Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin left Connecticut yesterday afternoon to visit Vermont where a special con- ference of New England governors will take place. Because of this move, it appears evident that the bll restoring forfeited rights Go Harr1 B.

 Several days ago the Democrat mentioned the fact that he would not sign it, inasmuch as ho made e public statement to the effect that he was opposed to it," However, the governor never did say that hc would veto 1t. If the governor were to veto the bill, 1t would only require Q majority vote of the gen. eral assembly to eradicate the veto.
 Mackenzie sustained injuries from an automobile accident that occurred recently close to his home, He was charged with having Rccepts ed S5e,a 400 from the city of Water bury for lobbying services and to have "buttered tho bread of city ofIlclalS in Waterbury with $2o,200 of that amount,
 The House yesterday passed tho hill which provides that Fireman Bartholomew Buckley receive from the City of Waterbury full pen. sion of $2,0o0 per year.
 The Senate yesterday adopted a city pension bill which states . similar provision for Fireman JohI, J. Corcoran. The Senate will vote on the Buckley bill next week and the House will vote on the Corcoran bill.
 The Buckley pension bill was ops posed by Mayor John s. Monagan and other officials of the City of Waterbury, however, no objection waS entered against the Corcoran bill which states that the city shall pay future medical and hospital bills.
