Queer Uphcayals Give Republican Candidate Fourth Vote and Allen

Allen. president of the board of aldermen and demo- cratic candidate for the office of regis trar of vital statistics to succeed the late James J. Carr emerged triumphant with majority of 252 votes over Rob- crt F. Lee Lee made a surprising run in many of the strong democratic wards carrying the stronghold of the Fourth by one ballot but In usually strong republican wards he failed to get the strength of the republican vote and was even defeated In the Eighth. In fact 1t looked as If the saying about some of the voting booths yesterday vas correct for large number of cas- es, that the republicans were voting for Allen and the democrats for Lee. The total vote was Allen, s'S5S; Lee s.3oi

DOWNED
Senator Loses in West Haven Caucus for Nominations to
 School Board.
EUGENE J. CRIMES NAMED
WcIl-Known Railroad Man and Dr. John F. Barnett Chosen
 Election Next Monday.

While the caucus in the West Haven town hall last night for the purpose Of nominating two candidates for the board of education of the Union school district was a short one, 1t proved to be the llvellest town caucus held there in some time. The fight was between pr. John F. Barnett, Clarence F. Thompson and Eugene J. Grimes. Dr. Barnett and Senator Thompson are at present on the board and the Catholic population of West Haven are making an organized effort to have another Catholic member appointed to the board and with this effort in view turned out so strongly last night f2r Mir. Grimes that he was nominated on the first ballot. receiving total of 4l votes. On this ballot Dr. Barnett re- ceived 13 votes and Senator Thompson IA. With Mir. Grimes out of the con test the fight for the other place was on between pr. Barnett and Senator Thompson and on the second ballot pr. Barnett received 54 votes and Senator Thompson 22, Dr. Barnett therefore receiving the nomination.
 Senator Thompson has been actively connected with the school board of West Haven for quarter of century and has always been prominent fig ure In the political and other public af- fairs of West Haven It was stated last night that at the election next Monday Senator Thompson's name would appear on an independent ticket and that on account of the great pop ularity of the senator in West Haven he would stand a good chance for re election to the board.
 The caucus to nominate the candi' dates for the school board of West Ha' ven Is held only as matter of form the election being by ticket. so that 1T case Senator Thompson on the lnde pendent ticket should receive greatel number of votes than MT. Grimes h' would of course take his old plac' again on the board for another term It Is expected that there will be lively fight at the election on Monday The board at the present time Is com posed of the following: pr. John F Barnett Clarence F. Thompson. Johl Brown, William s. Lucey. Edward Gagel and Henry A. L., Hall. At tn caucus two years ago Edward Gage' name was left off the ticket, but h was elected at the polls and is at pres ent a member of the school board. Ell gene J.

Will Accept If the Convention Is Unanimous Henry A. Bishop of Bridgeport
 Out of Contest,

That George M. Gum of Milford positively will not accept the demo- cratic nomination for governor even If 1t were handed to him unanimously. was learned yesterday when 1t became known that MT. Gum had just sent a letter to Charles W. Comstock. of Montville, chairman of the democratic state central committee. appraising him of the fact and therefore remov- ing all doubt as to his stand in tho matter. MT. Gunn's letter Ia short and to the point and in 1t he names as a candidate for the nomination Attorney James H. Webb of this city. MT. Webb 1t was learned. however, will not run. Mir. Gunn's letter to Mrs Comstock follows:
 Mir. Charles w. Comstock. Montviliss Conn.
 Dear Comstock:--A number of peo- pie have spoken to me with reference to the nomination for governor on tho state ticket at the coming election. as- surfing me of their support and urging me to become candidate. This, of course. Is fattering to my self esteem and is in itself compliment greatly | appreciated. Nevertheless am un- able to persuade myselfito get Into tho contests either for the nomination or election.
 am writing you this so that should the matter come up in any shape be. tween now and the convention or dt the convention itself you will be in a position to inform anyoiie mentioning my name in that connection that [ would not under any circumstsnces accept a nomination for any political office in the coming election, and even if 1t were rendered me unanimously and by exclamation.
 am writing you briefly and to tho point in the matter In order that there may be no misunderstanding of my position. believe myself that if Mir. James H. Webb of New Haven could be induced to accept the nomination he would make very desirable cAn- didats and would command more thoroughly the votes of his own party
  than l and would attract the votes of our opponents. equally as. well as myself. Very truly yourS,

PRESIDENTS LETTER FELT
Leaders Expect to Settle Question Without an Open Fight in i Convention.

