All Stocks Went up in Market Except Utility Issues
Senator BOrah 7hrOuDs His Hat Into Presidential Ring

become an active candidate. His statement yesterday, made to two visitors from Wisconsin. was the most definite commitment he yet has made. Asked to go further and declare definitely on the subject, Borah said: q think my statement regarding the Wisconsin delegation is clear enough"
 From other sources it was learned that the Borah candidacy is being pushed in more unexpected quarters and that 8 real boom for him is shaping up where it would be least suspected among old guard repub- licans of the school that Borah has attacked repeatedly and vigorously It was said that the whole BoraI situation might be changed conSid. erably in the next week or ten days to make him unequivocally, can didate for the nomination. Borah's wide popular following is his strongest asset as possible oppo- nent for President Roosevelt. He would be strong in the east because of his constitutional views and strong in the west because of his ideas on expanded currency.
 The Wisconsin presidential prim- aries will be held on the first Tues day in April. Nominating petitions must contain at least three per cent of the number of votes cast for the leading candidate for governor ir the last election. Governor Philir La Toilette received about 373,00( votes, State Senator Phil Nelson said, expressining confidence that would be no difficulty in obtaining the required number of signatures to 8 ticket of Borat delegates.
 Political leaders, noting the spread of the Borah boom, anxiously have been awaiting some definite state. ment from the 70-year-old senator They are wondering what course the leaders of the progressive movement such as Senator Robert M. LaFol. lette, of Wisconsin, would follow. ing in the event of serious Borak campaign. NJ
 In 1892, most of the progressive bloc supported President Roosevelt but with Borah as a candidate much of this strength probably would swing away from MT. Roose- welt next year.

JUDGE REFUSES BANKS REQUEST
Grants One-Year Law Day for Defendant Owned
 Property 30 Years

Over-ruling the banks request for a short law day, Judge Newell Jen- nings today granted law day of one year for the defendant to redeem his property, in the foreclosure case of the Waterbury Savings Bank against Marie c. Jacaruso, in super for court today. Counsel for the bank suggested a law day of one month.
 Judge Newell Jennings refused the short law day, pointing out that Judge Edward MaScolo, defendants counsel, had shown that the de- fendants had owned the property for 30 years and that payments of interest had only stopped last Sep tember. The foreclosure judgment, in the amount of $12,514.50, was per- mitted to go through. The court stated, however, that evidently the family wants to retain the property and at the end of year, it might find some way to do so.
 In another foreclosure suit grant, ed today, Caroline B. Barlow, trustee, was given judgment of $10,649.25 against Michele Pilla. Law day was fixed for March 2d.

FOUR DIvORCES
 GRANTED TODAY
Wife Leaped From Win- dow to Escape Beatings
 by Irate Husband

Testimony that she had to jump out of a second story window to es- cape further beating at the hands of her husband was offered by Mrs. Catherine P. Jay in obtaining a di- vorce from Arthur c. Jay in super for court today. It was one of four decrees granted by Judge Newell Jennings at the short calendar ses- sion of court.
 Mrs. Jay said she was married to the defendant at Albany, Sept. 30, 1922. On one occasion he struck her so hard, she said, he fractured her nose. Medical evidence was offered to substantiate her claim. On an- other occasion she. said her husband struck her on the ear, breaking the ear-drum. She ran away and jumped out the window to escape.

 Estelle Ford of Milford, former show girl, obtained a decree from George c. Ford, musician, on grounds of desertion. She, said she and her husband appeared together in the same act. They were mar ried Jan. 24, 1928 and the desertion took place Feb. 12, 1882. In the third suit, Ralph A. Tripp was granted divorce on grounds of misconduct. They were married at Copake, N. r., Sept. l5, 1928. Attor- ney Guilfoile appeared for the plaintiff.
 In the fourth suit, Olive Merrill Platt was given a decree on grounds of cruelty, from Edgar w. Platt. Both are residents of New Haven. They were married Oct. 16, 1883. The plaintiff said her husband once threw her out of their automobile because she queried him about an- other woman.

(COQCmueO 1TOIH rage .1J New Dealers. Farley told the United Press he would not discuss the matter.
 Nevertheless, committee mem Der who preferred anonymity said that Tugwell, Hopkins and, to some extent, Ickes were proving to be political liabilities in the midwest and that the question of their dis appearance during the campaign year had been raised at the White House and with Farley.
 It was recalled that Tugwell went to Europe during the 1884 cam paign. It was widely reported then that Tugwell had been sent abroad because of fears that his continued presence in the United States and possible platform appearances might give republicans effective anti-New Deal campaign material.
 Aware of Movement
 The United Press was informed by national committee member that several other committeeman were aware of the movement against Tugwell, Hopkins and Ickes. The committee will meet here next month to choose a convention city, but there is no likelihood of any formal discussion of the political merits of the three officials.
 Persons familiar with democratic party affairs agreed that some of the practical politicap' element would applaud if the gong were rung on all or any one of the three. Any decision would be made by President Roosevelt and the best judgment available today was that he would not sacrifice any of them despite the precedent established by Tugwell's 1884 journey.
 Ickes was questioned by the United Press and replied:
 T am staying"
 Hopkins did not care to comment.
 Tugwell could not be reached immediately. An associate express ed the opinion that the idea of shipping the undersecretary away for political purposes was "too ridiculous for comment"
 Political Sins
 Ickes and Hopkins political sins include various alleged discourteSies to congressman and other powerful democrats, many of whom have waited longer than they liked in the outer offices of Ickes' public works administration and the reliee organ nations headed by Hopkins. Hop- kins also refused during the early period of his federal service to per- init political appointments to ma jor relief jobs. He has abandoned that position in several states but memories finger on.
 Around Tugwell has centered much complaint that the Roosevelt New Deal was activated ty radical or socialiStic or communistic prin- ciples. The United Press was in- formed that democratic suggestions that Tugwell be removed have been met by assurances that "he is just as conservative as you are"
 gwell Speeches Alarm
 Some of Tugwell's speeches have alarmed regular democratic leaders and have been utilized by republi- cans and other anti-New Deal forces in attacks on the Roosevelt admin istration. Tugwell's most publicized activity now is administration oi rural resettlement, which was allot- ted funds to provide shelter and occupation for persons to be re- moved from unsuitable surround ings.
 Whether Tugwell will be used in the 1886 campaign hos not been re- vealed. Some usually well informed persons believe, however, that both Ickes and Hopkins will be on the stump for Roosevelt next year.
