 M'CARL WRONG
 SAID SENATOR

New York, Sept 8 - GU. P.} Comptroller General J. k. McCarl apparently misinterpreted section 320 of the economy act when ne ruled that all appropriations Tor construction provided by the Gar. ner1Wagner relief bill must be cut ten per cent, Senator Robert r. Wagner said to-day.
 ."The section, Wagner salo' "provides Authorizations hereto fore granted by law for construc = fore granted by law for construc- ton of public buildings. are hereby amended to provide Tor reduction of ten per cent or the limit of cost as fixed in such au- thorization, as to projects where no contract for the constructioi' has been made.
 "The meaning of that is that the maximum cost of an indlViouai building or improvement as here- tofore fixed by law must be reauc- ed ten per cent. It obviously does not reduce the total of the appro,, priation carried in teh relief anu construction act"

OLD GUARD IS
 MUCH ENCOURAGED
By GEORGE R. MORRIS, JR

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Eastern Point. Conn. Sept g. (UP) - Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, representative to con- gress from the first district, was chosen by the democratic state convention to-day to be its candi- date for United States senator. op- posing Senator Hiram Bingham, republican. Lonergan defeated Professor Harry Morgan Ayres of Westport by a vote of 4S1 to SIP. Upon motion of Ayres. the convcn- ton made the election unanimous.
 Especial to The DcInocraD
 Convention Hall. Eastern Point, New London. Conn = Waterbury delegates were confident that Con- troller Daniel J. Leary of that city would be- nominated for lieuten- ant-governor late this afternoon when balloting on the first place. U. s. Senator, showed the old guard faction running ahead of Governor Cross and the new guard. Augustine Lonergan of Hartford was leading Professor Harry Mor- gan Ayres of Westport by a com fortable majority when four of the five congressional districts had been boiled The totals were Lon ergan 4S1, Ayres 316.
 Waterbury cast its 36 votes. when called ahead of time, for Rep. Lonergan as did all the other large cities of the state except Bridgeport which was solidly be- hind the Ayres candidacy.
 Old guard leaders were particu- larly jubilant when it appeared as if they had defeated the first can didate whom Governor Cross in sisted he wanted on his ticket. Prof Ayres headed the ticket that Governor Cross proposed to old and new guard leaders early to- day. Other surprise candidates on 1t included State Senator Michael Connor of Hartford, member of the governors staff for lieutenant- governor, A. J. Bitgood of Plain- field for state treasurer and Rep J. Clifford Meaney of Bridgeport for controller.
 If Rep Lonergan wins the sen atorial nomination it was believed that sure defeat loomed for other Cross candidates proposed to-day unless the governor and the new guard switched their allegiance to compromise candidates in last minute effort to keep Controller Leary off the state ticket.

 What the group of Bern's intt- mate friends discussed at the bed side of the alluring platinum blond screen star widow was not dis closed. But plans for the inquest went ahead despite efforts ot powerful interests to prevent 1t.
 The inquest was summoned de- spite physicians reports that the silvery haired beauty was in no physical condition to testify; de- spite the fact that all concerned agreed that Bern killed himself, and

ALL NIGHT FIGHT THAT RESULTED
 IN NO PEACE
Both Sides Stuck Fast to Their COlOrs and When Morning Came They Were Still at It
By WILLIAM J. MORIARTY


 Convention Hall, Eastern Point, New London, Conn - Controller Daniel J. Leary of Waterbury pre- pared to stage a bitter fight for the lieutenant-governo nomina- tion as the democratic state con- vention proceeded to the task of naming its state and national ticket this afternoon. Although the Waterbury official was not in- cluded on the tentative ticket pro- CTS this morning by Governor Will bur l.. Cross he was ready to take the floor this afternoon in his own behalf.
 At press time and while the their choice candidate for United States Senator Leary, together with Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford, former national com mitteeman, and ex-Mayor David D. iFitzGerald of New Haven. were active on the convention floor seek ing to line up sufficient delegates to block the governors slate.
 The ticket as proposed by Gov ernor Cross to-day was composed of Representative William M. Cit ron of Middletown for congress- man-at-large; Professor Harry Morgan Ayres of Westport for U. S. senator; Wilbur l.. Cross for governor; State Senator Michael Connor of Hartford for lieutenant governor; Rep J. Clifford Meaney of Bridgeport for comptroller, Alton T. Minor of New London for state secretary; A. J. Bitgood of Plain field for treasurer.
 Connor, Bitgood and Meaney were all three surprise candidates and it took some time for old guard leaders to figure out what this move on the part of Gov ernor Cross and the new guard leaders portended. However, there was no diminution in the efforts of the old guard to place MT Leary in second place on the ticket.
