WATERBURY WILL
 GET CONVENTION
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D party, move considered highly sig niflcant in this state.
 Some estimates were that labor could muster at least 30,00O votes in the thickly-settled New Haven and Bridgeport areas, both highly in- dustrial.
 If majority of these were shifted to the McLeVy banner, and if the number of "disillusioned" voters were substantial, socialists believed they could make their greatest showing this year. McLevy received approximately 21,000 votes in Con- necticut when he ran for governor in 1886. A perplexing situation confronted labor groups, it was said. They are almost solidly in favor of the New Deal but can find no way to vote for furtherance of its policies at the present time except by a McLevy vote.
 Labor leaders assert there is no out-and-out New Dealer scheduled for a place on the Democratic ticket this fall. They were believed flirting with the idea of forming coalition of left-wing groups of all party la bels in opposition to conservative elements.
 Observers pointed out that, since this is not a presidential election year, the vote of both major parties probably will decline. The left-wing vote rarely drops in of-years, it was pointed out, making another item of advantage to McLevy. He normally draws heavy vote here, taking most of it from the Democrats. If he does the same thing at Waterbury, and perhaps at New Haven he may ride into posi- tion where he will hold the balance of power, such as the American La Dor party now enjoys at New York City.

STRAND

Only two days remain in which local movie-goers may enjoy the splendid twin feature program cur- rently at Warner Brothers Strand theater.
 Topping the program is the latest Burns and Allen comedy College Swing" with Martha Kaye and Bob Hope sharing stellar honors being ably supported by such top-notch performers as Edward Everett Hor- ton, Ben Blue, Betty Grable, Jackie Coogan, Florence George, John Payne and many others. Depicting college life in its most madcap and collegiate" aspect, the film is one that you'll really en- joy.
 So the story goes of a typical American coed school, Alden Col lege, which is turned upside down when one of the students, Oracle Allen, stands to inherit the entire university due to the provisions of the will of one of her ancestors, as soon as she passes her first exam ination.
 The unthinkable way in which Oracle passes the exam and the many "screwy" changes she makes in the faculty kept audiences attend ing the opening performances yes- terday in a Imaginable mood. It's. just one of those pictures made to order for this swell cast of funmakers so why not plan to attend before the closing performances Tuesday night.
 The program is rounded out with Scandal Street" starring Lew Ayrcs the presentation of the co-feature and Louise Campbell.

POLI'S

By popular demand the most eternally appealing love story of all time is being presented to Water burians at the Loew Poli theater Wednesday when Mans Castle" returns for a three-day engagement.
 This poignant and moving love story co-stars two of your most popular favorites, in the persons of Spencer Tracy and Loretta Young.
 Tracy, awarded the 1888 Academy Award, for his brilliant character ization in the thrilling Captains Courageous" has never been more ideally cast. He portrayS with true artistry the role of man who couldn't hear trains whistle in the night without wanting to hop a freight. Loretta Young, charming and vibrant, turns in a grand perform ance as the girl who loved him so strongly she told him he was free to go whenever he wished. The roles these stars portray and per- fectly suited to their individual talents.
 Mans Castle" may be regarded as a brilliant screen achievement, a love story placed in g tawdry set ting but filled with the warmth of life itself.

 19, said, Tt was stated in the open ing of this report that this in- vestigation had now reached stage at which 1t seemed expedient to report to the court with certain recommendations before proceeding with the investigation. There are still certain phases of the investi- gation, particularly relating to the municipal corruption in the City of Waterbury which have not yet been completed and which it is the desire of this grand jury to inquire into further.
 So far as lobbying and Corrupt Practices are concerned, however, the grand jury finds reasonable ground to believe that a crime or crimes have been committed involv- ing particularly Daniel J. Leary, T. Frank Hayes, John D. Thoms, Daniel F. B. Hickey, Joseph H. Lawlor, Nathan Spiro and Matthew A.. Daly.
 It is therefore recommended that the transcript of sworn testimony taken by this grand jury be trans mitted to the special attorney for the state for such action as he may see fit to take in the prosecution of violations of the Corrupt Prac- tices Act or of Sections 6169 and 6170 of the general statutes and for the prosecution or such other crimes as he may believe to have been committed after examination of the evidence"
 Alleged Stock Transfer
 Senator Lawlor is alleged to have received 1,200 shares of Electric Steam Sterilizing company stock for his efforts in having beneficial legislation passed in 1885. Also in connection with this legislation the following are named: Rep. John D. Thoms, 200 shares; Senator Nathan Spiro 200 shares; Senator Matthew Daily, 200 shares, former Rep. Daniel F. B. Hickey, 200 shares.
 Thoms has resigned as statute re- vision commissioner; Hawlor has re- signed as athletic commissioner and Daly has resigned as county com- missioner because of these charges. Governor Cross demanded the resignations.

