Democrats Seem To- Be Chasing Toluard
 Contention Fight
Several Contests That Took Place Last Night Have Again Widened Breach of Old and New Guards = Judge Gorm- ley One of Contentious Waterbury N a in e s Delegates

Several important developments, the propounding of very important questions, resulted from yesterdays and last evenings cau- cuses of the democratic party throughout the state. As for Wa terbury and vicinity the most i'm portant question raised was whether or not the "old guard" plans to force Judge Martin Gorm- ley of Naugatuck fight for nomina- ton once more for, congress. In Stamford the possibility of ex- Mayor Alfred N. Phillips. Jr, "old guard" leader, losing his prestige was feared by his packers because of his defeat there last evening in his quest for control of the state delegation.
 From Hartford came the definite news that Congressman Augustine Lonergan'S name, would certainly be put before the state convention. He was, endorsed for the nomina- [f3On Uf United States senator. Tn the same city Peter J. Connerton was endorsed for nomination of state controller.
 Throughout the state democratic political problems took on a defi- mite aspect as a result of the eau cuses and conventions.
 2 The fear that the "old guard" may oppose Judge Gormley for the congressional nomination grew out of the fact that in Winsted the "old guard" delegates defeated a motion to endorse him for the post. The sentiment expressed was for ex- Mayor William E.. Thoms of this city but he is not candidate.
 Winsted, however. was the only town in the fifth congressional dis trict which witnessed such a bat
