HILL NOT SEEKING
 POLITICAL OFFICE Will Not Enter Race for (. Q. P.
 Se@tnlan Nomination MOORE MAY ENTER FIELD
Town Shocked by News Of Sudden Death of Andrew Solomon-Aux- Hilary to Hold First Meeting of Season-Attending Field Day.

Dispelling q rumor. which has gained prominence throughout the community during the past few days. Richard NJ. Hill of Kensington today announced that he would not seek the nomination off first selectman at the coming republican caucus. Hill had been mentioned as kenslngtons and was said to have strong back ing throughout the district.
 Mir. Hill said today that he doubt ed that he would be in town this coming winter and had, therefore. declined to give the matter much thought. He is not especially active in political circles but was named by many local politicians as prob abe choice from the railroad district. It was also widely rumored that he would, in the event of his throwing his hat in the rang, gain the support of the Kensington League of Women Voters.
 Another announcement in connec- ton with the coming campaign which has been given considerable prominence, is the one to the effect that John P. Moore of kensington would be the democratic choice for nomination as tax collector. Mem bers of the democratic town com nittee have stated that Moore will probablv gain the democratic nom- ination at the caucus in which case II is thought that the democratic foot hold in the three districts would be considerably strengthened in regard to the balloting for tax collector Last year Moore refused the demo cratic nomination to the position and John P. Lewis was chosen as alter nate. Although Lewis campaigning vas brief and unprepared, he sue ceeded in making the closest race 1T last years elections, throwing a scare into republican political circles wher he was nosed out by Charles F Lewis, republican nominee, by onl1 four votes in the kensington district
 With Moores' name on the demo cratic ballot as nominee for tax col lector,. local democrats feel that stirring battle for the position "ouit take place in this town. It IS gen eralIy believed that he would pull the support of the kensington Lea que of Women Voters, the organlza ton which is credited with being th' principal factor of last years clos results in the balloting between L F. Lewis and John P. Lewis. I'm league is claimed to be still seeking the scalp of the present tax coilec'o [ and although it has not resumed It meetings. is thought to be one or th strongest bodies which will take par in the coming elections.
