McCue which have been carried, on here for several years, culminated in success Monday night, when the entire Young Democratic slate of delegates to the Democratic state convention was elected in a spirited caucus held at the Welles School.

Following the caucus, Raymond J. Burke, who was defeated for selectman by Eugene F. Kellv in the town elections last fall, announced that a Voung Democratic Club had been formed. Officers of this club are Mr. Burke, president; first vice president, James Shea; second vice-president, Miss Angeline -Vicino; secretary, Miss Agnes Fitzsimmons, and treasurer, Miss Margaret Whalen.

The clash between the two factions was evident at the opening of the caucus and a contest over the election of a chairman ensued. Mrs. Florence Hoffman was nominated by Mr. Burke, and George J. Lyman nominated by John J.

O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor introduced a motion that in the event of a contest the ballot be taken by caucus list. This was protested by members of the opposing group, the Young Democrats, who asked for a standing vote. Town Chairman McCue ordered all those who were not registered Democrats to leave the hall and Mr.

O'Connor withdrew his objections to a standing vote. About 20 persons left the hall on this order. Mrs. Hoffman was elected chairman by standing vote, and Mrs. Katherine Dillon was unanimously elected secretary.

Albert J. Dovle, a member of the Young Democrats, nominated a slate of delegates and alternate delegates. The old guard faction took exception to the nominating of alternate delegates. Mr. McCue stated that a ruling of the Democrats State Central Committee provided that alternates be chosen by the delegates themselves, and not elected by the voters.

The young group withdrew -their slate of alternates, Mr. O'Connor presented the old guard slate of delegates. The slate elected by ballot, defeating the McCue faction candidates by approximately votes was Fred Watts, 6,0 votes; Mrs. Isola Adams. 62; Harry Finnegan, 64; John Sehl, 64; Miss Marion Griffin, 60, and Richard Donovan.

61. The defeated slate was Eugene F. Kelly, 48; Edward J. Shea. 49; Joseph A.

Hetm. 48; Michael J. McCue, 49; George L. Adams, 47 and J. Elmer Bannon, 45.

Alternate delegates who were nominated and later withdrawn bv the young group were John Cass, Miss Margaret Whalen, Miss Angeline Vicino, Thomas Shea, Miss Agnes Fitzsimmons and Armand Drieu. In announcing the organization of the Young Democratic Club. Mr. Burke said "It is our intention to cooperate with the Democratic Party in Wethersfield and to influence the young folks to town affairs. It is also our intention to hold discussions on current topics at our meetings, thereby encouraging public speaking among the young people." Mr.

McCue, expressing a desire to cooperate with this cUib, said that so far he had not been invited to join the group or take part in its activities. He announced that, a future meeting of the Town Committee will be open to all Democratic electors of the town. 100 Attend Play.

East Hartford A controversy, threatening to disrupt an otherwise harmonious Democratic town convention in the high school auditorium Monday night, was tactfully averted when the delegates voted thai Town Chairman Maurice J.

Landers be empowered to appoint proxies for delegates unable to attend the state convention next month. The question of allowing such delegates to select, their own proxies was raised by Rudolph W. Trautner of the Fifth District immediately after 8 motion, brought before the assembly by Thomas Shea of the District, to the effect that these appointments should be made by Chairman Landers. Discussion Choked Off. Discussion of this point was choked off abruptly as the town chairman, acting as permanent chairman of the convention, responded to several demands by putting Mr, Shea's motion to a voice vote.

The motion was carried, without dissenting votes. A list of delegates for the state convention was presented before last night's gathering by Michael D. Dannnaher. This roster, consisting of 11 persons, was accepted bv a vote. The Third and Fourth districts, with three delegates each, have the largest representation while the smallest number, one comes from the Fifth District, stronghold of the Roosevelt forces four years ago.
