DENYING KEEPS MUM REGARDING STAND States He Has ''Nothins to Say .. ...s.. :. at the Present Time
 ---- ---- HEAVY VOTE IS EXPECTED
Berlin Court Cases Occupy Attention of Judge Griswold-Niss Murray To Speak in New Britain-An-
 nmal Meeting Today-Other Items.


 'T have nothing to say at the pres ent time" said Francis Deming, re- publican nominee for representative from Berlin in the general assembly, who was asked today about his plat form should he be elected to that position by the voters on Tuesday next.
 MT. Deming, who has just return ed from vacation trip to Vermont, said that he has not had time to ar range a platform as yet, although people of Berlin we'll know his stand on various matters, as they have been explained before on two other occasions, once when he, was elected ,epresentative, and another time when he was defeated at the caucus after having announced his candi- dacy.
 That the republican party is con- fident of winning the election as far as Berlin is concerned is evident from the fact that little campaign- ing has been done by this faction. It apparently takes the stand that Berlin has always gone republican and there Is no reason why change should manifest itself this year.
 Heavy Vote Is Expected
 If is one sure thing, however, that the democrats will be out in full force on November 4. They are putting forth a greater effort this year than ever before and it is prob able that their vote will be the larg- est they have yet cast in town.
 Fined $50 And Costs
 Dom,nick Mucons of New Britain WAN fined sS0 and costs in the Berlin town court last night on a charge of reckless driving. In case of an ap- neal. bonds were fixed at $150.
 Nucons was arrested last Sunday on the turnpike, following a crash with another car. The accident oc- cured near the International Silver Co.,, sign on the turnpike and Mu- cons. after striking the other car, ran his machine into lot. A state officer made the arrest.
 Other Court Cases
 .. Charles Peterson of Hartford, charged with reckless driving, was discharged and his case nolled. He was involved in an accident on Oc- tober 19, when, in order to avoid hitting another car, he crashed through a fence and into ditch on inc turnpike. The judge decided that the case was one for the civil court, rather than the criminal court. Sante Fazzera of New Britain, charged with reckless driving. was fined $25 and costs. He was arrest Cd Sunday by State Policeman sLavin after he had, at high rate of speed, passed the intersection of the New Britain road during heavy traffic.
 Frank Cardeno of Waterbury was fined S25 and costs, SIS of which was remitted, on a charge of reek- less driving. He was arrested on Sunday for speeding. Tt
