ATTORNEY WALL GETS INTO RACE
TorringtOn Lawyer Out for Sth District Congress
 siOnal Nomination

Attorney Thomas Wall of Tor. rington jumped into tho lead for the fifth district congregational nomination on the republican ticket durIgn the past week, 1t has been learned on excellent authority ard tho chances of the man from tho Litchncld county city capturing the honor appear very good at the present time. That Litchfield county will insist that it be given the nofiis tnation this year is forcgofo con- cluBion.
 Attorney Wall is one Of the best field county and has held public known republican leaders in Litch- posts on many occasions. It iS claimed by his supporters that ne is the strongest of those mentioned for the nomination.
 Others In Field
 Other leading Litchneld county republicans in the race to date have included Representatives J. Mortis mer Bell of Salisbury, retired New York lawyer, and Chauncey Hutch- ings Of HarWinton. Representative waiter Howe Of the town of Litch- field b also considered strong contender. HutchingS, 1t was reli- ably reported during the week, je wiliIgn to withdraw and support Attorney Wall. Representative Bell, however, is the stumbling block. It has been his ambition for many years to represent the fifth diStrcit In congress.
 Waterbury Candidate
 Watcrburys lone candidate for tlc nomination, Town Chairman J. Warren Upson, will have to fight all of the Litchfleld county men in the race, Litchncld county republicans contend that it is their turn to get Inc nomination in view of the fact that they gave way to former Con- grcssman E. w. Qoss Of this city when c successor had to Do picked to the late Congressman James F. Glynn of Winsted.
 Wanted It Before
 Representative Bell wanted the nomination when 1t went to Con- gressman Qoss, but he did not make any fight at the congressional con' yention. Now he asserts he is willing to fight any and all corners. or the Litchfield county men in the race Q tendency is being shown, however, to swing to Attorney wal of Torrington rather than to Rep- resentative Bell if the fight reaches the floor of the convention.
