The New Britain Branch Seems to
 Have Disintegrated.
 New Britain, Sept. 10.-It is pretty we'll understood that the New Britain branch of the Economic League has ceased to exist. Several times within the past week efforts have been made to have meetings of the league and these meetings have had to be given up either on account of the inability of the lead CTS to obtain a hall or on account of lack of attendance. After it was organ ized the local branch declined to join ill a move for a state organization and did not send delegates to the meeting at New Haven. Since then there have been spasmodc efforts to resuscitate the league here but all have been fal- ure. During the days of registration the men who were promoting the league
