Scramble Expecled

It k believed there will be quite | scramble for the influential. post of chairman. Dennis J. Carroll, head of the Carroll faction in tho first ward, has denied c report hls fac- ton k supporting Hugh Burns, vice. chairman of the committee, for the position.
 The appointment b expected to end m undercover division of dem. 0cratic forces caused by the candi. dates of Mr, Green and Warden John J. Sheridan for the postmas- tership. MT. Green was top-ranking candidate in the examinations with B3.b m average of which, i've points were because of the fact he Is c World war veteran. Edward Ahern, local newspaper publisher, was sec- ond with 7b0 and Judge of Probate D. Emmett Shea ranked third with 703. Warden Sheridan and four other candidaes did not place in the top three from whom the selection is made.
 The possibility that Warden sheri. dan will again seek the democratic nomination for warden this spring " strengthened by the fact he did not got the postmastership. Warden Sheridan has won by very large pluralities In his two efforts thus far. Had he been appointed post- master. he Of course would not De candidate again.
 The only possibility of reIeetion

Watch Political I,caotion

With appointment of Frank r Green, democratic town committed chairman, as postmaster in Nauga- tuck for a four year period now ap- parently a certainty, local demo. crats are wondering Just what ef- feet it will have on the political sit- uation here. It was announced yes- tcrday that Congressman J. Joseph Smith has recommended Mir. Green for the position, to the president and the senate is expected to con firm the appointment as soon as the proposal Is presented, which ia expected to be in n few days.
 MT. Green will by the civil serv- ice laws, have to withdraw from ac- tive politics This apparently will leave the faction of which he has long been the head lcaderless, and speculation as to who will take his place was current here today.
 The name of Burgess Leo BrOphy was suggested aS a possible success sor. MT, Brophy is highly rated as q burgess and has n big following in the second ward, of which ware MT. Green was also member. Tho Green faction was one Of the strong. est in town, It's influence extending to all three wards here.
 Resignation by MT. Green of hi' position nS a member of the demo. cratic town committee will be ncccs. sary with his appointment, it ls ex' pected. This will mean a new town committee head will be necessar, and a member will also be appoint, cd to fll the vacancy which hl withdrawal will make.
