Plan to Put Over Bartlett for Judge Alarms Friends
 of Present Incumbent
MEETING AT e. O. P.
 CLUB ROOMS TONIGHT
J. HI. Crossley Fosters Move; ment to Thwart Machines
 Plans to Gust Wilder

An effort to retain Frank L. Wilder as deputy judge of the city court and John Packer Gray as assistant prose cutting attorney is reflected in4the plan of the First district Republicans who have called a, meeting to organize a district club this evening at Republi can headquarters in Fairfield avenue. The organization while ostensibly re- ceiving the support Of the town com rnittee realizes that the plan for or ganization is but a. drive to help Dep Assistant Prosecutor Gray has been brought into the movement in the hope that hds efforts to retain his posi- ton will help Judge Wilder.
 Although it was reported today that J. HaIry CTossleys weA known insur- ance agent and read estate man, was back of the movement to retain Judge Wilder and that Mr. Crossley would be elected president of the club which is to be organized tonight. MT. Cross ley refused to discuss the subject to- day. Judge Wilder also refused to say anything concerning his chances or his ambitions lregarding the city court.
 At the present time it is conceded in Republican political circles that Att torney Frederic A. Bartlett president pro tenn. of the state seante, win be made judge of the city court There are candidates for every other office in that trilbuT1al.
 At present the lineup seems to be Bartlett for judge ;GarIick, the present assistant clerk, for depqu4y Judge; De- Laney for prosecuting attorney; Rob Eert H. Gould for assistant prosecuting attorney; Hugh J. Lavery for clerk, and either ~Abe s, GelduIig or Tdaeo- dore E Steiber for assistant clerk.
 Friends Of Judge Wilder, who liyes in the First district and of Assistant Prosecutor Gray, who lives in the Fifth district, are expected to rally this evening in response to the call, Town Chairman Robinson is prepared will be to prevent any endorsement of any candidate and to especially@ pre- vent any action which will tend to in terfere with the program for the city court appointments already agreed on among the members of the Republican town conanai ittee.

NO MONEY YET
 FOR ADDITION TO C0UN TY COUR [ H0USE E

The county commissioners today de- nied the story published in a morn ing paper that ground would be brok- en soon for the long contempla1ed addition to the county courthouse. The commissioners said they had no appropriation yet for the new build ing and could do nothing until the funds were available
 It is hoped that the General Assem- bly,, now in session twill SC it's way clear to authorize the appropriation so that thereS will not be any more de- lays in starting the work. Progress in the legislatufe is apt to be slow, however, and for that reason the com Inissioners are taking no steps at present to break ground for the new structure
 Bids for the sale of the Hall home will be received bv the commission CTS until tomorrow This building occupies land on which the court house addition will be erected and it is necessary to have the old struc- ture razed before anything else can be started.
