BIG PLANTS HERE RUNNING NOW ON
 NORMAL BASIS

Inquiries made yesterday concern ing labor and manufacturing condi- tions in this city drew from authori- tative sources the information that practically all the large plants are on a normal or better than normal schedule. The record end of the Co., lumbia Graphophone Company is run ming nights as we'll as days Ths labor market is fairly easy with little if any surplus. The only line in which a possible shortage is admitted is com mon labor. A rumor that the BuHard plant had been laying off men was chara cterized by S. H. Bullard as be- Ing absolutely untrue.'
 In some lines especially the textile lines, future, orders have fallen off but this is not surprising in view of the fact that the textile industries all over the country are slowing down, particularly in New England, where many of the mills have shut down al together.
 For a time manufacturing was held back by inability to get goods but this condition has been considerably re- lieved by the gradual improvement in freight conditions which has taken place in the last three or four weeks.

"CIiff Wilson For Governor?''
 "Not A Chance; Not A Chance" Is Chorus Of The Up-Staters
They Won't Even Give Him the Nomination for Lieu tenant-Gfovernor Because of His Attack on J. Henry.

Mayor Wilson will be a candidate for governor at the Republican state convention, according to the talk at the legislative reunion at Cosey beach yesterday. But the up state men say that Cliff Wilson hasn't as much T. King has.
 They say that the Fairfield candi date for governor will be Speaker Walsh of Greenwich, but no one on the inside seem to believe that Walsh will get the nomination. The very clever up-staters are playing Walsh against Wilson just now and will play
 both Walsh and Wilson against Sen ator Templeton of Waterbury, with holding in reserve as the real candi- dates Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel and Judge Don Warner of Salisbury.
 Judge Warner is the man they want if they can get him. But it is said
 that Judge Warner is not very en- thusiastic over the proposition Judge Warmers mind and Jennings are more Or less judicial and perhaps a place on the supreme court bench in. the
 ordinary process of promotion holds
 more promise to him than the office of governor, particularly in a year
 when the election to office on the Re- publican ticket in Connecticut is not the sort of a cinch it has always been considered.
 But they may draft Judge Warner. If Judge Warner runs, you see, there will be a nice vacancy on the superior court bench which could be filled and then there would be other vaca ncies on other benches and so on down the line. So that if Judge Warner is in duced to give up his position on the
 bench quite few of the faithful can be rewarded.
 siastic and if he doesn't take it then Stoekel, who will take it, will be pre- jsented to the convention as the real thing in gubernatroial candidates. But if you asked any of those at the meeting yesterday what Cliff WIlson's s 1 chances were for getting the nomina- 1 ticn the answer was always the same Not a cha nee; not a, chance Incidentally Mayor Wilson will not receive the nomination for lieutenant governor either if he should want it when he doesn't get the nomination l for governor. Senator Templeton has already been asked to take that and has refused and the gang is looking
 for somebody else to take it. Mayor Wilson's little attack on J | Henry at the spring convention is not forgotten and won't be forgotten as long as J. Henry is on the roost. . | Incid entaHy the war between the factions here in Fairfield county has begun in earnest The upstate crowd
 remembered that Senator Dillon was
 one of those who said some very naughty things about J. Henry at the
 spring convention so Sheriff Pease
 was ordered to get rid of Dillon. In a statemen last night Senator
 Dillon openly accuses Sheriff Pease Of trying to hamsring him and says that he won't be hamStrung.
 And with the certainty of three Re- publican tickets in the field at the
 primaries here, the purpose of one of ithena being to prevent Mayor Wilson
 from getting the delegates from
 Bridgeport, there seems to be some
 prospect of d very lively campaign.

PARIS SURPRISED.

Paris, Aug 12-The recognition by France of the south Russian govern ment of General Wrangel is com mented upon today by all the French newspapers, the majority of which express surprise at the statements Premier Lloyd George made in the House of Commons concerning it.
 They take the view that the Brit ish premier is not in a position to re- proach France in connection with this initiative by her, advance notice of which was given by Premier Mill 1erand in his speech of July 20 as they point out that MT. Lloyd George himself began negotiations with the Bolsheviki without consulting France or the other allies
 The newspapers consider that the French recognition of General Wran- gel is a strictly logical continuation of the line of policy publicly mapped out by the French government
 Premier Millerand left this morn ing for the liberated regions. He is respected to return August 21.
