ALLEGED OYSTER COMBINE. Henry c. Rowe, of This City, Know,
 Nothing of It.

There is an alleged deal on whereby British syndicate will secure control of oyster grounds along this coast which are reputed to be worth over a million dollars. The principal idea of the combine is to control foreign trade. Henry c. Rowe of this city, who Is president of the Connecticut Oyster Growers association, was last night asked regarding the same, and he claimed to have no knowledge of such a. combine. He said: T think there has been a large amount of smoke with very little or no fire I don't think there has been or will be any combine which will have any effect upon the oyster business of this state At any rate, I know nothing of it.'
 Because of MT. Rowe's prominence among the oyster growers and also be- cause of his extensive interests in that line it is quite probable that he would be informed of such deal, if any were attempted. Prominent South Norwalk shippers also claim to have no knowl- edge of such movement.
