Jack Sharkey, the bahbling Bos- ton gob. certainly never had any thing on Bushy Graham for spout ing before a bout. From the way the Utica featherweight has been talking about knocking 'Battalino, worlds featherweight champion. out within two or three rounds, 1t ap- pears that in Graham's mind, the fight is already over.
 We sometimes wonder when we hear fighters spout like Graham has since he arrived in Hartford last Sunday, whether they aren't finding it necessary to keep talking in or der to sustain their courage.
 Graham predicts he will knock out Battalino inside of three rounds. We'll, he might. Anything is pos sible. But, we figure that Battalino knows enough to avoid Graham's efforts to produce sleep producing punch. In fact, there is a strong suspicion that Graham is beginning to fear that the champion Is lot better fighter than he has been rated.
 The fight tomorrow night is at tracting widespread attention from fight customers and New Britain will be we'll represented. It would be a wise move for fans in this city to secure their tickets immediately because the choice seats remaining, are few.
 Battalino is in wonderful shape right now. In fact, according to those who have been watching him work out, 1t has been a long time since he has appeared to be as good as he is right now. Bat isn't mak ing any predictions about the fight. He generally doesn't predict wheth- CT he will win or lose. He prefers to do his talking with his padded fists.
 Commissioner Thomas E .Dono- hue, one of the biggest figures in the boxing world in this country, put Graham's manager right on the mat when that worthy demanded a ref cree from out of the state. Con- missioner Donohue informed the Graham stable and the world at large that he was the boxing boss in this state and as such, he would name the referee for the fight.
 Stanley Isaacs, president of the National Boxing association, took up the cudgels for Graham in the mat ter but he received the same an- sWer as the Graham stable received. So, Connecticut referee will be selected by Commissioner Donohue The selection will not be made known until just before the fight to- morrow night.
 Graham threatens to claim the featherHeight title if he wins to- morrow night. His contract calls for him to come In over the feath- erweight limit of l26 pounds. He says he will come in at 1o5 and If he wins, he will declare that he Is the worlds champion.
 One thing necessary to give him the chance to claim the title, is for him to win tomorrow nights bout. Battalino will have something 10 say about that.

HUGHES To Be

multi-millianoire oil and utility
magnate appeared to have gath
cred but few converts. An >ver-
whelming majority of the Senate,
while not particularly friendly to

tion because OF his brilliance and
his great success at the bar. Un.
less something unforeseen occurs,
he will be overwhelmingly con-
firmed when his nomination
reaches a vote.
Both Norris and Doherty paid
tribute to his legal brilliance
They attacked his appointment
on a different ground. Doherty
said Hughes was "prejudiced" On
many great questions and de-
clared his appointment was cngi-
neered by a political clique"
that sought to rule the country.
Norris said his appointment was
a political football" which de-
tracted from the high ideats Of
the Supreme Court. He ljded
that no man who resigns from
the Supreme Court to seek po-
litical and financials gains should
ever be reappointed.
Such a procedure must in
evitably encourage and stimulate
political activity on the part Of
the Supreme Court" said Norris.
Carried to its logical conclusion.
it will mean that judges who de-
sire to follow the course pursued
by Mr.. Hughes will be influenced

their decisions and cater to the

The Senate Judiciary Commit.
tee, after hearing Norris objection
and a long protest from Doherty,
approved the appointment by a

ley, yesterday issued a lengthy
statement in whfch he declared
that, claims of local organiza-

Crosby will automatically attain
a civilian status following his re-
tirement arch 81.
Plan Campaign
Members of the organizations
who will attend : the meeting
called by Murphy are prepared
to wage an intensive campaign
against the appointment Of Gen
eral Crosby.
The view is taken by the
majority that General Crosby
will belong to the army despite
claims of the War Secretary and
that his appointment will there
fore be in violation of the
organic act. In this connection
it is also understood that the
Jones bill which would make out
SiderS eligible for appointment to
the Board of Commissioners is to
come in for it's share Of criticism
and opposition.
President Hoover remains ada
mant and the fight probably will
be waged in the Senate.

cations in Washington were going

EDITOR IN DRIVE
ON DRY LAW

Howard L. Scott, editor of the
Keystone News of Harrisburg,
Pa, and initiator of a referendum
for repeal of the prohibition
amendment in his home State,
will appear before the House
Judiciary Committee tomorrow
morning to lay before that body
his reasons for nationwide
referendum on the subject.
In four small cities in Pennsyl-
vania the names of more than
$4,000 persons have been pro
cured who favor modification of
the amendment which would leg
allze 234 per cent beer.
Following his appearance be-
fore the committee, Scott intends
to go into Ohio, the larger cities
OF Pennsylvania and New jersey.
Where he will circulate his peti
tions.
The petition reads as follows:
Should both bodies of the
Pennsylvania general assembly
the State senate, the house of
representatives, and the Pennsyl-
Vanla Representatives in Congress.
be requested to support a consti-
tutlonal amendment to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitutional the United States,
known as the prohibition amend
ment."
In making clear his own posi-
ton in regard to prohibition,
Scott emphasizes the fact that
he stands first, last and always
for temperance as prohibition de-

Storm of Criticism
Threatens to Upset
Juryless Trial Bill

Having encountered wide
spread opposition to the Wicker
sham law enforcement commits
sion's proposed revision of Fed
eral court procedure to strengthen
prohibition enforcement. the
ChriStopherson House Judiciary
subcommittee met behind closed
doors today to begin revision Of
the measures.
With the court measures now
heading the House calendar of
prohibition reforms asked by
President Hoover and his COM
mission, every effort will be made
to reconcile conflicting elements
and pave the way for early pas
sage of the bills.
Two lesser bills have been
added to the committees court
measures by Representative Chris
topherson (RD Of South Dakota,
chairman of the subcommittee at
the request of the commission.
One permits service by publica-
ton in paddock Injunction cases
If the owner Of a building is
apparently evading service and
the second would give State.
county and municipal officers the
right to make arrests for viola
tion Of the prohibition laws and
carry the cases into the Federal
courts.
The latter bill, Christopherson
said, would permit the bringing
Of cases by State officers in Fed
eral courts in States, such as
New York, which do not have a
State enforcement act, and in
localities where opposition to pro-
hibition is so pronounced that
local juries will not convict.
The principal court revision
bills-the juryless trials proceed

of minor offenders-were ex.
