CLAIM ENOUGH VOTES
 TO DEFEAT coMsTocK.
insursent Democrats on State Com
 mittee Have Dark Horse.

That victory is in sight is the claim of prominent democrats In New Haven who are interested in the attempt to dump Charles w. Comstock of Mont vile as chairman of the democratic state central committee, which meets at New Haven Saturday to select chairman and secretary. Whether the drive will also extend to Score tary Edwin s. Thomas of Orange, Gov ernor Baldwin's executive secretary, does not appear
 Leaders of the movement of insur- gency against Comstock said Thursday that plans were now complete, that a candidate for the chairmanship has been found and that the fight Is cer- tain. These men claim they have votes enough to defeat Comstock. They pro- fess to have invited State Senator Mahan, committeeman from the Eigh- teenth district, to join them, but re- gardless of whether he does or not. they say they have votes enugh to elect their candidate over Comstock.
 The insurgents candidate is strictly dark horse. Members of the com mittee who are opposed to Comstock will not even hint at his name. They say, however. that he Is member or the state central committee at present and that he is one of the best known democrats in the state and a veteran of many campaigns. It is understood that he has been a candidate on the state ticket in a past campaign. His packers are reticent as to the part of the state their candidate halls from, but politicians in New Haven believe that some democrat in the central part of the state has been selected, and they are of the opinion that man has been chosen who can divide Comstock's SUD- port in his own territory, the Second congressional district. There was much guess work as to the identity of the candidate.
 New Haven politicians believe that unless the insurgents are certain they | have developed strength enough to de- feat Comstock there will be no con- test in Saturdays meeting of the com mitYee. Unless count reveals enough votes to defeat the present chairman he is very likely to get the endorse men" of another unanimous election | they say.

AT DAVIS BROADWAY.
Sensational Vaudeville With Moving
 Pictures.

Three vaudeville acts. any one of which is entitled to a place as leader on a bill, were produced on Thursday at the Davis Broadway theater, put ting the show for the end of the week in class by itself for a moving pie ture house. Descriptions of the mar vicious fail in trying to depict the won derful work of the Ergotti Liliputians, whose feats are only equalled in daring by the marvellous accuracy with which they are done.
 Of an entirely different character is Dan Haley, who takes his audience back to the old minstrel days with his songs and tambourine. After seeing and hearing him rap out every con ceivable sort of time with hands, head. knees. feet. elbows and toes, 1t Is cas- to see why he claims the champion ship. Dan Mason supported by Jack McNamara and Miss Juliette Atkinson in the brisk farce The New Chauffeur. are all that arc to be expected and MT. Mason keeps the fun coming in his German dialect character.
 For the motion pictures there is a highly pleasing selection of instruc- tive and amusing films.
