WILL NOT PROTEST
 DURANT NOMINATION
Supporters of Senator Hall Finally Admit Their
 Defeat

New Haven. Oct. 3 Pl-The nom- ford. will not be protested as state senator of the 18th district by fol- lowers of Senator Henry r. Hall. who was defeated by a vote of IF to II, at the republican convention at East Haven yesterday it was declar- ed today. Lieut.. Gov. J. Edwin Brinard last night signed the certi- ficate of nomination and this was forwarded to the secretary of the state central committee. Durant's nomination came yesterday after 32 ballots had been taken ending in deadlock of F to F. Yesterday Ralph J. Buell. of Madison was miss ing at roll call and the validity of the proxy held by John Rors was questioned and finally thrown out on the grounds that the convention had adopted the ruling that no more proxies would be allowed. lmme- diately after the roll call, giving Durant the nomination by a IF to II vote, the Hall faction declared they would seek redress by asking for an injunction to forbid the state secretary to accept Durants' nom- ination as final.
 Yesterday, after the convention broke up. rumors were prevalent among the delegates of the Hall sup porters that they had been wronged and various means of holding up the nomination of Durant were dis cussed. As the day went on how ever. they gradually gave in to the nomination and decided Durant had received a very lucky break. Dur ing the evening when Lieut.. Gov. Brainard signed the official certifi. cate of nomination.. all hopes ol protest to the courts melted away and the Durant faction were jubilant oyer the SucceJs they had achieved.

 sights Fillett
 The Radio Corporation received another message from the steamer America, saying that she had sight ed the Fillett, which was listing bad ly. and was rushing to her assist anCe.
 The America early today sent a wireless to the Associated Press say ing that she was hurrying to the as- sistance of the Dutch steamer Ce- laeno. in distress in a northwest gale It was apparently on this first CT. rand of mercy that the America sighted the Fillett.
 Similar Names
 The American is a ship of the Ha- waiian American line. Because ol the similarity of names 1t was al first believed that the steamer going to the aid of the Fillett was the United States liner America, which earlier today radioed the Associated Press that 1t was speeding to the a. sistance of the Dutch steamer Ce. laeno. in distress in a northwest gale
 Compass bearings given by the American, showed that it was onl, about 200 miles east of New York whereas the America was some 1,00( miles off Newfoundland.

Crowd of 75,OO0 Expected at Opening in New York Tomorrow-Umpire Will Cry "Play Ball' at 1:30 p. m.-Rival Managers Maneuvering Players for Possible Advantages.

New York, Oct. Up--1t's the day before the world series, but Miller Huggins would be just as satisfied if it were the day before Christmas. Baseballs worlds championship will have been decided by then and Mill ler's burdens will have been cast aside for another year. Just now he's barely standing under the strain,
 Hugsins Faces Hard Job
 There are few to blame the pilot of the American league champions of the last three years. Leading q squad of badly crippled New York Yankees into worlds series play against a team as worthy of respect as the St. Louis Cardinals is no sinecure for a man who takes his baseball as seriously as does Hug gins.
 With a more or less definite an nouncement from Higgins that Earle Combs. injured ccntertielder, would see action in the big series only as a pinch runner, if at all, Yankee stock dropped to a new low. The odds most frequently quoted now favor the Cardinals at to 3. There's little betting. most Ameri- can league partisans preferring to wait for even longer odds.
 Tanks Have Alibi
 To some observers it appeared L~ t,n cupying a rather enviable position and that Bill McKechnie and his healthy Cardinals should be doing all the worrying. In case of defeat. the Yankee alibi is prepared in ad- vance. however unintentional upon ths part of the reigning worlds champions. On the other hand. the Cardinals, at full strength, must win and even then may not get the credit due them.
 Apparently the Cardinals realize it. In their practice sessions at the Yankee stadium where the series opens at 1:30 eastern standard time tomorrow. they have had no time for jokes. They go about their busi- ness in grim earnest. impatient for actual conflict to begin.
 The Tanks on the other hand. act as though they have not care in the world. If Combs and Pennock are out. and Lazzeri. koenig and Ruth crippled. the America league titleholders appear untroubled just the same.
 Rival Managers Rcticcnt
 The rival managers are reticent as usual as to their pitching selections fo, the opening game but they'll cross up lot of expert observers if Waite Hoyt does not start for the Yankees and "Wee Willie" Sherdel fo. the Cardinals Huggins and Me "naturals" for the first game but that the final selection will have to wait until game time.
