CAUCUSES NEXT WEEK 
Interest Centers in Election of Senatorial Dele- 
gates— Jas. F. Shaw and Augustus Hub- 
bard the Two Senatorial Candidates 
Though there is an apparent lack 
of interest in the Republican caucus 
to be held in Manchester next Tues- 
day evening, compared to last year, 
there is much more interest than 
usual, the chief point at issue being 
the election of candidates favorable to 
James F. Shaw as the senatorial nom- 
inee. Mr. Shaw’s chief opponent is 
Augustus Hubbard, who, it will be 
recalled withdrew from the field last 
ear leaving everything to Mr. Shaw. 
hough it is conceded Mr. Shaw will 
get the nomination as far as Man- 
chester, his home town is concerned, 
not all concede to him the nomination. 
It has been decided by the present 
Republican town committee that the 
committee shall consist of nine mem- 
bers the coming year instead of seven. 
Six of the present committee will 
probably be re-elected and three new 
members added. 
The Democratic caucus will be held 
on Wednesday evening.

FERGUSON COTTAGE, BEING BUILT AT MANCHESTER

The building is now well under way.

houses along the shore, including the

MORE BURGLARIES 
Two More at Manchester in the Series of 
Breaks Along the Shore—State Police at 
Work on the Cases 
Two more cases of burglary were 
added this week to the series of 
breaks along the North Shore the 
past few weeks. Both breaks were 
made on Sunday night, and both were 
made in close proximity to each other. 
In each case however, the thieves did 
not obtain much booty and in one 
case they were frightened away before 
they had time to do much damage. 
One break was made at the F. M. 
Whitehouse estate Sunday night as 
the family were at dinner, under con- 
ditions similar to the McMillan break. 
Entrance was made by cutting the 
screen On a_ second-story window. 
The burglars, after entering the room 
and the adjoining rooms, locked the 
doors from the inside so that if their 
presence was discovered they could 
escape before apprehended. They 
made off with a heavy gold safety pin 
with a large opal setting, a gold neck 
chain, a gold necklace, a silver neck- 
lace and several other articles of less 
value. They were frightened away 
before they had time to do much; a 
maid, finding a door locked, giving the 
alarm. 
At the G. M. Lane house the same 
night entrance was made in similar 
manner, some time after midnight, it 
is thought. As the Lanes are abroad 
there was very little in the line of 
valuables available. Two shirt studs 
set with pearls, a brooch pin with 
a large amethyst set with pearls and 
$12 in cash were among the things 
stolen. 
Special precautions are being taken 
all along the shore against any further 
breaks, and besides all the Manchester 
specials, who are now on duty nights 
with the regular officers, a large num- 
ber of special officers are guarding 
private estates. 
Arthur Wells of the state police 
was in town Tuesday working on the 
case.
