FEW ARE BEING MADE
I title Increase in the Number of Applicants and Most of the Wo- men Who Registered Will Not Be Made Un- less They Act Within a Few Days.

As the days pass in which women can be made voters it is apparent that mot more than half of those whose names were placed on the 'To Be Made" lists will be able to vote in the November election.
 There are but six working days left in which voters can be made and the Board of Registration claim that it is impossible to make them at the rate of more than three minute or 1S0 an hour or 1,S00 a day.
 If there was a continual stream which would keep the board busy every minute for the next six days they would be able to make only 10000.
 There are about 10000 names of both men and women on the 'To Be Made" lists and on Saturday only S25 presented themselves. Yesterday 1871 were made and the number who are presenting themselves today is very small.
 If. as it seems probable, only 3,OOO are made up to closing time tonight, that will leave IT, 900 to be made dur ing the time that the members of the board say they can make only 10,- 800.
 Yesterdays increase over Saturday was caused by 500 women who pre- scented themselves last night from the Republican rally in the First Dis trict and up to the closing hour last night it was conceded that more Republican women were made than Democratic

WILSON WINNER WHILE KING PUTS
 UP THE S4,0O0

Mayor Wilson's faction seems to have been the winner in the free-for
 all fight among the Republican fac
 tions that has been in progress in
 this city for the past month.
 The prize has been the control of
 the Republican Town committee
 which will run the campaign next
 year and the Mayors friends are now
 in control.
 William E. Seeley as treasurer of
 the committee will handle the funds
 while Art Connors and Will Howard
 Smith, two of the Mayors staunchest
 friends are on the committed.
 These three men are considered the
 sIickest politicians in the local Re-
 friends are confident that they will
 control the organization although
 John A. Leonard will remain the
 nominal leader as chairman of the a figurehead only while Alex Robin son will actually run the campaign this year.
 Republicans who are in the know believe that on account of the fac tional fights they have no chance this year and the factions have centered their energies on obtaining control of

FORFEITS LIQUOR
 BONDS
Another Saloonkeeper Arrested By Local Po- lice Gives Up His Bond of $50 Rather Than Appear in Court Three Others Tester day.

With the forfeiting of another bond of $50 by a local saloon keeper in the City Court this morning. when he failed to appear to answer to a charge of having liquor in his possession the chances are that the police will hold the violatorS of the old 18th amend ment in heavier bonds hereafter and use more stringent terms in the pros ecution of the "hooch' possessors. Besides the three arraigned yester- day who also forfeited bonds of $50 and the one who forfeited like amount today there have been other forfeitures that lead to the belief that saloonkeepers are beating the law by non appearance and taking a chance on losing the $50 rather than face the court and have a heavier penalty imposed.
 Salvio Sa1erno who runs a saloon on North Washington avenue and whose place was raided on Saturday night by Liquor Prosecutor A. J Merritt with the aid of the local po- lice was the gent who failed to ap- pear in the court this morning and Judge Bartlett ordered the bonds o1 $50 which had been posted forfeited At the time of the raid on the Sa- lerno saloon the officers found a Ma son jar half filled with home made "hooch". Sa1erno was charged with violation of the 18th amendment

POLICE HAVE NO IDEA OF WHERE
 ESPOSITO IS

Diligent efforts on the part of Stra attord, Bridgeport and State po- lice, to locate Joseph Esposito, of Waterbury, alleged murderer of Mary Susco, his divorced wife. have so far been wholly unsuccessful. More than three days have now elapsed since the woman was shot to death in the dining room of her Stratford home, and the authorities are still completely in the dark as far as the whereabouts of the killer is concern ed.
 Belief that the body reported to have been floating in the Housatcnie river near the Devon railroad bridge on Sunday, was that of Esposito, has been practically abandoned. The police were at first inclined to fol- low this theory, but have now dis carded it and are bending every effort to get track of the alleged murderer whom they believe is in hiding. Al noon today, the supposed body oi the drowned person had not been re- EfsGVered.

WOMEN WHERE THEY
 CAN LOSE
Republicans Generous With Their Nominations Under
 Some Circumstances.

In several of the Republican eau cuses held throughout the state yes- terday women were nominated for re- presentatives in the State Legisla- ture.
 It was very noticeable that in towns where there was a safe Republican majority no women candidates re- ceived recognition while in towns where the Republicans were in a mi nority they allowed their ga1lantry to overcome their natural political op- position to giving political honors to women by placing some of them on the ticket.
 In Hartford where two years ago the Democratic nominees received D. 400 more votes than the Republi- can candidates the Republicans yes- terday graciously gave the nomlna- ton to Mrs. Edward w. Hooker.
 In Naugatuck where two years ago Thomas P. Reilly, Democrat, defeat ed Claremont I. Tolles by s91 to 704, Miss Emily Brown was given the doubtful honor of a place on the losing ticket.
 In Cromwell where the RepubH- cans elected their man last year by a vote of POS to 72 for the Democrats, Mrs. William F.. Couch aspired to the nomination but was defeated by Al bert A. Austin who received 94 votes to Mrs. Couch's 3S.
 In several of the towns the Re publicans nominated women for Jus tces of the Peace which in these days carries as much honor and as many duties as hay warden. One woman at least will be Q member of the next general assembly in the natural course of events fol Rev. Grace I. Edwards, pastor of the Congregational church in Nepaug and of the Methodist church i'll Bakersvi1le, both in the town of New Hartford, was nominated for the House. by the Republicans last night and the Democrats gallantly en- dorsed this nomination.
