CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS
VIII Probably Nominate Judge A. HeatOn
Robertson for Governor.

Hartford. Sept. i5.-In his speech
as temporary chairman Of the Democratic
State convention which opened tonight
ex-Mayor |. A. Sullivan Of this city paid
his resp ects to Congressman George L..
Lilley, the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor. MIR. Sullivan said:
MIR. Lilley spent four years in Congress
and never was heard of. To become
known to the voters Of Connecticut he
must get into the political limelight as
reforrner and the submarine boat scandal
was the result Of his efforts. The result
Of the investigation everybody knows.
IF MIR. Lilley was maligned and out
ragged and his reputation shattered by
false testimony or corrupt Congress
Mr.. Lilley and his friends should seek
vim dication not in the capitol at Hart
ford hut in the halls Of Congress"
Many persons at the convention pro-
fessed to perceive in this utterance the
They say. also that in view Of the con-
ditions the man for the Democrats to
nominate is Judge A. Heaton Robertson
Of New Haven because he is a man for
whom conservative Republicans wou Id
be willing to vote and because the anti
Llley sentiment is strongest at Judge
Robertson's home
The chances tonight arc in favor OF
Judge Robertsons nomination to-mor-
row.
A statement came from eI-Gov. Tom
Waller to-day that i'll health would posi-
tivelv prevent his accepting a nomina-
ton, and this positive statement has set
at rest the talk that was heard earlier Of
stampeding the convention for him.
After Mr.. Sulivan's speech. appoint
ments were made to the various COM
mittess by Senatorial districts and the
convention adjourned to 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning
The nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor lies, apparently, between Joseph
=. Tuttle OF this city and Mayor Georf e
Forster OF Rockville. with the chances in
favor OF Tuttle, although another Hart
ford man is talked Of for another place
on the ticket. This is Andrew j Broughel
also a lawyer. who is being brought for
ward as candidate for State Secretary.
Edward S. Roberts Of North Canaan, one
OF the State Auditors, will in all probabil-
ity be nominated for State Treasurer.

Friends-Tawney Nins-Isede Loses.

MINI sAPoLIs, Sept. 15.-Primary
elections were held to-day in Congress,
county, legislative and municipal dis
tricts. In the Congress districts there
were no contests Tor the Democratic
nominations, but fights were made in
the Republican ranks against all candi-
dates representing or supposed to rep
resent Speaker Joseph G. Cannon.
The biggest fight was in the first dis
trict. where James A. Tawpey, Cannon's
right hand man in the House, was op-
posed by T. V. Knatvold. Early returns
indicate the denomination of Tawney.
Returns from the Eighth district, which
inclu des Duluth. indicated a landslide
for Clarence B. Miller, who opposed Con-
gressman j. Adam Bede for the nomina-
ton.
In the Second District James T, McClear.
Third Assistant Postmaster General. got
the Republican nomination. He will be
opposed by Congressman W. s. Ham,
mond, Democrat. who two years ago de-
feated McCleary. The latter's defeat
then was due to his friendship for Speaker
Cannon and his stand for high tariffs. 1t
is freely predicted that Hammond will
again defeat McCleary. Hammond is
the only Democratic Congress man from
this State.

Woman. hut He Took Up With Another
and Told Her HE Was to Marry.
Angelina Lipresti. married woman
who worked on skirts in the factory OF
Rockaway Wilson d Co.. 43l Broome
street, hid behind box in the dark hall
way Of the establishment few minutes
before 8 O'Clock yesterday morning and
when Frank Panza, one Of the skirt de-
signers Of the factory. came IN the door
she shot him twice with a revolver. Panza
will probably die and the woman who shot
him says that she will not rest until she
knows that he is dead.
Panzs was a gay young spark about
the establishment where sixty odd girls
are employed. He made no great pre-
tense OF abiding by his pledged affection
for Angelina Lipresti. but told her. SO
she later related to the police. that he
was soon TO be married. That was only
a few days ago. Since that time all the
factory girls had looked at Angelina
Lipresu covertly over their shoulders
and whisp cred comments about how
the young skirt designer had thrown her
over for another.
The woman, who admits that she had
forgotten her love for her husband, a
wien faced little shoeina ker who lives at
u Morton street. brooded over what st 9
had given Panza and how lightly he had
valued her affection. Yesterday morn
ing she arrived at the skirt factory earlier
than the rest and she concealed herself
behind a packing box in the rear OF the
entrance hall. whence she could see the
light through the doorway.
Panza came downstairs to get the mail.
When he turned to ascend the woman
stepped out and shot him. One bullet
went through his right forearm. breaking
the bone. The second. grazing his right
wrist. ranged downward, penetrated the
abdomen and lodged in the muscles OF
the back.
Before the smoke had emptied from the
chambers Of her revolver the woman ran
screaming and hysterical into the street.
She raced up Sullivan street as far as the
corner of Spring. where Policeman Price
of the Mercer street station intercepted
her. The policeman commanded the
woman to give up the revolver and then
he took her to the station. :,
On the way and later when she had
become somewhat calmer Mrs. Liprcsti
repeated over, and over Sgain that panzs M
had got what he deserved and that he had
been irving to do" her. When told later
that the man she had shot was probably
diving the woman said she was glad.
Panya, who was removed to st. VIM
cents Hospital, made a statement to the
police to the effect that he had turned
Angelina down when he determined to
get married, and that she had believed he
was conspiring to give her position to the
" oman OF his later choice. The doctors
said there was small chance OF his re-
covery.
The woman was arraigned before
Magistrate Kernochan In jefferson Mar
ket court later and held without bail for
examination TO-DAY.

The Secretary OF State said that atten-
ton should be called to the achievements
of the party, national and State, He
thought that a clear exposition OF the
things done during Mr., Roosevelt's in
cumbenoy OF Office and while Mr. Hughes
has been Governor would appeal most
strongly 10 the common sense Of voters. he
suggested that point might be made to
the effect that while no party is ideal In
