 Gazdik is a patient at the Water bury hospital. The injured man was employed by the Tuttle-Whit- temore fund and was engaged in work being done on Riverside drive preliminary to installation of sidewalks near Grove cemetery. The accident happened when the shower came up yesterday after noon. Gadzik according to the story gathered, attempted to run across the street for shelter from the rain Evidently he did not see the car approaching and the driver was unable to stop due to the fact that he was too close to the injured man. In making efforts to avoid striking Dadzik the driver of the car turned sharply and the car skidded on the wet pavement and turned over.
 Gadzik was hurried to the office of Dr Harold Johnson who upon examination found that the man was seriously injured. He ordered his removal to the hospital. The car operated by Santarsiere was the property of his brother Charles of 527 Anderson avenue, Grant wood, N. J., who is visiting here In the car with the driver at the time was Patsy Labriola. Both es- capped injuries.
 Santarsiere was brought to the local police station and held until Coroner John Mon2ani came to the borough and conducted q prelm- mary examination. Later he was released on his own recognizance

 Looks Like Deadlock
 It appears as though the board of warden and burgesses will bt deadlocked at their special meet ing tomorrow afternoon wher attempts are made to name a sue cessor to Supt of Streets D. J German. Burgess William Nobl' who favors the naming of Alber Rathburn, foreman of the stree department to succeed Supt Cor man will leave on his vacation to- day. If the vote remains the sam' as 1t was predicted it would be al Tuesday nights session If the board took action, it will mear that MT Rathburn will have three votes and James Brophy three Burgess John Burke, democrat ant Burgesses Tracy Noble, Willian Noble and Henry Zwick, repuhli' cans were said to be ready to vott for MT Rathburn on Tuesday niE n with Warden Green and BurgessA' Anenberg and Sheridan supportins MT Brophy.
 This would have given Rathburr the position with board majority of one. If Mir Noble goes on vaca' ton and the votes of the other board members remain unchanged it will mean a deadlock. The meet ing is scheduled to be held to- morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock
