ORNBURN NOT TO ENTER TICKET IN
 CITY PRIMARIES
Labor Candidate For Democratic Delegate Expects to Go to Con
 vention, However.

Satisfied with what has been ac- complished in showing up conditions within the. democratic party in New Haven city, Ira, M. Ornburn, secre- tary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, candidate. for district delegate to the democratic convention, will not enter a ticket i'll the primaries for Tuesday night. The time limit for ming such ticket expires tonight, Saturday. This does not mean, how ever that MT. Ornburn is out of the contest. Rather he expects to be a delegate to the national convention in New York as is indicated in a formal statement he issued defining his posi- ton. It follows:
 '"The objective l set out to attain. has been accomplished" MT. Ornburn said. While I have no doubt of my success i'll contest against the demo- cratic registrar that in itself could not prove to me the thing that democrats of this city have long suspected but have not been certain of. The win ming of delegation at a primary was not of itself the important issue in this campaign.
 Il have attained a greater victory than could be gained in any primary contest by ascertaining that one must not attempt to exercise his preroga- tive of contesting for the honor of serving his party. It has been proved to the satisfaction of all that the re- cent events coincident to the depriv- ing of citizens of this city of ther constitutional right to vote at their party primary and at elections had been condoed by those whose sworn duty it is to guard the citizenry against all such usurpat1on of their rights. There can be no mistaking that this contest has plainly made some high officials accessories to these high handed methods of control"
 --Uoes this mean that you are ou. of the race entirely for delegate to the na11onal convention?" MT. Ornburu was asked.
 No. It means only that have de- cided not to contest for the de1ega- tion from this city"
 Then you expect to attend the convention as delegate?"
 'I certainly do."
 "As a district de1egate?'
 That I am not prepared to say just at this time. But I want to impress the fact that the democratic conven- ton to be held in New York in June will find my name listed as one of the delegates from the state of Connecti- c1,t

position of assistant registrar thus by one stroke and with the city's money injecting his will unto the town com mittee. In addition thereto, besides be- ing deputy registrars, members of the town committee under the control of this modern Moses, secured places in the city government, some in direct vio- lation of the provisions of the city char ter. The first primary registration that came under the control of the democra- tic Moses and his fellow angels the deputy registrars. (wlio were also mem bers of the town committee and city workers) found many democrats who had opposed him in previous campaigns among the "casualities," charged up as printers errors Yet the state law gov erning party primaries and caucuses and governing the registration therof for which the city pays, specifically makes provision for the adding on of names of citizens who have been removed or classed among the missing by error when it. says. "The registrars of voters on the first and second Fridays in August shall sit for the purpose of making en- rollments for party primaries and cau- cuses and AT SUCH OTHER TIMES AS THE REGISTRARS MAY DEEM NECESSARY"
 Here is proof that if a mistake Or mistakes had been made that Mir Ca- hill had the power to reinstate at least those democrats wl1o had been removed by printers omissions There is fur ther proof that his predecessor i'll of flee had often added to the primary list the names of people who had been left off by error. Those proofs repose ill the town clerks office.
 The Cahill organization of registrars dehiantly threatened to remove and did remove the names from the lists. Old timers refer to the primary contest waged by the present mayor, David E. Fitzgerald against the mayor about 16 years ago, James B. Martin, and tell of the numbers who were deprived of their voting rights. It has been referred to as most disgraceful episode but the recent decapitation of the voting heads of democrats under the Cahill admins tration is charged as the most brazen attempt of any registrar of voters of any party recorded in modern times It went to two courts of this state and subsequently his appointees for whom he was directly responsible were con- victed and penalized for failure to per form the sworn duties of the office. The judge in sentencing the culprits gave voice to the following rebuke:
 ''If I had not sat i'll at this trial and heard the evidence I would not believe such a thing were possible in America" The able prosecutor in summing up be- fore the jury voiced the protest of the citizenry of all parties with these words: "If crimes such as these go unpunished then the government of America shall totter and fall Such methods as these are the taking away of the liberties

