Holcomb Still Considering

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 2O-''I11 be mighty glad when the whole question is cleared up." This was the state ment of Governor Holcomb today re- garding the suffrage situation. The governor, who is spending a few days at the Holcomb hom estead in New Hartford, would not commit himself on the question of whether or not he would call a special session, for the purpose of changing the state laws so that the enrolment of Connecticut women as voters would be Facilitated In his first statement on suffra se since ratifica ton by the Tennessee legislature, Governor Holcomb said ::
 Everything will be done that is found to be necessary to allow women to vote."
 It was pointed out to the governor that the Hartford registrars of voters as we'll as those of other cities and towns had said that the one week in October allowed by law would not be sufficient for the enrolment of the thousands of women voters as well as the hundreds of men who will want their names on the voting lists. 'tI cannot say anything about that until I have given it more consideration" |" was the governors comment.

TOO MANY VOTERS
 HERB
Bridgeport Registrars
 Will Be Unable To
 Handle the Great Rush
 of Women-Gov. Ho1- comb Says He Hasn't Decided on Extra Ses- ~ sion.

Bridgeport will be unable to make 23,000 or more women voters in the seven days esignated-October 8 to 15-because those women who want t'to be made as well as some men will not all appear before the select men at the proper time, according to members of the Board of Registrars. If the ones to be made would keep the selectmen busy from a. m. to D. m. on the seven days there might be a chance to completing the job, but such has never happened and in the opinion of the registrars it never will
 Since yesterday more than a dozen women had filed applications to be made voters for the November cleo tion and the registrars expect there will be a rush of women within a short time. So far, the women who will be entitled to vote are not sure that the privilege will be given them and for that reason are holding back matter is settled that they will be entitled to vote then there will be g long list of applications filed.
 The registrars believe that some thing should be done to remedy this situa ton before hundreds of persons who will want to vote are turned away without being made voters an6 the time to do anything of this kin6 will be before October 9th when the selectnen will hold their opening session.
 While it is probable that man, thousands of the women will not b. made enough will apply to make tht work of the board impossible.

DENIES SESSION
WITH SENATOR
Dorsey Says He, Cannon and
Brown Did Not Confer on
the Naming of Delegates
SESSION WITH GOVERNOR
Delegate Situation Was Not
Discussed With Edwards =
No Change, Thereby is Made

Rumors that Senator Thomas
Brown, County Clerk Bernard M.
Cannon and Mayor Frank Dorsey, all
of this city, had gotten together with
Governor Edward 1. Edwards on the
presidential convention delegate mat
ter in Trenton on Monday were de-
MED this morning by Mayor Dorsey.
The mayor said that Mr.. Cannon and
he had been in Trenton on business
with the governor but that 1t was
another matter. No meeting with
Senator Brown took place, he de-
clared.
This denial of any meeting between
would indicate that the split existing

result of competition for the honor

instead of becoming less noticeable is
just as wide as 1t was several weeks
ago.
The Republicans of the third dis
trict got together at meeting held
in Asbury Park on Saturday and came
to a satisfactory agreement whereby
the candidacy of Ferd Garretson, of
this city. was favored for delegate
as was that of Lewis Thompson, of
Red Bank. The Ocean county G. o.
p. leaders were content with having
section. The Garretson and Thomp-
son petitions have been circulated
and are receiving many signers. there
having been no apparent split In these
ranks as yet. 1t is expected that there
will be other Republican candidates
IN the race but at present the names
Of none have been mentioned who
would appear as strong as either Gar
retson or Thompson.
DeSnifn tba fact that the Rannbli-
cans have been able to get together
and decide by an elimination process
who would be the best and strongest
men for the position, the Dem mocrats
seem unable or unwilling to mend
the breach which has grown since the
entry of both Senator Brown and
County Clerk Cannon into the race
for the election as delegate.
No meeting of the county Demo-
cratic leaders of Middlesex, Monmouth
and Ocean, has been held as yet to
determine upon any such plan of rep
resentation as have the Republicans.
The various county leaders however
have gotten together among them
selves and discussed the candidates.
The local organization Is peeved
over the action OF the state Demo-
cratic committee in selecting for Mid
dlesex county the man who will be
one of the delegates at the conven-
ton. 1t is the belief of organization
leaders here that the Democratic
county committee should decide this
question and not the state committee.
Senator Thomas Brown today would
not discuss the rumor to the affect
that County Clerk Bernard M. Gan
non and Mayor Frank Dorsey and
himself had been in conference with
Governor Edward I. Edwards on the
Presidential convention delegate mat
ters and would make no statement
at this time on the issue.

TRENTON. March 17-With the
Senate Allen bill to give State Comp
troller Newton A. K. Bugbee the ap-
pointment of $4,000 motor commits
sioner on It's way to a test vote In the
House the Democrats today are said
to be willing to compromise on the
controversy involving the appoint
ment Of William l.. Dill, Democrat,
of Paterson. for another term as state
m motor vehicle commissioner.
Governor Edwards had sent the
nomination of Thomas f. Martin to
the senate just before adjournment
last night, for another five year term
as secretary of state. Martins nomi-
nation was carried to the chamber
by Secretary J. Harry Foley. but he
reached the senate too late for con-
sideration of the reappQintment. Has
tening of the Martin nomination, con-
cerning which there was much spec
ulation, is attributed directly to the
decision of the Republicans in ad-
vancing the Allen bill in the Assem-
bly,.
Coincident with the Martin reap
pointment came the generally accept
ed story that II the Republicans would
hold off on the Allen bill. Martin
would reappoint Dill, although such
action is hard pill for the followers
of Mayor Frank Hague to swallow
Martins term does not expire until
April 8. On that date the term of
Dill as assistant secretary of state
and motor commissioner also expires.
The Republicans are up in the air
Just at present on what course to fol-
low They have been shouting Dills
praises and assurances of his reap
pointment may satisfy some of them.
The more militant at the state house
this morning agreed that the Allen

of rich patronage" at the disposal OF
the motor commissioner.
Martin will not be compelled to
show his hand until April 8. and there
is every prospect that the legislature
will remain in session just few days
beyond that date to await Dill's re-
appointment, in the event the demand
of Comptroller Bugbee to settle the
question at once is not needed.
