 Has a Deficit of $3,5OO.

The Democratic State Central Committee spent s67,0oo in it's effort to carry the November election. It received s64.5O0 and has a deficit of S3,500 subject to change as bills and receipts come in. The election cost s22,0O0 more than the campaign of 1920.
 Mayor David B. FitzGerald of New Haven, Democratic candidate for governor contributed $4,215; Attor- ney Benjamin Shade of New Haven, candidate for attorney general con tributed $3,000; Fred P. Holt, candi- date for comptroller S2,50O; Thomas J. Spellacy, senatorial candidate S2,400; Homer S. Cummings. former National chairman, $S.500; Robert D. urer, $1,0O0; Colonel Frank M.

 Two years ago. when funds came harder, the state committee gave sparingly to the campaigns in several of the senatorial districts. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Twenty seventh districts were the only ones which received $1,OOo or more in 1920. This year at least a half dozen of the senatorial districts outside or the large cities, received S1,O0O from campaign. Senatoria districts within the larger cities pooled their funds with those of the local town commit tees.
