Mills Lawyers Seek To Have His
 Case Brought Into Federal Court
Legal Fight Similar to That Waged by Late Thomas McAuliffe-COntend State Has No Jurisdiction in Matter.

Hartford, Dec. 13.-A legal strug- gle over the trial of J. Willie Mills of New Britain, former prohibition enforcement officer who became in- volved in the Southington Inn raid, similar to that of the case of the late prohibition enforcement officer Thom- as McAuliffe two years ago, now seems assured.
 Mills has the same attorneys, Henry J. Calnen of Hartford and Walter Walsh of New Haven and they re- gently made a motion to the superior criminal court for more specific statement of the charges against Mills.
 Mills who was discovered at the Southington Inn, October 9, at a ta- ble with Senator Covert and Alder man Dehm of New Britain, was orig inally charged with accepting a bribe to influence his conduct in office.
 States Attorney Alcorn and the counsel for the accused agreed upon more specific statement" without having the court pass on the motion.
 The result is that the complaint as made more specific alleges that Mills was a federal enforcement officer. With that allegation in the complaint Mills counsel will make a motion to have the complaint dismissed in the state court on the ground that the federal court has sole jurisdiction.

 Friends and relatives of Koretz, said by the prosecutor to have been induced by him to invest several mill lions of dollars in the Bayano River Trust company of Panama, organized in 1911, have learned the company was a myth. Its alleged holding in Panama, represented as producing 25O, barrels of oil per day, never existed, according to investigators.

RORABACk VISITS
 PRESIDENT TODAY
Refuses to Comment Upon Lineup
 Of Connecticut Delegation
STILL FOR JUDGE KLETT
State G. o. P. Chief Says State Com- mittee Has Not Withdrawn Its Endorsement of Local Man for United States Attorney.
BY GEORGE 1T. MANNING


 (washington Bureau of New Britain Herald)
 Washington, Dec. 13.-J. Henr, Roraback, who holds the dual posi-. tions of republican national commit. teeman and state chairman for Con- necticut called at the White House this morning and spent about 15 minutes discussing with President Coolidge, Connecticut politics and the political situation all over the coun- try in general.
 Mir. Roraback who has been here for the last three days attending the meeting of the republican national committee modestly stated for publi- cation that he called to pay his re- spects to MT. Coolidge. and was re- luctant to admit that politics had been discussed at all.
 MT. Roraback expressed unusual qualification over the action of the republican national committee yes- terday in agreeing to the increase ir the number of delegates from Con- necticut to the republican national convention next year to IT, which is three more than the state had in 1924. Connecticut was to get two additional convention delegates under an apportionment made some months ago. and one more is added through the decision of the republican nation- al committee to credit one more dele- gate to each state which was carried by Harding in 1920.
 Holds Both Jobs.
 Nothing was done at the republican committee meeting yesterday to cause Mir. Roraback to relinquish one of the two positions he holds. he said, as national committeeman and state 
 Are you still holding both jobs7" Mir. Roraback was asked. Well I was when left home, and expect still am, but you never can tell if happened while was away" he replied.
 When asked if he thought Con- necticut delegation to the republican next year will be pledged for renomination of President Cool idge, and if he believed Coolidge would g.t the nomination. Mir. Rora- back suggested it was a little early at this time to tell Anything might happen. When asked fl he had given Mir. Coolidge assurance that the Con- necticut delegates would be for him, and that the states votes on election day would be found In the Coolidge column, Mir. Roraback said his call had been "iust personal"
 Nt In Postmaster Fight. Mir. Rorahack said he had done nothing while here about the sauabble over the Bridgeport postmastership, about which the Roraback and John '. King forces arc badly split.
 There arc enough things to worry about without going into fights over he said. and added that he is leaving the selection of the post master entirely in the hands of the Bridgeport republican town commit lee.
 StiIl Is For KIctt. Nothing has been done recently about the appointment of a United States district attorney for Connecti- l ut. so far as he is aware, Mir. Rora- Jack said. He admitted that over a | year ago he and the other members 'f the state republican committee had l
