 Bridgeport Not Satisfied
 In Bridgeport a split is very evil dent in the democratic ranks with Mayor Edward T. Buckingham. democrat, seeking reelection in the faco of much dissatisfaction in his party. Town Chairman John A. Cornell of Bridgeport, furthermore. who was one of the chieftians in the campaign to unseat the "old guard" and put the "new guard' in power, is very much dissatisfied towards his former political mate. and has openly showed his hostility National Committeeman Archibald . McNeil. and Governor Cross. in ad- dresses made in which he harshly criticised the present party heads for their handling of appointments and the like.
 As is the case in Waterbury, Bridgeport has been sorely neglect ed in the list of appointments made by the Cross regime and Attorney Cornell, himself, who is pre-elec- ton days was considered a pre- ferred choice for any good position the governor would have to make. has not been honored at all.
 Tone Routed fin New Haven
 In New Haven and Hartford the real test between the "old guard" and the reorganization group now in power, will occur. Ex-Mayor David FitzGerald of New Haven, who is famous for his consistent feeling that he may be down but never out, defeated the forces head ed by Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone and Senator Frank Bergin in the recent democratic primaries. His man. Alderman John w. Mur- the democratic mayoralty nomina- ton. The "new guard" in New Haven failed of sufficient support from the Elm City voters and went down to defeat.
 Therefore, on the first Tuesday of next month Alderman Murphy. backed by huge democratic army. will battle for the mayors office against his 6. O. D. opponent, Law son W. Hall. Having one victory over the thew guard" forces in the Elm City, ex-Mayor FitzGerald is now centering his interests in gain ing a win over the g.o.p. forces. If he succeeds 1t is generally conceded that his trip towards the top of the ladder in state democratic affairs will be off to a good start.

JUSTICE CRATER DISAPPEARANCE
 STILL MYSTERY
Body of Suicide in Woods of Maine Was Not That of the Missing Jurist

Showhegan, Me, Oct 24.-(UP) Detective Van Sweisenstein of the Manhattan missing persons bureau had returned to New York to-day. satisfied that the latest clue in the Crater disappearance mystery was worthless.
 The clue which has now been discarded concerned the discovery Wednesday. deep in the woods near Stark, of the body of a sui- eide that had been hanging from a hemlock more than 6 year. The death scene was only a few miles from the summer estate of Jo- seph Force Crater, long-missing New York supreme court justice.
 Van Sweisenstein, who viewed the body yesterday, said while it's description showed simtlarities with that of Judge Crater certain dis crepancies convinced him the, body was that of someone else.
 The shape of the suicides skull. the detective said. was not that of Crater's. and the hair, though brown streaked with gray as was the judges, was of a coarser tex ture than the hair of the missing 4urist. The fact that the suicides right thumb had been amputafed prior to death clinched his de- eision. the detective said. It was the index finger which was miss Ing from Judge Crater's right ka.nA.

War Rages Along Canal And Meadow;
 Vacant Stores Profit
Open Land Also Benefits as Department Is Determined to Keep Safety Lines Open Despite Rush of Produce Dealers to City's Main Selling Mart

Police enforcement of traffic laws on the strength of strenuous pro- tests over congested parking condi- tions have resulted in two conflict : ing conditions-a protest from rner- a rush for vacant stores and for land which affords space for ma chimes and the disposal of goods.
 Lieutenant James Mulville and Patrolmen Daniel Namack and Jo- seph Clark have enforced very severe order to prevent parking on only one side of Meadow street and Canal streets, with the result sew eral prominent merchants have complained that their business has suffered. In response to their ar guments the police have answered that others, very prominent and in- fluential have protested as to parking conditions and that the situ- ation in event of fire represented serious hazard.
 For nearly a week, during the early hours of the day the police have been vigilant in enforcing the law. "No Parking" signs have been flashed, but as scores of cars att tempt to force their way into linn. tied space, a congestion has resulted. Due to produce cenders thronging Meadow and Canal streets, the thor oughfares have been almost impass- able to other cars. When the com plaints started to roll in Lieutenant Mulville was assigned to the task of discouraging the practice. An en-
