HAMILTON HOLT IS
 SENATE CANDIDATE
Does Not Brown on Running For Post on Democratic
 Ticket
Friends Here and All Over State Sug.
 gest Nominating Him


 Friends all over the state of Ham ilton Holt of Woodstock say he is very likely candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for United States Senator from Connecticut to succeed the late Frank 3. Brandegee.
 In it's editorial columns the Hart ford Times" speaks very well of Mr. Holt. referring to him as "a candi- date of entirely another type" in comparison with Homer Cummings, Thomas J. spellaey and ex-Congress- man Lonergan, against whom there is hostile sentiment in the rank and file of the party.
 Mrs. Weleh Favorable
 Mrs. Fannie Dixon Welch of Col umbia, vice chairman of the Demo cratic state central committee said that a great deal of pressure had been brought to bear upon her by Demo erats and independents in behalf of the nomination of Mir. Holt. She continued that especially in the east ern part of the state there is very pronounced sentiment in favor of Mr. Holt.
 When asked whether the fact that
 
 long in this state would in any way lessen his chances of nomination or his strength as candidate, Mrs. Welch said she did not think this would be the case, since though he had not been an elector in his state for long, he is distinctly of Connecti- cut ancestry and has been away only because of business connections.
 Mr. Holt has had long and varied political and diplomatic record. He is a citizen of the world as well as of Connecticut. He has without doubt a greater knowledge of world affairs and international relations than any other man mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic nomination. He possesses decorations awarded to him by eight sovereiEns and European powers including Italy, Greece, France, Japan and Poland.
 keegan Supporter Too
 There is little question but that Hamilton Holt would get i00G back ing from the Democrats of this sec ton where his ability IS recognized In a published statement E. ]. keeRan of Wilsonville, state central commit ltfHidH rom the 2ALh h4slfletf SaFH that he is all for Holt and believes this section of the state to be strong for him.
 December f6 has been set by Gov ernor Templeton as the date for the special election for the choice of Unit ed St te Senator to succeed Mir Bran degee, and henee nominations must be made by November 25 according Co Che provisions of the state law. This makes November 16 the last daY for the Republican caueuses and November II for Democratic.

 Years Ago, Found

The low water in the Quinebaug river was the indirect reason for q woman residing in the Pomfret street section recovering one days this week a wedding ring lost three years ago.

JOHN BYRNE FINDS
 SHORTAGE AT BANK
Bank Commissioner Eas Nor wich Banker Arrested For
 Embedding S146,241
Geo. A. Finn Used Funds to Recover
 Losses In Stock Market

Alleged defalcations totalling sI46.- Zal resulted in the arrest on Satur- day evening last of George A. Finn, treasurer of the Bankers Trust Com pany of Norwich. on q warrant sign ed by John E. Byrne of Putnam state bank commissioner. Discrepan- cies in Mir. Finn's accounts were found in the audit of the bank books that started Friday afternoon of last week by Bank Commissioner Byrne and Examiner Shippee.
 In acknowledging his wrongdoings, the young Norwich banker, formerly a state bank examiner. says that only since July has he been plunging the stock market so heavily that losses to the bank resulted. The arrest of his friend and former associate was one of the most distressing obliga- tions that has fallen in the line of duty of Commissioner Byrne since his appointment.
 The story of Mir. finn's downfall is the old old story over again. Through Gabriel C. Berker and Com pany, stockholders of Norwich, he started playing the stock market Some good winnings at the start gave him courage. Soon he lost, however, and his earnings were wiped out. Wishing to continue his investing, he yielded to the temptation of appro- priating some of the bank funds, easily available Co him, the treasurer of the institution.
 Angus Park. chief owner of the Assawaga Go. Mill at Dayville, presi- dent of the bank. and the directors. all successful and wealthy business men of Norwich. have already met the losses sustained by the bank through Finn's thefts. and hence there will be no loss to depositors or stock holders

 It was stated at the meeting that pr. Davis was not actuated by any financial question in considering the New York berth, but wanted to be where he would be near Columbia university and at the same time find more time for study. The New York church employs six paid assistants and has a congregation of HOO.
 It was voted to offer him a salary of $l.000 a year from the Bible class if he remains here. This is about s4OO more than he received in a free will offering last year. Pres ident Fletcher was instructed to ap- point a committee to arrange for raising the money.
 Dr. J. E. Conger. vice-president of the Federation of Men'sBible classes of America, which organization was launched in New Britain by the To- cal class, reported that in the event of Dr. Davis leaving, the federation was prepared 10 supply. speakers to fill the pulpit Sunday mornings Vice Presidents E. E. Weeks, H. A. Ira yer and E, A, Krause were appointed a committee 10 function in this ca pacity in case it becomes necessary.
 Other business transacted by the executive committee consisted in the reading of the resignation of Fred o. Rackliffe, who offered his resig- nation as vice-president because he left his political activities might be embarrassing to the class. The resignation was not accepted and MT. Rackliffe continues as first vice. president.
 Activities were gotten under way to start campaign for 25 or 30 young men to take up the study of scouting this year. with the Idea of furnishing scoutmasters and extend ing the boy scout work in the city.
 Lodges and factory days at Every mans Bible class were discussed and a committee will extend invitations within short time.

PRINCE HELPS
 CHICAGO BOY
RescueS Him From Sursing Crowd Which Breaks Lines
By The Associated Press.


 Chicago, Oct, 14.-Aftcr delaying his departure three hours to dance with nearly all Of three score wom- en at an exclusive dinner party at the Saddle and Cycle club, the Prince of Wales left for Detroit on a special train at 3;5j a. m. today.
 Smiling and affable, but tired af- ter nearly twenty hours Of constant activity. the heir 10 the British throne was driven directly from the club to the private car of Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Grand Trunk railroad, attached to the spe- cial, which had been held at the princess request.
 The princes progress throughout the city was hailed with outbursts of enthusiasm that several times threatened to overwhclm him and his hosts.
 Once surging crowds at the field museum brushed aside police lines and the princes party was pushed and jostled. In tho melee the prince himself picked up a small boy and saved him from being trampled.
 Again when he stopped at the Chi cago club, crowd of several thous- and got out of police control and impeded the progress of the automo- bile in which he was leaving.
 Throughout, the prince smiled and strove to satisfy the throngs. He remonstrated when the crush at the museum made 1t necessary for the party to leave by door which left an assembly of thousands disap- pointed. At the stock yards he eX pressed regret that the police had roped off a passage. He said he would rather not see people re- strained that way.
