CONN., LEGION TOAKLAKE FOR SUPPORT W PETITION
 TOHARDlNC ASKING BOWLS
DEMOCRATS BELIEVE
 CUMMINGS WILL RUN
On That Assumption, Unin- structed State Delega-
 tion Is Expected.

Seventy-seven delegates to a demo- cratic city convention will be elected at ward caucuses at 7:30 o'clock to- night, the delegations from the re- spective wards being split up as fol- lows:
 First ward. 12 delegates; second ward. nine delegates; third ward, 10 delegates fourth ward, II delegates; fifth ward, 15 delegates; sixth ward, 20 delegates. Total. 77 delegates.
 The convention will be held tomor- row evening at 7:30 o'clock at K. of c. meeting hall on Main street, when delegations to the state, county, con- gressional and probate conventions will be selected and, if this method is favored, will be instructor for va- rious candidates.
 In view of the fact that Mayor A. M. Paonessa, considered as a candi- date for lieutenant governor, has made no formal announcement of his desire to secure that nomination, it is unlikely that the state delegation will be instructed in his behalf Within the past week, Paonessas name has been linked prominently with the office of comptroller. It is believed that both the mayor and the local democratic interests are more anxious to place New Britainite or the ticket for that position than for lieutenant governor, the office carry ing with 1t many political "plums" which, in the event of a democratic success at the polls, could be passed out generously to local Jeffersonians. Mayor Paonessa has not made known his preference.
 Political observers anticipate continuance of the policy adopted by the mayor whereby strict silence is maintained. He has asserted that he would not finance his own campaign, but that if the party felt that it wanted his name on the ticket he would be a candidate, this statement being made in connection with men, ton of the lieutenant governorship. Viewing the readiness with which the shift from the office of lieutenant governor rl comptroller is being &C., cepted, one prominent democrat summed up the situation this morn ing with the following statement.
 "Paonessa is sitting pretty waiting to see where the lightning will strike"
 An instructed congressional dele gation is believed to be almost a cer- tainty. ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran thus far having been allowed an un- contested field, locally, for the con- gressional nomination. He has re- ceived the endorsement of the Hard ware City Democratic club and prac- teal assurance of the entire delega- ton of Is members. Joseph M Dut- ton of Bristol, Halloran's opponent, | will have similar backing in the Bell eity, but his delegation there is only votes. In Hartford, the largest of | he three cities in the first district, both men are reported to have some strength. The local candidate, be- ,ause of his friendship with Fred | Holt who only recently withdrew rom the congressional race. is counted upon to secure much of the support that was lined up for Holt Both Halloran and Dutton have made l
