 Mayor by Ten Votes
 Little towns and some large ones yesterday held their annual meetings at 4S or them the interest centered In the vote on the license question. In effect the vote was in AS of the towns as in the Stony Creek district fof Branford a no-license vote was cast which however did not change the town from the license column. The temperance people got the better or the argument by a net gain of two towns, including Stonington. which through clerical error in the third voting district has been recorded as a license town but which upon cor rected figures today will be in the no-license column.
 The towns which swung from no- license to license were: Killingly, Litchfield, Griswold, Canaan and Xiii lingwOrth, while, those places which went from wet to 'tdry'' were: New Canaan, Cornwall, Plymouth, New Hartford, Chester, Bolton and Ston- ington (on corrected returns.)
 The elections give the no license column 95 towns, and license 73 as compared with 93 no-license last year and 75 license, and 76 license and 32 no-iicense in 1909. k
 The towns also voted with one or two exceptions on the two constitu- tional amendments passed by the gen. eral assembly the first being to give the Lieutenant Governor the full power of the Governor in case of dis ability. and placing a limitation, on the length of the sessions of the leg islature, and both of these amend towns could do it by a vote which is fully 12 to 1. The cities which are yet to vote on the amendments rep resent about forty per cent. of the electorate of the state but with the overwhelming vote for the amend ments their ratification is assured.
 The vote of the towns follows:
