BRETON VS. LEONARD
Local Boy Meets Champion in Sleepy Town TomorrOv-ReisIer and Dempsey Come to Terms.

New York, June 24.-Benny Leon- ard comes back into his own in Phlla- delphia tomorrow night. The light weight champion of the world has not engaged in a real ring tiff in many, many months, and there is great cu riosity among his admirers as to what the long layoff has wrought in his fighting technique.
 Benny naturally believes that he is better than ever. Few fighters are after a long layoff, and tho chances are that Leonard will not be an ex- ception. Believing that he has finally got Leonard at a disadvantage, Jack 'Britton, of this city, has been putting in some extra hard liclls in the way of training in an effort to arrive at the very top of his fighting condition.
 Blitton didn't train as hard in sev eral cracks at champonships. Leon ard is one man whom he would like to defeat, and with a dull thud too. Of course that is the great outside chance. Jack isn't given to stopping his victims as a rule. He is a master boxer and a relentless puncher, but in Leonard he is meeting a man who must not be trif1ed with.
 Those who have become careless or waxed chipper with Benja min have generally been carried out on a shut ter. The men meet at Al pounds. a weight that is supposed to have been arrived at to suit Britton. Britton isn't a bit ha edward about declaring g that Leonard is as heavy as he is.
 All this will be settled tomorrow night when the men get on the scales at Shibe's park in Philadelphia. Billy Gibson will take all the money in sigh t that Leonard does not hit 136 pounds
 Rcisler Gets His.
 John Reisler seems to have applied the Law Horrible to Jack Dempsey and his interests. In Milwaukee on Saturday Reisler forced Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager. to deposit $5.000 with the court to guarantee Reisler' S end of the purse in the coming battle between Fulton and Dempsey in Balti- moro on July I. Reisler agreed to let the fight go on without interference under these terms. He is to get his mana gers 80 per cent. of the recepts and the 5000 Is to guarantee it's be- ing paid

FitzGerald For Governor?

Democrats are as undetermined 1pon their strategy as the republican leaders seem certain. There has been great deal of stress laid, from Eheifs point of view upon the throw Town of Wilson, and possible rebel Non in the republic ranks, or even de Hection from the same ranks by Fairfield republicans, a will-o' the wisp idea, as all good republicans know. The effect of Wilson's throw aown will not be so imm ediate or so Obvious as this. Many expect Mayor David F.. FitzGerald to run for gov srnsr, and lately has come the report but of Hartford that District Attor- esy Spellacy is in the race as Hartford @untYs representatives, because nuch has come 70 New Haven in party politics lately.

High School Students Urge Public

The million dollar w. $. $. drive will continue tonight with another series of street campaign rally is about the city with the Boys club band on deck. The speakers will be Mrs. Arthur F.. J. Reilly and also three High school girls, the Misses Ginshurg. I.acava and Beach, who have made a great reputation for themselves. AS a result of their ora toricai efforts Saturday night a num- her Of their hearers doubled their previous subscriptions. The girls talk straight from the shoulder and it is a treat to hear them. Last night the Lithuanian rally in charge of Rev. F.. " Grikis was q great success. The hall was crowded and the aud fence was most enthusiastic. The speakers in addition to the Lithuan- ian orator were: F.. w. Christ, r. R. Gilpatric and Stanley H. Holmes. The Italians held another enthusiastic rally in the afternoon.
 H. F. Erwin tabulated the factory reports this morning, but the canvass is not complete. Some of the fac tories were unable to make their re- turns until later in the day.

Wilson's first administration and gave good account of himself. He is un derstood now to be the choice.
 There is no doubt in the minds oi Mayor FitzGerald's friends that if Wilson is not renominated he would like to run for governor and this as snect of the situation may have some effect upon the ultimate effect in the republican pre-conVentiOn dehbera- tions of sticking to the old ticket and rcnominating Wilson with the others. The congressional nomination is about as close to the heart of Leader f1tZ- Gerald as any othcr ambition, aud he will be named for the place, It Is understood.
 E;N-Congressman Thomas l.. tteli1H has been suggested repeatedly for the nomination, but it is known that he does not seek it in any sense of me word and by that he does not mean the usual meaning asCrihed to thaS term If insistence is made that he run, he will but not otherwise. th" suggestion faintly voiced at first, that he run for sheriff is finding nuch support in New Haven and in other parts of the country, where the beilet is strong that he would make an able candidate for the office. He will Dc thrown in as compromise between Smith. Ahern and Brown. IF the re- puhlicans nominate Donovan ot Merl- den which seems now likely, the dem- ocrats talk of running Reilly thereby ptting two townsman, and two or the hittercst political opponents who have ever stood in the political arena
 AS differeing from the interpreta- ton placed upon Jacob Walters lack of support among the cinNasSed caucus delegates for member Of the state central committee. that this fact will hurt Col. Geddes who is in the same race, is the opposite m terprctation that Walter is being withdrawn to aid, rather than harm his candidate.
 Want Reilly for Governor.
 There is another element who be- lieve that Congressman Reilly would be an admirable candidate for gov ernor. Alton T. Minor is favored for ieutenant-governor representing New London county; Fred P. Holt. of Hartford. for treasurer, John Addls of New Milford as secretary of state; NIeOrSG | OISlGl, Ol INoEh\lliN, NO'hP troller. and Charles Lockwood, Of Stamford as attorney-general.
 The democratic central committee will meet on Wednesday morning at Il o'clock at the Hotel Bond Annex, at which time Chairman FltzGerald and States Attorney Homer S. Cum- rntngs of Stamford will make their report on the "availa ble timber for the party's ticket.
 The prohibition party has deferred it's convention until after the two ma ior parties have nominated, so they can make observations, and act like unani1nity in the party so far on ac- cordingly There has been nothing prepared for it's program. The big issue with them is to help put the fed eral prohibition amendment across. For this req son there are members or the party who believe that no ticket should be put into the field at all but the prohibition party should con- centrate it's efforts on the election of candidates of either party who favor the amendm ent. There arc also "stand-patters" who favor a state ticket anyway, as a matter of prln- ciple and this is one of the interest ing matters that will be debated in the convention.
