New York, Aug. 1.-THE possttAii-
ty that the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad will become a bid

was indicated to-day by President
Charles $. Mellen, of that road. at a
hearing before the public service COM
mission here. Mr.. Mellen appeared IN
connection with the New York and
Portchester railroad franchise matter.
witnesses being examined in answer to
complaint that the Portchester COM
pany has failed to proceed with the
construction Of the line as its franz
chise provides.
After President Mellen had explain
ed that the delay was caused BY the
necessity Of awaiting the decision OF
the New York court Of appeals on the
validity Of the franchise OF the New
York, Westchester and Boston road,
a practically parallel line, the wit
ness explained that the New Haven
company, to handle properly Its SUBJ
urban traffic, must secure an entrance
into the heart Of New York without
change of cars.
Mr.. Mellen said that he did not
believe that there could ever be a
thoroughly satisfactory development
OF the New Haven's committing busi-
ness unless trains could come right
straight through to their destination.
whether that was the Battery or City
hall or elsewhere.
Mr. Mellen added that he had heard
Of late that the public service com-
mission had power to compel COM
panies to make connections and es-
tablish through rates. If that was
correct. he said, perhaps the New
Haven might some day made an APP
plication to the commission.
An interesting point was brought
out when Commissioner Eusts asked
President Mellen If the public service,
commission could lay out a subway
for the east side, say along Second or
Third avenue. the New Haven road
would be willing to construct 1t. Pres
ident Mellen replied:
'Mr. Commissioner: did not fex-
pect you were going to ask me- to
touch Off dynamite here to-day. But
! will say that we must find somet way
Of getting our passengers intp the
heart Of New York, to their destina-
tions."
Much interest was aroused by Mr..
Mellen's intimation that the New Haven
under certain conditions might become q
bidder for the construction Of a subway
route. further references to which was
made in his later testimony.
Mr.. Mellen testified that he thought

VINCENT Is HELD
New Havener Charged With
Assault at Nahant Bound
Over Under $3.50.
TO BE TRIED IN SEPTEMBER
Man Attacked Claims Two Vicious
Stnbs Made by Vincent With
Pocket Knife.

Lynn, Mass. Aug. 12.-After a trial
hearing before Justice E. Joseph Will
son In the Nahant police court this af-
ternoon John Vincent of New Haven,
who claimed that he was delegate to
the convention Of the National Typo
graphical union which is being held at
Boston, was bound over for trial In
the September term of the superior
court under bail of 81 500 which was not
Forthcoming last night and Vincent
was committed to the Salem jail to
await trial. He is under charge OF
assaulting Michael Proctor, clerk at
the Bass Point house with a knife and
badly cutting him.
Proctor testified that he found vin-
cent asleep on the rocks and awoke
| him. When Vincent woke ND he open
ed a pocket knife and stabbed Proctor
twice. Officer Kennedy of the police
force who arrested Vincent testified
that the defendant had failed to give
any satisfactory reason for his pres.
ence on the rocks. other than that he
was delegate to the Typographical
convention and had come over on the
, outing from Boston. He claimed he
had missed the steamer back which
carried the other $500 delegates bach
to the city Several other witnesses
were called who testified that Vincent
admitted stabbing Proctor In court
today however he firmly denied the
charge entirely.
The assault was very vicious and nc
motive Of provocation appears. This Il
likely to count heavily against Vncen
/ in his trial. His name does not ap-
pear on the list of registered delegates
to the convention but he has a unior
card In his pocket which shows him
to be member in good standing.

report here that little Elmer and Da-
vid King. the twin children Of Mr..

Chinaman. who have been missing
from this city since Monday, were in

the other children with whom they
went to school had no time to play
Mr. King, their celestial father, In
