The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-14

States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn's office in Hartford Is to be somewhat emptied if the republicans are successful this year. Attorney AlcOrn has ale ready announced his intention of resigning his court post as soon as he has disposed of ex- fsting important business i'm his office. Now his right hand man, County Detective Ed. ward J. Hickey, has an- nOunced his candidacy for the g. O. D. nomination for high aheriff of Hartford county. He {; believed assured of the nom- faat.On and the republicans are confident that he will be suc- ccssful at the polls. Victory would make another vacancy in the states attorneys office. Needless to say there are many already with their eyes on both posts.
 Others in the z. O. D. race for the shrieyaIty nomination have Included Eugene w. House of Glastonbury and Dep- rfy Sheriffs Harry w. Com. stock and Charles Lord. They are all said to have pIedged their support to Detective Hickey, thereby cIinching the nomination for him.
 On the other hand the dem- Ocratic candidate for sheriff of Hartford county is uncer- tain. with number Of candi- dates in q receptive mood. Last night the New Britain county delegates endorsed ex-MayOr Angelo Nj. Paonessa of that city for the nomination. He ran four years ago hut was de- feated. William F. Seymour of East ,Grnnby and Rudolph w. Trautner of East Hart- ford are also in the race. Will liam w. Greene Of Hartford, secretary Of the democratic state central committee. who was mentioned for the nomin- atfOn has announced that he Is supporting Seymour.
 Tine republicans have opened their state Headquarters on the third floor of the Allyn house in Hartford. Part of the staff has already been picked, also. State Chairman J. Henry ROraback and Secretary Car. ence G. Willard of the central committee will be on hand ut all times during the campaign. Miss Katherine Byrne Of Put nam, state vice-chairInan. will also be present. She has cn. gagged Mrs E. w. Frlsbie as her secretary. Mrs Frisbic was her secretary two years ago. Mrs Ellen Healy of Hartford will once more be in charge of the speakers bureau.
 Attorney Kenneth Wynne of New Haven, executive sccre- fary to Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, who has been mentioned for the democratic nomination for congress In the third dis trict, has announced that he Is out of the race. Attorney Vin- cent GIynn, president Of the Young Democratic clubs of Connecticut, is being b0omed for the congressional nOmlna. ton, as Is Selectman Curtis K. Thompson of West Haven. The nomination will be open this year as tine incumbent, Con- grcSsn1an Francis 1T. MalOney, will run for the office of U. s. senator on the democratic ticket.
 The New Haven democrats have decided to endorse Judge John l.. Gils0n, republican. for judge of probate. This action has been taken i'm the past and, therefore, no precedent Is be- ing established this year. The democrats have not found any one willing to oppose Judge GiIson.
 There is talk in Elm City democratic circles of rcnomin. atfng State Tax Commissioner William Fl. Hackett for the senate in the 8th district in order to settle . squabbIe. When it was learned that Commissioner Hackett was inclined to refrain from seek ing reelection, several candi- dates appeared for his place. At the present time Alderman James H. Beatty is said t0 be in the lead In the race hut fear of bitter feeling may possibly induce the party lead- CTS to renOminate Hackett.
 In this end of New Haven county the claim is being made that Constable James +. O'. Ieary has the lead for the democratic shrieyalty nomina- tt0n. And In the West Ha. ven end the forces hacking J. E. Slavin of Milford are claim- ing victory for him at the @OIsslmg county convention. Tricnds o: William M0nagan of Hamden, former Water- ,burlnil, are known to be work ing quietly in his behalf.
