Joe CORDOBA, Culver City slugger

REPUBLICANS TO CLASH IN 18TH
Coroner Monzani, Atty Carroll AvOWed Candi=
 dates for Senator

Coroner John T. Monzani and Attorney James w. Carroll today were avowed candidates for the g o. p. nomination for senator in the 18th district. The district convention will take place Wednesday night al g. o. p. headquarters on West Main street and spirited contest between the two contenders is anticipated. It marks the first time in years that 8 fight over the 18th senatorial dis trict nomination has occurred.
 Up until almost two weeks ago the senatorial nomination in the 18th was going begging. Several were mentioned for the post. Sud- denly the Monzani and Carroll forces drew battle lines and the contest was on. Attorney Carroll claims a majority of votes. but Cor oner Monzani said today: "I'm in the race for certainty"
 Whether or not the senatorial fight in the 18th will lessen the re- publican chances of victory remains to be seen. The democrats have not yet nominated their man but he is most likely to be the incumbent, Senator George T. Culhane. At the present time there is union party candidate in the field, also, James F. Overton of the Park road. A battle in the g. o. p. ranks is likely to injure the party's chances ot carrying the 18th, it was said today.
 Wednesday night, also, the re- publicans of the Waterbury pro- bate district will meet to nominate their candidate for the office of judge of probate. It is apparent that Attorney Edward F. Sweeney will be the man picked. The senatorial convention will take place at o'clock in the evening. The probate convention will be called to order two hours earlier. Town Chairman J. Warren Upson will preside at both sessions.
 Thursday night the g. o. p. can didates for the house of repreSen- tatives will be picked. No decision on the nominees has yet been reach- ed but among those mentioned are Attorney Albert Bronsky, Mortimer Calvin, Harry Ryder and Mrs. Dor othy Vandercook.
