With caucuses scheduled for to-

tical season in Norwalk is booming.

politics today concerns the Repub—

The present state senator from
this district is John H. B‘bhre of
New Canaan. It is understood he
Will not be renomlnated to the office
he now holds at the senatorial con-
vention this year. Probable succes-
sors to the office are either Judge
Candce. who was formerly Stats
senator. or Frank Gregory, present
State representative. W’hen the sen-
ventlon was held two years ago. the
Davis faction was in control of local
Republican ranks. This faction
handed Mr. Behre the nomination.
A year ago, however, the Davis fac-
tion. to a more or less extent. lost
control with the result that the re-
nominatlon of Mr. Behre is not con-
sidered probable.
The Republican caucuses will be
held tpnlght. The caucuses are slut-
ed to be called to ‘brder at eight
o‘clock to elect delegates to the city
convention which will be held tomor-

State officers will be nominated, and

Statewide Caucuses.
NEW HAVEN. Aug. 7.—-Stnte-
wide caucuses in all towns will to-
night pick the delegates to the Re-
publican State convention to be held
in this city September 9 and 10.
while in the principal cities district
or ward delegates to the city con-
ventions in which the delegates will
be named. will be chosen.
In most of the towns and life ma-
jority of the cities the selection of
delegates has little general signifi-
cance here being no statewide con.
tests for the nominations for state
officers.
The chief contests. which will be
watched with interest are those in
this city and Bridgeport where op-
posing psrty factions are striving for
control.
In this city the elements opposed
to the party organization headed by
Col. Isaac M. Ullmsn will make a
determined effort to wrest control
of the party here from the organica-
tlon. The contest is a continuance
of one fought some months ago when
the antl-organlmtion faction claimed
a victory at the time of the selection
of delegates to the spring state can-
vention of the party. At this time
organization forces claimed‘ that
word leaders ,were caught napping
and prepared for the struggle which
will have its culmination tonight.
Willard the Lesdcr.
The so~callcd reorganization forces
are led by Clarence G. Willard. as-
sistant secretary of the Republican
Sate Central Committee and an ad-
herent of State Chairman J. Henry
Roraback. Among those promfncnt
in the contest for the overthrow of
the organization in addition to Mr.
Willard are Ex-Gov. Rollin 8. Wood-
ruff. former noun-Governor Dennis
A. Blake-lee and J. Frederick Baker,
clerk of the state senate.
Under the new rule of the party
adopted at the last. stats convention
the 'aeréate’i'to the raunchy-onus?
will be picked in senatorial district
conventions. rather than in a general
city conventio so that there is a»
likelihood tbs. the delegation from
the city to the state convention my.

trade with his father to get enough
money to enter college. He first be-
came a student at Holy Cross Col-
lege at Worcester in February. 1876,
’and by working whenever oppor-
tunity offered through his college
days he was able to meet the ex-
pense of his course and was gradu-
ated with the _Bachelor of Arts do-
groe in 1878. He next became a
student in the Grand Seminary at
Montreal, Canada. and was ordained
to the priesthood by Archbishop
Fabre on the 23rd of December, in
1882.
His first assignment was to St.
Derby. Connecticut. in 1883. at
which time the church was just be-
ing built. In 1885 he became as-
sista‘nt of St. Peter‘s church in Dan-
‘bury and on the alst'of May. 1889.
he removed to Bridgeport to or-
ganise St. Patrick‘s parish.
Rev. Nihlll held services in the
Grand street school from the 21st of
May. 1389, until December. 1900.
Later he secured 9. part of the Eli
Thompson estate on North avenue.

streets. and on that site erected St.
Patrick‘s church. beginning the
work early In 1890. the cornerstone
being laid in August and the base-
ment finished in December of that
year. The church was finally com-
pleted in 1911.
To St. Augustine-
Famer Nihill continued as p38-
tor there until August 1, 1915, when
he became pastor of St. Augustine 5
church in “'ashington avenue. suc-
ceeding the late Father McEdroy.
St. Patrick's church *is on horth
avenue, a block from Main street,
and rather Niall! became much in-
tepested tn the project of Widening
Main street, which at thnt time was
a. very narrow thoroughfatrc. extend-
ing from Bulls Head north. Although
the project was a strenuous one he
eventually succeeded in making the
undertaking a success. It was also
through his efforts that St. ’\ lncent 5
hospital. a Catholic institution. was
1 cated in Bridgeport although oth-
er cities were trying hard to secure
it. The hospital has between four
and five hundred beds and is the
best constructed hospital in bet.
England: It is so thoroughly fire-
proof tbst they have no fire in-
surance upon it and it is equipped
with every modern equipment.
He was appointed by Governor
Woadruff a member of the board to
consider the advimbllity of estab-
lishing tuberculosis institutions. The
text of their report was accepted
by the legislature and four such in-
stitutions were established in the
state. To Father Nibill's efforts
more than any other individual can
be credited the enactment of the law
that is now on the statutes relat-
ing to the can of dependent chil-
dren. About. twenty-five yesrs ago
his attention was called to the pro.
dicsmcnt of an unfortunate mother
two children in public charge. Their
care. according to the than existing
law. was placed in the hands of the
county commissioners and their
custom was to place them tempor-
arily in reputable homes. but
the parents were
their children. One child was thus
placed and the mother lster was in
position to care for her child but.
it being still under the Jurisdiction
of the county commimioners she
was. according to custom. denied
the privilege of seeing her child.
Appealing to rather Nlhlll. be real-
ised the inhumanity of the law and
began to fight. aimed single-handed
to repeal the law and replace . it
with the one now ‘emnt whateby
