New Britain EEMayor Favored
 for Nomination for Governor

New Haven, Aug. .12.-George M Landers of New Britain, was in town yesterday, conferring with Attorney David E. Fitzgerald, relative to set ting the date for the next democratic state central committed meeting, in order that 1t may not conflict with the date of the big, ratification meet ing to be held here the week of Au- gust 21. The state central eomfittee will n9eet during the latter part of AugusEAs An extreme effort will be made the barbecue committee to secure Ex-Governor Martin Glynn. of New York for speaker at the barbecue, or John Burke. ex-governor. of South Dakota, now United States treasurer. In the event of neither of these speakers being able to come here former Governor David I. Walsh of, Massachusetts may be brought heres. The fact that so many of the chief democratic speakers have been called into Maine on the speaking tour makes it rather difficult to get speak CTS of national reputation.
 MT. Landers would say nothing rel ative to the gubernatorial situation in the party. There Is undoubtedly a strong sentiment for him in various parts of the state, and In spite of his coyness about the nomination there are some who think he could be per- suaded to run this year. Two new names have been mentioned for the nomination, one of them. John Can field, of Fairfield, a former partner of the late Stiles Judson. There seems to be quite a deal of sentiment for him in Hartford and Fairfield coun- ties. Morris Seymour, president of the state bar association, and a mem Der of the board of pardons, Is also l favorably mentioned for the honor of | running for chief executive of the state. Neither of these gentlem CT has held elective office in the state
 though both have been the recipients
 Of professional and party honors. E. Kent Hubbard of Middletown 1 who has been named as nominee fo governor, may be drafted to run fo, lieutenant governom and Senator Weed of New Canaan or Senator Minor of New London, if the easterr part of the state Is to be honored or the state ticket, as is probable, max be proposed for the same office. The democrats aim to represent all sec. tions in the distribution of honors Henry Jordine of New London, a for. n1er nominee for congress, is also a possibility for lieutenant governor.
 Henry Koppelman of Hartford may secure the nomination for secre- tary of state. Among others men tioned is Thomas J. Kyle of Stamford stephen Whitney of this city, is a new entrant in the prospective race, and Henry Stremlau of Meriden, president Of the state federation of labor may secure the nomination for either this office or that of comptroller He will be placed somewhere on the ticket.
 Treasurer Roberts may be drafted again to run for office He Is a strong vote getter, as has Ebeen proven in previous contests. sIudge Addis of New Milford or Judge Noone of Rockville have been mentioned for the same office. Thomas Hewes of Pennington may get on the state ticket, too owing to his popularity and Svote getting qualities
