was at the helm when Paonessa was
reelected in 1924. and again last
spring when the present mayor was
chosen for a third term. The party
organization which two weeks ago
cut the republican lead to the loves
mark it has touched in presden-
tai election in many years was per-
sonally directed by Chairman keev-
crs.
The party under the craftsmanship
of Mr.. keevers has also made pro-
gress from financial standpoint.
When he took office there was
substantial deficit on the books,
whereas his report to the town clerk
today shows what is perhaps the
greatest balance ever known to the
democrats in post-elcction period.
Three years ago Keevers asked
the committee to relieve him of his
duties but his resignation was tabled
and after much persuasion he agreed
to carry on the work for the time
being. but he said today that he can
not consider further postponement
of action on the resignation. His
duties as superintendent of the
printing division of the N~r Depar-
ture Co. plant in Bristol have been
increasing. making it difficult for
him to give the time necessary to the
craftsmanship.
In the republican ranks it is gem
orally considered that Attorney Har-
ry Ginsburg. the present vice chair
man of the committee, will be adj
yanced to Alderman Judd's position.
In democratic circles. it is not
known who will succeed Keevers,
leaders of the party said today. At
torney David l.. Dunn. former chair
man of the police board is vice
chairman of the committee.

RADICAL SHAkEUP
IN Il. 5. Lineup
Coach Cassidy Makes Changes
for Game With Hartford

Probably the most radical change
ever to take place in the lineup OF
the New Britain High school team
on the eve of it's annual football
game against Hartford Public High
school eleven is contemplated by
Coach George NJ. Cassidy. 1t in
wolves the shifting of Albert Middle
ton from halfback to end on the Of
Tense and the shifting Of Josep,,
Bogdanski rom end to halfback. On
the defense the players will resums
their old positions.
Coach Cassidy also plans to take
John DUNN from the regular line
up and replace him with Henry
son. who will be starting his first
game Gwiazdas sensational play
on the second team won him the
promotion.
The coach called all the membe rs
of the first squad into a conference
building of the school today. He
told them he had fear for their sue
cess against Hartford High until he
saw what they could do in the New
Haven game. According to Mr..
Cassidy the score in that game
should have been 81 to 0.

The breaks Of the New Haven
game were given by the coach for
the failure of the team to win the
game instead Of being held to u

1t was the fault Of poor judgment
that the team did not cross the goal
line.
You went down the field four
times and were only stopped once"
he declared. He pointed to the fact
that fumbles and the final whistle
were instrumental in the failure
rather than the defense of the Hill

Thought Ship Safe
John Boxil, a negro stoker of the
Vestris, who was rescued by the
Battleship Wyoming was quoted in
dispatches from Norfolk. Va. as
saving that the Vestris was unable
to reach the Voltaire by radio and
so reported to the line. which then
notified Captain Carey that it would
notify the Noltaire to go to his as
sistance. BoXil said the officers and
crew Of the Vestris did not believe
the boat would sink, but thought
that she would have to be towed in
and wished the Noltaire to do this
in order to save salvage fees.
Calls Earlier Hearing
Information obtained by futile
and the possibility that witnesses
might leave his jurisdiction caused
him to call a hearing for this aft
crnoon. When the session ended
Saturday an adjournment was taken
till Tuesday.
Two nautical advisers represent
ing the United States and Great
Britain have been designated to as
sist at the hearings.
In addition to his effort to fix
the guilt for the delay in sending
the S o S. Mr.. futile today had in
mind several other lines of inquiry.
He intended to look into a re-
port that vessels were within rs
miles and did not answer the dis
tress signal.
He also planned to inquire into
the slowing of the cargo. which
some accounts said shifted enough
to emphasize the fatal list, and in
to the stories Of firemen that a coal
port. open when the Vestris sailed,
let tons OF water into the vessel.
The inquiry by the Steamboat In
spection service into the clean bill
of health given the ship by their
local inspectors also continues to-
day.
The chief officer and the chief en-
gincer OF the Vestrs testified at the
futile inquiry that five leaks were
found after the ship put to sea.
