HART AND MANGAN
 IN WORDY BATTLE
(Continued From First Page)

the chief, his temper rising, asked him to kindly wait until he had concluded his statement.
 "I'll take you downstairs to read Stoeckels letter and show you where you're wrong" Judge Mangan chal- lenged and the chief accepted it. Judge Mangan and Chief Hart went to the chiefs office and perused the letter, Judge Mangan contending that such offenses as drunken driv- ing. reckless driving and evading re- sponsibility were meant to be pun ished by the summary taking of li- censes and Chief Hart replying that already the license of driver charg- ed with being under the influence of liquor had been taken from him and kept, despite the fact that the charge was nolled later in police court.
 Will Appeal to Stoeckel
 Finally, Sowa turned in his license and Judge Mangan advised him to call on Commissioner Stoeckel today and explain that his license had been taken on August 30, almost two weeks ago. He was without the li- cense from the time of his arrest until Sept. 9, when Chief Hart al- lowed him to use it with the under standing that he would turn it in today. Judge Mangan said after the dispute that for the moment he had forgotten his promise to the chief to have Sowa turn back the license to- day, but when he was reminded of it he could not conscientiously do any thing but advise him to take up the matter with Commissioner Stoeckel He questioned the commissioner right to call in licenses in some cases but made it clear that he did not blame Chief Hart for his action As far as I am concerned. Sowa can have his license today" the Chief assured Judge Mangan and Sowa. We are doing only what the commissioner requested"
 The original charge against Sowa was reckless driving, but Prosecuting Attorney Woods changed it to speed ing and told Judge Saxe that Officer Doty. while driving north on Stanley street, saw Sowa driving on Elm street at the approximate rate of 3[ or 35 miles an hour.

 in Public. Hubby Says

Los Angeles, Sept. II PS Charging that Jocelyn Lee, film actress, hurled dishes at him in public places and had given other evidences of unreasonable jeal- ousy, Luther A. Reed, screen di- rector has filed suit for divorce.
 The cdaple married three months ago. Miss Lee formerly was the wife of Henry Lehrmann' director, who divorced her in 1924, charging desertion. Reed was divorced about two years ago by Naomi Childers, former &C., tress.
 In his complaint Reed charged that while at dinner at San Francisco hotel his wife swore at him and hurled dishes across the table, while week ago at Agua Caliente, Mexico, she raised such a commotion they were ordered to leave. On another occasion, he charged, she clawed his face.

whicht shrouded the expeditions fate,
 All of the descriptions of the finding of the original relics tell of their being buried in the snow and ice. The skull in the picture of the landing place lies among tho rocks in a melted patch.
 It is quite possible the relic may have been overlooked because of the excitement of the expedition members who made the find and the fact that the picture was brought out with such speed and with so many others that editors overlooked it. The fact that it car- ried the matter of fact label. Place where Horn expedition landed at White Island' doubtless lessened the interest of European editors who handled these pictures and who were eager to get to those la beled relics"
 Seek Horn Identification
 Attempts are being made to get Dr. Horn to identify the picture and if he verifies the surmises it prob ably will clear up the fate of the missing member of the party, prob ably Knut Frankel. The two skele- tons brought back by pr. Horn were tentatively identified as those ot Andree and Nils Strindberg.
 This trio set out in July, 1897, in a balloon from Spitzbergen in ar attempt to fly over the north pole They sailed away into the mists and it was only a month ago that their fate was disclosed.

 CROSSES ATLANTIC

she replied quietly that her husband sleeps in the churchyard near her tiny cottage.
 Although travelling alone on train and steamer, Mrs. Selander is ca- pable of looking after her own in- terests. This Is proven by the fact that & New England railroad shortly will receive letter suggesting that it return slightly more than a dollar due to an overcharge by a ticket clerk.
 Believes in Prohibition
 She believes in prohibition. She thinks that If America actually had prohibition it would be good for the nation. In Sweden, she says, people must buy tickets to get their liquor and If they do not pay their bills or their taxes they do not get their tickets Thus, she pointed out, it is impossible for drinking people to spend all their money on liquor and not pay their bills,
 She was interested in the state ment made by Rev. c. J. F'redeen, of the Swedish Bethany church, who stated last week upon his return from Sweden that smoking was in creasing to the point where it seem cd to be almost universal among women in Sweden. T saw a lot of smoking among the women, and especially the young girls before ] left, and I suppose there are more of them doing it now" she said.
 She said she is glad the older women have not started the habit. She does not approve of smoking. but does not think that all women who smoke are wicked. She believes it is just fad. "The young ones are doing it so they all think they must do, the same thing" she said.
 Remembers Andree Expedition
 She remembers keenly the start of the Andree expedition in 1897 and the large packing case in which his balloon was crated for shipment to Spitzbergen. Her son Gustave was employed as a boy in Gutenberg 1aCtory ana dltdCHeQ the tIle llSHln to Andree's ship.
 Mrs. Selander described how the people of Sweden waited day after day for word from the ill-fated ex- petition. She still has in her posses sion Gottenberg newspapers telling all about the trip.
 She has never been on an air plane, simply because she has not had the opportunity. She believes that aviation is an established means of rapid transportation with a bril- liant future. She would be glad to take ride if the opportunity offer ed, she said.
 Mrs. Selander is not superstitious Her boat sails on the 18th day ot the month, but that means nothing more to her.
 She does not know when if ever sshe will return to this country, but says that some day she may come back again.

