First Ward Session

Richard Durkin was elected chairman of the first ward con- vention which was held in the Gem theater. It was voted to vote for delegates and burgess at the same time with two different ballot boxes being used. A list of check CTS and delegates agreed on by the opposing factions was nom- mated by John Burke and &C., cepted. Checkers were Charles Daly, Leo Dinneny, Jere Callahan and Joseph Cavanaugh. Tellers were: Edward Martin, Thomas Skehan, Thomas St John and Charles O'Connor. John Burke was chosen clerk of this causus.
 Frank Bowling then nominated Mir Dinneny and Jere Callahan nominated MT McNamara. Many seats in the Gem were filled and there were many people standing downstairs in the town hall await ing their turn to vote. Voting started at 8:30 and was not fin- ished until $40. The result of the vote was announced by MT Durkin at 10:10. MT Durkin was made ward committeeman.

Naugatuck, April 12-An inter- esting democratic convention will be held in the borough court room at o'clock tonight. With things pointing to renomination of War den Sheridan, main disputes may center about other offices.
 The question of whether or not the democrats will nominate some- body to run against Town Clerk Louis Schiller, Jr., who is a re- publican, but whose popularity has caused the democrats in other years to endorse him, will be one of the main features of the met ing, it is expected. T
 George Fellows, third ward democrat, had been a candidate for this office. He belongs to the Sher- idan group of delegates elected last night but the Green forces will have control of the onvention 1t is expected, because they won out in the first and second wards.
 It is quite possible the conven- tiOn may again endorse MT Schil- Ter. Two years ago democrat was nominated to run againct him, the first time in many years the party had not endorsed him and the dem ocrat was beaten. At this time the party took the stand of nominat- ing party members for all the offices. Whether they will stick to this tonight remains to be seen.
 Some democrats point out that the republicans have endorsed Tax Collector James Fitzgerald whom <Jnr ,,u adlIr renominate tonight and they feel this will gain more votes for the g.o.p as MT Fitzgerald hase some republican friends who would vote for him if the democrats nominate him.
 To offset this they feel the party should endorse MT Schiller. They feel the party would lose more votes by not nominating him than it would gain by nominating a democrat. On the other hand there are a number of democrats who think democrat should hold the office, which is one of the best political plums in town. They con- cede MT Schiller is efficient but he has held the off some time.
 No Decision Yet
 No definite decision on what will be done in this respect has yet been reached. Control of the con- vention by the forces will mean that Dennis Linskey will be renom- mated registrars of voters 1t is ex- pected. Nomination for this office on a major party ticket is equiva' lent to election.
 Whethef Anthony Mariana will be renominated treasurer remains to be seen. He opposed the Green delegates in the second ward cau- GUS, according to reports. It is ex- pected that Atty John F. McDon- ough will be nominated as mem Der of the board of education. This Is for q three-year term, expiring this year. Nomination is usually equivalent to election on either ticket.
 It is believed the convention will nominate Patrick Began as auditor. MT Began is a member of the Green group, Stanley Zapatka Is seeking this office but his chances do not look very bright this morn ing unless MT Began withdraws as a candidate.
 None of the delegates elected at the caucuses last night was in- structed to vote for any particu- lar person or group. There will be no change in the democratic bur gesses. These were nominated last

Cheer at Result

There was loud cheer when the results of the balloting was an- nounced. MT Burkus expressed his thanks to his supporters. George Lambert was chosen ward Committeeman, replacing Joseph Neal. Some supporters of Mr Grant thought his mistake was in opposing Warden Sheridan. The warden was jubilant at the out come.
 In the second ward, before any action was taken Burgess Brophy made a short speech announcing he and his delegates would sup- port the candidacy of Warden Sheridan. John Kiernan was chosen chairman and Frank Kieiy acted as clerk. Mir Kiernan was reelected ward committeeman. Thomas O'Connor, John ostroslxi and Arlington Brown were teii- CTS.

Record Vote

The feature of the caucus was not liveliness and personal dis putes as had been expected, but was the record crowd that turned out. In the first ward the check list showed 543 voters, and there were 12 moro votes on the bur- gess vote and 8 more on the delegates slip. In the second ward there was vote of 236 and in the third ward the check list showed 348 voters.
 The first and third ward vote set new marks. Political veter- ans in these wards who have been attending caucuses steadily for 25 years say they never saw such a crowd out to democratic caucus es before.
 This made total of 1127 about half the number that voted for Warden Sheridan last year at the spring election and a huge major ity of the party caucus lists. This again puts Frank Green in a powerful position in his party. t[e had been defeated for the nom- ination last year and his faction which aided Leo B.phy in last minute opposition to Judge of Probate D. Emmet Shea at the caucuses last fall had lost out then. The Shea and Calvin groups last night were working against the Green supporters but lost out in two wards. MT Bur- kus is known to be g. member of the Shea group.
 Incidentally it is the first time he was chosen by his own war for the office of burgess. Warden Sheridan was nominated as bur gess at the caucuses last spring and after he was nominated for warden, the town committee ap- pointed MT Burkus as the demo- cratic nominee from the third ward.

No Rash Expcnditurc


 There was no rash expenditure of money by the EZRA on the Dunn avenue job, Chris Groh ex- plained today. He said there has been som misunderstanding of the situation since it was revealed at the EZRA board meeting recently that about $13.000 more will have to be spent on 1t by the FERA and the town.
 He explained the original esti- mate for this job was $4,824.69 and up to April l, $4,7828O had been spent. It was originally ex- pected there would be 1,461 yards of excavating to be done. Up to April l, 1910 yards had been done. MT Groh pointed out that 500 more yards were done with the money originally asked than was expected.
 A change of line In the plans submitted by the engineer since the original estimate will result fir 2,3OO more yards of excavatine than was originally expected. This change was due to demands made since the original estimate by property owners.
 MT Groh explained that the req. son $13,OO0 more is needed for the additional 2,300 yards wher $4,S24 took care of 1910 is that there Is to be much rock excava. ton and blasting In the new ex. cavatlons and also a wall is pro. vided for.
