 Baldwin Is Away
 His office said he was of on a boat trip and would not return un- til Monday. But high party sources said the former majority leader, an excellent speaker, had withdrawn objections to having his name placed before the convention.
 Pape recently announced his call- didacy for governor, the first to do so for any position on the c. o. P. slate. He has the backing of the Waterbury delegation.
 Danaher has been a receptive candidate for U. 8. senator, but objections to his candidacy recent ly were set up, and the name of States Attorney Alcorn was men, toned.
 Pape's newspaper was credited with having broken" the municipal scandal at Waterbury which rec suited in the arrest of democratic Lieutenant Governor T. Frank Hayes, several past and present state legislators, and many local poe litical hangers-on.
 Alcorn conducted the grand jury probe into the scandal and was ex- pected to prosecute the cases when they come into court.
 Pallotti, a former secretary of the state, was regarded as an excellent vote-getter among the Italian peo- pie. He was reportedly dumped" by high republican leaders during the regime of J. Henry Roraback for aspiring to a higher office than secretary of the state.

 Attorney Patrick Healey's name was placed before the convention by Patrick Brick and seconded by Wal ter Jarvis, as James Monaghan rose to take similar action. Senator Culhane nominated Attorney Me- Linden, and was seconded by Mry Francis Flanagan.
 Senator Culhane in making the nomination pointed out that in the last 25 years there has been no such activity accompanying Q convention and added that new faces in the convention and among the candi. dates were responsible for the con- dition.

 Many an eminent member of the Democratic party in the state owes his start to Chairman Crary and, although politics has created diverg- ence of some portions of this earlier allegiance, 1t was the Waterbury or- ganization which effected recogni- ton of any Democrat for office at Hartford, membership on the state committee, successful campaign for the general assembly.
 Earlier this year, when there was question concerning return to East. ern Point for the convention in September, Chairman Crary told friends that he would not attend. He opposed, for several reasons. the continuing of the convention at Groton where, he held, facilities would be inadequate for the en- larged representation of this year, HOO delegates.
 His retirement from the state cen- tral committee will leave two vacan- cies from Waterbury, with that of Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, who has announced his plan to retire this fall. From Waterbury are the chair man of the state committee, J. Francis Smith: the secretary, jp- seph r. Mulville, and two remAin- ing members, one of whom may mol continue to serve: Gertrude Gordon and Dora A. Egan.

Ryan Calls Turn
 On Naming Of
 Attorney He0ley

Never In the history of Wa terbury politics was the result of q nominating convention so accurately predicted as was the Democratic probate convention of last evening by Edward J. Ryan, political commentator for station WATR and political columnist for the Waterbury Democrat.
 The convention until Ryan's broadcast was anybody's. Not one person in the city professed to have the "inside" yet at 6:SO Ryan began his political com- mentary in which he made mention of the number of votes the various candidates would receive on the first ballot and then went on to predict that Patrick Healey would be select- ed as the party's nominee for Judge of Probate.
 He said that Healey would re- ceive IS votes on the first bal- lot. Healey received 15. He said that Judge Edward Mascolo would receive six votes on the first ballot and Mascolo was given exactly six. He said that John McLinden would poll eight votes. McLinden boiled exactly eight votes, then Ryan went on to say that McLinden's strength would increase with each ballot. It did.
 Delegates and candidates at last evenings session expressed amazement at the accuracy of Ryan's prediction. And so did the people on the street today.

Congressman J. Joseph Smith to- day announced presidential approv- al of a WPA allotment of $s,612.0O, which may be used in connection with a plan for inventory of muni- cipal property long urged by Con. troller Sherwood L. Rowland.

convinced that Germany might act at any moment-and suspicious that Great Britain was deliberately de- ferring to Germany-was pressing the British government for a dra- matic move which would inform the world that she would march with France if Czechoslovakia were at- tackled.
 The possibility that the govern rrent in desperation might do this, was not ruled out. But it refused still to give up hope. A decision to give Germany an unmistakable warning had been postponed, day after day, in fear that a mere warn- ing might anger Hitler and impel him to action rather than deter him
