Charles H. Newton will retire as chairman Of the republican town committee at the caucus of that party which will be held tonight, he announced today. Mir. Newton, who has held this position for the past two years. has found that the de- rands Of his factory, the Newton Mfg. Co.,, have required so much of his time that he could not continue any longer as republican leader here without sacrificing time which should be given to his business or that which should be devoted to his political work He has therefore decided to retire from office and will not be a candidate to succeed himself. The party will be sorry to see such q faithful worker retire.
 The town committee is to be elected a. the caucus which will be held in the Town hall this evening at o'clock. It has been the cus- tom in the past to elect a chairman and vice. chairman and have the chairman appoint the rest or his committee: thls procedure will prob ably be followed tonight The 1ues- ton is a successor to MT. Newton is an open one, and no names have been mentioned as yet In this con- nection.
 Two delegates to the state con- TertioH' will be elected tonight. It has been customary to send the towns presentative in the legisla- ture and the town committee chair man. The precedent will probably be followed and Plainville's delega- tion will consist of John J. Kimmel and whoever is elected to succeed Mir. Newton. It was said by party leaders today that the delegation would probably be sent without in- structions, although it is a foregone conclusion that it will cast its gu- bernatorial votes for It's fellow townsman. Governor John H. Trum- bull.
 Delegations will also be selected to attend the congressional, sena- torial, and county conventions. AL though the naming of two delegates to probate court district meeting was included in the call, this was a mere form. as Plainvile forms probate district by itself and the judge is chosen at the regular town election in October.
 The democratic caucus will be held Monday night.
