brought by the Democratic contest
ants in the State Senate, which has
created considerable interest in both
parties because If they eliminate
successfully both branches of the
legislature would be controlled by
the Democracy public sentiment ls
largely conferred in the senatorial
contest
While no definite time has been
fixed as yet tits generally believed
here that the Democratic caucus to
determine the Organization OF the
two houses WILL be held on Tuesday
night, January 10, but that the sen
atorial caucus will be postponed ua-
til a later date as the statute does
not require the. election OF the sena-

named as the leader of his party.
1t can be said that there are four

none, but his name will go before
the caucus and he and his friends

Assurance that Chiffon is making
an earnest fight for the prize is taken
to mean that there will be renewal

BAN LIFTED FROM :
 NEW HAVEN ARMORY

New Haven, Feb. 24-A storm of protest by local miiitiamen which fol- lowed the order issued by Adjutant General George M. Cole, closing the Second Regiment armory. in this city to all but affairs of a military nature, not quite two weeks ago.. resulted in a second order, received by the arm orer here yesterday, which mod fies the previous one to a great extent and which will allow some of the so- cial functions to be held in the build ing providing the galleries are kept closed. Although, militiamen will not be given their previous liberties with the armory dances will be allowed and the building will be sreopened Saturday night for the Second Regiment. bands dance, after being closed for two weeks.
 The inner significance of both or ders, according to a local officer of the regiment, is that the armory is not cons dered safe if galleries are used during celebrations of a social nature, as 1t is believed a fire, break ing out. might cut off the escape of occupants above the dancing floor. It is stated on authority that can not be questioned, that the Yale Junior prom enade and the police ball are not in cluded in the new order, however, but it was h;nted that before the time for these events repairs may be made to the arnory which will not only enlarge 1t but will make it compara- lively safe, so far as fires are con- cerned.
