 Others in Coming Election
MAY GO TO THE COURTS
Claim Milford Does Not Give Them Their Due-Caucus Will be Held Tonight

At the eleventh hour-there couldn't be Q Woodmont caucus without having something cropping out at the eleventh hour-a strong element backing plan, which if it naterializes. will change practically the entire administration of affairs in Woodmont. has just dis closed itself with a number or strong reasons why many changes should take place.
 To the boroughite the reasons brought forth by the new force. which might not be improperly called lnsur, gents" are intensely interesting ana mont at present is taxed unfairly is the claim of the new element" They state that although WOodmont resi- dents reside at this shore resort for practically only half the year they are being subjected to the same tax as town all the year around. A tax of IF mills is imposed on Woodmonters. like tax being imposed on Milford res idents.
 Interesting also is another claim by the insurgents. Aside from the fact that Woodmont's summer residents claim that it is unfair to tax them on full value, inasmuch as they reside in this town but half year. they claim that the tax money Is collected by Milford authorities who dispose of 1t as they see fit. Out of this money, Woodmonters claim that Milford is taking from $1 1000 to 1 200 each year more than it should.
 To remedy these alleged defects the new element wants a. general change, although at this late hour they. as far as is known, are not united on any special resident for warden. They are strongly in favor of Frederick Van Beren, the New Haven architect MT. Cunningham and MT. Farren of Wood mont for the three burgesses and want Trubee !. Doohttle for clerk. This ele- ment is also seeking better police pro- tection in the borough in view of the recent fires. etc.
 Finally they would carry the mat ter Of taxation to the courts as last resort to secure final settlement. That with the change outlined there would be some certainly of carrying the taxation matter to courts is the belief of most of the insurgents"
 With the caucus but few hours off political excitement in Woodnaont is at present at fever heat. The fleeting years bringing with them all the mod ern ideas make no change in the warmth of politics in the little burg by the sea and the caucus of 1910 will be just like the good old days" The place IS the fire engine house and the time is 8 o'clock tonight. There will De nominatlOnS TOT WarQen, OurgeSS6S, clerk, treasurer and sheriff
 Eliminating the possibility of a dark horse'' there are. as far as is known, three in the race for warden just at present. There are Andrew Y. Beach, Woodmont's present warden, Rev. Dr. Joseph Anderson and James F. Beebe. Dr. Anderson. as reported last week has again stated that he is not running after" the wardenship but will get into the race if the people of Woodmont want to have him.
 Among the political rumors rampant just before the caucus, is the one that MT. Doolttle. who is being backed for clerk against Carl F. Schlecht, the present efficient incumbent of the office. had withdrawn. This MT. Doo- little denied
