Hartford, Sept. 5-While adherents of Chairman J. Henry Roraback of the state Republican committee con- tinued to assert today that the state chairman would be chosen again by a. wide margin and were sitting tight in their belief.
 The local friends of the Healy-King- UllInan alliance were unwilling to concede ultimate defeat, though nak- ing no formal claim as to the out come. They still predict that the so- called triunvtrhte have an even chance of securing control of the next state committee, though this is rid tculed by the Roraback faction.
 The opposition element claim that a number of the districts claimed by the Rorahack men are still doubtful and while they are willing to make no claims. they insist that they are hopeful They are inclined to scout the claim of the Rorabac men as to the New Britain district, and declare that the claim of the Rora- ahck men of the 27th is very dubious. Other decidedly doubtful districts, ac- cording to the antiRoraback men. arc the 1 Eth and 1 9th Waterbury dis tricts and the 17th.

Sept. 5.-To all outward appearances, the industrial warfare precipi- tated by the drastic Daugh- erty injunction. has settled down today to a period of "wathful waiting" on the part of both the government and organized labor, pend ing the outcome of next Mondays court action as to the permanency of the far reaching injunction.
 Government officials generally breathed sigts of relief today that Labor Day had passed without de- ve1optng any untoward incidents that might force the governments hand. While steadfast in asserting that the Daugherty injunction will be enforced to the letter, officials were just as we'll pleased, that the endorsement called for no spectacular display on a day that is peculiarly la1bog's.
