Huxford denies candidacy for House Speakership
A Fairfield County Republican meeting looms as discussion centers on the Speakership with Frederick Huxford denying any candidacy, asserting he has not announced or endorsed anyone for the post. Local support, party dynamics, and the dry movement shape the race, with Judge Walsh and others also in the mix as upstate and Fairfield factions jockey for influence. Frances Pietro, 25, of 435 Kossuth Street, who attempted suicide to hide a family secret, is expected to recover at St. Vincent's Hospital.
