NJ CARYHY FAVORED
Special Aldermanic Committee
Reports to Pay for En-
rollment.
DECISION IS UNANIMOUS
Bill for Services Performed by Two
Appointees Has Had Many
Nicissltudes.

The special committe of the hoard
Of aldermen. consisting of Aldermen
Burke, Miller, Collins. Foley and Rus
sell, which has been considering for
some time past the petition of George
f. Mccarthy, the military enrolling
officer, for pay for the year 1907
brought the matter to a focus last
night by making a unanimous report
to the board Of aldermen in favor Of
the payment of the claim The Me
Carthy matter has been hanging fire
for long time and the attempt Of the
military enrolling officer to get his pay
for services rendered in the year
when the two military cnrollments
were taken in this city has seen many
vlcissitudes. The trouble arose out Of
the fight between the democratic and
republican parties In the board of
aldermen. which resulted in the with
drawal of the members of the former
party from the board for almost the
entire year On the first meeting
night Of the year 1907 the democratic
members with a couple Of republicans
held a session at which they elected
democratic officials. despite the fact
that the full board stood II to 10 In
favor of the republicans. Adjourn
ment was taken before the remainder
of the republicans arrived and the
democrats insisted that this meeting
was the legal meeting for organiza-
ton The republican members held
meeting right afterwards which the
democrats ignored. at which repub-
4 ican officials We're chosen The dem
| oerats refused to attend any more
meetings OF the board until a test
case on the meetings had been tried
! in court at which the superior court
held that the republican election had
been the legal one and SO the repub-
/ leans session was sustained.
At the democratic session Mccarthy
had been appointed military enrolling
officer and upon his appointment
started to get his deputies to work
He had been the officer for the pre-.
vious year and supposed, he claims
that hts election had been in due
form Later the republican board
elected Robert Scally, who took an
enrolment also for which he was
paid by the city. The city, II appears
also accepted the enrolment Of Nc.
Carthy although II was not used and
all his deputies state that the city
never notified them that they should
cease to take the enrolment as an.
other officer had been chosen Since
i then Mccarthy has asked that he ht
paid tho 5000 for tho work although
Scally has also been paid. The boart
Of finance had the two bills and ap
proved Scally's but not McCarthy's
Tho corporation counsel's opinion
was secured on the matter and 1t helc
that the city could only pay the ont
officer Then Mccarthy petitlonet
the board Of aldermen to have his
bill approved and paid and It was re
ferred to this special committee Tht
report was made last night and |,
favorable.

Delegates Representing This
County Write Asking
His Resignation from
Delegation.
ALLEGE MISREPRESENTATION
Declare They Voted for Him as
District Delegate Believ-
ing Him Sure Bryan
Supporter.

A new phase In connection with the
political situation In regard to the
democratic delegation to the national
convention at Denver developed yes
terday when an attempt was launched
which is said to have the backing of
the large majority of the New Haven
county delegates to the state conven-
ton to secure the resignation from the
delegation of Louis Fisk of Branford,
the delegate chosen by the convention
IN this city to go from the Second con-,
gressional distiict. The attempt to re-
move Mr.. Fisk Is based on the claim OF
the Bryan men who say that they gave
Kim their votes under the misrepresen-
tation on his part that he would be a
strong and sturdy supporter Of Bryan
II he was sent to the convention. At
the poll of the delegation made at the
meeting of the delegates held at Hart
ford last Saturday Fisk declared him
self as without choice. On account of
this many Of the delegates claim that
they We're fooled and want another
man to take his place In the delegation
who will represent them.
Representative delegates who were
members of the state convention rep
resenting not only this city but sew
eral other cities and towns Of the coun-
ty held a conference with Mr.. Troup
In this city yesterday afternoon and
Indignantly insisted that something
must be done to have Mr.. Fisk remov-
ed from the delegation. Letters have
been written by delegates from several
towns Of the county, Mr.. Troup stated
last night, to Mr.. Fisk asking him In
the view Of the circumstances as they
have developed TO resign from Ine deIe-
cation and permit the delegates from
this congressional district to name an
other delegate In his place. These LETT
ters came from representatives in this
city, Derby, Wallingford, Meriden,
Cheshire and other towns in the
county,
It is said that Mr.. Fisk's position Is
that he is personally In favor of the
fbHliHHtloH Oh bryan dt t1t pIeSsllI
time but that he does not wish to de.
termine his vote until he has gone to
the convention AMI talked over the sit
Lation with the other delegates there
assembled
Mr.. Troup when interviewed last
night stated that the men who came
to see him had come with considerable
degree Of wrath In their eyes. State
Central Committeeman Franch Of
Derby, he states, represents that on
the night Of the convention In this city
Mr. Fisk pledged himself to him to
support Bryan and that under this un-
derstanding he introduced him to his
delegation and secured their votes for
him as a delegate, There were about
half dozen Of the delegates present
Yesterday and they claim to represent
a large share Of the county delegation
without whose support Mr.. Fisk could
not have secured his place on the dele-
cation,
Those assembled here yesterday have
! already mapped out course for the
selection of a man who will be mora
to their liking IL they can secure the
resignation Of Mr.. Fisk as the result
