Ends Long Conflict in Ranks of Democrats;
 Special Election Due

The nomination of cnr resenaIl J. Joseph Smith for ". IS. District Judge in Connecticut was sent to the Senate today by President Roose- welt, the United Press reported from Washington, D. o. Speedy confirm ation of the nomination, which will fll a vacancy existing since. Judge Edwin g. Thomas resigned two and q halS years ago, is predicted.
 A special election to fill the fifth district congressional seat to which Congressman Smith was elected five times will be required. Under the law, the date will be fixed by Gov. Robert A. Hurley.
 The nomination ends long con- fiict within the Democratic party of Connecticut Shortly after Judge Thomas resigned, Congressman Smith was slated to pc named to succeed him, having the approval of U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney. However, David '. FitzGerald, of New Haven, Democratic national committeeman, opposed the Smith appointment and the name of his son, Attorney John c. FitzGerald, was advanced for the appoin tlnent. Party Split Starts <
 A party split ensued, with Sena- tor Maloney and J. Francis Smith, brother of the congressman and then Democratic state chairman, leading one wing, and Mir. FitzGerald lead ing another faction. The split con- tinued through the l040 state con- vention, when the Smith-Malorey group iinSucceSsfully backed ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross in his fight against Robert A. Hurley for the guberna- torial nomination.
 Meantime other candidates had entered the race as the judgeship remained vacant. Finally the way for the appointment of Congressman Smith was cleared during the clos ing days of the 1o4l General As- sembly when Gov. Hurley,s nomina- ton of John O..

 London, oct. l6.-(Up)-A fresh wave of pessimism swept British military quarters today as advices reported that Adolf Hitler was driv- ing on Moscow with the greatest army ever concentrated against Q single objective, and that his arnor- cd spearheads were hardly more than 50 miles from the capital. So serious was the situation re- garded here that military experts suggested that Josef Stalin and the Russian command might soon be faced with the question whether to maintain the battle line before Moscow or to withdraw fighting which would mean the destruction of the ancient capital-and make Q stand on more favorable ground to the east.
 Authoritative informants said the Germans appeared not to have made any big advances in the last 24 hours, though very heavy fight ing continued.
 They added, however, that 1t was possible the Germans had made some advances in the Kalinin sec- tor to the northwest of Moscow and the Kaluga sector to the southwest. Mt appears probable that the bat tie west of Moscow has now reached the crisis" an informant said. Naxl Claims Upheld

 The resignation of the cabinet of Japanese Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye and suggestions that Q pro- axis military government would take power in Tokyo to strike at Siberia if Russia falls to halt the Germans coincided with reports that diplomats and part of the So- viet government had left Moscow because of the threat of encircle- ment by Nazi pincer operations.
 Radio broadcastS by the Moscow station described the danger to the capital as great after Q Nazl tank break through from the west but told of stern resistance by the still unbroken Red army, aided by civil- fans.
 Press dispatches direct from Mos- COW were sporadic or entirely diS- rupted for periods Wednesday night and Thursday, indicating the grav- ity of the situation in the Soviet capital, but the ofiicial radio contin- ued to broadcast generalized reports from the war front.
 Berlin dispatches also were vague but indicated that the Nazi mechan- ized vanguard was within perhaps 50 miles of Moscow, having gained another 10 miles in bloody fighting, and some German sources sought to convey the impression to foreign correspondents that the capital ai- ready was encircled.
 BOmbshelI Is Coming
 A "botnbshell" announcement to be made soon by the German high command will show that there is no longer any question of evacua- ton from Moscow, these sources claimed, without citing any infor- nation that might support their statements.
 The governmental crisis in Japan remained to be clarified, but 1t ob- viously was encouraged by the Ger man offensive against Moscow and it brought Tokyo closer to a decision on whether to defy the warnings of the United States and Great Bri-
