such was not the case. The Ely boys

not connect with the loop. The game
was one of the fastest seen here in

fouls called were the result of speed and
not of meanness. Gilbert led to 0

The most startling feature de-
picted in this picture, sponsored by
Congo Pictures, Ltd, is the discov-
cry of what may easily be crea-
lures that are half human, half
ape. Apparently also there is a
tribe OF natives, lowest of all in
the scale of humanity, scarcely as
intelligent as the apes, who. each
year after an elaborate and hide
ously weird ceremony. give one OF
the women to the gorillas. That
these women are taken as COM
paniops by the great apes is
claimed, and some OF the pictorial
evidence in "Ingagi," which means
gorilla" seems to bear out this
belief. The co-feature Is Lovers

next month at which delegates to

Local democratic leaders were
elated to-day over the Smith VIC
tory last night in Bridgeport. At
the caucuses the Smith leaders
swamped the Roosevelt hackers, fur
Their upsetting the claims of the lat
ter's chieftains. Bridgeport is the
home town of National Committee
nina Archibald Mcneil, militant
Roosevelt leader.
However, while the Bridgeport
delegation will be for Smith at the
state convention, it will back Nc
Neil for reelection to the nation
al committee.
This creates a further split-up
of state delegates. 1t is now certain,
as stated yesterday, that the main
fight in the state convention will
not be between the Smith Roose-
welt forces but between ex-Mayor
Fitzgerald and Mr. Mcneil on the
question of the national committee
post.
Indications to-day were that the
majority of the Connecticut dele
gates to the national convention
will be for Smiths nomination for
the president. This state will have
16 votes in the national convention.
Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy of
Hartford has already informed ex-
Governor Smith that he can count
on Connecticut's delegation. How
ever, Roosevelt leaders in the state
claim 500 of the 900 delegates to
the state convention.
Tonight the bitter campaign be-
tween the Smith and Roosevelt
leaders will reach its climax when
caucuses and primaries are brought
to a close. Waterbury is Set for
Smith. Just how the other cities,

will work out remains to be seen.

"The Mouthpiece," are said to have
given the picture q pace and In.
