William F Russell Offers Unanimous
 Nomination to Mayor Buckingham Price of
 Written Corrupt Promise -'No,' Says Mayor

Mayor Buckingham when seen today relative to the Democratic nomination for mayor, made the following statement
 .I expect be nominated by the Democratic ton tonight expect it because there is every why should receive it and why should not. have been assured right along by the district leaders and active workers of the party that the nomination would be rendered to without opposition Relying that as surance, contest was made by my behalf in any district In several of the districts, where contest promised to be made, used my influence to withdraw all opposition and avoid controversy. did this the fn ,terest of harmony for the party and relying upon the statements and promises of the party leaders, If the nomination should by any chance be taken away from me- it will only be through gross deception and base trick cry and do not think that the honest judgment of the Democratic convention going to sanction it. The only possible pretext that be offered for withholding this nomination from me- at this late hour refusal to make written promise to William F. Russell Mr. Rus sell approached me two days ago and told that if certain appointment after election that the nomination. would be mine unanimously told Mr. Russell that such proceeding my part would not only be dshonorabe but would be in violation of the law of the state and ab soute refused to do it This request for the perform by of huiiatng, dishonorabe and illegal act is being used by certain among the delegates the chief for giving the nomination to else
 do not think that the intelligence and indeness of the delegates of the Democratic convention will permit them to be swayed into doing unjust and ecetul act any such pretext If compliance with Mr. Russell's request would make governor of the state would not accede to it. It would bebeneah the dignity of my office and would be in violation of the law All that say that my will be presente3 to the convention to- night and expect the support of all the delegates not in sympathy with such trickery.
 Upon the evidence thus far presented to my atten- ion must refuse to believe that the nominations tonight will be in influenced by John T. King and other representatives of the opposing organization

Driven Out Of
 Righ1 Mind By
 Vicious Assault

Believed by the authorities to have been so badly beaten that he is tenn porarily insane, Ivor Hegelin, of Nor- wich, was taken to the Lakeview home today for observation.
 Hegelin was waylaid Saturday night and beaten up by a gang of thugs. So bad were his injuries that he was confined to his room in a Water street lodging house until yesterday, when he was able. to get out and complain to the police. He stated that he was robbed of $45 and a gold watch, in addition to the beating he received. , The police arrested Edward Kelly of Boston, Mass. wharf lounger. on suspician.
 Last evening Hegelin, apparently out of his head, ensconced himself in the top floor of the West End post office, thrust his head out of the win dow. and yelled s4ustily for the po- lice.
 Patrolman Jack McGirr was dis succeeded in getting Hegelin to come by some means, and declared that a gang of negroes, armed with shotguns were pursuing him.
 This morning Kelly was released in the city court and Hegelin was taken to Lakeview home for investigations There is no doubt as to his having been ssbeaten up' as his mashed face amply testifies, but the authorities now have their doubts as to the rest of his story. They are inclined to be- lieve however that the assault upon him has temporarily driven him in- sane

CLEVER ACTING SAVED M'COURT
 FOR SHORT TIME
Conductor Brought to This City. Today to Answer to
 Charge of Enbezzlement

Robert McCourt, formerly employed here as conductor by the Connecticut company, was brought here today on the Charge of embezzlement. It is al- leged that he decamped with a days collections. l
 McCourt was released from the New Haven jail today after serving two months for embezzlement from the Connecticut company there. Detective Peter Hall of the local force brought him to this city.
 McCourt, who was an actor, worked a slick trick on the Connecticut com panyr but was captured despite it.
 When he went into the concern s employ here and was photographed for Identification in case of trouble, as it is the company's rule. He made up'' fake face for himself and the resulting photograph was nothing like his real continuance. His training as an actor stood him in good stead in carrying out this little comedy.
 After he had left Bridgeport he ap- piled for work with the company in New Haven. Although the company had sent out his photographs and de- tectives were on the lookout for him, he again made u3" his face and again escaped detection.
 In New Haven. however, he was s'caught in the act'' by spotters and the trick of the double photographs was then discovered and he was Identified as the man wanted in Bridgeport.

EXPLORER FLEES l. FROM CHINESE CAPITAL TODAY Believed He Has Gone to Mukden and Placed Him.

 Protection Rebellion Spreading Over Country Like Prairie Fire and Troops Continue to Mutiny.
Special from United Press.)

Special from United PresS.)
 belfion continues to spread like a prairie fire, today. Towns are fall- ing before the revolutionists, troops are multiplying and Manchu dignitaries being murdered in every direction.
 Cheng Tu, capital Szechuen prov ince, is the latest city to throw off the imperial allegiance. The troops seiz- ed it and declared for republic. Gen. eral Chao Erh-Fag, in command of the garrison is reported killed by his own men. Confirmation of the report that General Lin Chang, commanding the imperial force north of aHankow, was assassinated, is lacking. Some reports say he was killed in battle with the rebels, who have routed his army of 10000 men.
 A native paper prints a story of the rebel capture of Canton but the source of the information is not given. It is said the revolution there was bloody. Wire communication through out the country is so interrupted that details and verification of rumors reach here, slowly.
 : All accounts seem to agree that the roadway to Pekin is practically wide open to the rebels and that General Lii Yuen Hung, the rebel leader, is rallying his men at Hankow for an immediate advance. 1t is believed the emperor has fled or is about to flee from the capital to Mukden, to place himself under the protection of a Japanese force of 10, GOO said to have bean sent by the Mikado to see that the ruler is not killed by his own sub jects.
 Barring foreign intervention, it is considered certain that the Manchu dynasty will be overthrown.

