolley service in Waterbury and vi- cinity which was tied up for several hours yesterday was restored to nor nal conditions today.
 It will be different with the light ing, however, and probably will be several days before the places de- pendent upon the local company's electricity can be supplied with light ing power.
 A careful examination of the break today made it conclusive that it was caused as the result of a leakage, which had had the effect of weaken ing the canal bank, little more ey-l cry day, until the great pressure of water finally broke it's way through yesterday.

TWO HOURS IN DEPOT.
ExcursiOnists from Hartford Had
 Tedious Wait fin New York.

Hartford, Oct S.-"All trains are subject to delay on account of block ade in the yards. Passengers will please remain in the station until trains are announced"
 The 900 Hartfoni people who pa tronized the New York, New Haven X Hartford Railroad c0mpany's cx- cursion to New York Saturday will well remember the above phrase. for 1t was called through the megaphone every five minutes of the two hours which the crowd had to wait for its return train at the Grand Central sta tion
 Because of publicity given to the speculators who bought up tickets when they were put on sale Wednes- day morning. few spectators ire quented the station at train time. X few tickets. however. were disposed of outside the building to good ad- vantage. as men had come to the sta ton with the hopes that tickets would be offered for sale at reduced prices. The prices. however. were well main. tained because of the demand. The colored porter. who. specu- lated in the excursion tickets. selling tlSem at fifty cents more than the regular price. was dischargei Friday and the officials kept sharp watch on other uniformed help about the station.
 IL Is expected that when excursion tickets are again pat on sale. effective means will be taken to protect pa- trons against speculators and to pre- vent specuIators buying up the tick cts.

INVESTIGATING TROUBLE.
Mediator Appointed to Look Up Cause
 of Steamboat Tie-Up.

Baltimore. Md. Oct S.-An investi- gation of the causes leading to the tie-up of the steamboat service of the Baltimore. Chesapeake & Atlanta, and the Maryland. Delaware & vir- ginia railroads as begun to-day by Charles J. Fox. chief of the Mary land bureau of statistics and infor- nation. Mir Fox on last Friday of- fered his services as mediator in the wage controversy between the IT, censed deck officers and the steam boat management. The men accept ed. but their employees declined. Mir Fox summoned large number of witnesses. including Captain Willard Thomson. vice-president and general manager of the affected companies. and Captain John C. Silva. national president of the American Associa- tion of Masters and Pilots. The find- ings of the bureau have no binding effect upon either party to the dis pute.
 Captain Thomson presented a long statement of the companies position. which was mainly an elaboration of the points set forth in his letter last week.
