 Visibility Poor
 Even on main city streets, there was almost no visibility. Street lights gleamed through misty halos, but did little to light up the road ways. Large drops of moisture formed on automobiles as the waves of fog hung steadily over the city.
 Roads leading to and from the city were even more heavily blanket ed. Headlights were of little avail, and cars proceeded cautiously as drivers tried to follow the lines of highway fences and centerlines in the highways.
 Charges of eyading responsibility and reckless driving were placed against William J. Kunde, A, of g Vine street, by Motor Patrolmen James Wagner and Thomas Phelan. The officers claim that Kunde fled

and discarded liberal candidates for middle -the-roaders."
 Blamed For Election Loss
 Chairman Smith was not immedi- ately available for a comment on the attack made at Wallingford. With Senator Maloney and Commit teeman Fitzgerald, the Waterbury leader of the state party has been blamed for loss of the election which was incepted at the New London convention. At that time, warning was given the leaders to the effect that discarding of State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone for Col. Thomas E. HeweS, of Farming ton, as the lieutenant-governorship nominee on the ticket would result in loss of many votes.
 The outcome of the election, in which Governor Wilbur L. Cross was defeated by fewer than 5000 votes by Governor-elect Raymond E. Baldwin, was blamed directly on the Democratic leadership at the final tally of the ballots.
 Liberal Democrats remarked that Commissioner Tone would have had the endorsement of the Union party, in addition to the backing of organ ized labor representing membership of 9O0OO workers and pointed to this factor as principal reason for a large normally Democratic vote which was accorded the Socialist candidate, Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport.

JUDGE INCLlS
 TO SPEED TRIAL

Continued from Page D speculation, with the majority of speculators of the opinion that an- other panel will have to be drawn.
 Judge Inglis stated today that when and if it becomes apparent that the present list will be ex- hausted without the F having been selected, he will order another pa mel drawn. The drawing at New Haven will take little time, but service of subpoenas on those drawn will require at least one day.
 Tn the interests of speed, Judge Inglis will have the new list drawn while there are more names left on the present list. None of those picked on the new list would be ex- anined, however, until the old list had been exhausted, according to Judge Inglis.
 5 Days For Present Panel
 Easing opinion on speed of exam ination to date, Judge IngliS be- ieves that the 84 veniremen will furnish material for questioning by counsel for at least five more days. In four days, 61 veniremen were questioned last week, making an average of 15 per day. By this, it is believed that Judge Inglis means he will not draw 8 new panel dur ing the week.
 The four jurors selected so far are:
 Frank M. Brown of Milford, Floyd Griswold of North Branford; Mer- ton F. Wright of North Branford and Clarence F. Roberts of Oxford.
 Should the average of four jurors a week prevail, then it will take two weeks more before the 12 necessary jurors are i1npaneled.
 Testimony After Jan. 1st. Reliable opinion is to the effect that little testimony will be heard before the first of the New Year. It is believed that the balance of the time until then will be required for the selection of the jury.
 Defense counsel disclaimed today any concentrated effort to keep women off the jury. Ten women have been questioned thus far, and ten have been disqualified. Origin ally there were 31 on the panel.
 Other superior courts throughout the state will adjourn December B and remain closed until January 6. This of course is in connection with civil matters. Any criminal cases being tried may be made excep- tions, such as the local trial.
 Thus far in the questioning, the state has challenged IS, the defense, q, and the court IT. When court opens tomorrow, the state will have available 161 challenges; the de- fense, 1855, and the court an un- limited number. At the start, the state and defense were entitled to 176 peremptory challenges.
