Governor Baldwin Prefers Judson Bill To Banks Bill;
 Brazen Efforts Of Shameless
 Lobby Denounced By Judson
Lobby's Cry, "Unconstitu- tional," on Speakers Lips
 As He Breaks Tie Bridgeport Representatives Vote with People, But
 Clark with Banks
Monroe Man is Democrat Whose Fellows Are Sorry
 They Made Him Auditor

| IuCy NIduC lIIII1 ACluIUOI | Hartford, June 16-By the Speaker of the House, Fred Scott of Plymouth
 breaking the tie vote which stood al Banks-Davenport public utilities bill that measure passed the House late yesterday afternoon. MT. Scott gave as his reason for voting as he did ! that, he believed the minority bill which had passed the Senate was un- constitutional. This is the same ar eument used by every member of the augmented lobby which has been at work day and night since the Senate acted favorably on the minority bill. When the vote was finished and all the members present had been record ed either for or against the Banks Davenport draft, it was found that according to the tally kept by report CTS and others that the Banks bill was beaten by one vote. Then Rep resentative Perrin of Hebron explain ed that he had voted "yes" and the reporters who had checked him as vot- ing the other way changed his vote. This made the vote a tie.
 The fight for the Judson bill, so-call- ed, was led by Judge Tingier, the Democratic House leader, Mayor Dunn of Willimantic, Representative Thoms of Waterbury, Representative Meltzer of Bridgeport, Representative Murphy of Danbury, Representative Bingham of Naugatuck, all Democrats, and by Representatives Whiton, Chandler, Huntington, Magee, Etheridge, Re- publicens.
 The final vote showed that the mem bers were split slong political lines. The surprise down Fairfield county way was the vote of Stiles Clark, Democrat, of Monroe He was set down as a sure vote for the Judson bill, especially after it had received the approval of Governor Baldwin as to its constitutionality. The senti- ment of Monroe is distinctly favorable to a real efficient bill, and MT. Clark has never at any time publicly or pri- vately as far as has been learned in dicated any intention of not standing by the minority bill.
 His position in the eyes of his Dem ocratic colleagues in Fairfield county is indefensible Some of them openly expressed their feeling and said they regretted that they had voted to make him county auditor.
