Louis Neuberger, the well known manufactures and clubman has brought suit against former Mayor Thomas P. Taylor for $1,500. He claims Taylor told him the statement in prospectus issued by the Arizona Amalgamated Copper Go. were true. Acting upon this advice, Neuberger claims to have purchased 300 shares of the stock for $810.

In the complaint, which is filed today<fn the court of common pleas. several para graphs of the company's prospectus are cited. The prospectus tells in glowing terms of the company's s property in Arizona, of the big cap ital and sure returns on investments.
 Neuberger declares the statements in the prospectus are false and that Taylor knew them to be false. He claims the company was insolvent in 1907 and did not own property as stat ed The stock Neuberger bought for sS10 is now worthless. he says. He has never received any of his money back although he has frequently de- manded it from Taylor and from the president and directors of the com pany

WILSON MAY
 FAVOR DIRECT PRIMARIES SOON
Said that As Republican Mayoral Candidate He
 Feels Himself Slipping Scandal Over Alleged Cor rupt Offer. of Combination

The political situation On the Re publican side is more involved today than at any time since the campaign for the Mayoral nomination was com menced.
 Some scandal was created by the published story that one of the Morris delegates had gone over to the King candidate, following a promise that he would receive the nomination for town clerk.
 Divers and various Morris men were pointing out to their opponents that the corrupt practices act. forbids the promising of offices to induce men to take or to refrain from taking polit- ical action. The offense is put into the same class as if a person sold his vote Or influence for money. It is heavily punished by fine Or imprfson- ment.
 It is alleged that any effort to give the nomination of town clerk follow ing an alleged bargain will be resent ed by threat of invoking the law.
 The blank space in the Morris dele gation has been filled in, with another man.
 Political rumor had it, evidently up- on excellent authority, that Candidate Wilson finds himself losing ground, and that in an effort to stem the tide he wial declare himself in favor of the Morris program for direct primaries. This is in the hope of strengthening himself with the Republican voters, or, at the least, putting himself, in a position where he can iexpect support from the Morris delegates as their second choice in case of deadlock It is doubtful if wilson's eleventh hour conversion to direct primaries would gain all that his friends hope, but it might help him some

 How Callahan happened to be across the rails theN trolleymen couldn't understand. They surmise that he must have tripped and fallen, and as he fell, he rolled across the rails.
 The first wheel of the rear truck had passed over the man. His left leg was practically amputated and his right leg was crushed to a pulp. The trolley1nen dragged him from be- meath the truck, and sent an ambu- lance call from a nearby telephone.
 Callahan was rushed at top speed to St. Vincent's hospital where Dr.. Godfrey and the house surgeons com pleted the a1nputation of both limbs. Callahan was resting comfortably this afternoon but his condition owing to his advanced age was not regarded as very hopeful. However, the doc tors said he was doing as well as they could expect.
 Callahan secured work with the city on Saturday. Today was the second day he has worked on Fair field avenue He was employed in hauling top dressing which he laid over the ruts worn in the macadam road of the much traversed thorough fare.
 His cart was loaded with the top dressing which he was preparing to strew over the worn roadbed when the Southport bound car came up. Callahan l5,+ess with his wife, who IS very feeble, at 200 Linen avenuss There are no children.

TOWN
 ELECTIONS TODAY
Two ConstitutionaI Amendments
 Being Voted Upon
License Advocates Are Facing Fights in Several .Towns-Socialists
 Fighting Hard in Bristol
Especial from United Press,

Special from United Press.)
 Hartford, Oct. 2-The license ques- tion and two constitutional amend ments complicate the elections for town officers being held in the towns around the State. today. The con stitutional amendments for early ad- journment of the Legislature and for added power to the Lieutenant Cover nor are on special ballots in all places, but the license vote is being taken on special petition in about half dozen localities.
 The proposed amendment to the power of the Lieutenant Governor reads:
 ..In case of death, resignation, re- fusal to serve, inability to perform the powers and duties of his office, or re- moyal from office of the Governor, or of his impeachment or absence from the State, the lieutenant Governor appertaining to the office of Governor until another be chosen at the next periodical election for Governor and be duty qualified, or until the Cover nor, impeached or absent shall be ac- quilted or returned
 The adjournment amendment reads:
 '4Hhe General Assembly shall ad-
 
 Wednesday after the first Monday in June, following the organization
 By special act, the Legislature has given permission to towns not having regular elections today to vote on the questions at later elections. This saves the expense of special vote
 Governor Baldwin has supported the adjournment amendment at every op- portunity, and his support, together wiih the popular nausea over the last Legislatures long session, is expected to result in the passing of the amend ment The other article is not being strenuously opposed.
 Socialism figures prominently in the elections in Bristol, Manchester, Rock vile, and Torrington. George w. Hull, Socialist, has conducted a lively campaign for Mayor of Bristol.
 Besides these towns elections are being held today in New London, Nor walk and South Norwalk.
 There are hot fights on the liquor question at Willimantic Winsted. Manchester and Southin gton Man chester, covered in the campaign by the Prohibitionist leaders, is in a fair way to go no license. The liquor in terests claim victory in the other places
 Citizens or independent parties have made their appearance at several places, notably Thompsonvflle and New Haven. The city elections in New Haven and Waterbury will not be held until tomorrow by special per mission of the Legislature to avoid holding the election on the Jewish day of atonement. today.