What many democrats would like to know is- Of what great college of po- itical science has this modern Moses, self appointed to lead the democrats out of the wilderness, been graduated from One would imagine they claim that the democratic party of the City of New Haven was composed of but one That one being Car Cahill It is easy to see that man might attain the great prominence as such a leader, as Ca hill sets himself up as But by search of the records of the public hearings that had for their purpose the uplifting of humanity, the protection of the rights of the citizens, the allevating of the dis tress coincident to the republican de pression, to the granting of decent wage and living conditions to school teachers, firemen and policemen, it will be found that Mir Cahil1 was notably among THOSE NOT PRESENT. Also in the city manager contest whereby an at tempt was being made to transfer the seat of government from New Haven to Hartford, it is said that MT. Cahi1l not alone aided the framers of this scheme by his nonappearance in opposi- ton to it, but that with the citizens money he employed every Cahil1 cohort within the election polling places, thus preventing any aid that they. may have been able to give the defenders of home rule in the city of New Haven.
 Mr. Cahill sets himself up as the only democrat fit to represent this district. Does 1t follow Democrats are asking that by submitting to republican dicta- tion, that being the mere secretary to the republican registrar of voters places him on this self-constructed pedestal? Is 1t the fact that when young demo cratic lawyers who by hard work strug- gling to attain an educaton and better their condition in life, go to de1nocra- tic convention for the selection of a democratic judge of probate that Czar Cahi1l can deny them the right to even speak from the floor of democratic convention in opposition to the naming of any republican no matter who or what he may be? Nevertheless that is what he has done, it is charged.
 At the time that this new Moses was contesting for the registrarship of the party in New Haven he said in sub stance that the democratic registrar of voters should attend solely to the du- ties of the registration of citizens should not attempt to dictate to the party candi- dates or policies That the citizens of the city of New Haven were paying to maintain that office that they might have an honest registration of voters for both primaries and elections. He then said that he would promise the people if he succeeded to office that he would see to 1t that neither the registrar nor his assistants whom he appointed would attempt the usurpation of power of the democratic town committee. How has he kept his promise?
 One of his first acts was to appoint members of the town committee to the

NEW HAVEN GIVES ANTI-UNION FIRM
 $500 PRESENT
Loss of Time on New Bridge Con tract to Labor Troubles But
 Not "Organized."

The policy of the City of New Ha- ven in awarding large contracts to non union firms who happen to be the lowest bidders without being full ly assured that the contractors can "deliver the goods at the price and in the time stipulated, resulted this week Ill the city practically making a present of $8, 300 to a non-union firm engaged in the construction of the new Tom1inson bridge, After a sev- era1 hours conference Thursday at which the firm claimed $17.700, an agreement was reached whereby the company will take $10800 and call it square, the city to pay $500 and the C. w. B1akes1ee firm. another anti union organization, the balance:
 The offended" firm is the Phoenix Bridge company of Pennsylvania, a notoriously anti-union concern, which the bridge at a price of $212,O00. Delivery was to be made within 300 days but due to labor trouble, in ability to get necessary materials and failure of the stone contractors, an- other non-union outfit, to deliver" the steel company claims 1t has been held up in delivery and erection of the steel and therefore demanded that the city settle.
 Where the labor troubles come in was not set forth but as the bridge is being built non-union throughout 1t is certain that they were not caused by Organized Labor. The steel company claimed the steel ready and waiting for delivery and erection and that to hold it has lost them in terest on their profits, cost of bonds, extra costs by the delay, and other sundry items all to the tune of $17,- 7O0
 The B1akes1ee company is the gen. eral contractor on the abutnents and approaches and were thus brought In as a party to the delay, it being claimed their part of the job Is yet incomplete SO the steel work cannot go on. Yet although the city is supposed to be protected against such delays nevertheless at the conference Thurs day the city was mulcted to the amount of $8, 800 for the Blakeslee company delays while that firm gets off with $2,5O0 The settlement was made, so tis said, through the desire of all con- cerned to keep the matter out Of court.
 Similar incidents occurred III the construction of the Middletown avenue bridge few years ago which also was given to notorious1y antiunion firms. When the contract was finished and the bills presented the city found it. self up against bills for some $15,OOQ for extras, which the non-union firms found were very necessary to com p1ete the job. The city had to pay then and now it pays again.
