 The blaze started in the attic or on the roof, according to Fire Mar shal Den Lahey and his aide, Lieut.. Eugene A. Legge, and made great headway before firemen arrived at the scene. The flames, which were shooting along the upper sides of the structure when four companies from headquarters.

The Alcorns! Kin of Special Prose- cutor Looms Prom inently on States
 Politic al
 Horizon.
(Suecial to The Demorcat)

Especial to The DemOrcat)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May 13 - Should Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan of Orange retire from the state superior court bench to accept a post as judge of the U. s. district court, Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin is expected to nominate as his successor Attor- ney Howard w. Alcorn, of Suft1eld. MT. Alcorn is at present judge of the Suffield town court.
 Such nomination would make another plum for the Alcorn family, long prominent in Repub- lican state politics. Hugh M. AL corn, ST., father of Attorney AL corn, is states attorney for Hart ford county and is also serving as special states cttorney at Wa terbury. Hugh M. Alcora, Jr, is assistant states attorney at Hartford, assistant special states attorney ata Waterbury, and ma jority leader of the state house of representatives. Another son of States Attorney Alcorn is sec retary to Congressman William Miller of Hartford. A brother of MT. Alcorn, ST., Robert Alcorn, is U. s. commissioner at New Haven.
 Reports from Washington state that Judge O'Sulilvan originally declined the nomination to the federal bench, but that Attorney General Frank Murphy has asked him to reconsider.
 The federal court vacancy is the result of the resignation of Judge Edwin s. Thomas, who is now ill in a Hartford hospital Judge Thomas last winter was called back from Panama to face a federal grand jury for question ing.
 It has been generally under stood here that the next vacancy on the superior court bench is to go to Howard Alcorn. Unless it were an interim appointment, however, the nomination might cause some criticism, if not op- position, in the General Assembly.
 Several times during the pres ent legislative session the Alcorn family has come in for criticism on the basis of its jobholding. On one occasion the Alcorns were re- ferred to as the royal family of patronage" in the state.
