Two years ago Judge Piatt was
considered a possible nominee of
Governor Templeton for the Superior
court bench. He was reported dur»
in: the early part of the session or
the General assembly to have the
support of the Republican State or-
ganization {or the honor. and a
New Haven paper published the de-
nnlto assertion that Putt would, be
nominated. “flaunt-nor Templeton
was declared to have been lred 3b:
thin action. and the next day he sent
to the Senate the nomination of
Frederick M. Paisley. against. the
counoel of various advisers. The
Pmley nominatlon subsequently
was rejected. and hi its place Gov-
ernor Templeton sent the nomina-
tion of Judge John R. Booth of Dan-
bury. which was confirmed.
Two plnccs in the higher Judlclcry
must be filled by nomination of Gov-
ernor Trumbull. in addition to the
one made vacant by the intended ad-

ble to the Supreme court, for which
Judge Edwin C. Dickenson or the
Hartford Common Pleas court is re-
ported to be slated. The retirement
of Justice. John\E. Keelor and John
