That Norwalk Has
25 of 41 Votes in This
County
HARTFORD. March 18.—'With the
announcement today that the long-
delayed Fairfleld County Legislative
caucus will be held next Tuesday
came word from authoritativo.
sources that Representative Harvey
M. Kent. of Norwalk. is slated for
the county commissionership.
The claim is made that Kent has
cinched at least 25 of the 43 votes
in the Fairfield Legislative delegno
tion.
Present indications are that a
three-cornered contest between Ho-
ward S. Challenger. Kent and Re-
presentative Julia M. Emory of Siam-
ford. will be waged. It 8 possible
however that Mrs. Emery’l name
may be withdrawn, leaving the
Bridgeport senator and his Ndlwalli
rival to battle it out.
While the original agreement is
said to have been that Judge James
I". Walsh. of Greenwich. was to pics
a woman for the berth developments
of the past several Weeks makes
Kent the logical man for the coveted
berth.
Representative Charles E. Wil~
liamson of Dar-ion. whose weight in
Fairfieid politics is recognised. has
from the first been openly hostile to
the move for Challenger. 'Thsrs is
nothing personal in Williamson’s
feeling. He has been of the firm be-
lief that the comml-iouership should
not go to the'Bridgcport end of the
