Pity the Horse! Police Seize Animal
 When Men Battle Over Ownership

Harry Newman, 78 years old, of 8 Hawkins street, was so sick that he had to go to the hospital.
 But Harry had horse, not a valuable horse, but a good horse to Harry, and a friend through the years.
 Harry didn't want his horse to go to the dogs so he looked around before leaving for the hospital, and found that Phil Smith, 66 years old, of 85 Locust street, would give his horse a home, feed him, and care for him. So Harry went to the hos pital, his worries eased.
 This happened several months ago.
 But Harry, it seems, wasn't as sick as he believed, and he was discharged last week.
 The first thing Harry thought of was his horse, which he be- lieved Phil would return to him.
 But Phil, had grown fond of the horse, and refused to give him back. There was an argu- ment, but Phil stuck to his claim that the horse was now legally his.
 Yesterday, on Bishop street, a large crowd collected around two old men and a horse. The men were shouting and waving their fists, while the horse stood si- lently by.
 So violent grew the quarrel, that Officer Henry Hayes had to step in and arrest the two old men. The officer then rode the aging horse to headquarters.
 Prosecuting Attorney William K. Lawlor refused to prosecute the two men today. MT. Lawlor said the case was by right a civil matter. But it takes some time to get civil action going. Ob- servers wondered how long Harry can stay without his horse.

other half from among packers of Attorney Michael V. Blansfield, his organization-endorsed opponent.
 In the 18th senatorial district, which takes in the first, second and third wards, there are 21 voting dis tricts, and a moderator must be appointed for each one. Under Democratic party rules, the moder- ator in each district has complete charge of the voting there. He has authority to refuse ballots and to rule on eligibility of voters.
 The primary voting this year is to be by districts, rather than wards, and Senator Culhane's contention is that he should be allowed to recom- mend half of those chosen to off, ciate during the primary balloting.
 Senator Culhane is seeking nomi- nation for the fourth time, having been elected after his three previous nominations. His opponent, Attorney Michael Blansfield has been endors- ed by Mayor Vincent A. Scully and the Democratic town committee.
 The candidates must, on Saturday of this week, file lists of delegates on their tickets and post deposits Of $25 each with the town committee.

Members of the Republican state central committee gathered at Hart ford this afternoon for meeting that might well decide the fate of the bid of Paul Cornell for the nomination for U. s. Senator.

 Democratic candidates for state office were marking time, awaiting the Republican state convention at New Haven the 17th and 18th be- fore taking up the cudgels. Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hur- ley, the Democratic nominee for governor, set the keynote Saturday when he said that actual start of the campaign would await the nomination of Republican candi- dates. But when the campaign does start, he said, he will be ready with simple, two-cent words" to bring the issues before the people.
 Litchfield County members of the G. o. P. state central committee, who have led the drive to win Cor nell the nomination, said they were ready to ask at the meeting today that Harwood put his cards on the table,"
