Rockville School Controversy May be Settled Sept
Hurley Claims Candidacy Of Cross TooLat
Would Have Supported Him If He Came Out
 Three Months Ago
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Political Reporter)

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 Democrat Political Reporter)
 New Haven, August 24. If I'd known even two ol three months ago that Cross was going to run I'd be here tonight ready to cheer him instead of looking for support for myself" Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley said last night in an exclusive interview.
 Had I known that he was going to seek the nomination I wouldn't have listened to talk that should go into the race" said Commissioner Hurley, "but his announcement that he was seeking renomination came only after I had received pledges of delegate support from many towns. No one likes Wilbur Gross more than I do; no one admires him more than do; no one knows bet ter than do how much he has done for the Democratic party and for the State of Connecticut. But l was told that he had no plan to run again; 60 here am."
 The interview took place in a small room at Hurley headquar- ters. Just few feet away, there were cheers for Hurley and de- mandS that he show himself.
 The Democrats reporter asked: "JuSt what would you do if it ap- peared that there was a strong sen- timent for a ticket having Cross for governor and Hurley for lieutenant governor?"
 The broad-shouldered Hurley, pac- ing up and down the small room as if to work of excess energy, paused moment and said:
 Its too late. Your paper can tell its readers for me that it's too late. The thing has gone too far now, and I'm in this fight to finish, and I think I'll win"
 The reporter asked, "Then there's no chance of compromise ticket?'
 Hurley stopped his pacing for minute, then said firmly: "Therell be no compromise, none at all.'
 Delegates and hangers-on were banging at the door of the hotel room by this time, and the reporter asked quickly. Don't you think that this battle is becoming so bit ter that it's hurting the Democrats chances of winning the state this fall?"
 That's more than I know" shrugged Hurley. "It may be SO! it may be not. My belief is that the state campaign will be 50 tied up with the national campaign that there won't be much difference, and I believe that the Democratic state ticket, whatever it's makeup is, will carry the state under Roosevelt. He's grand man, that Roosevelt, and a marvellous President"
 There was banging on the door now and calls of, we want Hur- ley"
 He said, apologetically, T guess I'll have to leave you now. Just make sure you tell them that I'm a Cross man and wouldn't be here to- night if he'd told us he was going to run again."
 "Okay," said the reporter as Hur- ley turned the knob.
 Be sure," said Hurley, and he was gone.

 "Waterbury's Friendly Department Store"
"WhistIing"

We heard a shrill, off-key whistling, looked up, and there they were, the three of them, young men of America, heading for place to swim, apparently. Each one had towel and what was his idea of bathing suit, securely tied to the end of piece of rope and the whole business was being twirled around and around. Happy, carefree, their apparel ranged anywhere from a rainbow-hued, short sleeved jersey and shorts to a pair of over alls, held up by one strap. The world was theirs and it wasn't the one we know. Theirs wasn't troubled. Lucky young sters? No, lucky us. We had problems and were so intent on trying to find an answer that we were missing much as we walked along - at least, until we saw these disciples of happiness. They started us to thinking, "Say, maybe this problem of ours isn't going to decide the future of the world after all'. And before we knew it we were whistling, too, and I'll bet little off-key at that.
