tor Murtha has been rendered a

higher state Office.
Another rumor Ia 10 the effect
that Judge Connolly. Democratic
boss OF Michigan. has no intention
OF opposing Marx In the mayoralty
fight. The use OF his name at this
time IL merely 10 discourage other
would-be candidates from crowding
the ring. There IL close alliance
between the Connolly Democrats and
the mem bers OF the Marx machine.
Both Marx and Connolly are liberal

recruiting station In the Hotel Stat
