 Mayor Hayes To Cast Vote
 The unit rule was placed on the delegation upon motion by Attor- ney OConnor. It was voted that the votes of tho delegation will be cast in the state convention by Mayor Hayes. In the absence of the mayor Chairman Crary was em- powered to cast the votes. Upon the motion of Attorney Mcdonald, Chairman Crary was empowered to issue proxies to others in the event that delegates last night are unable to attend the convention.
 The list of thirty-six delegates gives to every democratic group and to every section of the city repre- sentation at the state convention. Attorney Cipriano is president of the original Young Democratic club of Waterbury. MT. Loughran is president of the Jeffersonian club. Alderman Sciullo is president of the Italian Democratic club. And so on, down the list, every local group was given recognition. Chairman Crary, in handing out proxies, will give further recognition to the various groups above mentioned and also to other clubs that were unable to ob- tain places on the state delegation at least nights city convention.
 Old Leaders Toppled
 Peace may have reigned in the local convention but in Winsted MT. Brennan, long an "old guard" leader in Litchfield county was top pied from his seat under an on- slaught led by Edward Doyle, Win sted PWA paymaster. As a result the "new guard" can rely on Win steds seven votes in the state con- vention. To offset this, however, Dr. Dolan fell from his leaders seat in Manchester when he was defeated by Town Chairman Thomas J. Dan- aher for control of the delegation from that town. Dr. Dolan is a new guard" leader. The Manches- ter delegation will be "old guard. It will number eleven, leaving the "old guard" net gain of four between Winsted and Manchester. Dr. Dol ans attempt to control hte conven- tion by the cry that a vote for his slate meant Q vote for President Roosevelt failed miserably.
 Dr. Satti Wins
 In New London, Dr. Satti was swept to victory, even when he came out plainly with the statement that he would oppose National Commit teeman Archibald McNeil for re- election. The fight in the convention next month, of course, will be whether the majority of national delegates chosen shall be pro-Mc- Neil or anti-McNeil. No mention of the coming fight was made at Wa terbury's convention.
 Tn Middletown the "old guard" faction achieved a landslide victory, defeating the New Deal slate headed by Judge Leonard O. Ryan by wide margin. The Ryan forces, like Dr. Dolan, attempted to use the Roose- welt New Deal achievements as grounds for support in the city con- vention but failed. New Britain's convention was quiet with only 19 delegates present to elect "A dele gates to the state convention. It was unusual for New Britain to have such harmonious session.
 Bridgeport Splits Even
 Bridgeport's convention was just the opposite. With record break ing vote, the forces of Town Chair man John T. Cullinan and George F. Mara were claiming about even shares of the 79 delegates that the Park City will send to the state con- vention. Cullinan, state president of the Young Democrats, Is understood to be "old guard" minded while Mara is 8 close associate of U. s. Attorney General Homer s. Cum mings, champion of National Com mitteeman McNeil for reelection. Bridgeport's delegates are not bound by the unit rule so the polling of the delegation in the state convention will officially show the feeling of the group on the drive to oust Mo- Nell.
