WILL CONFER
 ON CITY COURT
 APPOINTMENTS
Bridgeport Senators and Representatives to Talk Matters Over in the Near Future to Decide on Judge Fosters Successor Fight Against Delaney Continued.
(By our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, Feb. "A conference ot the Bridgeport Senators and Represen- tatives will be hel6 today or tomorrow for the purpose of discussing the sit uation in regard to the City Court ap- pointments in Bridgeport. There is considerable of a fight on as to who shall succeed Judge Carl Foster as judge of the City Court, and the Pas tors Association is still after the scalp of Prosecuting Attorney A. L. De- Laney. There is also opposition to the remaining of Judge Foster.
 Today the three Senators and two Representatives from Bridgeport re- ceived letter written by c. J. Whit ten of BOP Park street, Bridgeport, in which he requests their influence against the appointment of any judge Delaney. MT. Whitten is a personal friend of Gerald H. Beard and mem Der of the Park Street Congregational church, of which MT. Beard is pas- tor.
 Powerful interests are being invok- ed in behalf of Delaney, however, and at this time it seems probable that he will be selected to succeed himself. There is but little doubt that he could be ma med as deputy judge if he would accept it, but it is said that he de- sires to retain his present position of prosecutor.
 The fight will be watched with in terest and there may be some quick changes before the matter is finally settled

 Steve TimFt. who was instrumental in saving Wallace from a watery grave was also in the dock, charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace.

After amusing himself for some time with other off, cers he finally encountered Sergeant O'Leary who promptly ran him to headuuarter Judge Pullman gave Timko a lecture on behavior and allow ed him to go.

ANXIETY FOR MALLORY LINE
 BOAT SAN MARCOS
May Have Been Unknown Vessel Which Foundered Off Cape Hatteras Last Saturday.

Special from United Press.)
 New York, Feb. 2.-Anxiety is felt in marine circles in regard to the whereabouts of the steamer San Mar COS of the Mallory. line. It is feared that she may be the craft which went down off the Diamond Shoals, near Cape Hatteras on Saturday. The San Marcos carried ten passengers and a crew of fifty. No one was rescued from the ship that went down off Hatteras, so quickly that she was not Identified
 The officials of the Mallory line say that they have no idea that the lost vessel was the San Marcos. On the contrary they are confident that their vessel will reach Galveston by the time she is due. They say the San Marcos was not equipped with wire less and the fact that sh ehas not been heard from since she left New York is not remarkable.
 She was due to pass Key West yes- terday but had not been sighted there. The Mallory line officials claim that she might easily have passed there without being seen.
