 take the nomination once more
 for the lieutenant-goyernershir
 and leave his gubernatorial as. pirations wait two years more. At o'clock this morning there were three places on the g. o. p. state ticket vet open. They were those of Hetltenant-goyernor, con- ! troIler and attorney-general. 1t was reported that If Wilcox re- fused the nomination once more for lieutenant governor his place | might be taken by Theodore Bod enwein of New London or ex- Senator Albert L4avery of Fairfield. Other names were also mentioned for the post of lieutenant-governor | in the event of Wiicox's withdrew | al but the general belief was that he would consent to run once more for the post he now occupies. Dumping Talk Prevailed At first it was reported that State Treasurer Hope of Bridgeport would be "dumped". The drive | was on to cut Fairfield county's Representation down. Later it was apparent, at least at 3 o'clock this morning. that Controller Anson T. Keeler. also of Fairfield county, was the man who would be "shot att.
 The third vacancy discussed was that of attorney-general. A drive was on to unseat Attorney General | Warren Burrows of Groton. Later to his support. 1t was suggested tfhof fnrv,,o Corrafo a of Cf n n Francis Pallotti be given his post. An apparent intent among many of the leaders was to give the Italian voters some recognition on the g. o. p. state ticket in view of the fact that the democratic ticket contains the name of Dr .. John Satti. However. the Pal Ilotti boom was somewhat dead dur ing the early hours of this morn- ing in view of the fact that should Attorney Aicorn be nominated for governor the city of Hartford could not look for a second posi- tion on the state ticket.
 Attorney Palomba Mentioned l Because of the argument ad- vanced against the placing ot Judge Pallotti on the state ticket the boom behind Attorney Palom-
 ba of Waterbury for one of the major nominations was gaining
 much headway early this morning
 Most of the Waterbury g. o. p,
 leaders retired at o'clock or shortly afterwards for brief rest. They were on the floor of the Bond
 lobby. shortly after 8 o'clock this
 morning.
 Judge John F. McGrath and
 William J. Pape of Waterbury
 were among those attending party conferences on the makeup of the
 ticket. They refused to commit themselves on the reported makeup
 of the ticket but were apparently
 in favor of having Waterbury
 man on the ticket so as to aid the
 republican cause in the Brass City
 and vicinity.
 I At 9:30 o'clock this morning the -l fight on the seating of ex-MayoI
 William H. Sandland and Mrs Lurs B. Dutton on the state central com
 mittee collapsed formally. AL though it was understood that their
 reelection to the state central com mitee would not be contested, from
 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, on the new central committee, meet ing early this morning voted to Iseat the two veteran members from the 18th district in the absence oi any contest. The ruling of the town convention of two weeks agn ltesting their right to reelection to the committee was not even brought up at the meeting this morning.
 This is an imporant victory for Ithe old reorganization" group. With
 Sandland and Mrs Dutton on the state central committee once more the old "organizatpfn' has won
 one point although all the local conventions are controlled by l delegates pledged to the "reorEan'
