severe setback. His physician announced that
he had severe attack Of vomiting, and his
hands and feet were cold. His condition was
considered very serious. though not necessarily
fatal Whether or not he will be in condi-
ton to attend the session tomorrow now is
a grave question. His docto: Will venture no
predictions, though earlier in tie evening he
thought Foelker would rccu7erate after
nights rest. The news of his collapse cpread
quickly and seized by racing supporters
as a confirmation of their predictions that
Foelkers vote would not pass the Governors
bills. At midnight, largely because of this. they
beat the bills.
Senator Foe1key accompanied by DR..
Murphy, who has been his constant attendant.
He slept most OF the way from Staatsburg to

TALK OF SECOND PLACE
BOOMS RISE AND FALL.
Many Feel Called, but None Can
.Say Who VIII Be Chosen.
Crv Te,ecrepll to the Tribune )

Chicago June 1O.-The Vice Presidential ques-
ton is seriously agtating those who have the
welfare of the party in charge, but peculiar
situation exists with regard to the second place.
and every one here admits being wholly up III
the air on the subject. Frank H. Hitchcock
made the assertion this evening that there was
no administration candidate; that all reports
to the effect that this that or the other man
was favored by the administration or by Secre-
tary Taft were unfounded, and that the Taft
managers were doing nothing to promote or re
tard the candidacy of any man.
There is no doubt that the administration was
favorable to the nomination or Senator Dolll-
yer, who is not only a legislator of great abil-
ity but perfect whirlwind'' the stump
The progress of the Dolliver movement has beel
checked, however. by the declaration of Lafe"
Young that Delivers nomination would proba-
blv mean the election to the Senate of Governor
Cummins and ultimately possibly colleague of
his choosing.
Secretary Cortelyou has his friends in Chi
cago. although they do not seem to be making
much progress. and whenever the Secretary's
name is mentioned it is asked, How does he
stand with the New York delegation?" To this
question no one seems to have a satisfactory an
swer Representative Littauec Cheerfully
predicts the nomination of Representative Jim"
Sherman, of New York, but here again the
question is asked. Can he command the support
Of the New York delegation"
The two Massachusetts Senators find their
hands tied by the necessity of supporting Gov
ernor Curtis Guild, jr. Mr.. Guild has active
press agent in Chicago and some work is being
done in his behalf, while great capital is made
of the fact that he recently ate luncheon with
the President and Secretary Taft; but. after all.
there is no real stamina in the Guild boom, and
with the exception of Senators Lodge and Crane
almost every one refuses to take the boom seri
ously.
The most obvious feature of the Nice-Presi-
Dental situation is the subsistence of the sent-
nent for Vice President Fairbanks, due in large
part to the beligerency of his representatives in
Chicago and Also in part TO his own declaration.
as voiced by his friends here that nothing would
induce him to accept the second place.
With a large amount of available timber for
the Presidency, the party actually seems at
loss for a candidate for Vice President. Few
If anv of the Presidential candidates would con-
slider the second place, and the men who have
shown themselves really anxious TO be nominal
cd have not apparently. met with the require
n,ents of the leaders. SO obvious is this sItua-
tion becoming that one national committeeman
threatened this evening to insert an advertise

SOUTHINGTON.
Special Jcurnnl-Couricr News Service I

Southington, March S0.-The town is being asked to make payment in a case which is very singular one. Last Thursday Dwight Clark was travelling east of Pratt's Corners when an auto came along and ran into him. His wagon was smashed but he himself was left uninjured. However, the auto party did not stop to ascertain the re- suit of the accident. MT. Clark has made demand on Selectman Levi New ell that the town pay the damages. He holds that the road at this point is not sufficiently wide to permit an automo- bile and team to pass. As a matter of fact the road is very narrow at this point, but would allow passage if any precaution were taken. MT. Newell consulted Town Counsel Brown in re- gard to the matter and was advised that there is no strength to the claim of Mir. Clark. It is understood that Mir
 Clark intends to bring suit, but wheth- CT it Is against the town or the owner of the auto is not known. The number

FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Quinnipiac Avenue to be Hard ened-Other Forms of Pub
 lie Improvement.

Director Foley of the public works Quinnipiac avenue. both north and south of Grand avenue. This inform ation will be learned with much ap- proval by the people of Fair Haven and especially by the residents on that thoroughfare. Director Foley, in company with Burgess Harry Leigh, made an inspection of the avenue and pairs. The surface is in pretty bad shape in places and needs a dressing of broken stone Director Foley says he will have a gang of men begin work on the avenue as soon as he can pro- cure the stone. Of late years, the traffic on the avenue has increased greatly, especially the speeding of au- tomobiles and it is said that the fast rate at which these machines have been run, is responsible for some of the damage to the roadway. It has become a favorite route for autoists and no one would object to this, if the rate of speed could be better reg ulated. As it is the policy of the city to keep its telford pavements sprinkled 1t is expected that the borough will not have to sprinkle Quinnipiac avenue the coming summer. This will reduce the amount of sprinkling that the bor- ough authorities will have control of, to a considerable extent. In the mat ter of street sprinkling, it was stated some time ago in this paper, that the borough contemplated buying a sprinkler. Last year the carts were hired. It is now stated however, that the present board of warden and bur gesses will not buy any more prop erty for the borough. The members feel that 1t is so near for them to go out of office that it would be the bet ter courtesy to allow the board which is to be elected in May to attend to this matter. So in consequence of this decision it is not expected that street sprinkling will begin in the borough for some time.
 Right here, in the matter of public Improvements, the people of Fair Ha- ven will be glad to learn that the lamp department of the city is to erect street signs in many localities which are now unmarked. While this is to be gen eral policy all over the city, people over here will be glad to know that their part of the municipality is to re- ceive its proper attention. Many To- cal streets are unmarked and this is especially true in the outskirts. It is the general opinion that every street corner should be properly indicated so that a stranger can tell just where he Is at. Many are of the opinion that there are few improvements of equal importance as the marking of the names of the streets. It is understood that the committee has about s1OOt available for these new signs and F'air Haven ought to receive it's due propor- ton.
