Former Burgess Maurice Anen- berg who is candidate for the nominatoin for state senator from the 14th senatorial district, this morning branded as false reports that have come to his attention to the effect that he has withdrawn as q candidate for state senator in favor of Attorney Henry J. Free man of this borough who has also been mentioned as a candidate.
 MT Anenberg stated that he did not know where the report origin ated from and that he had made no such statement to anyone.
 He stated he was in the race to a finish and if there was op- position he would take his chances on the convention floor. Mir Anen- berg has been conducting a canvas of all towns in the district for many weeks and states that he has been assured of the support of. major 1ty of the delegates to the con- vention. He will have the united backing of the eight delegates from Naugatuck.
 Attorney Freeman has not open ly announced his candidacy but those who are backing him for the post SIdI6 JHaL lICy nave uocuA ances that he will make the run if it is the party's wish, but he does not care to enter contest for the nomination.
 West Haven also has a candidate for the nomination. c. Edward Sla- win. MT Slavin has canvassed the district for the past several weeks and it is reported that he has lined up considerable strength.
 No date for the convention has been set but 1t is expected that the time and place will be announced the coming week. Naugatuck is likely to have the honor of enter taining the delegates it is reported.
 Two years ago when MT Anen- berg was nominated for the post the convention was held in the borough. It is unusual to have so many candidates for the office in the district as 1t is one that is con- sidered strongly republican. From reports Senator John Lynch of West Haven will again be the re- publican candidate for the office. He defeated MT Anenberg in 1880, but, the local man cut down to a great degree the ordinarily big re- publican majority of the district.

 Kind of Luck

Chicago, Sept 12-(U. P.)-Life is beginning to seem like just one robbery after another to Gus Cha pin. 67, retired skipper of a Lake Michigan vessel.

 The men took him to an alley. There they took away his watch, glasses, knife-even his chewing tobacco. When he protested he had already ben robbed once, he was slugged.
