 The inaugural message. in view of the split among the democratic factions, was expected not to spare the feelings of the senators who last year betrayed the party when hree members voted with repub- licans in judgeship deal, causing the governor to issue his famous declaration that "moggots be mag gots."
 Inaugural day will mark the passing of republican control of the state ticket, outside that Of the governor. The November election gave the democrats every office and q command, for the first time in many years, of the states spend- ing program.
 It also will mark tho first time tho socialist party has had repre- sentation in the general assembly. The three socialist members from Bridgeport New England's first socialist controlled city---were re- garded as a stabilizing element to whip the major parties into line on important legislation during tho five months session. All three par ties practically arc in agreement on unemployment insurance, res lief, old age pension, tax relief and liquor law revision, leaving only the methods of administration Io be determined.

He named special committees to investigate the elec- tions by small margins of Wallace Campbell Of South Kingston and z. Earl Anthony of Portsmouth, re- publicans.
 Hhe rest was easy. Republican legislators began retreating from the capitol. Democrats occupying spectator seats cheered each new bit of legislation. One republican, Senator Daniel Mclaughlin of East Providence, was caught leaving the senate chamber and arrested"
 The i've republican justices of the supreme court had come for the inaugural in dress suits and Governor Green. after learning that they were to fall by the wayside, sent an emissary to say he would be embarrassed" should they re- main for the belated Inauguration ceremony.
 Chief Justice Charles r. Stearns and his associates. J. Jerome Hahn, Elmer J. Rathbone. John Sweeney and John s. Murdock all departed. They were silent but indicated they would take no action toward re- claiming their seats.
 Named in their places were Con- gressman Francis E. Condon, As- sistant Attorney-Gene William Moss of Providence. and House Floor Leader Edmund w. Flynn, all democrats, and Superior Judg- es Hugh E. Baker and A. A. Cap- otosto, republicans. Flynn was ap- pointed chief justice.

 "Iv the state ready?" he asked.
 "Ycs," said Attorney General David T. Wilentz.
 "Is the defendant ready, and Is he In court?"
 "Yes your honor" said Edward J. Peilly. Then began jury selec- ton.
 First Juror Chosen
 Charles Walton, ST., n machinist from High Bridge, N. J., was sworn in to-day as the first juror in the Hauptmann trial.
 Each prospective juror ques- tioned by the defense was asked the number of chcildren he had and the age of the youngest.
 Apparently they would peremp- Aorily challenge any tnlesmen with an infant child the age of the Lindbergh baby when he died at 20
 Walton was accepted as the first juror. He Is a small, slight man .with graying hair. He had to think for 20 seconds before he could remember how many chil- dren he had, finally saying:
 nave Aoui' s"o "oJ" "" wv" girls.
 By being first chosen, Walton automatically became foreman of the jury.
 A five-minute recess was taken nt 11:10 6. m.
 Talesmen Queried Several talesmen were asked whether they had read the Win chell column on the trial and somo court attaches believed Winchell would be called as a witness at the trial. He was in the courtroom.
 Supreme Court Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, trying to speed the selection of Q jury, asked many questions himself, and occasionally exhibited annoyance at the talea- mems refusal to bend their 1udg- ment 10 the facts as they Will be brought out by the states 1b0 Wit nesscs.
 An hour and c half after Jus tice Trenchard brought his gavel down on the pine bench with q mild tap, and officially declared the trial open, only one juror had definitely been seated. He was Charles Walton, ST., a machiniBt from High Bridge, N. J.. Because he was first to be accepted he VIII serve as foreman.
 Miss Role Pill. 0 portly woman of ChlifOrn, was sworn as juror number two, at 11:45 q. m.
 Hauptrnann Enters 2 Bruno Richard Hauptmann, pal lid, thin-faccd, and tight lippcd, came in heavily shacklcd and closely guarded, he sat with a be- wildered expression in his mild blue eyes to hear himself de- scribed as the brutal maraudcr who, on March 1, 1882, climbed into the nursery of the Lindbergh home, stole Charles A. Lindbersh Jr., from his crib, and killed him fin a lonely road in the sourland mountains.
 His normally stocky frame looked wasted from his weeks of Imprisonment. Yet if there was within his mind the slightest fear of conviction and the electric chnlr, there was no betrayal of 1t in his demeanor. His attorneys and his

