who expect complete pre-conven- tion accord, observers see the pos- sibility of wrangling over the sena- torial and congresman-at-lar places. The new guard is be- lieved sure to point out that the candidate should be in harmony with the presidential candidate, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the new guard" choice. On the other hand, the "old guard" definitely controls the state and is expected to demand recognition of it's strength unless it's temper has changed since the Chicago conven- ton.
 An unusual situation arose at the meeting at Hartford yesterday and as result, two democratic state headquarters will operate at least until the state convention. One will be at the office of State Chairman David Wilson at Hart ford and the other at the office of State Secretary Francis J Smith in Waterbury.
 Chairman Wilson held that the headquarters should be in Hart. ford, but Secretary Smith pointed out there would be untold confus- ion and extra work for him if such a plan went through. He pointed out that a considerable amount Oi work in preparation for the East ern Point convention has already been completed through the Wa terbury office and that exchanges of mail would be going to Water. bury when 1t should be received at Hartford. He said the station cry bears Democratic State Head. quarters" and the address is East Main street, Waterbury. It is ex- pected that the matter will be strengthened out at the state con- vention so that the headquarters might be removed to Hartford.
 Members of the arrangements committee to name dates for the caucuses and primaries will be ap. pointed by Chairman Wilson, Wa. terbury's members of the state central committee, MT Crary. Mrs Gertrude G. Corden, Senator Joseph H. Lawlor and Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, were in attendance at the meeting.
 Alton T. Miner extended the in. vitation to come to Eastern Point for the convention. In behalf ol the town committees of New Lon. don and Groton, and promised lower hotel rates than in 1880. MI Crary moved the acceptance of the invitation but before the vote could be taken an objection wal raised.
 Thomas J. Moroney of Meriden voiced the objection on the grounds that the expense is greater by go- ing to New London. Others joined Mir Moroney in saying the proposed site was too far and the expense great. However, the vote was passed in favor of Eastern Point
 Former Mayor David E. Eitz- gerald of New Haven had mo- tion adopted calling for the ap- pointment of an arrangements chairman.
 Secretary Smith had the uindi- vided attention of the gathering while he explained some of the methods put into use in Waterbury in raising three fourths of it's quota toward the Victory Campaign fund. It is expected that other cities will adopt similar plans.
 Former Mayor Fitzgerald also urged the removal from office oi those town chairmen or town com mittee members who are not ac- tive, proposing that the general rule of disloyalty be invoked, II other machinery were lacking.
