Judge Greene Hears the Petition Ar
 gued in Chambers.

The petition of Michael T. Kelleher of StoningtCn. through his attorney Charles T. Thayer, to have the recent vote of the town of Stonington de- clared void. was heard by Judge Gar diner Greene in chambers here Mon day
 One of the points raised by the pe titioner is that Eugene Palmer of the Third district was on the ticket for board of relief and was also the mod orator in that district.
 Then it is alleged that the officials in the same district took ballots which had been deposited in the cons titu- tional amendment box by mistake, and placed them in the license box, and they were counted and figured in the result of the vote of that district anG of the town.
 It is further claimed that about 20 persons who are not citizens of the United States were allowed to vote on property qualified tions; and that for that reason the vote is void.
 The town is represented by Hull & Mcclure, and they demurred to the petition.
 MT Mcclure said that Mr. kelleher ought to provide bond for the costs and Judge Greene favored the matter. Albion Tattersan of Stonington of fered himself as surety for MT. kelle- her and he was accepted by the court in the sum of S100.
 MT. McGu1fe argued to lHe eleCt that for 123 years property owners have been allowed to vote at town elections on town matters, and he con- tended that the matter of license is certainly town business.
 He also argued that the act of MT. Palmer in presiding $ moderator In district where only a few votes were cast would not make the vote of the whole town null and void He ln- sisted that the election was entirely reguIar and that the vote should not be interfered with. as the will of the people had been expressed
 Mayor Thayer's argument was that only electors can vote on the license question and the men who voted on the property qualifications were not electors within the meaning of the law
 He also argued that 2 moderator cannot be candidate at Ahe election he presides over. He also tohd of oth- CT irregularities in the recent election in Stonington.
 Major Hull replied briefly and tsaid there was an honest vote against H. cense and it should stand. as it 1s the free will of the people. He said that all the technicalities are only in ferred technicalities.' Judge Greene took the papers and said he would decide the matter as soon as possible, and Mir. Thayer said 1 he would like it soon enough to allow l his clients to apply for licenses as they cannot now as the matter stands Over fifty men and one woman at l tended
 Attorney George R Mckenna was at the hearing, as he is counsel for | StdriE gton and was looking out for 1 the interests of First Selectman He man J. HoldIedge and the other mem | bers of the board l Among these present were Judge l Breed, Town Clerk Elias B. Hinckley, 1 Attorney Hewitt of the town court, E. 1 Frank Williams, Judge Joseph w. ! Chesebro, L. D. Farbrother and others. ] Only two liuuor dealers were at the l hearing.