houses and apartments there were, have disappeared.
 Farmers hustled into town with stocks of butter and eggs. Tho ho- tel ordered ten times as much food as usual. Shopkeepcrs laid in oX- tensive stores.
 Main street from the Civil war monument south to the library and courthouse ordinarily Is a deserted street. Today automobiles jammed both sides of the narrow thorough fare. State police directed traiIlc away from the vicinity of the courthouse.
 Many of the automobiles be- longed to farmers who usually come to town on Saturdays. Today, however, was just like Saturday, very much more exciting.
 Street Is Crowded
 At 9 q. m. the street outside the court was black with humanity. and 0 long line of would-be spec tators, many of them equipped with thermos bottles and sandwich boxes, patiently awaits the signal for the opening of the doors. Only 50 of them will be permitted inside but more than 200 others main- tain an mir of hopefulness.
 Edward J. Reilly, bluff and hearty defense counsel, dressed in formal striped trousers and wear ing q white carnation, arrives at 9:05 Q. m, and is saluted by bat terics of cameras and sound reel machines. He stops and talks jo- vially with the assembled report ers, and then consents to speak . few words Into the microphonc. His last message to the world is that ho expects q fair trial for Haupt- mann, and that If his client gets q fair trial, he will be acquitted.
 Mrs Anna Schoeffler Hauptmann, smiling and confident, reaches the court house shortly after Reilly ap- pears. She goes at once to the office of Sheriff John II. Curtiss, and se- cludes herself for the hour she will have to wait before the court crier opens the session with his time- honored formula.
 Fourteen of the talesmen, seven men and seven women, are seated in 0 special reserved section, ana chat in low tones as the court room slowly fills.
 Across Nation to Trial
 A 2O-year- r-old Los Angeles girl, who travelled across the country to see the Hauptmann trial, IS the first person in a long line waiting to get into the courtroom.
 'iI hope I get in," Miss Muriei Clair says, standing by the closed door guarded by 6 state policeman in bluo uniform.

 e Inaugural plans were being per fected today. Gov. Cross, whose election in 1880 gave democrats control of the executive post TOT the first time in IS years. will be- gin his third consecutive term tho first democrat to attain that distinc ction. The patronage problem constituted his greatest worry.
 Important appointments are to be made at tho coming session to i'll the posts of insurance com missioner and highway commis- sioner.

court records unless his testi- mony is excluded -- the story of Hauptmann's early criminal career as the Bad Boy of Kamenz" Germany, as q burglar. highway man, and jail breaker.
 Marshaling the witnesses, keep ing 6 semblance of order in the noisy press rooms, supervising the jury, is the busiest man in Hunter don county, the rotund sheriff John II. Curtiss, custodian of the court and all there Is within it, in- cluding the prisoner. Curtiss takes his job with remarkable sang froid. He is affable, courteous, con stantly smiling. He never speaks above q whisper. But he cannot be crossed by impetuous newspaper men. When they become insistcnt upon some better arrangements In his court, Curtis merely laughs them away.
 Mystery Angles of Defense
 It is the defense which will provide all the mystery angles" The state will attempt to strip tho trial free from Q hundred mya- terious coincidcnts that have made the case an unparalleled criminal story.
 The defense. on the other hand. will inject John Hughes Curtis of Norfolk, the imaginative boat builder who committed n cruel hoax on the Lindbergh family when he pretended he was In touch with the actual kidnapers of the baby. It will make much of tho suicide of Violet sharpe. the maid in the Dwight W. Morrow home, who seemed, for 6 time, to know much. It may even bring in- to the trial the equally amazing case of 0aston E. Means. the Washington swindler who took Mrs Evalyn McLean's $104,OO0 on the promise that for that sum he could obtain . the return of the baby.
 To Confuse the State
 The strategy of the defense. worked out by the veteran Edward J. Reilly of Brooklyn. an oratorical lawyer who boasts long record of obtaining acquittals of prison- CTS charged with capital crimes, will be to confuse the states case on every possible angle--to instill In the minds of the twelve men and women who are to decide on Hauptmann's guilt Che belief that gang of conspirators committed the crime, and that Isidor Fisch. the poverty stricken fur cutter who was q friend of Hauptmann's, lead tho gang.
 Fisch is dead. He cannot be called as witness.
 This trial is to determine one matter. Did Fisch commit the crime and hand the proceeds to Hauptmann, as Hauptmann main- tains, or did Hauptmann commit the crime and lend some of the $50.00 to the man now lying in a German grave?"

 Besides the plates issued for mos torists in the city and vicinity, the local office answered an IS. Q. s." from Torrington for 500 sets late Monday afternoon.

 The last report of the total num- Der of plates issued from the Wa terbury office, previous to the open- ing Monday morning, was 10.891. It is probable that the total mum. Der will be in the neighborhood of 14,00O.
