 Vice President Gates stated on Sun day, President .Lippitt being out of town. that he intended leaving the Hopkins & RlIen Arms company, where he operates the screw machines, in three weeks or sooner. AS to the To- eating of the concern he said that no place had been decided upon. but that it was not probable that it would To- cate in Norwich. It is probable. he continued, that it will be located either in New Haven or New London, both of which places have made offers for the company to come to them The offers he stated, were in the form of better facilities for doing business, the presence of a large stockhouse, and in case of New Haven the advantage of being in a large city. He didn t think there was much if any chance of it's coming here. It will be started as soon as possible, and at first 1t is intended to lease place to carry on the work, most of which will be done by automatic machinery A place 100x5O will be sufficient to start with, but it is expected it will grow. Inas- much as automatic machines will be used, there will not be many hands, all though few high-priced men will be in charge.
