 Considerable spice was dropped into the local political pot today by the definite announcement of friends of Councilman w. E. Hough that he would enter the mayoralty Tuesday, September 24. For several weeks past Mir. Hough has been urged by his followers to seek the post of chief executive and his en- try into the race should do much to enliven what for the past several years had been a dull political uit- uation.
 Mir. Hough is now completing his third term as a member of the city council. having been first elected at the city election in October. 1923, and taking office the first Monday in January, 1924. At that and suc- cecding elections he proved to be one of the biggest vote getters in the city and at present has large following. During his terms on the council he has served as chairman of the sewer and claims committees and was several months ago appoint ed. together with Councilman Charles R. Anderson and William A. Hayes, member of the committee to solicit bids for several of the city, $ properties including the city hall.
 The announcement that MT. Hough will seek the mayoralty will insure a contest at the forthcoming primary and city elections. While has not definitely stated that he would seek reelection, it is be- lievcd by those close to political af- fairs that he will. The mayor was in Hartford this morning and could not be reached.
 Council Candidates
 A petition for the candidacy of Edward l.. Dunn, contractor, of 4S1 North Main street is being circulated and the requisite number of signers vii undoubtedly be secured some time today. This petition is being sponsored by John Donnclly. form CT member of the council and un- successful candidate for mayor two years ago.
 Judd to Seek Re election
 Councilman Homer H. Judd an- nounced definitely today that he would seek reelection, asserting that he would serve as long as the pub lie wanted him." He promises to show increased strength at both the primary and city elections.
 It is believed that all other mcm- bers of the present council will also seek reelection while several oth- CTS. new to the political field, will at tempt to unseat some of the present board. Petitions already filed with the city clerk are those of Thomas A. Tracy, local newspaper editor. and Frank r. Gladowski teller in the Bristol National Bank.
 Continue Jones Case
 The case of Russell Jones of Huntsville. charged with embezzlc- ment of s1, 900 from his former em- ployer, C. A. Cowles, who conducts feed and grain stores in this city and Southington. was today continued by Judge Joseph M. Donovan until Tuesday morning. September IT. Jones, at the time of the alleged mis- appropriation of funds, was employ ed by Cowles as a salesman and col lector.
 The continuance was made neces- sary by the absence from the city to- day of Prosecuting Attorney An thony J. Rich and the fact that the state officer who made the arrest would not be available until after the middle of September.
