Over Expected.

Frederick S. Chamberlin of this
city, state treasurer, will not be a
candidate for denomination on the re-
publican ticket at the state convention
to be held in Hartford on June IS and
26. Mr.. Chamberlain made the an
nouncement today
Although there is no doubt in poll
teal circles that the New Britain
treasurer could have the nomination
for a third time if he sought it, he
declares that he has been in office
long enough and his other duties, both
as city trea surer and as treasurer Of
the First National bank, make it i'm
possible for him to devote any more
time to the state office.
Mr. Cha mberlain was first elected
state treasurer four years ago when
Marcus H. iHolcomb was first elected
governor. Two years ago Mr.. Cham
berlain at first declined to be q candi-
date for reelection and it was only
after he had been urgently requested
to permit his name to remain on the
ticket that he consented. This year,
however, he states his decision is final.
He will play a part in republican poll
ties hits fall inas asmuch as he will be
one of New Britains official delegates
to the state convention. The others
who have circulated petitions as dele
gates to this convention are George
Kimball, Richard Covert, John Ow-
siak, Hubert P. Richards and Joseph
Hultgren.
Quisley After Nomination.
That Mayor Quigley and his close
followers are leaving no stone un-
turned to gain for him the nominal =
ton for congress on the republican
ticket is shown by the list of congress
sional delegates that has already been
selected. These men, all Quigley slto-
porters are Edward f. Hall, Aaron
Danielson, Edward M. Pratt, Burton
c. Morey, Arthur n. Rutherford and
William Quigley. 1t is expected that
the congressional convention will be
called the latter part of the month
Mayor Quigley stated today that he
is out strong for the nomination and
will fight to q finish to secure it. AS
yet he is the only candidate who has
announced his intentions of seeking
the republican nomination but those
in the political ring do not imagine
that the nomination will go to him un-
contested. He has a, strong following
| in New Britain. Bristol, Suffield and in
{ the Windsor Locks district where
Frank I1ealy, one of the republican
| insurgent powers, is his strongest SUP
| porter
The local delegates will be ex-
! pected to fight for Quigley's nomina-
| ton from the moment the gave
falls until adjournment is called. Mr.
| Hall is connected with Landers, Frar,
( & Clark and is known to be friendly
| to the Quigley interests. Assessor
| Danielon is another Quigley man and
Edward M. Pratt, who, as NJ. I. Jes-
ter's manager in the recent mayoraI-
/ ty campaign opposed the mayor is
! now lined UP with him. Burton c.
| Morey, who went on the stump dur
ing the last campaign as the mayors
| supporter, is one of his best boosters
| and there is no doubt that both Will
liam Quigley his cousin, and Building
| Inspector A. N. Rutherford, his
former manager and an appointee
will fight hard in his interests.
