 Upon the request of Senators Pur-
 cell and Neebe, 1t has been decided
 to call a democratic caucus for next
 Tuesday. probably after the 1egisla-
 live session when action will be taken
 apon the governors nomination of William H. Corbin of Hartford to be tax coEnm;ssioner. Senator Purcell has far been the only conspicuous op- ponent of Ar. Corbin's renomination. 1t has been learned that MT. Purcell appeared before a meeting of the dem ocratic town committee of Hartford Wednesday evening and urged that body to go on record as being opposed to the nomination The committee re- fused to do so. unless Senator John son, the other senator from this dis trict, would stand with Senator Pur- cell in the matter. It is understood that Senator Johnson did not agree with his colleague. and this blocked action. Senator Purcell then decided to request caucus next Tuesday. He says he is opposed to MT. oCrbin on the ground that he is republican and that there are plenty of well qualified dem sorats for the position.
