SENATORIAL CONTEST
 WAGES IN HARTFORD
Congressman Hill Arrives to Assist in the Election of M'Lean, Who Looks
 Like Winner

manager, is positive his figures of two to one over Bulkeley are correct.
 Representative Chandler of Rocky Hill gives Mclean from 112 to 130. Ex-Railroad Commissioner A. F. Gates, Bulkefey's manager, will not talk other than to say that he be- lieves Bulkeley will win.s
 Such betting as is being done is at odds on Mclean and is mainly on his majority. Men who are going to vote against him are betting that his majority doesn't go above 25.
 Little is heard to-day of the scheme to have Senator Judsons name go away from Mclean votes which could not be got for Bulkeley.
 The New York Herald's canvass statements made to the paper over the signatures of men who will vote in to-morrow's caucus. The winner will require 91, and the Herald shows 10S surely for Mclean.
 Senator Brandegee, who left Hart ford last week for hasty trip to Washington, has returned and is do- ing what he can for Bulkeley. It is common report that in private con- versation the junior Senator admits the probable defeat of his colleague. Congressman Hill is also here to work for McLean's election The usual eleventh hour talk is go- ing the rounds but there are not the same possibilities in the situation as two years ago, between Brandegee and Hill.

 CANAAN LICENSES

Appeals have been taken to the Su- perior court from the decisions of theScounty commissioners in granting the liquor applications of Emil An nunciato and Michael Melliero in New Canaan. Today was the time limit for the appeal in the Melliero case. and last Saturday in the other Both were received today, but the Annun- ciato appeal was dated Friday, Janu- ary 6. Counsel for Annunciato can raise the issue before the court that the appeal was not filed within the limit prescribed by law. Annunciato, as the time limit was up Saturds,.. opened for business that evening" He may remain open pending the action at law.
 There is a great deal of ill feeling in New Canaan over the granting of the two licenses. The remOnstrantS are willing to have one saloon in the town run by an Italian, but will not stand for two, they say

 you can say it was just the re- suit of a drunk" commented Griffith, last night. while his wife stood by and nodded her approval.
 "Of course I had to have him ar rested to get my diamond ring" said Mrs. Griffith.
 And of course I had to spend thrLe days in the Tombs prison,'' said Grif- filth pulling a long face.
 And of course the authorities know all about the circumstances and have dropped the case" added Mrs Grif- filth.
 And the less said about it the bet ter" conluded Griffith.
 He denied that he is going to his fathers sanitarium at Greenville. N. C., as reported, but said that he is going South on business connected with his occupation as an automobile sales man.

ALDERMEN WOULD SUPERINTEND NEW
 $IOO,OOO BRIDGE

The AIdermanic committee appoint ca to investigate the Fest Washing ton Avenue bridge, has decided to recommend to the Common council the building of new bridge to cost $lOO,O00 and will also recommend that the comn1mittee in charge of the erection of the new structure be com posed exclusively of aldermen
 After meeting with City Engineer Maurice McKenna and former City En- gineer Horace Scofield, the committee learned that it would cost about S2S,OOO to build new piers for the present structure, and then the bridge would be no better than it is now. So far as the general public fs concerned. and would be inadequate for the future.
 So the committee has decided to recommend the building of a new bridge of larger dimensions, at a to- tai cost of $100,OO0.

 Hartford. Jan. 9--The Republican caucus on the nominees for the Sem atet here to succeed Senator Morgan E. Bulkeley comes tomorrow after nooon at o'clock and to-day legis- iators and politicians from all corners of the state began assembling in this city. The hotel Hobbies already have the appearance associated with state convention. Both Senator Bulk eley and ex-Governor George P. Mo Lean, the rival candidates. have headquarters at the Allyn House and their rooms are seething. The eau GUS will probably be presided over by Speaker Frederick A. Scott of the House of Representatives land the vote will be taken by roll call, some thing which has not been done in re- cent years in Connecticut. It is fig ured that the roll call vote will be greatly to McLean's advantage inas- much as he has so large propor- ton of the legislators from Hartford and New Haven counties, the first to be called. Bulkeleys strength in New Lindon County, the third on the list. comes less than had been sup posed and if Fairfield County, where Senator Judson. Sheriff Hawley and State Chairman Kenealy have been busiiy at work of late, shows Bulke- ley strength it will be followed by Lftchfleld County where Mclean has 2S votes solid.
