E. ". CHRIST RETIRES;
 VICTORY FOR QUIGLEY
Covert May Be Named G. o. ?. Central
 Committeeman

Further indication that the George A. Quigley insurgent wing o1 the republican party will be successful In Its drive against Ernest ". Christ IS claimed today by Quiglcyitcs in the announcement that MT. Christ Will not be a candidate for election to the state central committee and that Richard r. Covert is favored for the post.
 Members of Quigley's new politi- cal club declare the main object of their organization is 10 concentrate m a drive against Mir. Christ who is acting committeeman. They re- gently stated appointment of ex- Senator Covert would be taken as an agreeable compromise and an acceptable concession to Quigley.
 Announcement of Mr. Christ's in tontion to retire and Of the support for Covert is claimed by the insurgents to be q step in the direction of meeting their demands.
 QuiElcy's desire to have someone other than MT Christ as republican dictator for New Britain dates back 10 the last mayoralty campaign in which QuiEley claimed he was as- sured an open field for the republi- ran mayoralty nomination. and that MT. Christ later induced Gardner Weld to enter his name.

 LIVES WITH NEITHER
No. 1 Hales Husband Into Court for
 Non-Support

The story of the detention in Europe on account of the war, of
 Mrs. Leo DombroWski: of q divorce decree granted her husband while
 she was detained, and the subse-
 quent setting aside of of the decree
 by Judge L, r. Waldo Marvin in superior court on the ground that the defendant had not received mo- tice of the pendency Of the divorce action, was unravclIcd before Judge filling in police court this morning when the woman's husband was ar- raigned on the charge of non-sup- port.
 DombroWski, after obtaining the divorce, married another woman. who is still living. but he lives neither with wife No. 1 or No. 2. His first wife took s1,500 and went to Europe following numerous dis agreements between them as a re- suit of his finding her in the arms of 3 boarder. according to his ale gation. He has not lived with wife No. since his divorce from wife No. 1 was set aside, he said. Wife No. 2 lives in the house of the fam fly with whom he boards, but he has no marital relations with her and does not contribute 10 her sup port, he said. He earns S27 per week and is paying $13.50 per week for room, board, and laundry, and $10 per week to his boarding boss and mistress on a debt Of $500. leav- ing S3.50 for himself. He started two months ago to pay on the debt.
 Judge Alling remarked that the mere fact that a woman Is married to man does not give her the right to do as she pleases and compel him to support her.
 In reply to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein Mrs. Dom- browslli said she is desirous of liv- ing with her husband and has stop ped him an the street and urged reconciliation but he refuses 10 go to live with her or permit her to go to live with him.
 I'ollipI OWShI, CdIitu lO tue sldHa by his counsel, Judge F. B. Hunger ford, said his wife met him on the street and called him a vile name and slapped his face.
 He does not want 10 live with her because fifteen years ago he saw her kiss a boarder and during the en- suing three years of their life to- gether, there was constant trouble.
 Judge filling continued the case until next Wednesday morning, say ing there are numerous angles which he wishes time to consider,
