POLI7ICAL POINTERS
Democratic State Convention Will 0psH
 M Hartford Te-Monow.

 The democratic state convention will be held in Hartford tomorrow and the following day. The prelimin- aries will take place tomorrow night and the convention proper will be held Wednesday. The local dele gates will leave tomorrow afternoon at 3:15 from the Highland Division station. The delegation Is unani- nous for Thayer.
 The only difference on hand here in Waterbury among the state dele gates Is to decide on two members for the state central committed There is not much confusion in the fifteenth, but there is some doubt about who will come to the front in the sixteenth. A neck and neck race is on between Alderman Spain and T. F. Dilla1e which will have to be settled here tonight between the de- legates from that district, which consist of w. J. Dillane, D. J. La hey, pr J. F. Hayes, J. J. Me- Donald, Michael Hartnett and w. H. Lawlor, the three first mem- toned from the fifth ward and the others from the fourth. It is said that the fifth warders refuse to con sent to anything but the selection of MT Dillane while the others are said to be equally firm in support of Mr Spain. They will have a session to- night when the tug-of-war will be decided one way or the other.
 There is hot fight among the dem Ocrats for place OH the state central committee to succeed Captain D. F. Fitzpatrick and Hubert NJ. Rigney. In the fifteenth district Charlie Egan and Harry Minor are in the running with odds slightly in favor of the scrap iron man. In the fifteenth it will undoubtedly be dead lock as T. r. Dillane and Alderman Spain who are looking for the sent, each have three delegates pledged The dele gates from the fifth are holding out for Dillane. while those of the fourth are in favor of Spain.

VACANT COURT BENCH.
Lawyers Are Speculating Al to Who Will Get Torrance's Place.

The lawyers are speculating over who shall fill the vacancy on the su- preme court bench caused by the death of the late Chief Justice David Torrance. Some of them say the ap- pointment cannot be made until af- ter the legislature sits next January. as 1t is necessary that the appoint ment shall be approved by the gen. eral assembly. There are some law yers wfO believe that Governor Rob- erts could call special session of the legislature and have his nomina- ton approved, but 1t is said whoever Governor Roberts would name would not receive the sanction of the as- sembly. Every. pains was taken to prevent Governor Roberts from in- creasing the number of judges of the superior court bench and 1t is not
 likely that in view of such a course having been taken by the legislature, it's members would now approve of any appointment he would make.
 As to who the new judge will be 1t Is interesting to hear the lawyers give their reasons for their choice. They all say that if Governor Rob- erts finds any loophole by which he can make the appointment he will lose no time in doing so and that he will take some one from the New Haven county bar, and perhaps ap- point him direct to the vacancy. as Governor Morris did in appointing Attorney Edward Seymour from the Litchfield county bar. There is 8 general belief that if possible Cover nor Roberts will make the appoint ment.
 Some lawyers say that Justice Tor rance's successor will be the reporter of the supreme court, James P. An drews. It Is said that Chairman of the Republican State Central Com mittee Michael Kenealy of Stamford is candidate and also Attorney General William King If the ap- pointment is made on the grounds of seniority Judge Simeon E. Baldwin will be the next chief justice and Judge John M. Thayer of Norwich, of the superior court, will make the full complement on the supreme court bench. This will leave va- cancy on the superior court bench and will make Judge Silas s. Bronson of Middletown the senior. There Is an impression that the new judge of tho superior court will either be Chairman Kenealy, Attorney General King or Attorney John P. Kellogg of Waterbury. If the appointment is made from the New Haven county bar, and the lawyers think 1t will, they say that Attorney Kellogg will certainly be the choice.

SIROBEL LOST MONEY
Well Known Jsxsla Gives maaagel l HiIIy Dursnt Some Telling Raps.

If there is any one In Waterbury
 who thinks the Waterbury baseball
 team made money during the season
 just closed. let him drop in to sec
 George Strobel, the largest stock
 holder of the local outfit. MT Stro-
 bel is hot under the collar because
 Of the outcome of the season and Is
 hot at all backward in coming out
 tn saying what he thinks about the
 situation. He says that he is
 Through with baseball and anyone
 wishing to buy out his share can do
 so at any time. T certainly am dis
 gusted with baseball and you can ksay for me, that as soon as l can kfind a person willing to buy my stock III will gladly sell. I have lost just &32,1O0 on the season and any one
 who thinks otherwise may come in land look over my books. This talk
 pf the team making money is all
 bosh. I have paid out my good
 money and what did 1 get for 1t?
 When ever I asked Harry Durant
 what was the matter with the play
 ers he simply gave me the ha, ha,
 threw up his hands and said that
 Everything would come out all right.
 TO pay the last salaries of the play
 DTS was compelled to go and give
 my personal note to obtain the
 money. The last fourteen games we
 played netted us just $275 and l had 8to dig, to pay the salaries. am Xsimply tired of 1t and certainly #have had enough"
 M MT. Strobel seems to think that IManager Durant has not treated him $fairly and says that If there has been 4money made. Harry is the one that &got it.
 4 What right did he have to go and give benefit game for himself? VI was not in favor of 1t. put in all 1.-the money. he takes all the profits. SIt's plainly to be seen who has been 4the sucker. That well which we &built out there cost us $500. l paid
 S400, but will not pay the remaining amount. I am being dogged every Hay by the builders but they'll get nothing from me.
 M This talk of other teams making
 Thousands of dollars Is all poppy talk. &The idea of Hartford saying 1t made x$5, 900! Why, on only one occasion |fdid We ever get more than $100 in
 hat town. Springfield may have
 made money, but nothing like what &he management claims
 # Secretary and Treasurer Strobel poured hotshot over the plate in rapid |1order. As was believed at that time Hby many. 1t is now seen that MT Stro- bel never sold out his interest as 2publ!shed. the story probably being jgiven out for reasons known to them belves.
 % Mir Strobel threatened to withdraw 4n July when the team was losing money, but he was convinced to stay. money when 1t drew so we'll at home kand Mir Strobel was asked how he Accounted for 1t.
 4 "It Is easily to be seen that team which costs $2,5O0 month, our team cost every cent of that amount, . cannot make money on the patronage given ps at home and around the cir |icuit. Why. my money has not even drawn interest. not to say anything about paying of any money on what I 1t cost to buy the land and put it in shape. That's the whole thing in nutshell and anyone who is under i the impression that made money l has another think. Harry Durant probably cleared $500 or $500, but received none of It."

