for entertaining their several thousands of guests from all parts of the state. The business sessions of the convention will begin Fri day morning at Elks hall. Mayor Hayes will express his welcome as the conventions first meeting is officially opened.
 The broadcast is not expected to cause any material reduction in the number of those who will line the streets to watch the parade. Its greatest benefit will be to those in outlying towns and to those in Waterbury who will be prevented by ill health or other reasons from watching the parade.
 c. of c. Asks CoOperat ton
 In connection with the state con- vention of firemen here Friday and Saturday, the Chamber of Commerce has issued to the public the following statement, over the signature of Secretary Frank Green:
 On August 17th and 18th, the firemen of the Waterbury Fire De- partment will be host to the Con- necticut State Firemens Associa- tion, the event being the Fifty first Anniversary.

 Practically every community in the State, and some from out of the State, will be among the guests.
 The program for this Fifty-first Anniversary was developed by Wa terbury firemen, and not one penny was paid to anyone from out of the City. The program was printed by Waterbury printer. This office had just 100 per cent cooperation in every particular, from Chief Heitman and his associates.
 Will you be kind enough to dis play the American flag and any other decoration that you may sec fit to use. It would be nice if such exhibition of colors be carried early in the week and through Fri day and Saturday.

Monagan Enters
 High Sheriff Race
Former Resident Now Living in E1amden Out for the
 Nomination Active in Democratic Circles

William Monagan of Hamden, former Waterburian and a brother of Attorney Walter Monagan of this city, has entered the field for the democratic nomination of high sheriff, according to information received in Waterbury today. This places him as an opponent of James E. O'Leary of this city, who has announced his candidacy some time ago.
 The entrance of MT. ,Monagan into the race for high sheriff caused considerable comment here and throughout New Haven county today. .Waterbury's democratic leaders will be somewhat embar- rassed due to the fact that the or ganization here has already gone on record as being behind MT. O'Leary for the nomination.
 MT. Monagan is we'll known here and is a member of a family long prominent in democratic affairs in Waterbury. He, himself, is a ire quent visitor in the city. It is un- derstood that he has a strong fol- lowing for the nomination of high sheriff in the county.
 Besides MT. O'Leary and MT. Monagan, there is also candi- date from Milford, John Slavin, and another from New Haven, MT. Bishop. MT. Slavin ran for sena- tor in the 14th senatorial district two years ago but was defeated by his republican opponent, Sen ator John Lynch of West Haven.
 Judge Martin Gormley of Nau- gatuck, which is part of the 14th senatorial district, has already come out in support of MT. O'Leary of this city for the high sheriff nomination. Therefore, the county convention of the democratic party promises to feature a three or four corncred battle.

EMPRESS'ZITAIS
 SEEKING THRONE
Still Battles to Place Her Son as Kingly Ruler
 of Austria

Paris, Aug 13-(UP)-Ex-Em- press Zita of Austria Hungary, overriding the advice of her emis- saries in the courts of Europe, was understood today to plan a family conference of Hapsburgs at Via reggie, Italy, in hope of obtaining the Austrian throne for her son Archduke Otto. Zita left for Italy on vacation last week. Otto, mo- toring up through Sweden from the south coast, spent last night at Norkoping, 90 miles south of Stockholm.
 Zita sent couriers to Vienna, Rome, Paris, Prague and Belgrade to sound out sentiment regarding Otto, hoping to take advantage of recent crises in Austria and Ger many and place him on the throne his forefathers occupied. Their re- ports were unfavorable to restora- tion. Where there was not active opposition, it was said that the time was inopportune. The little en- tente nations of Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia are bit terly opposed to a Hapsburg re- storatiun. Nevertheless Zita per sisted, apparently, and has decid- ed against delay.

The old-fashioned firemen's par ade Saturday afternoon, which will climax the tWo-day state firemen s association convention here will be broadcast over WATR. This deci- sion was reached this morning aft CT it was discovered that interest in the parade has alraedy reached an exceedingly high pitch and that thousands in and out of Waterbury who would like to see the colorful spectacle will be unable to do so.
 With a microphone on the re- viewing stand in front of the city hall and with other mikes along the line of march, WATR will be able to bring to its thousands of listeners clear and interesting picture of the parade as it passes up Grand street.
 Unusual Event
 The broadcast is most unusual one of it's kind for station in a city of this size and it entails days of technical preparation. With 70 fire units, 51 pieces of equipment, a dozen brass bands and 4,000 marching firemen, the parade should be stirring and colorful spectacle, both to those who wit ness 1t in person or hear it over the air.
 At the microphone to describe the gala parade will be David Hale Halpern, studio manager of WATR, and Ray Fitzpatrick, radio editor of The Democrat. They will both give word pictures of the pro- ceedings as the first real "old time" fire parade that this city has seen in several decades goes by.
 The local station also announced this morning that a microphone IS being installed permanently in the city hall. It will be placed in the office of Mayor Frank Hayes and it is hoped to begin in few weeks program of weekly talks on To- cal government.
