LEADERS STIR UP
 DEMOCRACY'S IRE
Change in Congressional Con- Yenti0n Date Causes Resentment
PUT OFF TO OCTOBER 2
New Britain Delegate Not Informed of Meeting Called to Make Switch -LOnergan still Silent on Possible Candidacy.

Local delegates to the democratic congressional convention who plan ned to go to the Garde hotel at Hartford tomorrow morning to urge
 the nomination of former Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa today received notitica- ton that the convention has been postponed until October 9.
 Inquiry elicited the information that the change from the original date, September IT. was voted at a
 meeting to which Darius Benjamin,
 local member of the congressional
 committee, had not been called and that it was against his wishes. Paonessa Avowed Candidate
 Paonessa is still the only avowed candidate for the nomination. At the state convention in New London last week it was rumored that Au- gustine Lonergan of Hartford Is fla .vored in the Capital City, but eff forts to get definite statement from the former member of the house of representatives were un- availing. Sponsors of the Paonessa boom who have been in communi- cation with delegates throughout the county report no outward move ment to win delegates for any can didate other than the former local mayor.
 County Meeting Thursday
 The change in convention dates
 will bring the county convention
 here before the congressional dele
 gates meet, the former meeting hav-
 ing been scheduled for Thursday. An effort has been made to prevail up on Paonessa to accept nomination
 for sheriff at the county convention
 but the suggestion has been rejected.
 In view of the fact that the New
 Britain delegates received notice of
 the original convention date more than week ago, they say they are
 not impressed by the explanation that the change was made to allow
 more ample notice to the 2S delega- tions.

Hartford, Sept. 16.-In contrast with former state conventions of the republican party. the gathering last night was colorless and lacking in the spirit which usually marks oc- casons of this nature.
 Hotel iobbios were filled to the suffocation point early in the eve- ming and the old handshaking game was carried on extensively as dele gates from far off points greeted old friends and office holders.
 J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the state central committee, hustled into a hotel dining room and sat down for dinner with a group of friends
 Clarence W. Seymour, candidate for the nomination for congressman, and Willard B. Rogers. the high powered director of the Seymour campaign, also entertained a party of friends at dinner.
 Celebrities were noted sprinkled through the crowd of lesser lights

 Rogers Attitude Discussed
 Conjecture on the party's stand on the 18th amendment was on every tongue. Many privately admitted that the party would be open to at tack through the nomination Of Lieutenant Governor Ernest E. Rogers for governor because of his dry tendencies, coupled with his willingness to stand behind a wet plank in the party platform. Others defended Rogers attitude. claiming that a man should put his own views into the background if he re ceires a mandate from his party to take an opposite tack.
 Ayerill Not Mentioned
 AS is usual at such gatherings, the rank and file were in the dark con- corning the party slate. It was gen. erally thought that there would be no outspoken opposition to Rogers for head of the ticket but no one appeared certain regarding the at trney generalship from which Judge Benjamin w. filling is retiring.

William Healy Critically Wounded Only a Few Hours After States At- torney, In Desperation, Calls Conference to Halt Crime.

Chicago Feb. lP}-William Healy crawled from an alley on the southsidc at a. m. today, two bull lets in his back. The gang guns were writing with lead their answer to the statements Of police and states at lorneN that the new outbreak Of crime must be stopped"
 lfcaly. probably fatally wounded was taken 10 the Peoples hospital where Johnny Gcnaro. another re- cent gang gun victim. lies in a criti- cal condition from bullet wounds It was the same hospital, too, that treated Healy five years ago when he was brought in suffering from two knife wounds also in the back.
 Refuses to Give Names
 As was the case five years ago. Hcaly today refused to name his as sailants. He maintained his silence even in the face of surgeons state mcnts that he had only a few hours to live. Mrs. Healy was summoned, and she called a priest, but though tho last rites Of the church were ad- mnistered, Hcaly kept his mouth shut.
 Loud curses and the roar Of an automobile aroused persons living near the scene Of the attack. The pistol shots followed and a molorcar sped away.
 Eight hours earlier. States Attor- ncy John A. Swanson and Police Commissioner William Russell had held a lengthy conference, brought about by four gang killings in as many days. and several recent bomb ings
 "I called the conference" said the states attorney, "because conditions have become positively alarming in this city. It became apparent with the assassinations We have been haN- ing in the laet few days. the bold and open manner in which they were done. the sudden apparent increase in bombing, that something drastic must be done 10 stop these things.
 The prosecutor said the commis- sioncr and himself had evolved a IItSllC illcdIIN ol lll''Nilr '''N 'i'N'e ton and one which we believe will have the derired effect Of ending this terrorism"
 Neither the states attorney nor the police commissioner would say what the plan was. Suffice it to say" declared tho commissioner 'rha, we are taking strong meas urcs.'

 Detectives reported no progress m their investigations Of four gang murders Of the past WeC&-tte SIaN- ngs of Barney Mitc&olI. cab com pany executive, and Glen Jackson cab driver: the murder Of Jullua Eosenheim. the police spy in the gang world: and the shooting to death early Sunday Of Joseph Cada' "Thc Dude" Officers were seeking to connect the latter two crimes. ana were looking for an unnamed Woh1- an whose face Cada slapped al a cabaret shortly before he was killed.
