 is that likely to happen. Whether this is news to MT. Quigley we do not know.
 Some importance seems to be attached to a reported interview between Richard Covert, member of the state Republican central committee from New Britain, and Mr, Quigley. Obviously, MT. Covert cannot be adverse to such an inter- view. What is important about 1t. however, is whether Mr. Covert ris- itcd Mr. Quigley Of his own accord, or whether MT. Quigley asked him to make friendly call to talk about the unreasonable weather. On thls noint we shall not function as an umpire, merely pausing 10 state that our information-which may be wrong or it may be right - IS that Mir. Quigley extended the ln- vitation.

The grapevine says they certainly did.
 The general impression at th's eleventh hour is that in splte Of a diversity of opinion in the Demo- cratic ranks on local party politics, the Democrats are better united ahout a new slate of candidates than the Republicans; that the Re nublicans, though eager to take ad- vantage of possible divisions in thl ranks of cmbattled Democracy have more hopes and expectations than they have outstanding candi- dates around which all the grand old party can stage a rally.

 One gentleman of more or less prominence said the other day that there will be a "change of ad- minjstration." That sounded omi, nous until one analysed the state ment. He might have merely mean that there would be change 1T
