TITLE CLEARANCE
 { DENIED BY JUDGE
Downes Street Property
 Involved in Transaction I Without Approval

Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell today refused to clear title to Downes street property which Trebly and. May Tardy of Water bury sold to purchaser after first acquiring 1t without authority from the probate court. The jurist ruled in his memorandum of decision that the plaintiff was not proper party to maintain the title clearance ac- ton. but, if he were, he would not be entitled to the relief sought.
 The plaintiffs in their complaint pointed out the premises were ac- Quired by Anna Marcella, of parts unknown to them. from Walter Mickiewicz, a minor, and his mother, Kiteryn Michiewicz, both of whose whereabouts are unknown to the petitioners. In 1884 the new owner conveyed the property to them and 1 n1937 they sold 1t to Jose Silva of Waterbury, the pres ent owner, the plaintiffs claimed.
 After the last conveyance the plaintiffs learned that the original owners, the mother and son, had not obtained Q required order from the probate court to convey the prop erty to the Marcella woman. They asked the superior court to order the pRohate court to correct its rec 0rdS to show the conveyance and to settle titel to the property. They also pointed out that the present owner, Mrs. Silva, has indicated he would take action against them, and they ask the court to prevent the owner from taking such action.
 A 13-page memorandum, contairl- ing scores of citations, was written by the jurist on his ruling dismiss. ing the cause.

Edward M. Ryan of this city chcairnian of the Publicity Commit tee of the Young Republican party and author and sporsor of the ori. ginnl resolution which placed the local Young Republican party and the powerful New Haven Young Re- publican organization on record to officially adopt Ryan's resolution to support Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York for the Republican presidential nomination said today that he is notifying the Connecticut delegation to the National Republi- can convention that their decision to cast their l6 votes for Gov. Dewey on the first ballot has met with the quick and unanimous ap- proval of the people of this section.
 said MT. Ryan, T am happy to think that the first boom for the candidacy of Gov.

Dewey for the Republican nomination for President of the United States"

organization are to be congratu- lated for their foresight in the early realization that Gov. Dewey was the right man for the Republican party to nominate. The Waterbury club was the first club in the entire United States to go on record for Gov. Dewey, the state convention of the Young Republican party was the first such state organization to adopt similar resolution.
 I know that every member of the clubs who actually aided me in gaining support of my Dewey reso- lution realize today that the course they followed was the correct one, correct for the Republican party and correct for the United States of America.
 There is no question now that the next president of the United States will be the Republican can- didate, Thomas E. Dewey, the man of the choice of the Connecticut and particularly the Waterbury Young Republicans"
