 J. Harry Crossleys will likely be named for mem Der of the board or education. to succeed A. w. Bell w. R.. Webster, the other retiring mem Der of this board will be renoninar- ed.
 Some one to succeed Albert B. La very as member of the Republican State Central committee from the 2Srd Senatorial district is what the Republicans are seeking.
 Arthur F. Connor of the 18th vot- ing district has been consd dered for the place but he does not care for it. Alex Robinson, who is city clerk as well as Republican town chairman has been considered but when the subject was broached to him, MT. Robinson said he already had as much on his hands as he could at tend to and he expects and will un- doubtedly get, a reelection as Re publican town chairman.
 Now the talk has. centered about Howard S. Challenger, one of the leading newsdealers and a, member of the board of education. MT. Chal- lenger is at present out of the city on his vacation. His friends have been boosting him for the nomination for senator from the 23rd district, but they think he could handle the state central committee job. as well.
 Arthur M. ComIey, at present Re publican chairman of the Ninth dis trict and brother of City Attorney William H. Con1ley, Jr., would like the nomination as senator from the 23rd. He would also like to be the state central committeeman from this district but the Republicans do not want him.. MT. Com1ey has decided to be candidate for the nomination for senator from the district but he will not try for the committee Until he consults with his brother. The latter is away on a. vacation but is expected to return to Bridgeport be- fore the gathering of the Republican night.
 Mir Laveryr is also out of the city on a vacation and is not expected back until after the selection of the com mitteemen from Bridgeport is made known.
 As yet there is no opposition to John M. O'Conne1l, former alderman from the Eight district, who wants the Republican nomination. for sen ator from the 22nd district
 Edward B. Garlick, better known as %Earl,'a who is assistant clerk Of the city court wants the Republican nomination for senator from the 21st district. Atty. Garlick in seeking the nomination is laying an anchor to the windward to protect his Job. Alder man Malcolm MacFayden has been mentioned as possible candidate and one Bridgeport newspaper has stated that the Republicans twill mot give him the nomination. The truth of the matter is that the alderman can have most anything he wants in the gift of the Republicans in the dis trict in which he lives. He thinks he cannot find the time from his bus mess to go to Hartford but he can have the nomination if he wants it despite the ambition of Atty. GarIick In the Fourth district Atty. A. S. f GeIdulig has with drawn from the race for the Republican nomination for aI- derman. Atty Ralph T. Beers will probably be named without opposi- ton. Atty. GeIdu1ig was a candidate e last year but was defeated by Alder man Daniel B. Walker. Het felt that he was entitled to another chance this year. But his friends and workers in the Fourth district have asked him to withdraw in the interest of harmony | and they will urge him for. appoint ment as assistant prosecutor of the city court should the Republicans win ] this fall.
