GORDON PREDICTS.
 LAWLOR VICTORY
Former Senator POpularly Supported in 10th Dis-
 trict Says Club Pres.

A prediction that Senator Joseph H. Lawlor would carry both the fourth and fifth wards in this even- ing's Democratic senatorial primary was made today by John J. Gordon, president of the Lawlor- for Senator club. The two wards make up the 16th senatorial district, in which Senator Lawlor is taking part in a three-sided fight.
 From every bit of information available to us at Lawlor headquar- ters," MT. Gordon said, "it appears that Senator Lawlor will win in both wards by comfortable margins, All through the campaign assur- ances of support have poured into us; we are grateful for all of them. !"
 MT. Gordon continued in his state ment:
 '"The nomination of Senator Law Tor will be g. tribute to the good judgment of the Democratic voters of the traditionally Democratic 16th district. It will be a tribute to his record as liberal and progressive legislator, to his experience in the upper house and to the many out standing qualities that have won him so many friends and support erS."
 Our volunteer organization has been functioning splendidly. I be- lieve that in spirit and in numbers it will surpass any other organiza- ton taking part in the primary contests in the city. Many people who have no desire for political fa- vors have offered their services to our cause, anxious only to aid in the nomination of Joe Lawlor. We are proud of our workers; we are proud of the high esteem in which they hold our candidate, for we realize that it was their admiration for Senator Lawlor and their con- viction that the Democratic party

Delesio, 19, also of this city ar raigned on a similar charge was given an indeterminate sentence at the reformatory and a third youth, John Strakauskas, 19, first of- fender, arrested with the above two was placed on probation.
 Exacting Chase
 DelGobbo was involved in two of the city's most exciting automobile chaseS in years. Last August he led Motor Patrolman Raymond Grady an eight mile chase through the streets of the city during the course of which the officer fired five shots.
 The second chase, which happened a short time after the first one started at Union street and was one of about three miles with Patrolman Joseph Tierney doing the chasing in 8 communicated car.
 Judge Baldwin gave Lester Gre nier 20, of 624 South Main street and Edward Hallock, IS, of 262 South Main street, one of the worst verbal 'lacings" heard administered in the local Superior Court in long time when the youths appeared before him on charge of indecent assault. A 20 year old Naugautck girl is al- legged to have been involved.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald recommended that the youths oe given suspended reformatory sentences. Judge Baldwin hesitated for a minute and then said that there should be whipping post ill front of the courthouse and that the two youths should be taken out and whipped as well as others who commit the same sort of crime with which Grenier and Hallock stood accused.
 He referred to the acts of the two youths "cowardly and yellow and said they were disgrace to themselves and the male sex.
 After deliberating further the jurist finally said he would accept the recommendations of the state's attorney but that he did so with misgivings.
 Arnold La Grange, 33, and Stella Lubinski, 34, were placed on proba- ton when arraigned on charges of adultery. Judge Baldwin im- posed a six months jail sentence in each case and then placed the pair on probation. The woman involved is the mother of seven children.

time required by law-some of

months late-and during the same

not made to the County Treasurer
for almost a year afterwards. For

did not pay to the County Treas

the fees collected by him during
that period. There were two 9th
