 Up in the Norfolk hills where the all air Is always so clear and brac- ng that you can climb atop of Hay ' itack mountain and cover with the ,ye a sweep of state from the terri 'ory of Sam Eddy and l Henry to the ballllwlck of Allan Paige and Jimmy Walsh%present Congressman and Gov lernor-to-be George L. Lilley Is en- | tertaning house party of 100 peo- ple, His guests are quartered al the Norfolk Inn and 1t is doubtful If landlord Sauter has room for anything beside a politician in his whole estab- ishment, The caravansary looks like the Allyn house In convention time. Think Of 100 politicians.
 When Mir Lilley reached Norfolk Saturday he had only few of his war riors with him. There was Sheriff Sidney F. Hawley of Brookfield, who nas waxed great in Fairfield county ex- actly as Allan Paige has waxed small, here was Postmaster Perennial Fred arick F. Gaylord of Ansonla. the faith ful Elmer H. Havens of Bridgeport and one or two others. The real main body of The army Is arriving today.
