 The democratic party found itself party without 2 nominee last night when no candidate for representa- tive Tn the general assembly could be found within the party's ranks and determined movement against endorsing the republican choice was led by Frank J. O'Brien. The eau GUS held in the Town hall was therefore forced to defer the mat ter and place 1t in the hand of the town committee. There was some sentiment at the caucus in favor of endorsing Robert E. White. who was nominated by the republicans on Wednesday night. but Mir. O'Brien objected strenuously. He felt that the Jeffersonian party should make a fight and not bow to it's opponent without g struggle. The caucus, however. could find no candidate. and the democratic town committee was empowered to seek to secure one. or, failing in this by Monday. to adopt the more undesirable alterna- tive of endorsing Mir. White.
 The caucus felt differently with regard to the office of judge of pro- hate. Third Selectman Edward F. Prior urging that this office be taken out of politics and the present incumbent be assured Of return to office. A. H. Dresser agreed with Mr. Prior. and Judge Merritt O. Ryder, who was named by the re- puhlicans two nights ago. was en- dorsed unanimously.
 Edward P. Prior and William Cunningham. the present democra- tic justices of the peace, were re- nominated. On motion of MT. O'Brien, the town committee was instructed to secure a third candi- date or endorse one of the republi. can nominees.
