DENNIS J.CAYNOR PASSES AWAY AT ACE OF SEVENTY
Prominent Manufacturer Dead After Illness of
 Many Weeks.

Dennis !. Gaynor. president of the Gaynor Manufacturing Co.,. and for many years Q respected resident o1 this city, died thds afternoon at his home, 972 Broad street. Stratford Death followed an illness of several weeks duration and was due to a complication of ailments. MT. Gay nor had been gradually sinking for the past two weeks and his life was de- spaired of for several days. This morning he suffered another sinking spell and his family was summoned They were at the bedside when the end came at o'clock this afternoon
 Despite his 70 years, MT. Gaynor was active in business until last July. He was daily at the factory of tho Gaynor Manufacturing Co., and his entire working day was devoted to actual supervision of manufacturing processes in the factory.
 In July MT. Gaynor was taken i'll and was prevailed upon to retire from active business. Since that time he remained at his home in Stratford, and has been under a physicians care for most of the time. His wonderful vitality enabled him to fight off the illness for many weeks before taking to his bed.
 MT. Gaynor was born in Barana- darah, Queens County, Ireland, on August 24, 1s46. He was the son of John and Mary (MulhalD Gaynor. He came to America with his parents at the age of four, first settling in Union vile, N. Y. Two years later his fam fly removed to Waterbury.
 In Waterbury, MT. Gaynor learned the brass business, and became promi- aent in that industry. His genial per- sbnality and splendid character were soon recognized by his townsfolks and for three successive terms he was elected city treasurer.
 In, 1874 he was married to Miss Charlotte Gibson, of Waterbury. Ten children were born to this union, of whom six survive. In 1887, MT. Gay nor removed to Bridgeport. where he founded the Mitchell Co.,, ,man- ufacturers of brass goods. then located at Oak and George streets.
 This company was reorganized g few years ago as the GGynor Manu- featuring Co. A new factory was built in Stratford, and it was that he might be nearer to his business that MT. Gaynor removed to that town two years ago.
 During his long residence in this city, Mr. Gaynor earned the friendship and respect of a wide circle of ac- uuaintances. Though a life-long Dem ocrat, MT. Gaynor did not seek public honors in this city, his political activi- ties being confined to those of an earn est worker for his party.
 Surviving MT. Gaynor are his wife. a brother, John F. Gaynor, and a sis ter, Mrs. Mary Brown. residing at 97z Noble avenue; two daughters, Miss Charlotte R. Gaynor of Stratford. and Mrs. William A. Styles, of Montreal; and four sons. Arthur c. Gaynor, of Bridgeport; Frank A. Gaynor. law yer of New York; Joseph F. Gaynor, of Bridgeport; and Edwin c. Gaynor of Stratford. Arthur, Joseph and Ed win Gaynor were associated with their father in the Gaynor Manufacturing company.

BULL MOOSE OF STATE PLAN 10
 CONTINUE FIGHT
Will Keep Party Principles Alive, Say Delegates at
 New Haven.

New Haven. Sept. 19-A number of Progressive party members met here today to discuss political conditions as they relate to their party, to choose state chairman to fill the vacancy which came about by the resignation of Joseph w. Alsop, of Avgon, to elect a treasurer and to plan for the cam paign. The call was issued by J. B. Smith, of Orange. The number of members who had responded at noon was not large. Most of them were men who took prominent part in the Progressive campaigns of 1912 and 1914 in Connecticut.
 F. M. Chase. who had charge of the Progressive state headquarters in Hartford, four years ago, looked in upon the gathering. The guest of the day was Bainbridge Colby, of New York, who was met by delegation upon his arrival.
 The Progressives sat down to lunch about 1 o'clock and later they were to meet to discuss party affairs. Several members said they did not believe any suggestion would be offered to put a ticket in the field or to come out for endorsement of any candidate of any other party. The main idea would be to continue the organization against a time when it might be needed.
 As to endorsement of any candi- date of the Democratic or Republican party, members pointed out that they felt it to be e/wisdom to adhere to the sentiment of the Indianapolis confer ence, which was to let every Progress i've use his own judgment this fall.
 MT. Colby was to address the meet ing after the luncheon.

JUDGE BEARDLSEY.
 TO BE NOMINATED. TO TOCOvERN0RSHIp.
New Haven Delegates Pledge Support to Bridge
 port Candidate.

Judge Morris B. Beardsley, of Bridgeport, will be nominated for gov- ernor by the Democratic state conven- ton which will hold it's opening ses- sion this evening at Music hall, New Haven. The nominations will be made tomorrow.
 Attorney Charles s. Canfieid, of this city, will present Judge Boards ley's name to the convention and there will be several seconding speeches. It is probable that Judge Beardsley's name will have no oppo- sition and that the nomination will be by exclamation. New Haven Demo- crats, at their city convention last night, instructed their 25 delegates for Judge Beardsley.
 It is understood that Former Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin will nominate Ma tional Committeeman Homer S. Cum mings, of Stamford, for United States Senator. The New Haven delegation is also pledged to the support of MT. Cummings whose nomination un- doubtedly will be unanimous.
 The other offices in the state ticket probably will be filled with the same despatch that will characterize the nominations for tho major office. At torney Francis P. Guilfoyle. of Wa tcrbury. seems to have no opposition for the nomination as lieutenant- governor.
 Former Senator Alton P. Miner of New London, is mentioned for comp troller. while George Ulrich, of Hart ford, may be the choice for treasurer. Jason P. ThompsQ,. a, New Haven (Continued on Page 2.)
