this Week. He is Clarence liing of
Silvermlne. who if; secretary of the
conference. He is also secretary of
the Community Chest of Bridgeport.
Mr. King, who is known as "Smil-
ing Jim," is a. graduate of \Visconsin
university and Col bia law school.
Following his gra uutlon he prac-
tlced law in New York city, where
he was a. member‘ of the firm of
Cushing and Cushlng. lie was also
counsel for the Municipal Bureau
of Research in New York city and

ment of Accounts.
+ During the war he became asso-
ciated with the Red Cross. directing

later appointed assistant director of
the Atlantic division of the organ-
ization. which post. he held until he
became director of the Child Health
Demonstration .of the. Natl l
Child Health Council. On Jun 4.
1921. he resigned this position. He
had been conducting n campaign in
an endeavor to have staged in Nor-
walk. the Child Ilvnltli Demonstra-
tion. Ills resignation followed the
notification from Dr. Richard A.
Bolt of Baltimore. chairman of the
committee of snlcction of cities.
that. Norwalk had bcrn eliminated
as a. contender for the honor of
holding the demonstration.
In tendering his resignation Mr.
King said that a point of honor
made it imperative that he do so.
He said that. he did not. feel that
the committee on selection of cities
had acted fairly toward the cities of
the East in allowing them to com-
pole for a chance for the demonstra-
tion when all the time it had been
the intention of the committee to
locate the demonstration in a. middle
western city.
Dr. John Black. state healtlr di-
rector. said lhat “politics" was the
cause for Norwalk elimination.
After severing his connection
with the National Child Health
Council, Mr. King became secretary
of the Community Chest of Bridge-
po'rt and he has been a. very busy
man in the Park City.

All-3W HAVEN. May 8.——An at-
tempt to stampede the Democratic
State Convention in favor of Gov-
ernor Alfred E. Smith of New York
through a.’ rcsolutiOn offered by
George P. Fitch of Hamden. provid-
ing for’ the instructions'of' the Con-
necticut delegation for the New
York governor. failed here this
morning through the adoption of an
amended rewlution, offere'd by Ma-
yor David E. Fitzgerald of New
Haven. by which the delegates from
this State are to be unlnstructed.
Fitch threw the convention into
an uproar.shortly after the opening
of the day‘s session by attempting
to gain the floor to introduce an un-
named resolution. He forced an aye
and no vote. which won him the
right to the floor, but before he
could be heard. Homer S. Cummings
of Stamford had moved adjourn-
merit.
Hectic Scenes.
-TV‘lld scones followed the loss of
Mr. Cumming’s motion, and the in-
troduction of Governor Smith's
name into the convention. Quiet
was restored and adjournment
achieved. only after the introduction
and adoption of the following
amended resolution by Mayor Fitz-
gerald:
"That it is the sense of Macon-
vcntion that the delegates to the
National Convention go uninstructcd
as we rely upon them to act and
vote in such a manner as shall in
their judgment be for the best. in-
terest: of the Democratic party.”
Aside from a. protest. entered by
Milford delegates, against the elec-
tion of Arthur B. O’Keefe of New
Haven. 3. State Central Cummitteo-
man from the 14th Senatorial Dis-
trict. harmony prevailed during the
remainder of the session. With
hardly a dissenting vote. the ten
district delegates elected at District
caucuses last night. and the ten
delegates at large endorsed at. the
same time. were confirmed without,
delay. ‘
Ovation for Thoma,
Many at the convention saw in
the continued ovation given to Wil-
liam E. Thoms of Waterbury. upon
his confirmation as delegate at large.
a forerunner of tho iatter’s attempt
to gain the Democratic nomination
for governor at. the next election.
Immediately following the adjourn-
ment of' the convention, tho new
State Central Committee met on the
platform. Prior to organization, the
matter of tho O'Keefe protest 'was
laid Ion the table for lack of juris-
diction. Following a. heated defense
of O'Keefo by Mayor Fitzgeer of
New Haven. in which he branded
the actions of those protesting as
"vile," despite an attempt in certain
quarters to have the election of a
new chairman of the State Central
Committee indefinitely postponed.
Edward M. Yoemans of Andovor was
unanimously rte-elected. "i
The following officers were also
re-ebcted: Vice Chairman. Mrs.

Fight Starts Over Delegation.
The fight over delegates in th.‘
Fourth District opened‘at the dis-
trict caucus last night when the
