CLERK SCHULTZ
 DIES SUDDENLY Y
Republicans Prepare for Election of His Successor at Special Council
 Meeting.

Stricken with a heart failure of long standing at 9:45 o'clock this morning, Town Clerk Joseph Schultz died a few moments later at his home, 1160 kossuth street. His sudden death came a a shock to his many friends and associates in official life at city hall, who had only recently rejoiced at his return to his desk in the town clerks office after recovering from a fall of a few months ago. MT. Schultz would have completed his sixth year, and third successive term as town clerk in November, 1919, he having been elected to the office in November, 1918. Previous to that he had been city sheriff for three years, filling the unexpired term of the late Sheriff Thomas Hamilton.
 A successor for the office of town clerk will be elected by the common council at a special meeting to be called by Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, Nomination of candidates will be made by the aldermen, and the one receiving the majority of votes will be elected. Although the suddenness of MT. Schultz's death has left the ad- ministration with little thought of his successor, the names of Assistant Town Clerk Clarence E. Winton, Rep resentative Thomas Chew and James Turner have been mentioned
 Joseph Schultz was born in Lau- dau, Province of Bavaria, Germany, September 5, 1856. and would have reached his sad year in 1919. He came to this country 40 years ago and settled in Bridgeport 6 few years later, entering business here and be- came widely popular.