No Foul Play Found
 In Brennan's Death

Under circumstances that at first led to a suspicion of foul play and resulted in the police starting an in- vestigation the body of Patrick Bren- Graphophone Co. was found in his home, 39 Dewey court, yesterday af- ternoon.
 Subsequent investigation by Medical Examiner Garlick cleared the suspi- cion of foul play. He found death due to hemorrhages. The body was thrust forward upon a table and there was evidence of a profuse hemorrha ge when his little daughters, of whom three ranging from 2 to 10 survive, dis covered it.
 Dr. c. c. Hoyt was called by neigh bors and he summoned the medical examiner. The remains were taken to the city morgue, at Rourke & Rourke's. Mrs. Brennan died but a fortnight ago.

Does John T. King control the Dem ocratic organization, backed by the money, means and influence of the public service corporations?
 Has he obtained control of impor- tant Democratic leaders in the same way that he obtained control of inn portant Republican leaders, two years ago. during the Lake-Goodwin fight.
 Many developments in Democratic politics, within a few days point to a close alliance and understanding among certain Democratic leaders and the King element in the Republican party.
 Some of these indications are fre- quent meetings and confabs in offices which the two groups of leaders mu- tually frequent.
 Other indications are that news of projected Democratic action has come first from the King headquarters.
 Also some of the suspected leaders have been closely associated with the Republican leaders in working on the floor of theeCommon Council to pre- PtAS6C6O utmost importance.
 It is considered probable at this time that light may be thrown upon the methods which were used, and it is believed that these same methods are now employed to get Democratic 1ead- CTS to discard Mayor Buckingham who has favored municipal ownership +ID iro+ plo $Ie Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. to give up sums amounting to more than s200,00C and otherwise incurred the enmity of the King interests.
 Prior to the nomination of the Re publican ticket stories were current that weak places would be left for the benefit of certain Democratic candi- dates. The Republican ticket shows just what it had been said would ap- pear.
 Take the Republican nominee for city clerk, if the city of Bridgeport had been raked fore and aft weaker man could not have been found Can didates who sought the nomination for that office and who would have commanded the full party strength were turned down by Mr. Kings con- ventiOn.
 Why, was this done?
 Let the answer come from one of the best known Republicans in Bridgeport who is posted on what's doing. He said today that the machine would see to it that Mitchell's vote would ba reduced in ayory d;S+r;o+ to just the extent of the power of the crowd Mitchell he said was put up to be knocked down.

for tax collector Cooney himself pub for tax collector. Cooney himself pub ! ilicly announced that under no circum stances would he go on the ticket. H. knew that he could not defeat Don | nelly for tax collector but when ht got the tip that Donnelly was to bs forced out of the tax collectorship ana to take his chances.
 So Cooney was nominated. Democrats familiar with politics are proclaiming today their anger tha1 the King headquarters should have advance Knowledge of Democratic matters that it has been exhibiting. But the most disgraceful part o1 the situation is to come. Prior to the Democratic primaries the faction which is opposed to Mayor Bucking. ham suggested that in the interest o1 party harmon the administration, as an administration, ought not to in- terfere in any district contests. The mayor believed that this was wise party policy, and the administration preserved strictly neutral position Mayor Buckingham was assured by some of the leaders now openly ar rayed against him that there would be no opposition to his renom1nation
 Following the primaries a Demo cratic boss came to the mayor and demanded that he carry out demands which they made.
 He demanded promises and in writ ing.
 Mayor Buckingham flatly refused to comply.
 His refusal was based upon indig- nation that such a demand should be made upon him and in the belief tha, he would be false to his office and his party if he assented.
 When Mayor Buckingham refused tt sign a written pledge, he was inform ed, through the boss who made the demand, that he, Buckingham, would not be renominated, because of his refusal
 The choice of the boss opposed to Buckingham is Tax Collector John M Donhelly MT. Donnelly said last night with much positiveness that he did not want and would not take the nomination. He yielded only, it is understood that his nomination for tax collector would be taken away.
 Town Clerk Thomas has refused a demand made upon him by the boss not to reappoint his assistant Clerk Mullins. The demand came from the same interests that opposed Mayor I/iy F, nominated, despite his firm refusal to enter into a deal.
 It is believed that there is not money

enough in Bridgeport to get major ity of the delegates to vote against Buckingham under conditions so shameful
 Do the Democratic delegates com- posed as they are largely of honest men believe it is fair to Mayor Buck ingham to deny him a renomination after the assurances given him that his name would be the only one pre- sented and in view of the fact that he stopped his friends in a number of instances from having delegates fa- vorable to him at the primaries. Is it fair? Is it the way to bring about harmony when the prospects look so bright for a complete party victory. Think it over gentlemen before it is too late.

KaIser Will Get
 After Italy For
 Shooting German
Especial from United Press,

Especial from United Press.)
 Berlin, Oct. 26-Germany will call Italy strictly toa account, it is learned from semi-officfal sources, today, for the shooting at Tripoli, of Hussein Ben Ahmed, German consular "ca- vass' whom court martial had found guilty of murdering an Italian artiI- leryman in front of the consulate.
 From the fact that the man was a native of Fezzan, the affair is not considered quite so serious as if he had been a German. Still, it is felt that his connection with the Kaiser's consulate should have made the -Ital- ian military authorities far more care full in disposing of him than they seem to have been. It is recalled that other Germans have received similar sum- mary treatment at the hands of the Italians invaders and Germany is not in a frame of mind to submit to such actions.
