 Suddenly, last May, Miss Craw- ford became cool toward her, Miss Rogers said. T don't know why. I called her and she was very frigid. Finally I wrote her, asking what had happened. The next thing I knew I was called to the sheriff's ofice," Miss Rogers said. Captain Robert A.

He refused to discuss them when Miss Rogers appeared at his ofiice with an attorney.
 Cook said that Miss Rogers of- fered to see him alone and also re- marked that her friendship with Miss Crawford could be patched up if the actress would consent to see her again. Apparently, Miss Craw- ford did not consent. R-K-O studio denied that Miss Rogers had been discharged at the actress suggss- ton.

 The primaries will probably be held early in September, leaving ap. proximately for the election cam paign. The fusion forces held their primaries and conventions two weeks ago.
 Town Clerk Candidates
 Several candidates are being mentioned for the town cierkship nomination. Party leaders seem to agree that the nomination should go to c woman which eliminates several male candidates who have been reported in receptive mood for the nomination.
 Mrs. Mary Kilmartin, widow of Dr. Thomas Kilmartin and c lead- CT in local Democratic circles, is being prominently mentioned as . candidate to oppose Miss Egan. Her supporters say she would make an ideal candidate and could wage an effective campaign.
 The name of Mrs. Alice Bradley has also been mentioned as c possible nominee. The general sen- timent for woman cadidate for town clerk apparently excludes from consideration William J.

 The field for the nomination for selectman is understood to be open, with several candidates seeking support.
