Local Chairman Seeking Presidency Jury
 Developments May Sound Knell of Hopes

publican stalwarts as Maj. John Buckley of Union; Charles E. Will liamson, of Darien; Harry E. Mac kenzie of Bethel.
 It is the calling of MT. Macken- zie, acknowledged holder of many town chairman's votes throughout rural Connecticut, that will become the bludgeon striking down Water bury's candidate when he seeks to lead the Young Republicans. Be- cause MT. Mackenzie, for some time, has been allied with the Fairfield county faction of J. Kenneth Brad ley, former national Young Repub- lican president, and Samuel F Pryor, Jr., national committeeman.
 Both MT. Pape and MT. Upson are reported as probable witnesses be- fore the Waterbury grand jury, the former having returned recently from Florida for the alleged pur- pose of being subject to such sum- mons. Whether Hugh M. Alcorn, Sr., the special prosecutor, will re- quire their presence is matter of conjecture because the Waterbury Publisher and the Republican town chairman were instrumental in the earlier procedure of the grand jury and are reported to have fur nished information regarding the personnel presently involved in the investigation.
 Chairman Upson, at odds with "Boss" Williamson, who was smear ed" by Publisher Pape with accusa- ton that he had received various fees from the city for lobbying. The story is that the feud between them is of long duration.
 Man Of The People
 Another reason why Chairman Upson is unlikely to attain the pres idency of the state Young Repub- licanS is the announcement yes terday, apparently pointed at the Waterbury Republican, in which the Fairfield county Young Republi- cans required" that the head of the party's ticket "be known to the state essentially as a man Of the people," While this resolution was drawn for later consumption, still it may be regarded as indicative of the new stand taken by the Young Republicans, one which finds them ready to resist the possible attempt of some factions to commit the Re- publican party to the support of Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge port.
 Post Mentioned
 Report on further Waterbury candidates for office at the conven- ton makes prominent the name of Harry c. Post for the post of vice. president. MT. Post, one of the movers in Waterbury for the Git izens Good Government association, Inc, now appears to have re-entered politics in an active sense and this points the contention of various ob- servers that the Good Government association, with it's division into political voting districts for a mem bership campaign, is being sought as a campaign asset by the Repub- licans this fall.
