 REVEALS SECRET

 PROVED FAILURE
Ballots Were Cast With Same Result-RunlOrS
 of Deal in Air
BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Democrat Stan RepOrter)

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan 10. -Twenty-six ballots up to 1 O. clock this afternoon had failed to break the deadlock which existed when the State Senate adjourned late Wednesday afternoon. The vote on the appointment of a clerk, the first official action in the organization of the senate re- mained the same, all three parties, represented in the Senate, voting along party lines.
 lightweight ballots had been cast when the Senate adjourned for lunch this noon. The dead- lock continued as the session re- stunned with no apparent signs of q break, this despite the best efforts of party leaders to suggcs ways and means whereby the Senate might organize and facilitate the inaugur- ation of Governor Wilbur L. Cross. and the remaining democratic state officials.
 Awaiting the Break
 The various elective officials were again assembled at the Capi- tol awaiting the break in the party ranks that would enable the in- auguration to proceed. They were In startling contrast to the splen- dor of Wednesday when they had appeared resplendent in formal dress. Today all. including Mayor Hayes, clad in gray. were attired In business suits.

TOWNSFOLK LIKE DOCTOR CONDON
 FOR BRISK WAYS
He Speaks T h cir Lan- guage and Fights Back
 at the Defense
. BY JAMES 0. AUSTIN
 United Press Staff Correspondent

Pennington, N. J., Jan. 10-(UP) The townsfolk Hooking to old Remington courthouse in greater numbers than ever before, for one of their own is on the stand, and handing it back, word for word, to New York attorney who wears stripped trousers and a morning coat.
 The old gentleman on the stand is not a resident of Remington or Hopewell, but he might have been lifted from a farm in this section.
 He is Dr. John F. Condoh of the Bronx, Q 74-year-old educator-a bachelor of arts, master of arts. and doctor of pedagogy. But for all his degrees, for ali his education, for all, his years of teaching he's Just folks'-and the townsfolks like him because he talks their language.
 Take It Or Leave It
 He's old and he's just a bit in- clined to slip in an opinion or two in the midst of some very import ant testimony. He's no respector of persons in that he says his piece and you can take 1t or leave 1t, but his words are tempered with the mellowness of three score years and fourteen.
 Although the Jafsie of the Lind- bergh case might incline a bit to the side of sentimentalism he has what it takes to captivate the ci- tizens of Hunterdon county-those at least who were able to crowd into the courtroom. News that Dr. Condon was on the stand spread like wildfire. At least thousand more persons than ever before, damned Main street in front of the courthouse. The entrance was roped off on either side of the steps, but ropes are simple barriers to cross or duck under when the man who gave up nights of rest, days of peace to help the Lind bergh family is on the stand.
 C0ndOn Enjoys It
 Condon sits complacently. He en- joys the show--Not because he is

Deadlock Broken When Three Socialists Cast Votes For Republicans
.STEAMR0LLER OF REPUBLICANS IS
 STARTING WORK
Two Amendments Put in By Rep. ThOms Were
 Voted Down
BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Democrat StafH RepOrter)

State Capitol, Hartford, Jan. 10 The democrats of the House. un- der the leadership of Minority Leader John D. Thoms of Water bury felt the first effect of the overwhelming republican steamrol- Ter this morning as the 1883 joint rules were adopted for the 1885 session after two amendments, of- fered by Rep. Thoms, had been voted down along strictly party lines.
 Rep. Thoms whipped the repub- licans into submitting to a stand ing vote when he threatened a roll-call, which would have lasted thirty minutes, if his motion for Q standing vote did not prevail.
 Nature Of Amendments
 His amendment to the joint rules would have provided that not more than seven members of one party be placed on any committee. The House membership on the committees consists of thirteen members. Seven would constitute a majority. Rep. Thoms offered this amendment so that the democrats and socialists might have adequate representation on the various leg islative committees.
 The democratic party, he de- clared, was really the majority party in the state, although not controlling the house vote. Rep. Daniel Hickey of Stamford, the republican floor leader, spoke briefly against the proposed a. mendment, pointing out that in the past the joint rules had always been satisfactory to all concerned.
 Rising Vote Did It.
 On a rising vote Rep. Thoms' a. mendment was rejected. During the discussion Rep. Ball, republi- can of old Lyme, stated that the democrats ought to seek only pro- portionate representation on the committees, wheras the Thoms a. mendment would have given them almost equal representation. He re-
