Mayor Asked To Sit On Stage With John T
Mayor Wilson invited to sit on the stage with guests at the Brandeges rally in the Casino Monday night while John T. King agreed to preside. The town committee sought to balance appearances by inviting the Mayor, hoping the audience will insist on hearing him. The Board of Aldermen planned to meet on Monday and adjourn for a week due to use of the Council Chamber by the Board of Registration. Rumors say Frank E. Fallard, formerly city treasurer, turned over funds to the State Central committee instead of his successor, William E. Serley. Serley demands the funds and Fallard reportedly sent all collections to Hartford. Segley reportedly struggles to raise city campaign funds from those who refused Ballard.
