SNAKE HILL CLIMB IS IN JEOPARDY

Opposition to the Snake Hill climb by the local Automobile Dealers as sociation for Memorial day has taken on a rather serious phase within the week. An injunction to restrain the dealers from holding the hill climb under heavy penalty is the course the opposition has decided to adopt Whether the dealers will be able to compromise with the opposition by throwing up further safeguards about the court they do not yet know
 Much money and labor have been expended in preparations, and with this in mind some of the dealers be- lieve the courts will not grant such n injunction if it is pointed out that the plans of the association were pub- lie before they went to their pains.

EXECUTION
 AGAINST
 MATTERS
Lowe & Co.,, to Proceed in De-
 fault of Bond Being Filed

Walter G. Merritt of New York, who with Daniel Davenport of this city ap- peared for D. E. Loewe & Co.,, the Danbury hat manufacturers. when they obtained judgment for $225,0OO against Martin Lawler and others, this city Saturday. After the judg- ment was entered the defendants gave notice of an appeal. and Judge Platt said that if the defendants wanted stay of execution they would have to file bond in the sum of $25O, 900. less the security which D. B. LOewe & co. now have to secure the judgment, at tachment of real estate and bank de- posits of the defendants having been covered by legal process when the su1t was brought.
 MT. Merritt said that he had not heard that the defendants were taking any steps to furnish @ bond, and he said that if the bond was not furnish ed his clients would have execution issue against the defendants whose personal property and realty has been attached. The practice in the Federal court permits the levying of execution pending the trial of the appeal.
 D. E. Loewe & Co.,, MT. Merritt said. had decided to have executions issue unless the bond ordered by Judge Platt to stay execution had been flled. By doing this his clients would be taking the chance of having to pay the money back provided the United States Circuit Court of Appeals upset the verdict. but they were willing to do that. He said that no computa- tions had been made to determine the amount of surety in the way of real estate attachments and money in bank his clients had to secure the judgment, but he had talked with some men who were familiar with real estate values in Danbury, and without making a close investigation. he said, the men had told him that the real estate sure ty was worth $S0,0OO. He was will ing to take that statement as the val uation. He said that there is about $6O, 900 in money of the defendants tied up in bank. making $40, 900. and he said that if the defendants wanted to put bond in the sum of $11o.Oo0, thus making $250,OOO. as ordered by Judge Platt, he was of the opinion that he would not make objection to accepting a $110.00O bond. He said that he would prefer the filing of a bond, but if the bond was not filed his clients would have execution issue
