Quick wit on the part of Joseph Fleischer, 62 years old. of 15 Bel den street this morning saved him from serious injury from burns. His clothes became ignited in blaze which started in the plating room of the Stanley Rule X Level plant but before the fire could get beyond his arms and legs he plunged the upper par. of his body into a tank of water and then jumped into the tank to extinguish the blaze about his ankles.

When the gasoline came in contact with the fire in the saw dust a large blaze started.
 The foreman suffered burns about the forearms and ankles and after he was assisted from the water tank he was treated by the factory's phy- sician, Dr. Joseph L. Robinson. and the factory nurse. It is expected that he will be away from duty for about 10 days.

NURCNk MAY TAKE
 DEMOCRATIC HELM Expected to Become Temporary
 Chairman of Party Committee INTERNAL FRICTION RUMOR
Delay in Selecting Leader Reported Due to Marked Differences 0f Opinion Among Leaders Since Presidential Election.

Paul Nurczyk, a member of the board of finance and taxation and former alderman from the fifth ward, is expected to be installed as acting chairman of the democratic town committee when the commit teemen meet tomorrow night to make plans for the biennial cleo tion.
 Although the election is but a few weeks distant. the democrats have done nothing as an organization to prepare for the battle of ballots. John E. R. Keevers resigned the chairmanship after the presidential election and Attorney David l.. Dunn. vice chairman. also turned in his resignation, leaving the commit tee with neither a chairman nor a vice chairman.
 Internal strife has delayed reor- ganization of the party leaders. Sev- eral who have been approached with proffers of support for the chair manship have declined to accept and others who expressed willingness 10 serve were sidetracked as not pos sessing the qualifications to unite the factions into smoothly operating political unit.
 Commissioner Nurczyk is believed to enjoy the confidence of all blocs within the party. He held the office of fifth ward alderman from 1918 to 1920, and has been a member of the board of finance and taxation since 1925. His business is that of banker, CT, being associated with the Peo- ple's Savings bank.
