 Candidates were not discussed dur ing the meeting declared the town chairman today We, in this com mittee, are not concerned with candi- dates at this time. It is our business to elect them after they are nominat- ed. I did not mention any names and never said what I am quoted as say ing. I don't know where the reporter got that dope. He must have been dreaming. Two of the members of the committee could not be present be- cause they have illness at home. They called me on the telephone in the af- ternoon, however, and they will be at the next meeting which is subject to my call. You can say that there is absolute harmony among the members of the committee, we are planning an active campaign and look for success this fall''

JUDSON'S GIFT
 TO STAMFORD
 ALMOST READY
IUnveiling of Memorial Foun- tain, Handsome Sculpture,
 Will Take Place Soon.

The memorial of former States At- torney Stiles Judson left to the town of Stratford, Is completed and will be unveiled in few days. The monu- ment is a very beautiful example of the sculptor's art and will add to the attractiveness of the town. It is the work of Bella Lyon Pratt of Boston, one of the foremost American sculp- tors, who designed the Nathan Halo statue on the Yale campus and other celebrated monuments.
 The statue stands on West Broad street near Main street. The col umn is rmounted by sea gull, re- calling the fact that on his frequent trips to Europe the late Senator Jud- son was accustomed to feed gulls which followed the ship. On one side of the monument is a bronze likeness of Senator Judson under meath which is the inscription Stiles Judson left this to his native town" The inscription on the other side is, "Stratford honors itself by accept ing this memorial from Stiles Judson, a gifted son, public official true to every trust, an able lawyer and a loyal citizen"
 At the base of the monument are fountains for horses, dogs and hu- man beings. The plumbing work has been finished and the water can be turned on at any time now. The memorial was erected as the outcome of a provision in Senator Judson's will wherein he left $5 900 for the pur- pose. Judge Howard J. Curtis and Mrs. Judson were named as a com mittee to take charge of the work. It has not yet been decided just what the nature of the unveiling ceremony will be.
