 The address of ex-Mayor Studley had preceded the remarks of Mayor Martin. ExMayor Studley said
 ''Gentlemen: The city of New Haven was chartered in 17S4. and from then until now it has been customary for its people to assemble in election every year or every two years and choose a 1. chief executive or mayor. For that req son we are here to-day to fulfil the will of the people in the last election by 1n- stalling the Hon. James B. Martin as mayor of this city.
 T wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to every member of the city government 1. aldermen. councilmen and members of every board or commission who for the past six and a half years have so ably anu cheerfully assisted me I am conscious of and grateful for the treatment from policemen, fremen and every city em- ploye and to-day l wish to thank them one and all"

 "-election time from the incoming omcials. and l wish to express my hearty wishes for the new year, and wish you all possible success"
 Judge Studley intended to have be- spoken for Mayor Martin the same support that he had been given during his regime, but the partisan who want ed him to lay down his burden so un- ceremoniously had somewhat confused aN him before the time arrived for him to conclude his remarks.