WALSH SAVES PARTY
 HARMONY IN CLASH
(Continued From First Page)

of conciliatfon was added by MT. Troup when he withdrew his resolu-. ton, leaving the selection of the state chairman in the hands of the committee later this afternoon. MT. Walsh, of Norwalk, told the delegates that he regarded it as "an,. insult to every member of the state committee to allow Cross to tell us what we can do and what we can't do. I, too, am Yale man. I'll re- sign if this resolution is adopted" James McDermott of West Haven, then moved that the resolution be tabled, after stating that he agreed the motion was lost. John E. R. Keevers, of New Britain. suggested that Dean Cross discuss the resolution on the floor, but his suggestion was shouted down. Then Timothy Lynch of Rockville. addressed the delegates, declaring that the gubernatorial nominee should have the right to name his own campaign management.
 | when IL lOOkeO the QdTkcSI TUT d wide-open break, Chairman Walsh spoke as follows:
 | T have been chairman of the state central committee for seven: ! years, and it is agreed that the com- mittee has the right to select it's own, chairman and secretary. But I rec- ognize that it is necessary and es- sential that we have harmony, votes, money and workers to elect the democratic ticket in the coming campaign in Connecticut. Thus far, this is the best convention | have attended in three years. Thus far, it has been the most harmonous. Notwithstanding what some commit teemen have already said, I believe that the secretary and have enough votes within the committee to retain our positions, but we want harmony. We put the good of the democratic party above ourselves. We are will-
 ing to give the nominee the right to
 select the chairman if he sees fit and believe that he can be trusted. I say to you and friends on the com
 mittee, let the resolution pass and
 allow the nominee to select his own
 chairman"
New Britain herald., 1930-09-11
even if nominated he would decline to accept. Many VerScions Issued


 Many Verscions Issued Many versions of the interviews | that Prof. Cross had with Chairman Walsh, David E. Fitzgerald, A. S. Lynch and Thomas J. Spellacy were talked over in the corridors and the general understanding was that MT. Cross was adamant.
 At one time it was understood that the name of P. B. O'Sullivan was put forward for state chairman by those who opposed Joseph Tone, who had been put forward by the anti-organi- ration side, but this was rejected. MT. O'Sullivan himself said he did not intend to mix up in the matter. He said he had declared he was a | candidate for no office.
 However, just before the conven- 1 ton met an understanding was reached that by resolution the nom- inee. MT. Cross, would be given the right to name his chairman. Then it was understood that Chairman Walsh and Secretary Lynch would retire and MT. O'Sullivan and MT. 1 Tone would be named respectively.
 Group in Hubbub | The gathering in the hotel lobby continued to be in a considerable hubbub because the organization of the state committee had overshadow- cd everything else, even to the makeup of the state ticket for which last night no one had been selected for secretary of state.
 The rules committee which had re- ceived from Secretary Lynch a pro- posed amendment 10 party rules dealing with town representation de- cided to make no change. The pres ent delegate body is over one thou sand and as no change is made the next convention will have the same number. All the rules committee did was to recommend that rules of the last convention govern this one.
 With a statement in sight in the committee fight Robert OConnel
 of Hamden, who had purposed tt
 offer Burton Mansfeld's name fol governor, said he would not do SC as the situation had been locked uI
 in the persistence of Walsh ant Lynch" to remain. If there was go
 ing to be a change, O'Connell said
 there woll be no objection t
 Prof. Cross for the governorshil and so far as he, O'Connell, wa : concerned he believed all delegate
 in the convention felt as hs l ;1iy iva, Nfr excellent candidate.
 Meet Just Before ii It was 10:52 o'clock before th
 convention got into running orde
 again with Homer S. Cummings a permanent chairman. A. s. Lynch secretary, and the assistants wh served last night in making tn temporary roll.
 The delegates continued to hay r the keenest interest in the event : of the night. It was said that a , one time Prof. Cross standing wit ) his back against the wall declare 5 that he would not recede from hi l position. It was clear just who wer
 in the room but it was said tha . Prof, Cross was told that "McNet l was not running this convention. The reports of thes committee O s rules, credentials and permanen l organization were adopted withou 3 protest.
