The New York primaries take
place \ week from today, when
delegates to the Democratic and
Republican State Conventions
will be chosen and also the party
candidates for the House of Rep
resentatives. With a terrific row
in sight for the Democratic State
Convention over the nomination
for Governor, and the race Of
Representative Fish for renomi-
nation In the Republican primary
to be decided, the interest in the
primary goes beyond State lines.
After the delegates to the
Democratic State Convention are
selected there may be = more
definite capitalization of lines
between the Farley Bennett
ticket on the one hand and the
Roosevelt Lehman Mead ticket
on the other. Mr.. Farley con-
tinues to insist that the Bennett
for-Governor forces are holding
firm and that his candidate will
be nominated. On the other
hand. the weight of the presi-
Dental influence, backed up by
that Of Gov. Lehman, of Ma
tional Chairman Flynn and
of Tammany Leader Kennedy,
would appear to be unbeatable
when the showdown comes.
II, however, the Bennett forces
do stand Arm, and there is every
evidence of 4 bitter battle at the
convention. there may come sug-
gestions of compromise. One
OF them is that Mr.. Farley him.
self might become the candidate,
with Senator Mead withdrawing
as well as Attorney General Ben
nett. That suggestion does not
conform at all with the general
opinion that President Roosevelt
would be ~ strongly opposed to
having Mr.. Farley as = candidate
for Governor ~ he Il to having
Mr.. Farley's candidate, Mr.. Ben
nett, nominated by the conven-
ton.
Farley's Future 1T Stake.
The political future of Mr.. Far
ley Is bound up with the outcome
OF the fight over the subernatorial
nomination. At present and for
many years. Mr.. Farley has been
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee. He held on to that
ONCE even after he had resigned
the chairmanship Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, which
he did after his split with the
President over the third term
issue in 1910. It Is inconceivable.
however, he would remain Is
chairman If Senator Mead Is
nominated for Governor. Having
said that Senator Mead would
make = terrible Governor" II
elected, Mr.. Farley could not with
good grace run Senator Mead's
campaign for election. Nor would
he. II Mr.. Farley steps out OF
the chairmanship under those
conditions, . new chairman salts
factory to the administration and
to Senator Mead undoubtedly will
be named.
The Republican State Cof1ven- -
ton, which Il to meet in Sara
toga August "A and Is, will nomi-
nate Thomas E. Dewey for Gov
ernor. That seems Is sure as
anything can be in the world OF

KILLER MAX FOX
 IS WELL PLEASED
Reioices Today Over Death of Two Enemies; He Is
 Facing Chair

New York, Aug. 4-(UP)--Max Fox rejoiced today, although he was charged with two murders and had signed the sort of confession that leads quickly to the electric chair.
 He had confessed, faster than the police stenographer could take it down, that it was he who invaded the White House Bridge association early yesterday and shot Robert c. Greene 40, and Morris (Dimples) Wolenski, 54.
 When Fox, 48, was New York's bi ggest betting commissioner Greene was his partner. WolenSki, once was a torpedo" or gunman in the notorious Louis GepkD Buchal- ter gang.
 Fox charged that Greene had cheated him out of $300,000 on the 194O presidential election and the public out of $400,000 more in bets. Carrying on since then, with his office fin his hat, and Dutch Gold berg, one of the few living barons of prohibition. supporting his wife and three children, Fox had been obsessed with 8 yearning for re- venge.
 "Now that it's over, I've never felt better in my life," he said last night as police took him to a cell For a year, they've made my life miserable"
 Police began looking for Fox yes- terday shortly after Greene and Wolenski were shot. He met detec- tives by appointment yesterday.

Tentative plans for courier service are being held in abeyance until more explicit orders on the flying ban are received and over- lures have already been made which may lead to reopening of the local airport, with courier service for Wa terbury factories needing such emergency facility an early result.

HALT DELIVERIES
 OF FUEL OIL HERE
Seriousness of Situation Impressed Upon Water
 burians By New Orders

Halting of fuel oil deliveries brought home today to many house. holders and business men an abrupt realization of the seriousness of the petroleum situation. Deliveries were ordered, halted, effective yesterday, until September 15.
 Though local dealers said that clarification of the delivery ban was awaited, they agreed that there was no question about the seriousness of the order. The ban hits only heavy fuel oil used in furnaces but also the lighter range oil, used in kitchen stoves, portable heaters, etc.
 Several dozen operators of small oil businesses face an enforced va cation until September IS. Most of those in this group operate with just one truck, some of them selling ice, wood or coal, in addition to oil.
 Dealers believe that fuel oil will be sold only on a rationed basis dur ing the Fall and Winter.
 The ban on deliveries of oil till September 15 is said to be for the purpose of building up & big reserve supply that will be available for the start of cold weather.
 The number of oil burning fur naces being converted to coal is in- creasing daily. Numerous orders were placed after the halt of oil deliveries was announced.

 Equipment Damaged
 The fire followed up through the airshaft of a conveyor formerly used for beer barrels, burning the wood work. but failing to break through the roof. Some of MT. Wedemeyer's welding equipment was damaged by fire also. Lieutenant Legge said 1t was natural for the smell of smoke to be disregarded for a class of welders had been working in the building until a very short time before MT. Wedemeyer left.
 While the building, which is owned by Mrs. Ellen E. Hayes, mother of former Mayor Hayes, is covered by insurance, there was no insurance on the contents.
 The building, formerly occupied by the Eagle Brewing Co.,, later was taken over by The Waterbury Brew Ing Co. and then The Eastern Brewing Company, formerly con- ducted by Daniel J. Leary.
 A valuable hunting dog, kept in the building as watchdog, was suf- located by the smoke. Lieut.. Legge said that the dog was always kept in the building nights and was a good watchdog.
 Telephone Alarm
 A passerby telephoned Dispatcher John McWeeney at the police radio signal room at 10:15 p. m. with the first report of the fire. Officer Me- Weeney notified fire headquarters and Engne 3.
