Fairfield Looks
 Like Thirsty Town
Seven Applicants For Licenses and Many Witnesses Appear For and Against Prospective Dealers

There is great scramble for 1i- quor licenses in the Villa park sec- tion of Fairfield. large delegation visited the county court house this morning to tell the county, commis- sioners about the situation in that sec tion where seven applications have been filed. Fairfield is entitled to only five new saloons under the sta- tutes So some of the applicants are sure to be disappointed. It is said that the commissioners SWill not grant more than three licenses at the most liberal estimate.
 Those who have applied are Good Luck Dick Lombard, Leonardo Gras- so, Paul Mullins, Peter Medeve, Cas- par Kuhn and Jacob Lomintzer. Att torney Bacon Wakeman of Fairfield led the remonstrants and he told the commissioners he was taking care of the case without pay. He thought the section was unsuitable for saloons A vicinity appeared against the appli- cants.
 Among those in favor was Joseph Walsh of Fairfield who said he thought it better to have saloons than to have the residents "do a Caledonian" into Bridgeport to get liquor. Andrew Duka, a druggist appeared in favor of one of the applicants, although he wanted to have everybody understand that he isn't a drinking man him. self. The commissioners reserved de- cision on the applications.

 The first manifestation of violent displeasure with the 'tcompromise" was when word was sent into the Ninth district to call in the Wilson delegation. The delega ton promptly refused, it is said, to do any such thing.
 Prominent Wilson workers, men wh0 promoted his candidacy. as they be. lieved, to clean up obnoxious clements in their party, immediately determin- ed to urge him to cut loose from Ilis new friends. Some of them, late thio afternoon, had been so unsuccessful in their mission as to reach the conc1u- sion that Coroner Wilson desired to avoid them

The latest developments in the rush for the Republican nomination for mayor today indicate that an arrange ment has been reached between the King and Wilson forces which will probably result in the displacement of Chamberlain and the nomination of the coroner and former alderman provided he and King jointly have delegates enough to control the con- vention.
 to have developed much strength The King forces seem to be in complete possession of the field and confront ed by but one serious obstacle, name ly, Harbormaster Charles H. Morris who will have delegate tickets in eight districts, and who will neither abandon nor compromise his demand for 8 change in the party rules provid- ing for direct primaries.
 Beginning yesterday about dinner time, there were a series of discus sions. The first was between A. E. Lavery and John T. King in the of sfice of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co.
 A little later Lavery, King, Town Chairman Farwell. and Judge Carl tlfer meeting took place in the ''mys- terious'' office in the Newfield build ing, from whose doors issued the in- fluences that controlled the last Re- publican convention for Goodwin, al- though the primaries had chosen dele gates favorable to Lake for the Re- publican nomination for governor. To this conference came Judge E. K. Nicholson, it is asserted, and represen- tatives of the group that has been promoting Coroner Wilson's campaign The detail of what transpired is un- known But in general terms if seems that the King and {W:ssol forces reached atl understa riding oy which Wilson will be nominatea 9th. CT places on the ticket will go to the King group. and the patronage will be long to that group. lis It is understood that the King grouE were influenced to the conference and coalition between Wilson and Arnold which might have beaten the organi- zation. There was also the risk though not a large one, that Wilson and Arnold might throw their strength to Morris, and it was considered prac- tically certain that the three candi- dates would jointly control the con- vention.
 By compromising with Wilson the King forces believe they have in- creased their chance of controlling the convention against Harbormaster. Morris and they have gained certain important matters for the future among which is control of Bridgeport part in the state machine. next fall It is believed that the King tactics will be to adjourn the convention un- til the fall when it will be assembled
