Ez-Attorney General Phelps De. nieS the Statements of The Gubernatorial
 Candidate at
 Meridel
IS PLACED IN A BAD LIGHT
That He Should Use an Alleged Copy of Proposed Utilities Measure Considered
 Bad Politics.

At a republican mass meeting ia Meriden on Tuesday night Mir. George L Iilley, the republican candidate for governor. reviewed in detail and at great length what he stated was a bill drawn up by the special legislativs commission for public utilities corn- mission Mir. Lilley made this prelim- mary assertion:
 The bill Is drawn and ready for presentation. I have been privileged to see 1t and can give you assurance that it iustifles all the faith that we have been able to put in the able body of men who were given the work ot drafting the measure, The bill fills more than eighty typewriter pages and shows most exhaustive palms. taking study of the question set out by the commission"
 The foregoing words are not those of q reporter but taken from the advance sheet of Mir. Lilleys speech of which preseumptively he had read the proof. The extract is practically as authentic as if 1t bore his signature.
 That MT Lilley should secure for use upon the stump an exclusive ad- vance copy of the public utilities bill upon which public attention has been focused for some months was calcu- lated to excite comment and was hard ly complimentary to the wisdom of the special commission. The subjoined As- sociated Press despatch of yesterday explains the real facts.
 "A few days ago a supposed general digest of tho bill was printed in the state press and Attorney General Hol- comb, chairman of the public utilities commission at once gave out a denlai that a bill or draft of bill had becn drawn mp Today Charles Phelps of Rockville, a member of the com- mttee, stated that no report of the public utilities commission had been drawn up and nothing authentic had been prepared Mir. Phelps said: Tho commission is meeting every few days to discuss details of tho matters before it but as yet has made no draft what soever of the bill, The preparation of the bill will not he reached for some time vet. It's contents will not be made known until 1t Is completed. I agree fully with MT. Holcomb in his denial of the recent story which was suppos. ed to give an idea of what the bill has been Our secretary, MT.
