nomination first, 1t is felt, he will have the start on any who may wish to oppose him.
 From time. to time the name of former Superintendent Kennedy has been mentioned. However, MT Ken nedy has refused to give any state- ment out and his movements in the interest of a primary battle have remained mystery.
 Therefore, to-day, he was termed the mystery man among the demo- cratic leaders in Waterbury and the fact that Mayor Hayes will an- nounce his candidacy tonight was believed a master stroke on the part of the present incumbent.
 That Mayor Hayes announce ment tonight will serve to solidify the democratic party and start the fall campaign off on the road to victory over the republicans. was the general opinion this afternoon.
 Mayor Hayes campaign this year will be based on the issue that he has kept his promise with the tax payers of Waterbury and has done his best to cut down the public debt in the attempt to relieve the burden of taxation.
 When talked with early this aft ernoon, Mayor Hayes stated that he had no intention of seeking renom- ination. Nevertheless, the demo- cratic town committee, at it's gath ering this evening, is expected to decree to the mayor that he is the proper candidate at this time.

ACTIVITIES IN
 WASHINGTON PARK
The Place Fast Becoming One of Most Popular
 Resorts in City
SOME LIVELY CONTESTS

Baseball teams composed of married and single men battled for supremacy on the athletic grounds in Washing ton park last night. According to the most authentic reports, the single men won, but the other fellows deny this and claim that there is not a team in the district made of single men capable of giving the married men battle.
 However this may be, these games are attracting good deal of atten- tion, between the ball games, tennis and the pool there is much activity in the park. When the playground opens and workmen commence oper- ations on the proposed new com munity house there will be something doing there all the time.
 Folks are wondering if 1t would not be possible to get few dozen seats placed here and there under the shade of trees for the benefit of the large number of mothers who will visit there during the summer with their children. This is matter which should be brought to the at tention of Superintendent Harrison. Seats are needed in the park, but they are not likely to be supplied un- less people petition for them.

Captain George Endreas and AL | eXander Magyar, Hungarian aviat- ors, were preparing at Roosevelt | field for a dash that, they hope, will end in Budapest.
 Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and Mrs Lindbergh were making careful ] preparations for their proposed trip by air to Japan, but no date has been set for the takeoff.
 In a telegram to his New York rs representatives to-day, Clarence Chamberlin, personal representative | of Miss Nichols, advised them that the young woman was lin good splr- its." and not seriously injured. Her plane, however, Is a complete wreck and it will be necessary to proceeds with her plans. Chamber lin blamed a small landing field, with two hills at each end, and a sun directly in Miss Nichols eyes. for the accident which brought her preparations to a temporary halt. Roosevelt Field, N.

 The flyers expected to land at Harbor Grace about II a. m. and take off for Berlin, Germany, four hours later if weather conditions prove favorable. They will spend the intervening hours refueling their T la nI checking the instruments and mak- ing final adjustments to the motor. They estimate it will take approxi- mately 30 hours to fly to Berlin.
 Post and Gatty are both expert pilots and will relieve one another at the controls. If they succeed in re aching Berlin without mishap, the pair will take on more fuel and take off almost immediately for a nonstop flight to Moscow on the second leg of their 25.0oO-mile flight.
 From there they plan to make stops at Irkutsk, Yatkusk, Nome, Alaska, Edmonton, Canada. and then to New York. They propose to make the trip as speedily as possible. completing the entire flight in ten days or less. The present record of 20 days. four hours, is held by the Graf Zeppelin, lighter-than-air craft. from Friedrichshafen to Friedrichshafen.
 The record for heavier-than-a craft Is held by John II. Mears and Captain C. E. c. Collyer, who cir- cied the globe in 2S days, 15 hours, 2l minutes, three seconds. in 1929.

KLEIN MAY NOT ACCEPT CHAIRMANSHIP
Legal Practice May Prevent Him Coming To Aid Of Party
Bridgeport Rooms Local Lawyer William A. Meaney
 of Greenwich Also Suggested for Post-Mrs Welch ' Now Acting Head of Party

Attorney Clayton l.. Klein of this city and Naugatuck was being boom- ed throughout the state to-day for the post of chairman of the Connecti- cut democratic state central com mittee. During the past week and a half a campaign in his behalf has been going on quietly but to-day it was disclosed that statewide effort is being made to have him chosen to head the central committee as the successor of Superior Court Judge P. B. O'Sullivan, resigned.
 When interviewed, Attorney Klein said that he had heard his name mentioned. However, he was reluct- ant to cast his hat into the ring, for. mally. He explained that his legal work Is of such great size and inn portance that he fears that his cleo. tion as state chairman at this time might interfere greatly with his pri. vate business.
 Nevertheless. in Bridgeport his name has gone from person to per- son and it is understood that he will accept the election providing it is offered to him without a contest just that he may solidify the state organ ization in preparation for the next campaign.
 At the present time Mrs. Fannie Dixon Welch of Columbia, vice-chair- man of the state central commit tee, is the acting chairman. It is desired, though, that a chairman be picked soon so that the wonderful organization perfected for the last campaign may be kept intact and in action in preparation for next years state and national election.
 William A. Meaney of Greenwich, who is expected to succeed Judge John Walsh of that town as town chairman, is also being mentioned throughout the state, especially in lower Fairfield county where he is a resident.

INDIGESTION
 STOPPED
Relief in 5 Minutes

Practically all forms of indiges- tion from mildest stomach discom- fort to chronic dyspepsia are caused by excess stomach acid which sets up premature food fermentation, generates gas and attacks the deli. cate stomach lining. These distress ing conditions are best and most quickly and safely relieved by talk ing just a little "Bisurated" Mag nesia after meals or whenever pain or discomfort Is felt. This instantly neutralizes excess acid and stops fermentation. Food is made sweet and digestible, the sore infiamed stomach lining is soothed and strengthened. and normal digestion proceeds without hindrance or pain. Apothecaries Hall Co and reliable druggists everywhere supply gen. uine "Bisurated" Magnesia, either in powder or handy tablet form. Taken as directed, it will bring almost in- stant relief from acid caused stom- ech troubles.

VETERAN ADMITS
Park Police Obtain Statement
After Francis Cole Fails
to Appear as Witness.

Failure of Francis Cole, disabled war
veteran, to appear as a complaining
witness in the district attorneys Office
yesterday following his assertion that
he had been held up and robbed by
three men south of the White House
Sunday evening, led to discovery by
United States Park Police that his story
was false.
officers said today that they have
obtained signed statement from Cole
that the hold-up was merely imaginary.
However, Roy S. Byrd, Roanoke, Va,
and Horace G. Walker of the 900 block
of Ninth street held as suspects in the
case, and partially identified by Cole as
members of the robber trio, did not
dismiss the incident so lightly. Police
released them promptly after Cole con-
ceded his story was untrue.
Cole told police three men took $3.50
in cash and his Veterans Bureau check
for S2895, but inquiry by officer Oren
Spears of the park police, disclosed
that no check in that sum had been
issued to Cole. Police then broke down
Coles story. and secured his signed
statement that the hold-up was a
"frame-up."
