SULPHUR DIOXIDE
 FUMES FILL HOME

There was a short circuit in the electrical wires attached to the Kel- vinator in the home of Charles R. Hine, 76 Lexington avenue. at 12:32 a. m. today, while MT. and Mrs. Hine were asleep, and also Mrs. Hines mother.
 Mrs. Hine woke up, smelled smoke, aroused her husband, who called fire headquarters. The flremen who responded under Deputy Chief Thomas Cavanaugh, found the mos tor on fire, the fuse blown and the house somewhat filled with sulphur dioxide fumes.
 Chemicals were used to extinguish the blaze. The damage will be small.
 "This fire is 50 interesting" said the office of the fire marshal today, "that we intend to go deeply into the entire situation. We have called in the electrical inspector, for 8 conference on the entire set-up, 50 that we may be able to get the minuest detail as to the cause of the fire. We do not want repetitions of this sort, and we hope to be able to enlighten the people as to what should be done to guard against the escape of fumes that come with such installations"

resignation would not be acted upon by the central committee when 1t meets @ few weeks hence in Hart ford to lay plans for the coming spring convention of the party.
 Instead, it is now planned to let the spring state convention elect the delegates to the national con- vention and then let the latter choose Mrs. Welch's successor when they convene in Philadelphia. Sev- eral Connecticut women are being mentioned for Mrs. Welch's post but 1t is known that the successor of the retiring national committee woman will not definitely be known until after the set-up of the nation al delegation is determined.
 Old Guard Featured
 It is known that if the "old guard" predominates the Connecti- cut national delegation, and there is strong feeling that such will be the case, the picking will be done by such leaders as Lieutenant-G Cover nor Frank Hayes of this city, May or Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford and ex-Mayor David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven. Mrs. Welch had new guard" leanings. It is very likely, at least at the present time, that National Committeeman Arch ibald McNeil will be returned as national committeeman. While he had new guard" leanings when he went into the post 1t is said he now leans more to the "old guard" group and its ideas.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary to-day expressed satisfaction with the selection by the national com- mittee yesterday of Philadelphia as the scene of the coming national convention. Chairman Crary a cou- pie of days ago came out in favor of Philadelphia. At the meeting of the national committee in Washing ton, D. O., yesterday, San Francisco cal. and Chicago, H., also made strong bids for the convention.
 Both National Committeeman McNeil and National Committee woman Welch voted for Philadel- phia at the meeting at the capital.