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept 14.-Renom- ination of Governor Charles F. Hughes by the republican state con yention at it's session tomorrow after noon seemed at late hour tonight the probable outcome of battle in which most of the fighting has been done by the opposition. No stone has been left unturned by the leaders who desired and still desire 10 prevent the governors renomlnation. an there IS still A chance that they will ind some way to accomplish his defeat At times to-day 1t seemed as if they had reach ed some plan that might lead to sue cess but as the decisive hour ap- preached impartial observers see no means by which the defeat of the gov ernor can actually be accomplished and the antl-Hugnes leaders them selves began 10 admit that their cause was probably hopeless,
 ! Authorized dispatches from oyster Bay reiteratins the opinion of Presl- 1 dent Roosevelt that Governor Hughes | should be renominated created some 1 what of a sensation, even though the i announcement was not entirely unex- pected and 1t Is not too. much to say that they aded apprecisbly to the bit ternees of the allies opposing Hughes as the hour approache. which seemed almost certain to prove the failure of their efforts. The declara- ton follows:
 The president has been In commu. nicatlon with Secretary Root and Con. gressman Cocks In reference 10 the governorship situation, and has au- thorized them to state that. while he has no intention of dictating, yet tc all his friends who have spoken tc him on the matter he has said in the strongest possible terms that he fav' orej the renomination of Governor Hughes
 It is thoroughly understood here bS all observers of and participants lr the struggle that the opposition coulc have defeated the renomlnatlon of thu governor If they could have agreed upon some other man of adequate DO ltIcal size and induced him to accep the nomination. But all efforts tt finds such a man have proved fruit less. Secretary of State Elihu Root who is acting as chairman of the con vention has been the subject of inces sant and most persuasive appeals t assume the onus of the situation. HI reception by the convention to-da. : was enthusiastic and 1t Is proba bl that with the slightest intimation Q consent on his par the convenlol could he stampeded to him.
 Mir Root told the leaders to-nieh , however. that he could not think 0 such a thing. T am the senior mem ber of President Roosevelts cabinet. he was quoted as saying. "If shoul do such q thing, either I would be ar cused, and rightly of disloyalty to th , president, or he would be accused, wit
 good reason of insincerity in his att
 tude toward the governors renomina
 ton"
 That the leaders expect to settle tn
 nomination question without an ope

BOARD AWAITS ACTION
To Equip Schools With Fire Escapes
 When Financlers Say So.

The board of education is anxlously awaiting the appropriations of the board of finance in order that 1t may start to equip all the school buildings with fire escapes Some averse crit lcism has arisen over the slowness with which the protection of the schools has been looked after,
 A prominent member of the board of education said last evening that the boards hands were practically tied until they received their appropria- tions.
 Regarding the unsafe condition of the schools, 1t may be said that al- most s5,00o was expended on the schools In an effort to make them as safe as could be, This money was expended in having the doors arrang- cd sc as to be impossible to be locked during school hours
 Plans and specifications for the equipment of the schools with escapes have been drawn up, and will be re- ceived for the contract as soon as the board is granted the money,

CAUSED BY 0vERCR0WDINC

The board of education met last even Ing for the first time this year m the boards rooms in orange street All the members were in attendance, James E. Wheeler and Colonel | M Ullman for the last time. one of the two new ap- pointees of Mayor Martin to the board, Benjamin Shade, was also present, not as a member of the board, but as guest of those members. The board passed motion which will affect pu- pills from nearby towns for some time.
 Tuition Pupils Barred.
 Tn reporting on the conditions at the high school, MT. Beede said in part;
 "The high school with 2124 pupils in attendance has practically reached the limit of its capacity. Of these 2,l2i pu- pills, 9o3 are in the first year class While It would be possible to find room for a few more children lt is safe tc say that the school Is as large as II ought to be. Of the total number ol pupils about 200 are tuition pupils, o whom about so are In the first veal class. It Is evident that the hoarc should so consider the subject of higf school accommodations for tho future.
 It was at this juncture that Jame' i T. Moran took the floor and made motion that the secretary of the boart | be instructed to write to the nearb, towns and school districts, saying tha pupils, not residents of the New Ha ven school district, would be refuse' admlttance to the high school afte this year. He was closely seconded II his motion by Dr. Henry Spang an other members of the board
 The motion. and incidentally tn death knell of tuition pupils at tn New Haven high school was passe without a dissenting vote. This mean that the present juniors, sophomore and freshmen from Westville, Wes Haven. Hamden, Walllngford, Milfor and all nearby towns will be force to finish their high school educatlo elsewhere.
 Mir. Moran said In part: It's
 question of looking out for the locs scholars, children of the tax-paying eli izens. By refusing the out-of-tow scholars admittance we will be able accommodate the increase next year
 Dr. spang was also strongly in fs vor of prohibiting the tuition pupil He said in part; When it's a questio of providing means for educating tf local scholars. the out-of-town pupi , should not be considered"

 The school for deaf-mutes is an in- novation in the public school system, and the superintendent, pr. w, H. Maxwell is especially interested In the prospective work of the school. Its opening followed investigations by the Rev, pr. $, Mendes, who said that there were in New York city 1,500 children of school age who were re- ceiving no instruction because of be- ing unable to hear or speak,
