HUXF0RDLIkELY
TO Be CHOSEN
HOUSE LEADER
If Healy Again Is Named
Speaker, Stamford Man
May Have Honor.

Hartford, Nov. 15.-The prospec.
tive organization of the general as
sembly. which convenes in January
is engaging public interest. The Re
publicans will organize the session
Speaker Frank E. Healy has been re-
elected by his town. Windsor Locks
and some of the prognosticators have
it that he will be unopposed for the
speakership. In that event it is in
Dictated that the house leadership, on
the majority side, will fall to Fred
eric III. Huxford of Stamford. It was
gossip at the close of the last assem-
bly,. that in the event that Mr.. Healy
did not return to the house, Mr.. Hux-
ford would seek the speakership.
The Stamford member served in the
Mouse in the session of 1909, 1911 and
1915. At the 1913 session Stamford
was represented by democrats. In
the first two sessions Mr.. Huxford
served on the judiciary committee.
Last session he was house chairman of
the committee on interpretations,
which handled number of impor-
tant matters. He is a native of SIAM
ford. born August s, 1874, and was
graduated from Yale university in
1898, and from Harvard Law school in
1901. He has served as prosecuting
attorney and corporation counsel of
his home town.
In the event that Mr.. Healy does not
care for the speakership and the gavel
is allotted to Harry E. Back, of Kill
lingly, Arthur w. Marsden Of Madison,
Colonel Robert o. Eaton of North Ha-
ven, Colonel Charles M. Jarvis Of Ber-
lin, F. M. Peasley of Cheshire, or some
other Of the experienced hands. an
other selection for house leader might
be the result. But the best informa-
ton is that the speakership will again
be filed by the Windsor Locks mem
Der. Good committee places will
probably be awarded to the men who
have been mentioned. Other Repub-
lican members who will be taken care
of in committee appointments, will in
clude Arthur E. Bowers of Manches-
ter, Charles J. Martin of Ornage, .Ad-
miral w. Sheffield Cowles Of Farming
ton, Samuel Russell of Middletown.
A. J. Bailey of Norwich, w. M. Foord
of Stamford, and w. II. Head Of Stat

In the Democratic minority will be
men of ability, such as the Hartford
members, Messrs. Hamersley and Cor
