C"""!'iinr R Gotthardt Would TakeJId Place Believes Germans En titled To Good Spot On Ticket POLAND, TURNER AND RORABACK MENTIONED Bosses Will Hold Confab And Apportion Out Places-Bcgart And Robinson Talked About i Close on the heels' of the announce ment of Tax Collector B. F. Oooney that he will not be a candidate for re election cornea a story that the friends of former collector, Charles Gott hardt, have begun a drive to secure the nomination for him. At a meet ing of one of the German societies last night it was suggested that the Ger mans ought to have representation on the Republican, ticket and that Mr. Gotthardt was entitled to the place. Tonight the Republican primaries will be held and consequently there Is much speculation as to the, person nel of Mayor Wilson's running mates, for the machine has definitely settled that Mayor Wilson is to have a re nomlnatlon. Friends of Howard F. Smith, the present assistant tax collector want him to have the nomination for col lector and at this writing the chances are that he will be the candidate. For the nomination for city clerk two men have been suggested, both of whom live in the Fourth district and are prominently identified with the newly organised club there. They are James A. Turner, vice president of the club, and Frank W. Horalback, the Republican assistant registrar of voters in the district. Friends of both men are trying to bring about an arrangement whereby Mr. Turner will accept the nomina tion and agree to appoint Mr. Rora back his assistant In the event of hie election. Frank G. Bogarts friends are also urging him for the nomination. Two years ago Mr. , Bogart had sixteen del egates pledged to him but before the convention 'met " some of his friends asked him to withdraw his name In favor of Howard F. Mitchell, promis ing that he should have the nomina tion this time if .Mr. Mitchell was un successful. Only a few of the dele ' gates who were in the convention two years ago will be in the convention this year and Mr. Mitchell's name is not even being considered, although his contribution to the campaign fund and his campaign expenses were larg er than those " of any individual can didate. Although J. A. H Robinson will not say that he is or is not a candidate for the nomination for town clerk, there Is understood to be considerable opposition, to his candidacy. Some of the delegates from the East Side think that East Bridgeport should be represented on the ticket and they may have a candidate for the nomination for either city or town clerk. . - The name of. Charles Poland of the 12th district appears to be the one that meets with ; the most approval among the rank and file of the party. Mr. Poland Is superintendent of Jen nings Bros, factory, a native East Sider and his Republican admirers be lieve his past services entitle him to recognition. It is pretty well understood by the delegates that In the event of Re publican success Joseph Wright who has been, a sort of ex-offlclo assistant chairman of the town committee la to be taken care of and that he will be given a place as assistant to one of the officers or some other, Job which carries a good salary.

Panama, Oct. 10 The Gamboa Dyke was exploded at 2:02, this af ternoon. The electric spark that set off the blast was sent forward by President Wilson from Washington. The occurrence was every way suc cessful. . ... ,-. " Washington, Oct. 10 Exactly at 2 o'clock, eastern time, this afternoon; President Wilson, pressing a Sutton in the White House, sent an electric current flashing more than M00 miles over land and under seas to blow up the Gamboa Dyke in the Panama Canal and remove the last practical obstacle In . the great inter- ocean waterway. The Atlantic and Pacific oceans were not actually united, today, when the Gamboa Dyke was destroyed and the water of Gatun Lake was allowed to flow in Culebra Cut as lake and cut are, at the normal surface of the water, 85 feet above the level of the sea. , ' The destruction of the Gamboa Dyke, however, removes ,the last ob struction to the navigation . of the greater part of the canal by light draft vessels and opens up direct connec tion between the' great Gatun Lake, which already is practically ready to discharge vessels into the Atlantic through Gatun Locks and the Pacific ocean. The waters of the lake rush ing through the broken dyke at Gam boa sweep through Culebra Cut un til they reach the great locks at Pe dro Miguel, which mark the begin ning of the descent from the top lev-; el of the canal to the Pacific. The first craft to enter were the great steam dredges whose work Is to clear and deepen the channel. The pres ence of small craft in portions of the canal, however, does not as yet mean ocean to ocean navigation. This will first be possible when each ling in the canal has a sufficient depth of water and all the locks are work ing, i ' . In the intermediate stages, however, navigation may be effected in lo cal lengths of the canal and to some degrees may be extended from length to length along the whole waterway. Today's event served to demonstrate the nearness of the canal to the op erating stages. It also formally serv ed to close the work of the central division in . the cut for the dredging operations which are to succeed the team shovel - work will be under a different organization. Gamboa Dyke was built in 1908 to hold the Chagres River1 in check dur ing Its turbulent periods and to pre vent Its waters from entering the nine mile long section of Culebra Cut and delaying the work of the steam shov els. It was important solely from Its locationl Twenty-four miles to the north the mighty Gatun Dam, which, to the uninitiated, appears to be nothing more than a low mountain range stretched across a valley, keeps the waters of Gatun Lake; from es caping to the sea. These twQ bar riers have kept in check .the rising waters of Gatun Lake. Today there is only one and the waters of. . the lake now extend from Pedro Miguel Lock on the south to Gatun and to the north, a distance 'of approximate ly S3 miles, about two-thirds of the channel's length, ' . The drills were at work on the dyke, nearly the. w(hole month of September and It was mint ed with over 1,200 holes charged with dynamite. . BROKERS FINED y FOR SMUGGLING Trenton, N.
