Willard A. Hunt, president of the local branch Of the Connecticut Medical league, announced his in- tenton this morning of becoming a candidate for representative from this city at the November election. As Mir. Hunt is registrar of voters and strong worker of the repub- lican party, the impression was widespread today that he will seek the nomination of his own party, rather than run on an independent ticket If this action is taken, the G. o. r. caucus, gathering of the near future, promises to have some fireworks. Some consternation was expressed today at the announce ment as local politicians said that the c, Q. P. leaders favored one man for representative and were forced to accept another because of his general popularity. What they will do with a third is matter of conjecture.
 Mir. Hunt's~strong fight against compulsory vaccination when the health board went through a series of hectic meetings, attracted state wide attention. If he goes into the caucus with the support of all the signers of the petition asking the health board to modify it's ruling in regard to vaccination in the schools, there is little doubt of his nomination. The Medical Liberty league held a meeting last night and endorsed tho Hunt candidacy.
 Judge Epaphroditus Peck and George II. Quinion have been men, tioned frequently for the nomna- tions by the republicans while the names of Arthur S. Barnes, editor of the Bristol Press and Dr. B. B. Robbins were also brought up.
 If elected MT Hunt will fight in the legislature for laws which will not allow compulsory vaccination He was an exponent of the vaccine treatment until illness developed among his children, which he as- serts was traceable to the virus.
