 Capt. Paul Boyton, wh6 had charge of the island during the past sum mer, is on trial for violation of the Sunday law and for conducting a place where admission is charged for dancing Capt. Boyton pleaded not guilty and intends to fight the case to a finish.
 The talesmen were asked if they thought it wrong to dance on sun day and many answered in the mega tive Some said they didn't care II it didn't bother them and others de- clared they thought Sunday dancing was all right anyway.
 At 12:30 D. m. only nine jurors hao been chosen and the panel of A was exhausted.
 Judge Burnes of Greenwich, who presided in the absence of Judge Walsh, then adjourned court until z this afternoon. Meanwhile deputy sheriffs were instructed to go out and get a new panel.

OUTLOOK FOR
 CONNECTICUT
 CONGRESSMAN
Especial from United Press.

New Haven. Nov. 22.-The Con gressional elections, in Connecticut, although still year away, are being discussed, today. In Hartford, Con being rehearsed and at New London, Congressman Higgins.
 The situation in Congressman ReiMy's district is decidedly novel, politicians pointed out, today. On the head of having New Haven and didates in the new Third district will be elected from New Haven, Meriden and a few small towns immediate vicinity of these places Middlesex County, of the old Congressional dis trict, is in the new Second district The office of Congressman-at-larg having been abolished what will be- come of Congressman John o. Tilson is giving his friends considerable worry.
 He is slated to run against Reilly. Andrew Sheppard, of Portland, who spent a 'bunch'' of money in vain effort to defeat Reilly. last election, is now in Congressman Higgins dis trict. It is doubtful if nominee from Middlesex County stands a chance to secure the nomination in the 2nd district against candidates man Higgins comes from Norwich and Bryan F. Mahan, Democratic White Hope" halls from New London. Wind ham and Holland Counties, also in the new 2nd district, have an affinity for New London County and would hard ly warm up to a Middlesex candidate, it is said. Politicians figure that Andy has been lost in the shuffle.
 District one, Hartford County, and District four, Fairfield County, pre- sent similar problems. Congressman Henry, in Hartford County, is expect ed to be renominated by the Republi- have not yet come to the fore al- though, with the renewed hope of suc- cess in Democratic circles, there is expected to be plenty of ambitious men ready to serve the people.
 In Fairfield county, Democratic hopes run high and the fight for the chance to defeat Congressman Hill is expected to be better. Hills friends, on the other hand, have never conced- ed the Democrats claims of improved chances in the new district and are prepared to put up a great fight to keep the veteran legislator at Wash ington
 The new Fifth district, including Litchfield county, Waterbury, Ansonia, Derby and surrounding towns in New Haven county. presents the greatest uncertainty today according to the political wiseacres.
 But here, too, no trouble is expected in finding plenty of candidates in all parties. Waterbury will have to be counted upon in this connection and the chances are considered bright for Waterburians copping the honors, al- though there are plenty of Winsteders with an eye on the nominations.
