MERIDEN MAYOR
 AGAIN MENTIONED
 FOR CONGRESSMAN
Gets His Home Delegation, But That's About as Far as
 He'll Get.

Meriden, Sept. 8.-Meriden's mayor, gress-that is he is and although he got the endorsement of the city democratic conventoin on Tuesday
 night and the Is delegates to the dis trict convention were pledged for him that is about as far as he will get for the very simple fact that the factoin
 that is headed by Sheriff Reilly and former Collector James J. Walsh and
 which controlled the convention was
 also backin gthe candidacy of former
 State Senator Stephen Whitney of
 New Haven and expects to put him
 across. Whitney, however, is not yet
 nominated either, and Mayor King is
 sitting tight on the sidelines hoping that if a considerable row does occur
 lightning may strike his way It isn't
 likely, however, as Meriden will hard
 ly get the sheriff and the congress-
 man, so it appears as if MT. King
 will have to go on being just mayor
 for the present at least.
 The convention was a love feast,
 Mayor King rubbing Sheriff Reilly's back and the genial Tom soft peddal-
 ling all over the local democracy
 while Jim Walsh, who was chairman of the meeting, waved the flag
 your flag and my fag"-dehantly in the rest of the republicans. On prop er motion a committee of five was appointed to bring in a list of dele gates to the three big conventions and did so neatly except for the fact that the members forgot to get the "slate" before retiring and had to re- turn and get 1t from a party worker seated in the front row.
 While 1t Is known that Sheriff Reil- ly is behind Mayor FitzGerald of New Haven for governor, and used that fact in his aid to carry the pri- maries in the Elm City two weeks ago, the mayor was forgotten in the endorsements handed round at the convention. The delegates to the county convention were pledged for the sheriff and to the congressional convention were pledged to Mayor King, for the first vote anyhow. But the gubernatorial and senatorial mat ters were sidestepped. Organized Labor got a little representation on the delegations-very little-the list being as follows:
 State-Mayor Henry T. King, Sher- if Thomas L. Reilly, Miss Mary o. Donnell, Corporation Counsel Will liam M. Luby, James J, Walsh, Fran cis T. Maloney, Julius C. Stremlau, Thomas J; Maroney, Mrs; Joseph Cloovan, Judge Dennis i. O'Brien, I. H. Mag, pr. Joseph A. Cooke.
 County-Dr Joseph A. Cooke, Mrs Bridget Lanouette, Mrs. John Barry, Robert Ryan, Napoleon St. Cyr, C. | M. Reilly, Ernest Ha1lbach, Owen Horan, Patrick Dorsey, Edward Man ey, Michael P. Kelly, Lawrence Di-l Rosa, John L: Moran, Thomas J. Horrigan, C. P. Day.
 Mrs. William Steele, Mrs. Harry Stanley, Wilbur Castelow, Alfred Cook, Harry Gold, James H. Moran, Theodore Sucowski, Martin Lemke, Sperando Cicotti, jr., Eric Osmand, J ohn J. Doyle, Benjamin Tonkonow, Fred H. Edwards, Armand Adams.
 Some movie producer should have been at the farm of Max Zimmerman on Allen street Tuesday when Max staged a scenario that has Bill Hart every way. Frank Ryan, former farmland, showed up during the afternoon to find out how come | he was hred and he threw scare into Mrs. Zimmerman and the little, Not so Max, however. Max simply took down the old blum 1erbuss, stuck up Ryan in true west ern fashion and while the latter held ais hands high over his head, Max assooed him hand and foot and then him off to the lookup The final scene was staged before Judge Dunn who added penalty of $37 50 10 Ryan's injuries.
