’HARTFORD. Feb. 4.-—-Senator
~ Bowerd S. Challenger is to be sty-
mied again. it became apparent. here
today. when the contest over the ap-
pointment of a county commission-
. or for Fairtleld county entered its
., final stage with Challenger. counted

ers. evidently eliminated. -

sive term on a. platform or open op-

state organization. Challenger seems
‘ about to be sidetracked again. Do-

port organization. blocked in his
Wish this season to be chairman of
the cities and boroughs committee.
J it seems that once again the pecul-
" tar discipline of the state organiza-
tion is to disappoint the leading Re.
publican senator. from the stand-
. point of votes.
With the appointment
Miss Finetto Nichols. of Fairfield.
a a. mercantile inspector of the
State Labor department. came word
from an authentic source that Sen-
ator Challenger, is out of. the Fair-
" field County commissionship race.
and that the choice for the berth
lies with Judge James F. \Vaish. of
Greenwich. who will propose a wo-
man for the office within the next
. 19w days.
' Senator Challenger it is said. will
be taken care of by the State organ-
ization by being given a place on
the next State ticket. This develop-
ment gives rise to the belie: among
Fairfield county legislators that
Challenger. who has long been in
public service and who knows more
' than a few rules or the game. be-
came a candidate for the commis-
sionership {or the. express purpose
of advancing to that which is now
. laid to he promised to him.
' Judge W’alsh was here yesterday
In conference with J. Henry Rora-
back. Harry Mackenzie. of Bethel.
State Labor commissioner, and oth-
or organization leaders. it is believ-
ed that Miss Nichols' appointment
_ is the direct result of the contab.
101'. it is understood. she had a fair
. bid for the commissionership inas-
much as she withdrew from a con-
test two years ago in favor of Re-
presentative John H. Hill, of Shel-
ton, chairman of the Fairfield
County Legislative delegation.
today of
State organization leaders. it is
, said. assured the women that the
' next county commissionership to
«be filled would be tor one of them.
7 The present incumbent of the office.
“I Henry P. Crawford. comes from
.: Grenewich. and according to one
12 high in the councils of the party to-
_: day} the issue as the Slate organi-
ia-zgtion views it. is geographicaJ
rather than personal.
’ According to this man. in view
‘ of the fact that the present otfice
holder is from Grenwich. and'be-
cause the women are rightlully en-
titled to the office by reason of
their active participation in affairs
of the party and Miss :x‘icholS' with-
drawal two years ago, together with
the justice of Judge “‘alsh's claims
upon the organization. there is of-
fltered no other logical solution to
the matter except to reward Miss
Nichols by her appointment. to of—
fer Challenger future reward for his
ctivities. and to allow Judge \Valsh
to pick the woman for the position.
Representative Ethel B. Ryan. of
*Ridgefield. it was said will be the
.Republlcan county auditor. There be
no other candidate tor the berth, it
3v:- stated.
‘Just which of the two Democrats
will be chosen for auditor remains a
"matter or speculation. Efforts have
ecu made to get Reprosentives
red B. Candcc. of Boston. and
”Willis B. Banks. of \V’eston. to toss
coin or in some other manner de-
_de the contest of the two-man
ucus between themselves. Both
guys influential backing among the
epubiicans, and to all present in-
dications the Republicans will battle
etween themselves to settle the
ght of the two Democrats.
