HARTFOELD. Sept. ch—The ap-
pointment by President Coolidge yes-
terday of John Buckley to be United
States attorney for the district of
Connecticut releases two situations
of peculiar interest, particularly in
the affairs ,of the Republican party
of the state.
the appoint-
ment. which came at a time when
it was not expected. although Buck-
ley had been recommended by Sen-
ator Brandegee and Senator McLean
some time ago, means that one of
the leading cogs in the Republican
State organization, will have the
talk of prosecuting for embezzle-
meat of at least $455,000 of the
funds of the Putnam National bank.
0. Harold Giipatric. who was an-
other important factor in the state
organization. and who was regarded
as representing the sunshine of or-
ganization in Windham county.
In the second place, the entering
by Buckley at once upon the duties
of the United States attorney's office
means that .the General Assembly of
41925. and particularly the House of
Representatives. will have to organ-
ize around a new central figure. For
the requirements of his federal
position will be such that the. “gen—
tleman from I'nion" probably will
have no opportunity to return to the
outstandingrleader for two succcs~
nivo sessions. and the predominating
authority on lr‘gislative procedure,
because of his experience as assist-
ant clerk th‘cn clerk of the House.
clerk of the Senate. and executive
secretary to governor Marcus ll.
Holcomb.
Had Buckley returned to the
House this session it would have
been certain that the organization of
that body w,ould have revolved about
Buckley and his wishes. as indeed it
did in the 1923 session, when he
abandoned his desire to he speaker
in favor of Leonard J. Nickerson.
and again accepted the arduous
duties of majority leader of the
House. a. task which everybody con-
ceded meant considerable sacrifice
of time and effort on his part. It
was presumed that he would seek
the speakership for the coming ses—
sion. t
Possible Successors.
With the elimination of Buckley
from the legislative picture. it is ex-
pected that the House leader will be
E. L. Darblt of Killingly, although
Daniel F. B. Hickey of Stamford.
who was assistant clerk of the
House last session, and Ernest’ 1..
Averill of Branford. have figured in
speculation as to who will be chos:
on for the task. it being assumed in
all cases, of course. that they can get
the nomination from their respective
towns and can ak‘Iiil‘Wi‘ election.
The selection of Buckley for the
federal attorneyshlp terminates a
situation of some uncertainty that
has existed for nearly four years. or
since the prubllcan administration
took up the reins at “'rnshlngton.

Special Types at Lower
Figures Because of
Popularity—The
Cars Affected
In view of the upward trend in
automobile prices, considerable sur-
prise was occasioned by Dodge
Brothers announcement of a. reduc-
tion in prices of their special type
cars.
Dodge Brothers were able to do
the unexpected. according to the
factory announcement. on account
of the increased volume of their
purchases of special equipment for
the special type ears.
Dodge Brothers special types con-
sist of the standard cars equipped
with accessories which produce the
utmost in comfort and convenience
and appearance of the car. Among
these are steel disc wheels. five bal-
loon tir‘es, pickle-trimmed radiator,
nickel plated bumpers. automatic
windshiel dwiper. rear view mirror.
scuff plates. cowl lights and moto-
meter with lock. A special body
stripe is also provided.
Manfacturing and buying these
accessories in quantity. Dodge Broth-
ers are naturally able to install
them at prices considerably below
what the owner would have to pay
at retail. The public was quick to
sense this and the demand for the
special types grew steadily from the
moment they were made‘ available.
Your Dodge Brothers cars are. af-
fected by the reduction——the special
Touring Car. special Roadster. spe-
cial "A" Sedan. and special 4-Pas-
senger Coupe. The “13" Sean and
the Business Coupe have also been
added to the lino of special types.
As the reduction was made pos-
sible by economics effected in the
purchase of equipment used ex-
clusively on the special type cars.
the standard types are in no way
affected. according to P. R. Gregory,
local dealer. ’J‘te prices of all
standard types remain unchanged.

CLEVELAND. Sept 26.—-Hope
that the whaleback freighter Clifton.
with a crew of 28. survived the
storms of Sunday and Monday on
Lake Huron practically was aband-
d'ned early today. The only hope
held out was by the Progress Steam~
ship Company, owner of the vessel.
Other vessel men believed that the
boat. more than eighty hours over-
due at Detroit. was sunk with he
crew and care: of stone. ’
The owners of the Clifton base
their hope on the fact that none of
the rowboais. cars or any wreckage
from the Clifton has been sighted by
the scores of steamers plying Lake
Huron. or boats sent out to search.
Reports that the Clifton put in at
i ‘ Tawas and- Oscoda, Mica, on
- take Huron, Tuesday. were discred-
ited. The steamer Cadillac, which
passed East Tawas while» down-
bound on the west coast. reported
late last night that she saw nothing
of the vessel.
Lake men ridiculed reports that
the Clifton drew twenty feet of wa-
ter and it impossible for her to
have entered that harbor.
