William J. Pape Held Con- ference With Town Chairman Conway This Morning and Nothing Definite Seems to Have Come Out of lt-No Definite Nominee Was Decided
PUBLISHER MAY BE
 STILL IN RUNNING

Republican Town Chairman T. E. Conway and William J. Pape, local publisher. were reported to have held 8 conference at MT Con- ways office this morning when dis cuasion of the possible candidate for the republican nomination for mayor was said to have been the chief subject of the meeting. Ac- cording to reports MT Pape was said to have been non-committal on his views as to a candidate and declined to make any assertions to his choice,
 This would indicate that MI Pape is, still in the running for the nomination for himself inas. much as it is reliably reported that the republican party Is con. sidoring three candidates none ol whom is the publisher.
 Whether MT Pape will attempt to secure the nomination by work. ing on the delegates from the var. ious wards remains question. II is understood that if he himself is unsuccessful he will throw his strength to a candidate who hal not vet ben mentioned. Chairman Conway left town for the week. end but the conferences slated tt bring the issue to q head are ey' pecked to be called early nex week.

FLYING co HAS LOST ITS SUIT
 OVER LIABILITY
The Limit Printed on the
 Tickets of Passengers
 rOverruled $4O,OOO
 Award Upheld By Court

Philadelphia, Aug. 26-(UP)- The liability limit printed on the face of airplane passenger tickets was. overruled in the federal court here, when Judge Joseph Bluffing- ton upheld s4o.ooO award to''Mrs Kathleen I. Close, Norristown for the death of her husband, c. ,Wil-, liam Close, in a plane crash near Tampa, Fla. three years ago.
 The awad was made against the Curtiss- Wright Flying Service, Incl, who contended that, as printed on the face of it's tickets, liability. Tn any event. should not exceed $10,O00 limit. a''.s
 Judge Burlington, however. ruled that passenger airplanes were common carriers" having the same status as railroads and steamship lines, which have been prohibited by law to set a maxi mum liability. si>
 The aviation company contended that Close had chartered" the plane and was in charge of oper- ating 1t and that the pilot was not negligent, but Judge Burlington also dismissed these contentious.
 Close and the pilot were killed in February, 1930, when a plane; bound from Miami to-, Tampa, crashed in landing during a fog.

Another Attempt Being Made By United States to Get Him Away From Greece

Athens. Aug. 26-(UP)-Samuel Insull, refugee head of the once great Insull Utilities organizations, was arrested today at the request of the United States government.
 Insult came to Europe more than a year ago. with his vast enter prises in difficulties. He was re- ported first in Paris, then he went to England. Finally he took re- fuge here, where at the time there was no effective Pnited States Greece extradition treaty.
 Insults passport was declared void by the state department in January. He applied for Greek citizenship. Refusing to return to the United States, he was given permission to remain here until 1884. t
 Insult on his arrest today was charged with @ violation of the federal bankruptcy laws.

SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICES BY THE
 REPUBLICANS
There Are Very Many
 Aspirants After Other City Offices Besides the
 Mayoralty E.

The, scramble for nomination to the respective offices on the repub-
 lican ticket has developed into larger proportions this year be-
 cause of the fact that there will
 not be as many offices to be filled.
 There will be no candidate for the
 office of tax collector inasmuch as
 the present incumbent, William A.
 Ennis has two more years to serve
 before he comes up for reelection. This is the first election year that such situation has arisen.
 because the state legislature in
 1881 passed the bill under the spe- cial acts of the 1881 session as an amendment to the charter of the City of Waterbury, making the term of office of the tax collector
 at Waterbury four years instead of two.
 With the tax collectors office not to be nominated the fight for nomination of the other offices has
 become more pronounced in re-
 publican ranks. g. There are two outstanding can-
 didates for the nomination of town
 clerk. One. of them is George V.
 Casey, former assistant city clerk, and the other is Arthur Hebert, Connecticut Co. 9employe. MT He bert ran on the republican ticket
 for city sheriff but was defeated by a close vote. MT Casey is prom
 inently- known on Washington Hill where he has interested himself in athletics and church affairs.
 Edward B. O'Donnell, former city clerk, is seeking the nomina- tion for controller but is expected
 to have competition for the posi-
 ton. The city cleEk,s place is un-
 derstood to be sought by Thomas Behan. The nominations of the various offices will be made at the city and town conventions of the republican party to be held a week from next Tuesday.
