CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST
WAITS UNTIL DECEMBER
Likely That Recount VIII Be Made
in the District, Says Congressman
Reilly

Congressman Thomas L. Reilly, the
only democrat on the Connecticut
delegation in the national congress-
was in New Haven Friday said the
New Haven Register, Saturday, and he
said he would probably remain at his
home in Meriden till next week, as
there is nothing calling immediately
for his attention in the halls of con-
gress.
Congressman Reilly said that Ray
mond J. Jodoin, who is contesting the
seat of Congressman Higgins from the
Third district, will persist in the con-
test. believing he is right. The con-
test. however will not be taken up
until the regular session of congress
next December.
The face of the returns showed that
Jodoin had been defeated by IS votes
but he claims that there We're votes
thrown out that should have been
counted for him. in fact in sufficient
numbers to more than elect him.
1t is likely that the house of repre-
sentatiyes. which is now democratic
by a considerable plurality, will vote
to make a recount of the ballots in the
Third district
This is what was, not many years
ago, the strongest republican congress
sional district Ill the state. It was
hopeless for the democrats and any
man put up was a sacrifice. Several
years ago, Tom" Waller, afterwards
governor ran on the democratic ticket
in the district and travelled all through
it stamping from a wagon drawn by
two horses. 1t was what might be
called a whirlwind campaign, but al
though Waller increased the demo-
cratic vote he failed to land.
There was more than one reason why
Jodoin pulled so strong a vote in the
district. He is of French Canadian
extraction, and there are many of the
same blood up Norwich way and in
Windham county There has been also
more or less dissatisfaction with Con-
gresham Higgins in that locality,
among his own party.
If Jodoin is seated he will make two
democratic representatives in the fed
eral congress from Connecticut.

TROLLEY WIRE DROPPED
NEAR BENDETT PLACE
Montvile Line Tied Up for While
Sunday Evening.

A trolley wire down on the south
slope of Trading Cove hill, near the
Bsndett place, at about 1880 Sunday
night made trouble on the Montville
line at an awkward hour, as it caught
the late home corners in the heavy
travel of the day. An extra car on the
1915 trip from Norwich, which was
travelling ahead of the regular, pulled
the wire down, which fell in front of
the car and wound up among the run
ming gear. There was d brilliant dis
play of electricity, which threatened
to set the whole car on fire and
grounded the line so that all the cars
on the rails were stalled. The regular
on this trip was caught just near the
top of the Trading Cove MIL.
The car crew at length succeeded in
cutting the wire and tying it up to a
pole so that the current was flowing
again and other cars on the line could
be moved Night Starter John Kin
ney got the repair car out and down
to the point of trouble as soon as pos
sible and the line was restored a lit
tie before midnight The 10.45 trip
out of New London was delayed over
half an hour.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON
THE NEW INDUSTRY.
Five Prominent Men Have Been Nam
ed to Secure the Desired Financial
Assistance.

Acting upon the vote of the meet
ing to which Messrs. Merritt and Kee-
ney explained the proposition of the
auto and fuel oil engines last week,
Chairman Church on Saturday noon
appointed the following committee to
take up the matter and secure the De-
sired capital: James L. Case, Albert
L. Potter, Frank Fl. Allen, Edward E.
Perry and r. G. Plaut.
The matter now rests with this COM
mittee, and it is believed they will be
successful in securing sufficient cap
ftal to bring the concern here and
start the businen immedia tely. DR..
Keeney left for New York Saturday
night to remain over the Fourth. but
F. W. Merritt will remain here. They
visited several buildings on Saturday
where it would be possible to start the
business, but which would not be con-
sidered ideal places for permanently
locating. as a crane for handling the
heavy work of the engine could not
be erected very handiIy There are
other places to be visited but it will
not be the lack of a place which will
keep the company from locating here,
as start can be made at most any Of
the available factories.
On Saturday Mr.. Merritt received a
communication from New York stat
ing that the Lancaster Engineering
company had sent in a request for a
10 horse power engine, and also stat
ing that they would require several
smaller ones. This makes requests for
the engines totaliing in all about 1900
horse power, the engines being of va
rious sizes.
Since it has become known that
Norwich is interested in this concern
other places have been inquiring why
they were not given a chance to secure
it. Mr. Merritt says that there have
been no demands made by local men
which the company is not willing to
grant. There will be number of
thousand dollars put into it from out
of town. The local directors will have
charge, and the only profit that the
owners of the patents and rights,
Messrs Merritt and Keeney, will get
out of it will be from the earnings. in
addition to their reasonable salaries.
Those who have looked into the
proposition are high in their praise of
it and believe it to be an excellent
thing, submitted under excellent con-
ditions, with experienced men to di-
rect the business, and that it is some
thing Norwich should make the most

With the Fourth of July nearing,
Fire Chief Stanton is anxious that res
idents throughout the city should clean
from the yards all inflammable refuse
that has collected, for this stuff makes
good food for flames that might start
from a firecrac ker.
The usual inspection about the cen

Chief Stanton advises the sending in
of an alarm as soon as a fire is dis
covered, that the department may

BILE in checking the blaze which will
kindle. The exploding of frecrackers
near buildings should not be done. The

Improvements By McCrum-HoWe|| Co.
Plant Capacity Being Increased Fifty Per Cent Cost
of $2OOOO-New Cupala With Steel Bridge, Addi=
tional Warehouse and Shipping Capacity and Dust
less Cleaning Room.

tons are being made to the Norwich
plant of the McCrum, Howell company
whereby the capacity of the plant is
being increased so per cent. at cost
of $4,000. The work is well under
way, the east side of the old cupola
building being torn out to prepare for
the installation of the new cupola.
The additions include a new cupoia
together with a steel bridge, which
spans the Central Vermont railroad
tracks, an elevator for hosting pig
iron, coke and other foundry mater
lals and an entire new cleaning room
equipment This bridge and elevator
permit the taking of the material from
boats at the factory side and getting
them speedily and easily to the cupola
and foundry without being obliged to

carry the material in barrows across
the tracks of the railroad.
The warehouse capacity is also be-
ing added to by the installation of an
Industrial railway which facilitates the
handling of finished material from
machine and assembling departments.
Additional shipping capacity is being
provided, SO that several cars may be
loaded 1t a time, and a new team of
draught horses has been purchased.
Il is of interest to say that the
installation of the new cleaning room
equipment is dustless, the tumbling
barrels being exhausted by a fan pres
sure blower through a GIassford dust
separator. This removes from the ma
chine shop very aggravating feature
and puts that department of the plant
in a healJhfuI condition.