 Nick was secured for this engage ment only after much difficulty and even more persuasion on the part of Manager Ed. Fitzpatrick, of the LoeW Poli theater Due to important stage and radio engagements, Nicks appearance here Wednesday even- ing. will positively be his only New England appearance. Make the Loew Poli theater your important date for this Wednesday evening.
 Supporting this headliner, is a truly outstanding bill of headline vaudeville, including such stellar performers as Judson Cole, The Mad Magician, whose feats of magic will astounr you; Jean and Joan, two of Broadways speediest steppers; Dele and Bedini, bringing you comedy De Luxe, and the Three Kirkillos, sensational acrobats, n.r- forming some of the most difficult feats in the acrobatic world, with perfect ease.

I ton resulted in arrest of two of Fairfield county's most powerful Re- publicans, the censuring and pos sible further involving of others in high command of the state group, the Fairfield county combine found itself with bear by the tail. The bear" in one sense of the meta phor, is MT. Mackenzie who, of course, was the Bradley-Pryor groups chief elephant until but very recently.
 Tie-Up Feared
 Can it be possible that the Brad ley-Pryor aggregation will be able to get along without MT. Mackenzie, is the question puzzling observers to- day? This it is agreed, seems n- likely unless the Bradley-Pryor com bine can take the lead in urging and obtaining the resignations of Will lard, Buckley and Williamson. By this means it is possible that the public may forget, in time, MT. Mackenzie's tie-up with the Brad ley-Pryor faction, now and next fall.
 But until the contributions" from Fairfield County to other sections of the state last election time, particu- larly to Waterbury, and MT. Mac kenzie's part in the Waterbury Hartford tie-up is ironed out in the courts, the Bradley-Pryor group re- mains on the well-known "spot," most political observers agree.
 Even their part in electing Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., as president of the Mckinley Association at the Water bury annual meeting and dinner last February, is not expected to serve as absolution for the Fairfield coun- tvs factions attempt to run state affairs, with the aid of MT. Macken- zie. And Representative Noah H. Swayne, of Darien, unheard from during the present grand jury de- bacles, has yet to get an account ing from the Bradley-Pryor group of its disposition of the funds of the organization. Or, at any rate, he has not made such promised state ment public up to now.

I0WAPRIMARY TO
 GAUGE NEW DEAL
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D expected that their ticket would draw 30O,0O0 voters and E. H. Bir- mingham, chairman of the Demo- cratic state central committee, claimed only 100000 Democratic voters. Nevertheless, the predomin- ant issue was the race between Wearin. a lean, 35-year-old farmer, and Gillette, a gray-haired lawyer. Three other Democratic senatorial candidates opposed them and al- though the three were conceded lit- tie chance, some believed that they might poll enough votes to throw the nomination to a state conven- ton.
 The law provides that unless one candidate polls more than 35 per cent of the total vote case in the race, a convention must make the nomination.
 In, such event it was believed that Gillette would have strong advantage. He has the support of the state organization, headed by Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel and Sen. Clyde L. Herring.
 Except for the supreme court bill, there was little to distinguish the New Deal loyalty of Gillette and Wearin. Wearin had no opportun- ity to vote on the court bill as 1t did not reach the house, but he said he favored it.
 Although Wearin claimed the support of President Roosevelt, Gill; lette denied it and pointed out that neither the president, James A. Far ley. Democratic national commit teeman, nor Secretary of Agricul- ture Henry A. Wallace, a native of Iowa, had spoken any word in be- half of Wearin.
