$10,000 respectively for investigation
of shortages in their accounts said
to run over 815.000. were not called
for court hearing this morning. The
case is being continued from day to
day either to permit the completion
of the audit now being conducted
with their aid. or because of the ab-
sencc from the city of Attorney Paul
it. Connery, counsel for the commis-
sioners. .
It was learned this morning. al-
though uo announcement was made
of the fact. that Dunn‘s accounts
have been fully examined and that
they show the amount lie milked
from the district funds to have
been about 39.000. Restitution up to
this amount has been practically as-
sured. Sterling has retained Judge
George ll. Vosburgh as his attorney.
Judge \‘osburgh made a statement
today in which he declared Sterling
will make full restitution. The ex-
amination of his accounts is now
being started.
The two commissioners. who with
Irving C. Jennings comprise the en-
tire commission, recalled this morn-
ing that they have never received I
formal request from City Auditor
Benjamin F. Andrews that they
open their books to be examined by
him and state that when Andrews
asked to be allowed to see the ac-
counts his request might have been
handled through one of the clerks.

as far as he can recall Mr. An-
drew's predecessor. Auditor Horan.

These statements are made in an-
swer to charges the books have
been closed to outsiders since 1916.
when the commission refused access
to Auditor Keisler. The reason for
that action, as Mr. Harford recalls
it. was that Kelsler was an em-

Power company and. as such. was
considered by the district as the
representative of a competitor.

is an avowed candidate for the state
senate to succeed Senator Frank .W.

the party leaders has been known
for a. week or more but. Mr.
Millie has until now refused to come

The senatorial convention will be}
held in Norwalk some time after the I
state convention of the Republican
party in mid September. No date has
been set as yet. There will be 10 de-
legates to the convention: four from.
Norwalk: two from Wilton; and the
some number from both New Canaan
and Darlen.
Mrs. Hocisclicr’s Position
Mrs. 1‘ l‘LtILlICk H. Hoelscher. who
was defeated as a. candidate for de-
legate to the city convention in the
fourth ward caucus Friday night
declared this morning that she .was
never a candidate. Her name was
proposed 'as a. fifth nominee withous
ber approval and during her absence
from the meeting by the Sniffer:
contingent. She states that. she had
no knowledge of her candidacy un-
til she reached the office and found
the balloting already in progress.
The peace and serenity of the Re-
publican town convention in the
city hall Saturday night was jarred
a. bit in opposition from the Fourth
ward. which promised to be heat»-
ed. but which was cooled oi! when
Town Chairman John Milne assur-
ed the objector. Councilman John '
Mills. that “everything has been
conducted in fairness."
He was alluding to Mr. Mills’
complaint that the Fourth ward had
been left out of the list of delegates
to the state convention. The argu-
ment was closed. but Councilman
Mills. who is chairman of the
Fourth ward committee. refused to
serve as a. probate delegate, to
which position he was elected. Mrs.
Millicent Mcrriman was chosen in
his stead.
Except for this argument the
business of the convention was car-
ried through in record ti..:e under
the chairmanship of Charles H. Dil-
worth. Mrs. Herbert 0. Pollard was
secretary of the meeting.
