Republican
 Organization
 Is Very Weak

Town Republican Chairman J. Alex H. Robinson is working over time to try to perfect the Republican organization which still appears to be In a very weak condition. The drop ping of seven district leaders has not helped matters any, many of the friends of the deposed men, rather than the leaders themselves, being in dignant over the action. Besides there is still a great deal of talk about men on the ticket being out to work pri- marily for themselves rather than for Wilson whom they seem willing to sacrifice for their individual gain.
 The Town committee is complete except for the name of one woman who will be chosen later for the First district. There will be a meeting of the committee at the party head quarters tonight in the Liberty build ing The finance committee and the speakers bureau will also meet there to form definite plans for the cam paign.
 John Leonard, former town chair man will return to the city next Satur- day, but he says that he will continue his rest and will not participate in the electon fight. Among his callers at Wal1ingford yesterday was Alex ander DeLan1y, deposed leader of the Seventh, who made such a strong ap- peal for Leonard's retention at the convention last Thursday. MT. Leon ard is looking a great deal better than when he went away but it Is said that he will have to lead an easy life for some time yet.

 Hampton, whose home is in Bara- boo, Wis. has been with the herd since before the Ringing elephants were put with the old Barnum & Bailey herd several years ago. One of the big beasts of the Ringing delegation" pinned him against the wall in the elephant house Saturday and was in the act of grasping him with his trunk preparatory to crush ing him on the floor when excited snorts of some of the Barnum & Bailey beasts brought help in time to save the man. The Ringing ele- plants have long been noted as a bad herd, but this is the first serious trouble encountered since the beasts were put together when the two shows were combined during the war.

 Lunenburg Is
 Race Winner

Halifax, N. s., Oct. 24-Bluenose of Junenburg, today defeated Elsie of Gloucester in the second Information al F1shernan's race and won the sail ing championship of North Atlantic, captured last year by the Gloucester man Esperanto.
 Just to add a dash of additional interest to the contest, Mayfower out of Boston, barred by the donator of the 1shermen's trophy as more racer than fishing smack, hoped into the trial of speed after the real races had passed the first mark. Not to be outdone, De1awana, the Nova Sco- tian, defeated by the American Es- peranto last year, also joined the pro- cession. Both were trailing at the second mark.
 Spectators were amazed. Every one wondered if the two intruders had made side bets. .--
 At 11:05 Welch bore away for the buoy with Walters right on his heels. The Mayf1ower headed for Halifax, definitely abandoning the race.
 At 11:2S the schooners were less than two miles from the third mark. The wind was still light and the schooners were making slow time.
 Elsie had opened up the gap and now was fully three lengths ahead. When Elsie eased sheets and made for the Buoy, Blue Nose followed her lead.
 Elsier rounded the third mark at 11:49:2s official time, and Blue Nose at 11:4S:46.

 Schools For
 Railroad Men

Four training schools of instruction for volunteer railroad men will be started this week by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, if present plans materialize. The schools will be opened in New Haven, Hart ford, Waterbury and New London, and will be used to train volunteers to supplant the men who go out on the nationwide strike next week. General Manager c. L. Bardo stated today that the schools probably would be opened tomorrow.
 Officials of the New Haven road have started thorough canvas of the E4S0 employees affected by the na- tional strike order to determine the sentiment of each one relative to the impending strike. Every employe will be compelled to register his opinion, and indicate just what stand he is taking in the present crisis.
 Volunteers trained in the roads schools will be used for emergency service during the strike period. Ap- plications to enter the schools may be made with the superintendents throughout the various cities. Men under training will be paid while re- ceiving instruction in handling loco motives, rolling stock and to care for other features of road work, and when qualified to begin work will be paid at the same rate now being given by the road for the class of employment on which they will be engaged.

Definite Indication Gov ernment Intends To Seek Court Action To Prevent Nationwide Strike.

Chicago, Ills, Oct. 24-The four big brotherhoodS and the Switchmen' s Union have reiterated their warning to the United States Railroad Labor Board that only a satisfactory settle ment can prevent the strike called for next Sunday morning, it was learned today.
 Washington, Oct. 24-Dehnite in- dication that the government intends to seek court action to prevent a nationwide railroad strike was given today when Attorney General Daugh- erty summoned five United States district attorneys to Washington to confer with him.
 The Attorney General announced that he had summoned district attor- neys from cities where it might be necessary to seek court action, in order to give them instructions.''
 The government will not run the roads, but 1t will see that the rail roads are operated" Attorney Gem eral Daugherty said after a confe- snce today with the President.
 The Attorney General said that 1t might be necessary to have the courts deLine the powers of the Railroad Labor Board, and indicated that he will seek to have the courts declare That since there is no power of en- forcement of the decisions of the Labor Board defined in the transpor- tation act, that the power of enforce ment rests with the President of the United States.
