POLITICAL POINTERS
New Haven Bscsnlss Alarmed
 Over AsitlllIsy Activity.

And now wall is sent out from New Haven because democrats and anti-Lilley republicans are getting a hustle on to elect Candidate Robert son. Here Is what the Palladium says to-day among other things: Whether or not the story be true that the managers of the democrntic state campaign are In league with the antl-Lilleyites and are to furnish them with information as to probable favorable points of attack among voters opposed to Lilley. Is a matter the truth of which remains to be es- tablished. From the talk in anti Lilley circles yesterday. after Mayor Ignatius A. Sullivan of Hartford fin- ished a conference with represen- tatlve of the anti-Lilleyites. as al- legged, 1t Is supposed that such plan of action will obtain. It Is now un- derstood that the anti-Lilley people will put no third ticket in the field. This would be treason, as ono of them said. But the regular rerubli- can voter may look for fight ir .his matter gauged about along these lines: An educational campaign" 1" so called. as against Lilley;, the use of the paster for Robertson In place of Lilley's name wherever possible; school house lecturlng against Iil- ley; the approaching of voters, aud a copious distribution of anti-Lilley literature. Organization, 1t appears, is about to take place to this end, ss a Palladium reporter was assured last night.
 There is to be conference in New York tomorrow of some of the big men of the democratic party. Former State Senator Kennedy of Naugatuck will be there. MT Bryan will if pos sible be there, too. The party will come to Connecticut in the afternoon, MT Bryan will deliver rear-plat- form speech in New London and will make set speech in Providence. The party will stop over at New Haven and pay their respects to Mrs Troup
 widow of the late editor. This may be MT Bryan's only appearance in this state.
 The Italian Republican club opened its headquarters on Scovill street last night. Several notables were in attendance and listened to remarks by Domenic Manfredi, John Serica, M. F. Parkinson and others.
 John c. Dancy, colored, recorder
 of deeds at Washington, D. C., will deliver an address in City hall Fri day, October 2, under auspices of the 1 republican town committee.
 Thomas J. Gibbons has been named democratic senatorial nominee foI l the eighth senatorial district.

AN OCEAN RACE
Over Historic Course Is
Planned In SPAIN.
American and Possibly Euro
pean Craft May Compete.
Course to Be That Taken by Co.
iumbus on First Voyage.

Boston. Feb 10.-An international
ocean yacht race on an historic course
from Palos, Spain, to the Canary Is
lands, over which Christopher Column
bus sailed on the first stage of his
voyage 10 the New World, has been
arranged for next summer by IN:
yachtsmen of Spain. according t" adj
vices received here by the members
Of the Eastern Yacht Club.
1t is planned to send the confess
tantS away on August 3 next, the 416th
anniversary of the sailing Of Column
bus and to have the start as near the
point as possible from which the SAL
Ia Maria. finta and Nina weighed
#nchnr. The finish will be at Santa
Cruz on the island Of Tcneriffe, a dis
lance Of about 600 miles.
All the yacht clubs of North and
South America viii br invited to join
with the Spaniards and it is possible
that European clubs may also be ask
ed t" participate, but at present it is
tn" intention to Cuniine the race To
those countries directly benefited by
the discoveries of Columbus.
The event had its initiative with the
Royal Mediterranean Yacht Club of
Malaga and its suggestion to the az
thoritieS of tn" cit! Of PaloS, that the
race be started from that port met a
ready ana cordial response. The city
of Huelva, just across the bay from
Palos, and the principal port In south
western Spain, north Of Cadiz, will al
50 join in the enterprise, and may con-
tribute to the prizes.
1t is safe to say, however. that the
incentive for such a contest is the di"
rect result Of the Spanish American
sender races at San Sebastian Last
summer. IN fact it is through Vice
Commodore r. Lewis Clark of the
Eastern Yacht Club. whose yacnt
Spokane I participated in those races
and who is at present cruising in the
Mediterranean on his yacht Emerald
that the announcement is made.
The details of the race are already
being perfected by a committee APP
pointed by the city of PaloS and by
members of the Royal Mediterranean
Club 1t is also expected that King
Alfonso will witness the start and may
receive the competing yachtsmen be
for they leave on their voyage.
Although the course. like that of the
New York Bermuda contest last year,
is straight away. due southwest. the
yachts Will have more favorable winds
