SAY BODY
 IS NOT THAT
 OFCOPPOLA
State Police Skeptica] While Relatives Go From
 South Norwalk.

South Norwalk, Conn. Aug. 12-In the nope that he definitely identify the body of the man found at Farm ington as that of his missing nephew Charles Coppola who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in February, 1919, Michael Piccione of this city left for Pennington today, to view the clothing and the skeleton of the man.
 The State Police are not inclined to the belief that tie skeleton of the unidentified man that was unearthed in Pennington on last Sunday is that of Charles Coppo1a, the nineteen year old son of MT. and Mrs. Louis Cop pola of South Norwalk, who has been missing from his home in that, place since February 14. 1919.
 An investigation conducted by the State Police yesterday brought out that the body is probably that of a foreign workman who was employed in the neighborhood of where the body was found about two years ago on sewer construction york. The po- lice are of the belief that it was a case of suicide. Two members of the department visited the spot where the body was found. yesterday and also looked at the body. They found that the bullet in the head had ap- parently been fired through the mouth as the skull was pushed up on top of the head.
 The revolver found alongside of the body was turned over to Superin- tendent of State Police Thomas Egan yesterday, who examined the gun and found that there were three cartridges in the chamber unexploded. Superln- tendent Eagan also expressed himself as of the belief that it was an almost positive case of suicide. The remains of the victim were buried in Hillside cemetery in Unionyine yesterday m morning.
 At the offices of the State Police in Hartford this morning it was said there were no new developments III the case and that the police are still

''CIiff Wilson For Goyernor?'
 "Not A Chance; Not A Chance
 Is Chorus Of The Up-Staters
They Won't Even Give Him the Nomination for Lieu tenant Governor 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 upstate, men say that Cliff Wilson hasn't as much chance to get the nomination as John T., King has.
 date for governor will be Speaker Walsh of Greenwich, but no one 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 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 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 nice vacancy on the superior court bench which could be filled and then there would be other vacancies on other benches and 50 on down the line. So that if Judge Warner is in duced to give up his position on the bench quite a few of the faithful can be rewarded.
 But the judge is not at all enthu- siastic and if he doesn't take it then l Stoeke1, who will take it, will be pre- sented to the convention as the real l thing in g1ubernatroial candidates (ContinueA on Page Threel

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 normal or better than normal schedule. The record end of the Co., lumbia Graiphophone Company is run ming nights as well as days. ThI 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 runor that the Bullard plant had been laying off men was chara acterized by $. 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
