Naugatuck, April 3 - With the Democratic caucuses only Q day away, activity among the various candidates Is reaching Q climax. Each candidate is busy lining up as much support as possible. 1ndica- tions are the contests in all wards will not prove walk-away for any of the candidates for burgess.
 It Is known Burgess George Fel- lows and Selectman Creslo (Gus) Klimaszewski will be candidates. Observers admit 1t Is speculation now as to the result there.
 The second ward will see Burgess Thomas Broder opposed to Andrew O'Toole, who is reported to have the support of the strong Brophy group. MT. Broder states he has fine support himself and believes his chances of victory are good. A big turnout for this caucus Is ex- pected.
 There is much speculation as to the strength of the James Farren delegation in the first ward. Bur- gess Joseph Dinneny heads the op. position with Arthur Brazil being the candidate for burgess of the Farren group.
 MT. Brazil Is known to be popular in the first ward and although he will be bucking a unified group which has been victorious many times in the past seven years, some believe he will make a strong bid for victory. If the Dinneny group is successful, 1t will support Peter P. Meegan for warden, 1t has an- nounced.
 It is expected the first ward eau. GUS will be in the Gem theater; the second ward caucus in Goodyear hall, Odd Tellows' building, and the third ward caucus in Raytkwichb hall, Bridge street. All are sched. uled to start at 8:30 but the first ward caucus may be delayed some- what because of the mems mission at St. Francis church.
