SOCIALISTS IN
 MIXED-UP MESS

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 25-(UP)- Secretary of State c. John Satti was expected, during the coming week, to make decision as to which fac- ton of the disorganized socialist party will be entitled to place on November ballots.
 While he awaited a transcript of the testimony given Monday at a public hearing, attended by left and right wing leaders, Mayor Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport, officially noti- fled him of the results of the Bridgeport primary election held Wednesday night. The left wing group of Devere Allen, Wilton, did not attend the primary and the op- position state ticket was unani- mously endorsed.
 Allen said he was prepared to hold 8 primary election at Wilton, if it were found necessary. and de- elared the right wing primary "a desperate but useless maneuver of the McLevy forces to win an ob- viously bad case"
 The party split was caused by withdrawal of the McLevy faction from the nationa Organization at the recent Hartford state conven- tion, resulting in withdrawal of the national executive committee chart CT.

ISENATORSHIP IN MASS. IS FIGHT
Attempt Made to Force COP. Candidate Off
 Ticket

Boston, Sept. 25-(UP)-,Massa- chusetts' desperate mo quarter battle for the U. s. senatorship was to go to the state supreme court again today with Henry Cabot Lodge Jr, republican nominee, seeking a restraining order to halt proceed ings against his nomination.
 Latest unexpected move in the complicated contest was the chal- lenging by former State Auditor Alonzo B. Cook of Lodges use of "Jr." on his nomination papers. The 34-year-old state representative was named for his late grandfather, the famed U. s. senator who was in- strumental in preventing Americas joining the League of Nations.
 McGlue Disputes Right
 Chairman Charles H. McGlue of the state ballot law commission, who has been charged with partisanship because of his connection with the democratic state committee and the campaign committee of Governor James M. Curley, democratic sena- torial nominee, disputed Lodges right to call himself "Jr."
 Candidate Lodge can call him. self Henry Cabot Lodge II, but not Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., for his fathers name was George Lodge, said McGlue.
 Official records in the Nahant town clerks ofce and the vital statistics division of the secretary of states office read:
 Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., son of George Cabot Lodge and Matilda E. F. Davis) Lodge, born in Ma hant, July 5, 1902"
