New Haven, Oct. 14.-Invited by ;hairrnan Conlstock of the Demo- tratic State Central Committee to take sides with the Democrats in the present state campaign, Attorney Prentice Chase, a leading Republican of this city, and who has bolted the nominee of his party in the ninth Senatorial district, in letter of re- ply to Comstock, which is calculated to be the sensation of the local cam paign, asked to be allowed further nsideration of the invitation.
 : Chairman Comstock had addressed MT. Chase because of the latters pub Iicly avoWed intention not to identify himself with the Republican party. / Chase'S answer c1OakS the charge that the Republican machine in this city and throughout the state, second ed by the public service corporations, are nominating for the House of Rep resentatives, good men in many cases, while for the Senate they are naming men Of doubtful ability and reaction Rry tendencies and henchmen of the interests.

 STRATFORDITES

old town.
 A prominent. stratford citizen who has been identified with the fight against the "Old Guard'' said this morning, Any person who proposes the giving up of one section of the town without taking the whole must be suffering with mental infantile pa ra1ysis. The people have talked with want the town to go in with Bridge meal imposes taxation upon those who remain and stunts the growth of the place. It is 1aughable to see who the leaders are, who want one part of the town annexed. The section they want to give up is inhabitated by Democrats or citizens who voted right at the last town election. At the time there was talk of giving up three feet of Bar mum avenue for the railroad, the off cers of the town objected but now they want to give $500 feet away.
 +"The citizens of the town who have lived on Hol1iSter Heights who have been the pioneers in the opening of the section don't want to go into Bridgeport unless the whole town goes. There may be a few late corners there who favor being cut off from the old town but they are prompted by the prospects of financial gain through a building boom. The outskirts of any city are generally very poorly cared for and Hollister Heights would be no better off unless it became @ part of the Second tax district in Bridgeport. Many of those who favor annexation would change their minds if they knew how strong the people of Bridge port feel about abolishing the entire First tax district. With the Hollister Heights district Bridgeport would have to take the $40, 0CO school, the greatest lemon ever handed to any town. It looks like a jail and stands on a sma1n lot. It is not paid for and will have to be paid for in the future. If MT. Enos will advocate the taking of the entire town as it is without sewers, sidewalks or street lights he will find the majority of the people with him.

Coroner Wilson declined to hold Harold Elliott, the young engineer of the houseboat,- Edgar B; xley, upon which Mrs. Edgar Bixle5, a former vaudeville favorite and wife of well known vaudeville comedian, met trag- ic death early yesterday, after he had questioned young Elliott at length on the circumstances attending the wonn- ans death. Mrs. j. w. Bixley,> step mother of the bereaved husband, came here today to take charge of the fun eral and began to seek a $500 dia- nond ring she says is strangely miss ing.

 Mrs. Bixley, the second wife of the actors father, arrived here from Washington, D. c. this forenoon in re- who had been notified at Pittsburg yesterday of his wife's death. Play ing an engagement at the Grand Opera House he did not come here himself leaving everything to his step mother.
 Mrs Bixley viewed the remains of morgue, and then asked about her valuables. At the naorgue she found a plain gold ring, her wedding ring, which was the only thing of value found upon the remains She inquir- ed for a diamond ring she said was worth $500 which her son had given

REPUBLICANS MAY ENDORSE
 A. M'NEIL JR.
Indications Point Strongly That Way-Senatorial Conven-
 ton Tonight
"AL" LAVERY MAY RUN IN 22d
Water Company Man Seems to Have Nomination Well in Hand-Other Possibilities of Evening

