Washington. March b.-Senator Walsh. democrat, Massachusetts. to- day replied 10 the appeal Of Governor Cox to repudiate baseless and repre- hensible democratic attacks on Presi- dent Coolidge by issuing a statement in which he denounced the governors action and extreme partisanship.
 '"Tho governor Of Massachusetts in criticising certain democratic senators for what he calls 'contemptible par tisanship' resorts to the same kind of partisanship as that of which he com plains by attempting to lecture me-" said Senator Walsh.
 Ut is one thing to impute dishon- esty to a public man and quite anoth- CT thing to criticisc his political judg- inent No one has impugned the honesty Of Calvin Coolidge. He would bo impTeEnable against such an as- sault if any were made. His political judgment. however, has been criticJsed and such criticism is perfectly legiti- mate"

W. Klett, the leader Of the party or. ganization here; Edward r.. Hall and others were present.
 Ii is reported that efforts were made to draft Judge Alling.
 The Herald" asked Judge AlIing this afternoon whether he had dcctd- cd to accept the nomination. He re- piled: Not so far as I've heard. Later he was asked whether he might seek the nomination. He replied that if he reached any decision he would make an announcement.
 Quiglcy Reported Friendly.
 An interesting angle of the sitta- ton is that Judge filling was assured Of support from the Quigley faction. This is said to have been one of the important points discussed at this mornings conference. Republican leaders realize that they cannot hope to win if ex-Mayor George A. Quig- ley and others are hostile to their candidate. They also know 1t would help their cause if Quigley would not open war on their man.
 The political situation has taken an unusual turn within 4s hours. Fred erick Holmes announced Thursday that he would be a candidate for the republican nomination and it was generally agreed that he had the backing Of the organization.

WOMAN'S CONSCIENCE CAUSES MAYS ARREST
East Haddam Citizen Ac- cused of Arson on State-
 ment by "Lady-Friend"

East Hampton, Conn. March s. Albert Rich who was arrested last yes terday by State officer Arthur E. Cone
 of Hartford. was bound over under
 s5,000 bonds for trial at the April term of the Middlesex county superior court on the charge of arson. He had pleaded not guilty before Grand Juror John German but the state officer of- fercd in evidence statement sworn to by Mrs. Edward Graham, a very close
 friend Of Rich, in which the allegation was that Rich set the fire which de- stroyed his home on the night of Mo- vember 29 last. The state had six other witnesses but their names were not disclosed and they were not called. It is said that quarrel which took place Thursday between Mrs. Graham and Rich led to the statement which Mrs. Graham gave the police under oath.
 The incident created great interest here last night when it was known that Rich had been arrested and was to have hearing and townspeopic ex- pected to be al the town hall when Rich was arraigned. However. their intentions had been anticipated and hearing was held at Grand Juror Cor mans home. Rich appealed to four citizens in toWh to be his bondsman but each declined to serve and he was taken to Haddam jail.
 The fire which destroyed Rich's home was regarded as mysterious. Most Of the furniture in it belonged to Mrs. Rich who was in Florida at Inc time. She had left her husband shortly before that. it is said because Of Rich's attentions to Mrs. Graham. Fire Chief Merton Weir and State Ofli- cer Cone kept on work on the fire case as they believed. they claimed. that Rich could ten more about it than he had. Recently Rich was warned by Mr. Graham that he was 10 stop his at tentions toward Mrs Graham and Grand Juror German early this week is said 10 have served formal notice on Rich in behalf Of Graham. Thurs day Rich went to Mrs. Graham's house and quarrel followed. Afterwards. according te the officers Mrs. Graham said she desired 10 tell story. "iu order 10 ease her conscience" after she had signed a statement Rich was arrested. He has been employed at plant in Middlctuwn and formerly worked here.
 Tho officers say that thc statement oi Mrs. Graham is 10 inc elect that Kirh had told here that lr s't the fire in order to get si GOO of the s25og insurance on 1t. and that he had pro- posed tO her that they elope. Mrs. Graham is said to have claimed that she did not like the idea of cloping and this was one of the reasons that she and Rich quarreled. The officers also say that Mrs. Graham had told them she was tired Of Rich's atten- tions to her. They were prepared to offer considerable evidence at the hearing last night, they said. but found il unnecessary. In the superior court fl is expected the state will also charge Rich with attempting to de- fraud insurance companies.
