 MT. Dwyer's letter to Governor Bald win is as follows:
 Bridgeport, Aug. 6, 1918. Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin,
 Governor of Connecticut,
 Hartford, Conn.
 Dear Sir:-I hereby respectfully ten der my resignation as a trustee of the Connecticut School for Boys.
 In presenting this resignation, I de- sire to express my appreciation of the compliment paid me by this appoint deep regard and sincere admiration for you.
 In explaining his unexpected action MT. Dwyer said, this morning:
 My purpose in resigning as a trus- tee of the Connecticut School for Boys IS to SHOW my SSIA1naL6 or I46 VaAu6 Of the political favor which Senator Archibald NfcNeil, Jr., claims to have done for me. By this statement, do not in any way intend to belittle the dignity or importance of the position of trustee of the Reform School. But it is an appointment which never sug- gested itself to me and one which
 1T did not ask Senator McNeil to in tereat himself in obtaining this empty honor for me. He now seeks to justify his desertion Of the men who have always been his loyal and consistent friends in politics by pointing out for them. His noisy and much 4adver- tised pretense in now, for the first time, alIying himself with the Walk er- Russell Boucher faction is farcical to those who are familiar with the inner workings of the local political situation.
 Ever since the breach in the party occurred, he has been secertIy using his influence and spending his money in strengthening that faction, although pretending on the surface to continue his friendly relations with the men who have always sincerely and un- selhsh1y stood with him and made his success in politics possible.
 ''I do not want to have him nnislead any one into the belief that I am un- fer any political obligations to him, because am under none. In his published interviews, he tells the pub l lie what he has done for me by mak- | ng me a. trustee of the Reform School. | This, as I say, did not want, did not ask for and did not know that Senator McNeil was contemplating presenting | my name to the governor. The ap- | 0ointment means nothing to me and | : knew at the time it was made and | A-,-.l McNen to try to convey the fmpres- jon that he was doing something for | ne. This bluff on his part was so transparent, that it is really a re- lection on the intelligence of any man or MT. McNeil to feel that he could get away with it.
 ''As I have said, did not ask Sen tor McNeil to do anything for me.
 cid not want his assistance. I did six him, however, to assist a young -ttorney in his senatoria district to btain a position in the city court. This equest he failed to recognize, because is servile devotion to the Walker aussell- Boucher faction would not al- ow him to do It. In his interview, e says that he assisted ex-Mayor Null ihill to be made a county comTnis- toner and ex-Mayor Buckingham one f the commissioners under the work 1an's compensation act. am cred
  x-Mayor Mulvihin was hypocriticaI nd done only to carry out his game f deception. He voted for MT. Null fhill in the senate when the ballot -aE taken for county commissioners. "A prominent Republican leader of ( ae- House has stated that as soon as nat ballot was taken in the Senate nd the Democratic nominees, includ- lg MT. Mulvihill were elected, Sen 1 1 tor McNeiI hurried over to the House z 2 Representatives and said substan- 1 ally this to the Republican leader: I We'll, they have put MulvihilI across s the Senate and I had to vote for ( i'm in order to save my face in ( but when the old cuss ( ,mes in here, be sure and nail him" C his Republican leader soon after re- ( a ted this conversation to a senator c Id in repeating 1t asked him what he r fought of this hypocrisy on the par:
 Senator McNeil.
 "As for his assistance to Mayor h nottingham, it is well known, and i enator McNei1 cannot deny it. that ,, Senator McNeil, went to the gov nor and asked for the appoin tment j
