The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-10-20

:. Branding the story as false City Clerk J. Alex H. Robinson today ern- had been given some prominence in gossip, to the effect that he is not interested in seeing the mayor re- elected but will confne his campaign activities to working for his own success at election time. The rumor had gotten around that Robinson was ready to swap votes in return for SUD- port for himself.
 If I ann chosen as town chairman tonight" said Robinson this morning . "al1 my efforts will be given to the support of the entire ticket When a man is running a campaign he has no right to let his personal feelings in- nuence his actions. If the delegates want me to head the town committee shall put all of my energy into the business of putting Wilson and the entire rest of the ticket into office, It Is an assured fact that Robin- son will be the man upon whom the duties of Town Chairman will fall when the convention reassenables in the High School building this even- Ing. He said that he has not even considered the makeup of the com nltteer as yet as that can only come after he is elected to office but he low the wishes of the Mayor in mak- ing up the committee '1The mayor has won out in the convention and I think that it is only fair to give him

 Although no resignations have been handed in it is assumed that when Robinson does receive the post of chairman he will remove certain members in order to follow his policy Of having a committee which will be acceptable to the Mayor Tesiny of the Sixth and Lyons of the fourth vens, O'Conne1l, and Primrose, from the fifth, eights, and ninth may also be removed if they do not resign.
 Although 1t has been admitted by most Republicans and Democrats as well that both Robinson and Town Clerk c. B. Winton would run far ahead of their ticket, because they are sure to receive the votes of a great many Republicans who refuse to fol- low Wilson again, Robinson's chan ces will undoubtedly be injured by his taking the position of Town Chair man. In that place he is bound to make enemies in order to attain good results for the entire slate. For ex- ample if he is called upon to remove members of the Town committee he Is apt to make enemies of those men who otherwise might have supportef them.
 Mrs. H. Willard F1eck would appear certain to get the position of vice chairman of the committee. In the effort that the Republicans are making to get as much support as possible from the woman, the position of sec retary is likely to go to a woman also. Miss Caroline E. Jenson, of Tax Com missioner Arthur Connor's. office who was prominently mentioned for the position of tax collector before the conveQtton, being the most likely can didate.
 William Behrens, president of the Charities Board, appears to be the most likely choice for treasure a1- though James Turner is also consid- cred a not unlikely possibility.
 The greatest concern to the Repub- lican leaders is the problem of where they are to raise enough money this year to finance the campaign, and many of them admit that they do not see the source of appreciable funds Practically all of the support of the business men of the city, the men who in past years have given the Re- pubHcans as much as $30,000 for city campaign purposes, will be with drawn
