Finding Is
 For Osberg

A finding in favor of the defendant was brought in this morning by Judge John J. Walsh of the Common Pleas court in the case heard Tuesday of Roger Purinton, representing the Purinton & Smith company, Hartford, against Harold S. Forsberg, of the Arrow Tool company, Bridgeport
 The complaint had stated that a P. & ". toOlroom lathe to cost SS25, and one Sweetland chuck to cost $50 were sold the defendant on or after Sept. 20, 1919, and that a total of $655 had been paid, leaving a balance due of S200. Damages of $500 were asked.
 The defense based it's case on the fact that a used piece of machinery had been sent to Hartford, the un- derstanding being that it was to be taken as part payment for the lathe and chuck This was denied by the plaintiff who endeavored to show that they did not handle second hand ma chinery unless orders were on hand in advance.

Plaza
 To Relieve
 CO1lgesti0

The trolley company has not for gotten the plaza, the double tracks on Water street, nor the congestion at Fairfield and Main. When conditions are right it is planned, in co-Opera- tiOn w8 h the traffic department of the local police to go into the matter thoroughly with the idea in mind of utilizing the plaza, and relieving the congestion.
 Special work will be necessary at the corner of State and Main streets, that all possible turns can be made at that corner. and plans cannot very well be carried out until the old Mo Elroy building in Water street is razed, permitting a strengthening of tracks and better passage in this sec uCn.
 It is pointed out by trolley repre- SentativeS that they are willing 50 do anything and everything to relieve the situation in conjunction wi>h a study of the problem by the police traffic department, but it is claimed that some merchants object to this rerouting, and that the trolley com pany is up against the same obstacle along those lines that the ely fathers were when they endeavOred to have enforced a drastic non-parkinS reg uIation on Main street and other prominent down town thoroughfareS-

 It is expected the British will i'm rr1ediately take charge of cities in the industrial districts of Upper Silesia.
 The British advance into Rosenberg was made so rapidly that the Poles made virtually no attempt to carry out their threat to burn and plumber the city.

Men
 Ready To
 Serve City

Already a host of "possibiEties'' are advanced by both the Republican and Democratic factions as sure mayoralty bets in the fall election. Seven pros pectiYe candidates are mentioned by the Republicans, while the Democrats have ten prominent citizens whom they say will bear consideration. On the Democratic side, Edmund q M, Wolfe. president of the First Ma tional Bank, is mentioned as the best but the fact that Mir. Wolfe is in eligible under the nonresident laws, he being a resident of Fairfield. re- m owes him from the field.
 William P. Kirk has been advanced as good prospect, as well as Fred erick Atwater. Among others whose names are being rumored about town are Town Chairman John Cornell, Lawrence P. Gallagher, B. I. Ashmun, former Senator George B. Clark, Albert E. VanNess, Police Commis- siOner Frank Anderson, and former Fire Commissioner Francis J. Bren- nan.
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson leads the Republican candidates at this time. It has been definitely ascertained he will be in the race, and he has been accredited with the assertion that he will be a candidate whether he is picked by his party or not.
 Mayor Wilson's name on an dnde- pendent ticket is a strong possibility. The formation 6f the third party is fairly certain by a faction composed of the Manufacturers Association, the Chamber of Commerce and certain fi- nancial interests. With these fac tors supporting him, together with others who are sure to bolt the party in his cause, the Mayor is said to be sure of a nomination.
 Senate Leader Alexander L. De- Laney has been mentioned. but his alleged opposition to the aldern1anic salary bill in the General Assembly has already built up strong opposi- tion to his candidacy.
 Attorney Ralph T. Beers, president of the Board of Aldermen, is another alleged candidate, but Attorney Beers has definitely stated he is not in the race
 The name of Lieutenant Command CT Albert J. Merritt, who is now in the midst of a fight for the ofty judge ship, is often heard, as well as those of Malcolm F. MacFhyden, Judge E'reder1 A. Bartlett and William E. Burnham.
