BOY CARD PLAYER |. FINED FOR ASSAULT
Dispute During Game Leads to
 Fist Fight AfterWard

In a card game Sunday, Stanley Kask, 16, of 40 Grove street, and Walter Dawidczycka, IA, of 55 Grove street, ripped the cards held by each other and an argument ensued. Kask, arraigned in police court to- day on the charge of assaulting the younger boy, accused him of calling him a vile name several times and yesterday he was unwill- ing to tolerate it any longer. so he slapped him in the face and drew blood from his nose.
 Dawidczycka, however, claimed the assault was unprovoked and Judge M. D. Saxe made finding of guilty, imposing a fine of s7 without costs on Kask. The latter, in his testimony, ''squealed' on DaHidczycka's witness. telling the court that he had just been re- leased from the reformatory and was making a practice of staying out until and o'clock in the morning. but Prosecuting Attorney Woods shut him off with an order to keep the witness out of the case as he was not on trial. Sergeant T. J. Feeney made the arrest.
 Walter Scrogi, %, of 1O6 Willow street, arrived home from work about 7:30 o'clock last night and a little later went out with a friend and had three bottles of beer. About 12:30 o'clock he and num- Der of others were singing in front of IS Clark street and when Officer Stephen Coffey approached, the crowd dispersed, one young man running into the house where he lives, followed by Scrogi. The of- fcer chased them and Scrogi was insolent in his replies tc questions, according to. the officer, who charged him with drunkenness and breach of the peace.
 Scorgi claimed his name was Joseph Was but the officer knew it was not. Asked about this feature of the case, Scorgi admitted that he had not given his own name be- cause he wanted to hide his arrest from his family. He said he lived on Winter street but the police knew he lived on Willow street. Scrogi pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkenness and was fined s7 and costs. Judgment vas suspended on tho charge of breach of the peace, to which he pleaded l not guilty.

DELEGATES READY
 FOR CROSS CHOICE
Former Yale Dean to Urge Pro.
 hibidon Repeal

New London, Sept. 10 (UP)- Delegates gathered here today for the opening tonight of the demo- cratic state convention, which is ex- pected to nominate a noted educa- tor, Wilbur l.. Cross of Yale, as can- didate for governor and support his "wet" views with a platform advo- eating repeal of the 18th amend ment and the Volstead Act.
 The advance guard of the conven- tion's 1000 delegates was agitatet1 by 1lth hour reports of factionaI differences over secondary places on the state ticket and state party leadership. Fear was felt that the long standing enmity between the so-called organization and reorgan- ization wings of the Connecticut party might break out with suffi- cient virulence to upset the pre- convention harmony which enabled leaders to agree upon Cross to heal the ticket long before the nominat- ing convocation.
 Compromise Rumored
 Rumors were current here that representatives of both factions met at New Haven last night and agreed upon a compromise slate. This slate, according to the unconfirmed re- ports, was as follows.
 Governor-Wilbur L. Cross, New Haven.
 Lieutenant Governor - Daniel Leary, Waterbury.
 Secretary of state-Alton T. Mi ner, New London.
 ptroller-Anthony Sunderland Danbury.
 Treasurer-Fred P. Holt, Hart ford.
 y-General-David A. Will son. Hartford.
 Previously it had been understood that Wilson was assured of second place on the ticket. Many delegates were of the opinion the so-called compromise slate would face diff. culties on the floor of the conven. tion tomorrow.
 Expect Fireworks
 Even the most optimistic advo. cate of party harmony believed to. day that tonight's scheduled meel. ing of the state central committet to chose a state chairman and sec. retary held strong possibilities o1 fireworks. James J. Walsh, Meriden and A. $. Lynch, West Haven, pres. ent chairman and secretary. face heavy opposition from the "Youn9 Turk wing of the party.
 The task of deciding upon a ne,, state chairman has been complicat ed further by the reluctance O. Dean Cross to express a preference
 The first official convention activ. ity occurs at p. m. when the plaf form committee meets at Hote Griswold, where the convention vii be held. to finish the rough draft Q the platform. The gathering will b, called to order by Chairman Wals1 at s p. m. and Homer S.

and 10 members of Parliament, Count
Stephen Bettaen, premier OF Hungary.
