He turned once more to the crowd:

A ripple of smiles passed over the

NOT EXCITED over
STATE CHAIRMAN
New Britain Democrats See No
HaSty Action Necessary

New Britain democrats have taken
no active part In the agitation for n
reorganized democratic state COM
mlttee, which involves the election
Of a new chairman, the belief here
being that the leadership should not
be determined until next year.
The state craftsmanship Is TO be
left vacant when the resignation OF
Edward NJ. Yeomans becomes effec-
tive and he assumes his place as a
superior court Judge. The terms of
all present state central committee
men expire next October and they
are either reelected or replaced. At
that time officers, including a chair
man. are named. Judge William +.
Mangan, committeeman from this
district, fails to see the need for
chairman uha cannot act since who
ever Is elected at this time must
come up for reelection next fall and
may be replaced. There are no
elections to be held In the interim.
Peter FitzHcnry Of Waterbury,
and ex-Mayor David FitzGerald of
New Haven are the asplrants for the
state chair. The latter is best known
In this city and is believed to be the
choice of the greater number OF
Jeftersonians from New Britain.

STILL MARK Time
ON Bullying WALL
Building Dept. Is Uncertain
Whether to Call Contractors

Should there be evidence OF defec-
tive workmanship in the construc-
ton of the bullying wall in West
Main street apartment house from
which six tenants have removed as
a safety measure, the building in
spectors may present charges against
Goz5o e. La Rocco, the builders, and
require their presence before the
building commission, 1t was indi-
Gated today.
Chief Inspector +, J. Hennessy
said today statements as to what
action will be taken are premature
since it is not possible to determine
what caused the buckle" until the
wall Is removed. There have been
instances in the past whore con-
tractors We're hailed before the COM
mission and one contractor cannot
now secure permits to work in New
Britain as punishment for re-
peated ordinance violations. The
policy of the department has been
one OF lcniency when 1t can be
practiced consistent with the safety
OF buildings. Gozzo e lie Rocco
have heretofore enjoyed an m
questioned reputation and unless
there is fragrant and wanton viola
ton of the law II is unlikely that
they will be barred from contracting
in this city it was said.

OBJECTS TO E. Ar.
PARADE POSITION
Adlutant Sternberg Will Ask
Stanley Post 10 Act

William Sternberg. adiutant OF
Stanley post, &. A. r.. stated today
that he intends to bring to the Off
cial attention OF the post at its next
regular meeting on Wednesday, De-
cemher .. the treatment accorded
the veterans OF the Civil war in the
recent parade OH Armisticc Day
Mr.. Sternberg stated that he did
not wish to be misunderstood In his
attitude toward this subject. He said
that neither he nor the other mem
hors Of the G., A. r. post wished to
be treated as special class, but he
aid think that in matter OF the
observance of an event that il con.
nnctti with tho history Of the ma.
ton, that the veterans OF the G. \.
consideration and not be neglected
in a manner which they feel is in
suting.
Mr.. StcrnhorE. although not
speaking Officially for Stanley post,
stated that he was roicing the
feelings Of the other members. lie
said that the veterans wished to do
their part in recognition Of the an
niversary of tho ending OF the
World war and in order to do this,
of the 10 members, nine turned
out.
When the parade wa. formed,
the division containing the G. A.,
L. veterans was preceded Ivy every
other organization with very few
exceptions in the line Of march.
"All we could Sec" Mr.. Sternberg
said. was automobiles advertising
their make and the dealers who
sold them" This, It seems, rankles
in the hearts OF these boys of
81"
what makes it worse, Mr. Stern
berg added, was that the parade
was under the auspices Of the Amer
lean Legion. We veterans thought
that when We turned out to show our
cooperation with m soldiers Of the
+, cent war that, seeing as We were
both veterans in the same cause,
that of defending our country, We
would not be entirely forgotten.
There should be no place In a mo
mortal parade Tor the commercial
side Of things, but it seems thai
everything that is done. every boil
day or Consecratcd day, is turned in
TO some way OF making money ]
don't sec why the ArmistiC Day pa
rade should be turned into an adj
vcrtisiug scheme for automobile
dealers or any other line of bust
ness"
Mr.. Stcrnucrg would make no at
tempt TO forecast tn" action of
Stanley post, but that there will be
some action taken he has no doubt.
He stated that all the old veterans
feel very kecnly the fact that with
only ten out of all the veterans of
the Civil war left they shonll be for
gotten and be made feel that there
is no place for them in things dcal-
ing with the World WAY. \ public
protest against the CcmmcrCialism
displayed in the recent parad" will
be one of tho matters taken up by
the post members.