The republicans of Wolcott held their caucus Saturday evening and elected two Walter delegates. Evelyn NJ. Upson and George w. Brown. The Dunham forces were lead by Adelbert Wood and Frank Cole. and the Wal ter Cohorts. by Evelyn NJ. Upson. The caucus was warm one though it was not influenced by the weather at all. Things now look the county commis- sioner's way for certain. The New Haven papers say he has more dele gates than is necessary to give him the nomination. Still Sheriff Durham and his friends say he is in the race
 till the last vote is counted in the convention.

northwest, filled with binding snow,
and hurting the s%pindrift high over
the Jersey beaches, Two schooners
went ashore yesterday nea here,
their crews being rescued with diff
Guilty by mans of the breeches buoy,
and a third schooner, whose name is
unknown, was approaching Spring
Lake beach with every indication OF
stranding toward sometime after sun
down.
The bowling gale had stripped the
vessels of their sails, and made naVi-
cation well-nigh impossible for any
but the strongest craft. The first
boat to go ashore was the two-masted
schooner James M. Hall, Captain
Hallock, lumber laden. No sooner
had the life saving crew at Deal
Beach sighted the Hall than they
made out the three-mast Samuel G..
Holmes, Captain Evans, also lumber
laden, which stranded less than Z
half-mile from the first schooner. The
lib sails with which the crews had
replaced the canvas, torn away carl
Ter in the storm, were blown from
the masts.
Owing to the terrific surf which
was piling high on the sands, Captain
| William Van Brunt and his life saw
ing crew we're unable TO launch the
life boat, but they sent three lines
aboard the Hall. The crew of the
stranded schooner hauled a heavier
line aboard, and to this was attached
the beeches buoy, by which Captain
Hallock and his crew of eight men
we're safely ashore over the hundred

none of them was the worse for go

The life savers then hurried to the
Holmes, which was pounding on the
beach. Their task here was more
difficult, owing to the greater dis
lance the buoy line had to be fired.
But after several attempts a line was
got abroad, and Captain Evans and
his men were rescued. BY nightfall
the schooner Hall had broken mp, and
her cargo of lumber was being scat
tered by several miles along the
beach. The Holmes held better, but
with the terrific seas that were run
ming, she was evidently doomed.
The Hatteras storm, which struck
the Jersey coast anC Long Island yes
terday was of the tlercest variety.
Every life saving crew was on the
keenest watch for vessels in distress,

STOKES WORKS
IN ESSEX GO.
Urges COntending Factions TO
Get Together. Conference will
be Held Tomorrow Might.

NEWARK, Nov. 16:-As a result,
it is said, of an urgent appeal from
Governor Stokes, who wants to see
the contending factions of the repub
lican party in Essex county brought
together, the executive committee Of
the Essex county republican COM
mittee will hold a meeting in Newark
tomorrow afternoon to consider the
situation of affairs as they have de-
veloped since the retirement of Major
Carl Lentz. The executive body can
do nothing definite as to selecting a
successor to Lentz, but can recon-
mend a man or suggest a plan of ac-
ton. This, it is said, may be done.
Considerable interest is centercd
in what may be the outcome OF the
complicated state of affairs in Essex
county, and one plan which is being
freely discussed and may be Endorsed
at the meeting tomorrow is the APP
pointment of a committee of five
members to take charge of the coun-
ty's political welfare and direct all
campaigns. This plan had once be-
fore been talked about. This plan is
to have the committee of five select
one of its members as chairman for
the meetings of the county commit
tee. He would, however, be vested
with no more authority with refer
ence to the political business of the
committee at large than any other
member of the subcommittee.
To carry II his plan, however, it
will be necessary to amend the con-
stitution of the county committee,
but that would be an easy matter, it
Is said.
With the resignation of Lentz 1t is
known that Governor Stokes and
some of the state house leaders have
expressed the hope that the Colbyites
and regulars" would get to-
gether and agree upon some man Tor
chairman of the county committee.
The governor has talked to some oL
the prominent Colbyites on the SUD
ject.
1t is understood that the ColDyltes
informed the states executive tha1
they were only too willing to work
with the regulars provided the lat-
ter stood for the Colby principles
namely. equal taxation, limited iran
chlses and a popular vote for the
choice of United States senator's.
