Stamford Judge to be renamed to present post
Hartford April 10 The Legislative Judiciary committee will report favorably next week on re appointing Judge Samuel Young to the Stamford City court bench. The probable appointment of House Clerk Daniel F. Hickey as prosecutor could mend factional rifts between Hickey and Kenealy in Stamford. Hickey’s backing by Fairfield county boss Karry contrasted with Kenealy’s strong support from the Stamford Republican Town committee. The outcome may ease factional tensions as Hickey’s appointment ends a long campaign for court recognition. Kenealy resents state organization interference and his missed committee seats. Young led the contest with Hickey withdrawing to back him. Deputy Judge Joseph Reinekerboft faced no opposition.