A movement was started today by a
 number of leading Republicans of the 22d senatorial district to bring about the endorsement of Archibald McNeil
 Jr., the Democratic nominee and there
 is no doubt that MT. McNeil's name will be brought before the Republican
 convention to be held this evening.
 Realizing that it would be forlorn
 hope to accept the nomination them
 selves. such leaders of the Republican party as Thomas Arnold, Jr., Henry H. Parrott, Nicholas J. Tesiny, Joseph Stoehr, Alderman John M. O'ConneIl, John H .Colgan have declined the nomination in the order given.
 The district is nominal1y Democratic dfdate say that if the Democrats of the 18th district could be magnaninous and endorse the Republican candidacy of Stiles Judson they don't see why they cannot "do unto others as they have been done by.''
 If MT. McNen is not endorsed to- vention will have to be adjourned for want of a candidate. The call for the convention to be held this evening is for an adjourned session of the city convention for the purpose of nonlinat- ing two representatives to the General Assembly and IA candidates for jus tices of the peace. The delegates to the three senatorial districts make up the city convention and although no call was sent out for the senatorial conventions it was practically under stood that the convention would di vide up into senatorial conventions and proceed to complete nominations.
 There seems to be no doubt that AL derman Robert H. Gould will be the candidate from the 21st senatorial dis trict. Over in the 23rd district where they have had almost as much trouble to find a candidate to run in a noInin- ally Republican district is being found to make the run in the Demo- cratic 22nd the delegates settled this morning upon Albert B. Lavery, rep lie Co.,, to be the candidate. Unless some great schange transpires between o'clock this afternoon and 8 o'clock tonight MT. Lavery will be the oppo- nent of Alderman Garry Paddock in the 23rd district.
 For representatives the party will undoubtedly nominate Major Thomas Boudren the champion of anti-vaccina- tion and a prominent G. A. R. man. From the East Side the only caNdidate Is Ernest Ort1epp, of IT Burroughs St., the well known undertaken and a well known resident of German extraction The convention will be called to order at Republican headquarters by Nal colm McFayden.
 A peculiar feature connected with the holding of the convention tonight is that many of the delegates who hail from the 22nd district which the in surgents could not carry against the clare that they have been sighted in the sending out of the notices. They claim they have not been notified con- corning the holding of the convention.

ATTORNEY CHASE PLAYS G. Q. P. CANDIDATES AND
 IS OUT FOR BALDWIN
n Letter to Chairman C0nstOek Of Democratic State Commit tee He Tells Why Voters Can Have no Confidence in Republican GubernatOa Nominee Goodwin After
 the Hartford Convention

chine, that tick1es the voters at one end, is turned about to tickle our common enemies with the other. No progressive legislation can be born of this inconsistent percentage and if any shall be, it will be monstrous.'
 While MT. Chase delayed giving full reply to Comstock's request, he indi- cated that he favored Candidate Baldwin, Democratic, over Goodwin Republican, for Governor. MT Chase wrote:
 ''The platforms of both parties be- ing practically the same and both candidates standing upon these plat forms leaves the only question to be determined between them to the good faith of the men themselves and their ability to carry their pledges. No sane man can or dare question Fthe good faith of Judge Baldwin. Of MT. Goodwin, suffice to say, the tree is known by the fruit it bears and like old dog tray, bad company is near"
 ''If a public utilities is enacted or workingmen compensation act which of the two men do the voters asked MT. Chase in his letter s.One whose good faith is unimp or one whose faith must at least be warped by gratitude if not actual eornpulsion?''
 Continuing, he said:
 ''In the thirty years of my poIiti- cal activity, about equally divided between the two great parties, have never seen so much dissatisfaction among the voters of this state as at present. .'

