The glowing tributes paid by dis tinguished church and civic leaders to the accomplishments of the Knights of Columbus and to the memory of the late Rt Rev Mich ael McGivney, founder of the order on the occasion of the observance of "McGivney Day" here Saturday has furnished the inspiration and hope that Waterbury will be select ed in the near. future as the scene of national demonstration.

Election m Maine
 To-day Is Closely
 Watched By Nation

Portland, Me, Sept 12-(UP)-- Maine voters went to the polls to- day in tho first state election of this presidential year--an election traditionally regarded as ma tionhf barometer.
 In the relative strength of the democratic vote in this normally republican and pioneer dry state, some profess to see an indication as to what will happen at the polls In November. Statistics show, in- cidentally, that Maine, as the Ina tional barometer" has been inac- curate about as often as accurate.
 Interest was divided to-day be- tween the gubernatorial race, with the states financial policy as the dominant issue, and three congress sional contests, each offering voters q chance to express their dry or wet sentiments.
 The republican candidate for governor was Burleigh Martin, state senate president. His demo- cratic opponent, former Mayor Louis J. Brann of Lewiston, has assailed increases in the cost of state government pointing out that whereas there was an outlay Of only $5,00O,00O a year during the last democratic administration-in 1916--the cost now totals about 100000. Also he has charged that republican highway construc- ton projects, poorly planned, have resulted in the isolation of small communities. The winner of the Martin Brann contest will succeed the republican incumbent. Gover- nor William Tudor Gardiner, who

Boston, Sept 12-(UP)-A faulty anchor light, which attracted the attention of customs officers. today had led to perhaps the biggest liquor seizure in New England's history-the confiscation of the magnificent. $100,000 yacht Pru- dence, of New York, and her cargo of choice imported whiskeys valued at $125,00O to $200,000.

INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS
 DANGEROUS
Will the Nominees of That Party Cut Into the Reg-
 ular C. o. P. Ranks? There Is Some Worry
 Among the Republicans Who Are Seeking Office
DANGER IN SIGHT
 FOR THE REGULARS

Who will be the independent re- publican nominees for state sena- torships and representatives in the coming election? Will the nomina- ton of candidates for office weaken the campaigns of the regular g. O.. D. candidates? How will the vote If diverted to certain extent to- wards the independent ticket ef- feet Congressman E. W. Goss and other regular candidates in Water- bury? These were the questions flying high and wide in Waterbury this morning. This worry was caused by the fact that the inde- pendent republican ticket qualified late last week for place on the voting machines.
 But the main source of the wor- ry is even greater. The independ- ent party is ready to nominate candidates for national, state and local posts in opposition to the regular. s. o. D. ticket. This would mean. that Professor Albert Levitt of Columbia would run for U. s. senator or would relinquish his

KINGSTON ALLOWED
 TO DELAY
States Attorney AlcOrn Fought Giving Any More Time to File Appeal Judge McEvoy Gave Ex- tension to Oct 2l

An extension to oct. Fist. to file an appeal in the Kingston case was granted by Judge Frank F.. McEvoy at Q hearing in superior court today. States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford appeared in court to oppose the extension of time for filing the appeal which expired today.
 The motion for the extension of time was presented and argued by Attorney Thomas Fitzsimmons of New Haven, who succeeded the late Judge Martin as counsel for Frederick Kingston who was sen- fenced from three to five years on embezzlementi charges in the Hart ford superior court year ago.
 Judge Martin started the appeal but his death occurred before It's completion. Attorney FitZsimmons pointed out that the filing of an ap- peal takes considerable time in view of per1sing the nine volumes of evidence in the case. He said he has gone over a181 paragraphs of the finding of Judge McEvoy and worked extremely hard. some times as late as two or three o'clock in the morning. He asked a three months continuance.
 MT. Alcorn said he had been very reasonable with the counsel for the accused but thought 1t tim. that MT Fitzsimmons called a halt to his shadow boxing" MT Alcprn argued that MT FitZsim- mons has had ample opportunity to take an appeal and that he should have had 1t completed by now.
 He pointed out that the case cost the state $40,000 to prosecute. Ike cited a decision of the supreme court dealing with cases in which delays were purposely made and referred to them as being "obstin- ate litigants."
 Judge McEvoy denied the mo- tion asking for reargument in the motion to have the state pay the cost of the printing ofrseyldence.
