TRIES TO SAVE
LIQUOR SEIZED

Claiming that the State of Con-
necticut had insufficient evidence
that she was going to sell liquor
found in her home, Mary Phillips, of
Stratford, appealed the judgment of
Judge Howard w. Curtis, of the
Stratford Town clerk in a case filed
in the Common Pleas court. The
premises of the plaintiffs was search
ed by the police on June Z, and found
to have two full barrels of wine, two
quarts of wine, one pint vessel of
wine, and three gallons of home
brew whiskey, containing alcohol.
y, The case was brought before the
Stratford court, and Mrs. Phillips de-
INJURED, but the court overruled the
demurrer. The court ordered the Ii
quors to be destroyed. but the plain
tiff has appealed the decision to the
Criminal side of the Common Pleas
court. In the meantime the liquor is
being held by the Stratford court in
lieu of g. bond. 49,

and Luigi Papil. No bonds had been
secured at noon today, and the pris-
oners were taken to the county Jail in

The seriousness Of the charges which
the men will face in the Superior court

the offense which they are alleged to
have committed.

Mayor Wilson in Pre-
Convention Gathering at
Hartford.
Especial to The Times.)

Hartford, Sept. s.-The atmosphere
surrounding the pre- convention gath
ering here today was for Walsh of

majority of those delegates who have
already arrived though women work

gates in favor of Mayor Clifford B.

Speaker Walsh don't seem to be
LIKELY to be near Mayor Wilson.
Walsh got in from Greenwich at noon
today and went to the Hotel a,Grde
where he had reservation. He was
guided to his room and in a few mo-
ments he came down to the desk
again and demanded a change of
scenery because he said that the room
that had been given was altogether too
near Wilson's room. The clerk COM
Piled with the request and Speaker
Walsh seemed happy.
The Walsh boomers say that the
Greenwich man will have 25O votes on
the first ballot. He needs 1884, There
are a good many skeptics as to the
number of votes that Speaker Walsh
will get on that first ballot, most of
the wise ones saying that he won't get
over 200 and that the first ballot will
be his best ballot
In so far as is possible to guage the
situation Wilson's strength on the
first ba Hot will not exceed 100 votes.
Mrs. Willard F'leck of Bridgeport and
a corps Of state suffragists are here
working hard for Wilson. They are
telling the delegates that if Walsh is
nominated the women will not ovte for
him but that they will get out and
work for Bridgeport's mayor.

REV. M. A. DeGRAFF
RESIGNS PULPIT

Rev. M. A. DeGraff who was ap-
pointed pastor of the Trinity NJ. E.
church last winter resigned from the
pastoralte of that church on last Sun
day due to i'll health. This is the
third time that the church has been
without pastor during the past few
years. The announcement to the
congregation on last Sunday of the
resignation Of Rev. DeGrafff came as
a very unpleasant surprise to the
congregation as he has always been
held in the highest esteem by the
members of the parish. Rev. Mr.
Simpson of the Christian Union who
has filed the vacancy in the past
when the church was without a pas
tor will hold the office temporarily
until successor has been appointed.
