party, ne mas no voice III the selection of any candidates. It is expected many may enroll in the democratic party for the democrats usually furnish quite lively caucus es. The republican machine usually rolls on quite smoothly.
 The registrars will hold an- other meeting week from to-mor- row. This will be the final time for registration with a party. Vot- CTS will not be made at these ses- sions.
 Republicans Sit Tight
 Local republicans are sitting tight until dates for their caucuses have been set, it was learned to- day. The state central g. o. D. com mittee announced the dates for the caucuses and notified the town chairman, who in the case of Nau- gatuck is Dr H. H. Gorton, to issue the call. After that the republ:- can camp is expected to be more active here.
 The democrats on the other hand name the dates for their eau ces through their town committee. These have not yet been selected.
 No Court Today
 For the second successive day there was no session of the borough court today, no arrests having been made last night. No accidents were reported to police.
 Will Split Result?
 Republicans are wondering if the apparent contest for the Democra- tic nomination for Judge of pro- bate will result in split in that party. Judge Emmett Shea is known to be out for the office again but other prominent Democrats are reported desirous of this political plum.
 Efforts are being made on the part of Democratic leaders to straighten this situation out before the caucus dates arrive so that things may be harmouniaus but on- lockers are not optomistic as to their success.
 Reports have it Frank Green, former warden, seeks office but he will have nothing to say either in affirmation or denial of this re- port. Mir Green is chairman of the town committee and has much in- fluence in town so if he does op- pose Judge Shea, there is likely .o be real Democratic caucus fight. Judge Shea is strong in the first ward although he has some opposi- tion even in this ward. MT Green might be counted on to take the delegates from the second ward but just how the third ward dele gates would go is uncertain.
 These with the Beacon Falls del- egates would probably control the nomination.
 Attorney Joseph Talbot has de- nied emphatically a report he will be candidate for this office on the republican ticket. He indicated he would support Attorney James Dalton if the latter were again nominated.
