Leaves New Haven for South- ern Trip a Few Hours Be- fore Deputy Sheriff
 Reaches His
 Home,
LILLEY's COUNSEL ADVISE
Tell Him There Is No Likelihood of Testimony Being Taken To- -morrow-W. H. Mose- ley and Dennis McCuen
 Summoned.

Col. Isaac M. Ullman left New Ha- ven yesterday just in time to escape being served with subpoena to at- tend the session of the special cleo ton court which is to be held here to- morrow morning The question had arisen whether the papers which had ' been served on Governor-elect Lilley would be sufficient to bring about tha voluntary appearance in court to- morrow of Colonel Ullman. the gover- nor-elects political agent. At con- , ference held by MT. Fox with his at torneys 1t was decided to issue a sub- poena for Colonel Ullman to have him appear in court tomorrow. The subpoena, with five others issued in connection with the court tomorrow were given to Deputy Sheriff Hut yes- terday afternoon to be served.
 The deputy sheriff went right down to serve his subpoena on Colonel Ull- man. He went to the colonePs home first where the maid informed him that Colonel Ullman had gone out of town and she did not know when he would return. Mrs. Ullman then came and informed the deputy that the colonel had left for Washington. and said that if he had any message she would deliver 1t to him as she was to meet him in Washington The deputy sheriff replied that his bus- ness was personal and after thanking Mrs. Ullman for her offer departed.
 After leaving the house he went down to the Strouse-Adle companys office where he saw Joseph Ullman. He told him his business and the colonels brother then told him that the colonel had left that morning for Washington. He stated that the col- onel had consulted with MT. Lilley's attorneys about the case, telling them that if they thought there was any probability of taking testimony Satur- day he would remain over Saturday and delay his vacation that much. but the attorneys had told him that on &C., count of the arguing of the legal question they felt sure there would he no chance for taking any testimony and that there would be no need of his staying over on that account.
 Acting on this information Joseph trllman stated his brother had pre- pared to go at once and had left town before the deputy sheriff had secured the subpoena for him. He added that the colonel had expressed him self as willing to shorten his vacation and come back If he was needed be- fore the vacation trip was over.
