75,o0'O PEOPLE
 SAW FIREWORKS

To handle a crowd of 75,0o0 per- sons in such a manner that not a single plaint was registered is quite a task. but this feat was ac- complfshed by the Bridgeport police during the fireworks display at Sea side park Sunday night.
 The enormous assemblage was handled by a force of about 100 po- licemen under the direction of Super intendent John H. Redgate. The de- tail part of the work was carried out by Captain Peter H. Hall of the Third precinct, who was in charge of the regular patrolmen, and Sergeant Thomas Connery. who commanded the traffic squad.
 It was estimated that 3.049 auto mobiles and more than 75.000 people were in the park during the course of the celebration. After the display had ended every machine was hustled from the park in the record time of 39 minutes. Not single complaint has been made to the police as yet.

NO DEFINITE NEWS ON
 TROLLEY SITUATION

The pail of mystery still hangs over the local offices of the Connecticut
 company as to the next move in the trolley versus jftney situation. When queried this morning in regard to the situation by a Times representative Superintendent Frank l.. Kibling gave
 out his daily a1ibi of t'I have nothing to say"
 In justice to MT. Kibling it must be
 here said that only the routine busi- ness of the Connecticut Company has
 been handled through the local of- fees since the resignation of Joseph s. Goodwin, as manager of the local lines. The successor of MT. Goodwin
 also remains a mystery. Charles G. Sanford. the local trustee of the com. { pany could not be reached this morn ing.
 The popular sentiment still favors the titney over the trolley. The pub lie are inclined to believe the threat on the part of the Connecticut Com pany to remove an trolleys on July IS is a bluff and will not be carried out despite the statement by President Storrs at the local offices on Saturday afternoon. The hatchet was buried
 for a whfde yesterday between the -jit- neys and tEe~troHeys due to the rec ord crowds thai sought transportation to points in the city and vicinity. Both the Connecticut Company and jitney-
 men in the city reported that they
 carried more passengers yesterda y than on any day in the past five years

Should it be decided to give sec ond place on the ticket to the east, Franklin D. Roosevelt assistant sec retary of the navy, seemed to be a favorite. but if the nomination goes to the west there are several possi- bilities talked about for that leader
 Supporters of Cox won a way to the nomination by persfstently battering at the McAdoo and Palmer forces in many states throughout a long series of shiftings and rallies which left no one and then the other of the candi- dates in the lead.
 On the opening ballot Friday, Cox was in third place. He soon passed Palmer, however, and on the twelfth ballot went ahead of McAdoo. Then began see saving between the Cox and McAdoo totals which at the end of the thirty-ninth roll call at mid- night found the two virtually the same.
 On the 42nd ballot the accession of most of the Palmer strength to Cox put him we'll ahead and after that great and little state delegations went into the Cox column in a pSo- cession; on the 43rd he got a major. ity for the first time of all the votes and on the filth he was p1unging to- ward the required two-thirds when Colorado changed it's vote to him and made the nomination obvious.
