THOMS OUT AFTER
 LOCAL DELEGATES Gubernatorial Aspirant Makes
 Personal Appeal Here JEFFERSoNIANS QUITE BUSY Gorbach Will Refuse to Serve on State Committee if Paonessa is Nominated Mayors Followers Expect Strong Opposition From Other Districts.

Abraham Gorbach, state central
 committeeman from this city, will de
 cline to serve in that capacity in the
 future. should Mayor Angelo M. Pao-
 nessa be nominated for any place on
 the state democratic ticket, in the
 convention which opens tomorrow
 night at Hartford. Such was his de- claration this morning, and in coming
 out at this time, 1t Is sensed by politi- cal observers that the breach in the l democratic party is a wide one in l this city.
 Mir. Gorbach was seen after he had held communion with Joseph NJ. Hal loran, who aspires for the congress sional nomination from this district. The state central committeeman was not bit backward about stating his position in regard to the election of a new member of the committee. Opposed to Paonessa
 Will you be candidate for a place on the democratic state central com mittee ?' Mir. Gorbach was asked by a reporter.
 T will not be on the state central committee if Angelo M. Paonessa is nominated for a place on the state ticket at the convention" MT. Cor bach said.
 Have you any preference as to who you would like to succeed you. in the event of Paonessa being nominated 2" Gorbach was asked.
 "I would be in favor of Judge VII lia, pI alderman from the sixth ward, suc- ceeding me in case of a turn in af- fairs" Gorbach said.
 Well, how about David L. Dunn, chairman of the local democratic town committee as your successor" was asked of Gorbach.
 Personally Dunn Is all right but he is too close to the present administra- ton to make me feel favorable to- ward placing him on the state cen tral committee" was the reply.
 Delegates To Meet Tonight
 From the above attitude it would seem as though the breach occasioned before the last city convention to choose the various delegates to con- and considerably broadened by the actions on that evening, are far from being anywhere near the process of repair. Just what will be the sentiment of some of the delegates when they convene tonight at the of flee of A. Gorbach in Booths block | for final instructions, is matter of | conjecture.
 It is being talked of about the city | today that secret meeting was held | last night by the Halloran supporters. | Just what transpired, no one seemed | to make it unit rule by the Halloran delegates will meet with some oppo- sition. A Main street business man who at present has no political axe to grind said this morning that he was when a delegate informed Jim that under no consideration \ ould he be bound by any unit rule hat would make him vote as favor lble to Halloran.
 Mayors Friends Not Worrying
 The supporters of Mayor Paonessa eemed in a very happy frame of hind today, and they ventured very title information as to the local sit ation. It is generally accepted that n view of the occurrences of the past ew weeks, that Mayor Paonessa is ot looking forward too much for the { upport of the local delegation for a lace on the state ticket.