Republican Machine Would Like to Get Rid of the. Western
 End of the Town
Remaining Voters Don't Want to Shoulder Whole of Strat-
 lords Debt of Over $133, ,OOO

tLet Bridgeport take all of Stratford or none of it.''
 That is the slogan uttered to-day by a number of prominent Stratford c1ti- zens, after perusing the plans of the Bridgeport Board of Trade concerning the annexation of a strip of western Stratford. adjoining the eastern boun- diaries of Bridgeport.
 They do not object to the idea of becoming part of Bridgeport, in fact would heartily welcome the anneXa- tion but they do object to Bridgeport's s taking only a part of Stratford and leaving the rest. There are several important reasons.
 In the first place. the Independent voters of Stratford oppose the plan because a large number of residents of the Hollister Heights district, which would be taken into Bridgeport accord ing to the plan as outlined, have shown at the polls that they are opposed to the Republican machine which has so long dominated Stratford.
 To move all these voters into Bridgeport would leave the remainder of Stratford absolutely under the thumb of the Republican machine and without the slightest fear of the bene- fcial check now exercised by the large Democratic and Independent Republf- can vote in the western part of Strat- ford
 Then again the residents of the main portion of the town oppose the idea for another reason. Stratford's in debtedness is over $133,00 The citi- zens object most strenuous1y to the idea of allowing Bridgeport to take a portion of Stratford and number of it's taxpayers, and leave the remain der to shoulder the debt by themselves. Such a policy would be ruinous to the town, from a financial point of view.
 The Republican ring-leaders in Stratford are much pleased with the idea of giving Bridgeport the western portion of the town, and the Demo- crats and fnsurgent' Republicans along with it. The machine men feel that they would much prefer to re- main the absolute rulers of a, small kingdom rather than privates in the ranks of big one.
 Many Stratford people heartily favor the idea of annexation, thinking that it will be a good thing for both Strat- ford and Bridgeport, and is the 1ogi- cal outcome of Bridgeport's growth. But they say, let Bridgeport take all of Stratford. not a part of it. Let all the town of Stratford as far west as Washington bridgs and as far north town debts and all, be included in the annexat tion. if one is made.
 The northern portion of StratfOrd or the Putney and Oronoque districts might be included in the town of Huntington.
 It Is said that the legislature of the state is unalterably opposed to the an nexa tion of towns in the piece-meal manner as announced in the Bridge port plan, and certain it is that any such attempt will meet with the most vigorous opposition on the part of a number of substantial citizens of the

 POLLS NOV. 8
Democratic Party Occupies its \ Rightful Place on the
 Voting Machines

Voters on going into the polling places at the next election on Novem- Der will find the Democratic lever will be topmost on the voting ma- chimes. This is because the State law allows the party which won the last all previous occasions when the vot- ing machines have been used the up- per lever has been the Republican lev CT.
 The sweeping victory of a year ago when Mayor buckingham and the city ticket cleaned up Bridgeport in fine shape also determined the right to the upper lever

his wife, and which she said tine younger Mrs. Bix1ey was accustomed to fasten in her chernise when it was not upon her finger
 The only clothing. of the woman at the morgue was the steamer coat, chemise and, stockings, she wore when the body was taken by the undertak- CTS. Search was made of the .chennise Then James T. Rourke accompanied the woman to the house boat still rnoored at the dock of the Brid dgeport Motor Co.,, and she with the boy who had returned from his visit to the cor oner's office, began a search through the closets and, trunks aboard the boat.
 Young Elliott who had been em- ployed on the boat and in the family for several months, told the elder Mrs. Bix1ey he believed her husband since his last visit her several weeks ago. Mrs. BixIey never had much money on hand. receiving small sums from her husband a few days apart. Mrs. Bixley instructed MT. Rourke to secure an Episcopal clergyman to cQn- duet private funeral services at Rourke & Rourke's undertaking par Iors. The services vii lbe held at 8 tomorrow afternoon and interment will be made in Lakeviw cemetery. No suspicion has been directed to- wards Elliott by any of the BixIey family Coroner Wilson sent the de tective for him at the suggestion of Medical Exa miner Downs. The coro- ner is satisfied that exposure caused the womans death and his finding will not hold any one else responsf- ble.
 Medical Examiner Downs death certificate shows that death was due to odema of the lungs. There were no marks of violence, said the medical examiner. The body is somewhat dis colored, but this is attributed to the length of time the body lay in it's unnatural posture after death.
