ALBERT LEVITT HAS LOST FIGHT
 ON UTILITIES

Hartford, Conn, July 14.-UP) -One of the longest and most un- usual litigations ever contested in Connecticut courts had been brought to a close to-day with the decision of Superior Court Judge Alfred c. Baldwin for the public utilities commissioners in the at torney-generaTs custer suit.
 The action, seeking removal of the public utilities commissioners for alleged failure to enforce q grade crossing removal statute, was instigated by Professor AL bert Levitt, insurgent republican of Bedding in October, 1929. Levitt presented petition signed by 100 electors to the attorney-general and that official discovered to his surprise that he was compelled to prosecute the commissioners under an obscure statute which Levitt had unearthed.
 The attorney-general--then Ben jamin w. Alling-claimed discre- tion in taking action on the peti- ton and fought the case to the state supreme court of errors, which upheld Levitt. The case went to the superior court at least q half-doZen times on various points and to the supreme court of errors twice. Levitt was upheld on every important point and finally-after filling has resigned and Warren B. Burroughs had be- come attorney general-the custer proceedings got under way in June.
 One of the defendant commis- sioners, c. C. Edwell of New Ha- ven, died before the case came to trial, leaving Richard T. Hig- gins and Joseph W. Alsop as de- fendants. Levitt. who had been the opponent of the attorney gen eral through months of litigation, acted as amicus curiae and assist ed in the prosecution.
 Judge Baldwin's decision praised the commissioners.
 These commissioners, lie said "employing wisdom, judgment foresight and industry of high character in the discharge of their duties in their office in connection with the railroad and the elimina- ton of grade crossing. coopcrated as they should with the able and ehicien: management of the rail- road in saving that institution, thc most important to the welfare of the state.
 "They found the financial con- dition of the company during tho period covered in the complaint did not warrant orders for the re- moval of crossings other than those removed. There was no neglect upon the part of the com mssioners, material or otherwise"

imously by the gathering. Then a committee consisting of Adrian Wolff. Albert Hummel and MT Kingston was named to prepare a resolution of thanks to Mir Deacon for his work while chairman.
 Last nights election makes the third chairman the republicans have had in seven or eight months. First Congressman E. W. Goss was chairman. He resigned when he was elected to congress, and MT Deacon took his place. Az ter a few weeks as chairman MT Deacon decided that his business took too much of his time and left him little opportunity to care for his political duties. He ten- dered his resignation and 1t was accepted last night with Attorney Conway taking his place.
 The coming election will be in- teresting in view of the fact that Attorney Conway two years ago opposed Mayor Frank Hayes for the mayoralty. The democrats won. Now Attorney Conway will direct the fight against Mayor Hayes, but will not run, himself. It is generally believed that tGtOTHe I lIdtY VIII pS thc 5'D'F nominee. However. there is tho possibility of q primary battle in the g.o.p ranks now, too, as Town Committeeman Karpleman an- nounccd last night that he will seek the nomination if MT Tracy decides to enter the race.
 Following his selection as chair man last night. Attorney Conway declared that there are no strings attached to him and added that he is going into the fight without any expectation of political or other favor. He declared that he will be his own boss and will strive to put the party back on as high plane as 1t was in the old days when Judge Arthur F. Els. Attor- nov IT. G. Church and Herbert Phillips were the chairmen.
