ATTORNEY SAYS HE SHOULD GET
 S12,000 WAGE
Because of His Work Dorsen Creditors Will Get 100
 Per Cent. of Claims

Claiming that he should be awarded at least SIP. 510 for his services in un- earthing the iniquities of the Dorsen Dry Goods company's bankruptcy case and an additional sum of $1, POO for ex- penses, Henny S, Wolfe, attorney for the creditors, appeared in favor of his petition for counsel fees and expenses before Judge John W. Banks this morning.
 Attorney Wolfe said that he had spent 175 days on the case. That if the owrk had ben done for a private client he would have charged at least $25, 900. That any attorney of reputation should be allowed $1O0 a. day for his services.
 He made a forcible address in favor of the allowance.
 He said that while the judge had
 surcharged the receivers with over
 s15,00O, he had no doubt but that the
 higher court would increase the
 amount The hearings had laid the
 foundation for the recovery by the
 trustee of the sums paid to the Royal
 Adjustment Company prior to the f1l-
 ing of the bankruptcy and, also, he
 had prepared a basis for the rejection
 of the claim of the Royal Adjustment
 Company amounting to s35,000 for
 usury, and also for the rejection Of
 the claim of the Wheeler brothers
 which also amounted to $35,000. He claimed that because of his work the creditors would in all probability receive 100 per cent. of their claims. Attorney Wolfe said from the time he came to Bridgeport iii the case on October, 1918, he had been unable to receive any assistance from either bankers, business men or lawyers in this city and that in order to get some information he had to subpoena one Bridgeport lawyer to testify against his will.
 "It has been necessary for me to demonstrate to your Honor that cer' tain men whom you had long known
 and in whom you had put your trust were unworthy of this trust and this took considerable time.'
 The application was vigorously op- posed by Judge William Comley and Attorney Robert P. Lewis for the re- ceivers who said that an unnecessary amount of time had been occupied by Attorney Wolfe in proving things 1 like the payment of the back rent tt I Wheeler Brothers, which could have i been proven in a few minutes ant | Attorney Lewis said that he coulG 1 have proved the whole case in a hali | a day and that there had been ar i unnecessary waste of time.
 Judge Comley said that 90 pel cent. of the time had been wasted I and that it was unthiHkable to allow 1 S12,5O0 for the collection of s15,0 ,00t l and that most of the time had beer taken up in trying to prove a con l spiracy among the. bankers, bushes: i men and lawyers of Bridgeport be. 1 fore the appointment of the receivers l Judge Comley said that as the Ref ! cree had found that there was no ba,
 sis for this charge no allowance ] should be made which would sur 1 charge the receivers.

Republicans Believe Rora back Will Not Be Sue

While statements issued from the J. Henry Roraback faction in Hart ford tend to show that Mayor Wilson has but small chance of ever being governor of this state, Mayor wilson is confident of his ultimate success.
 Bridgeport Republicans are reluct- ant to believe that J. Henry can mus ter enough votes to oust King as na- tional committeeman and they are pointing out that Wilson Is stronger than the Roraback crowd would like to believe and say that there is small doubt but what deserters in the ranks of the upstate men will appear at the convention.
 They also say that the nextS con- vention will be the final test for the strength of King since if he should beat Roraback on the floor it would mean an end to the reign of the up- state boss.
