Killed By Automobile

David Pennerey of Dayville, about6O
years old, was killed at Dayville Tues
day night by being run into by an
automobile driven by Clifford Davis
of Danielson. The car was stopped and
the occupants went to the mans assis-
lance. His heart was family beating
when he was placed in the machine
but he died before reaching a doctors
office.
Davis, Earl Wood, Ernest Tetreault,
Delor Gallichant, Jerry Doyle and
John Ruddy occupants of the car were
questioned by Coroner Bill at his office
Wednesday relative to the accident.
Judge Bill, after seeing the young
men, was not ready To say what course
he would pursue, but indicated that
Pennerey's body would be held for
thorough examination by Dir. Rienzi
Robinson, medical examiner, who is
in New York, but is expected to return
today.
In discussing the accident the young
men tell practically the same story.
Davis, who was driving the car, and
Wood, who was in the other toward
seat, told the coroner that they had not
sounded the horn in warming when APP.
preaching Pennerey. Every effort WAS
made, though, according TO the young
mems story to avoid striking the man.
In describing the affair Wednesday,
one of the party said that the car had
been practically ditched and narrowly
missed coliding with telephone pole,
as result of the drivers desperate eff
forts TO dodge Pennery.
From reports that have come in from
various sources there is little room to
doubt that Pennery was more or less
intoxicated.

New London, Middlesex, Tolland and
Windham counties, met in Whitman
tic last Friday and received reports of
the chsirmen of the town committees
and state central committeeman,
Following a dinner served by the
Womsn's Relief Corps some very in
teresting and highly satisfactory re-
ports were listened 10.

for governor, was present, and was ac-
corded a hearty reception. J. Henry

wealth, and few other guests were
present.
J Henry Roraback said 1t was the
custom TO hold business meetings at
which were discussed political condi !.
items as they existed In the various
districts, He said this was a business
meeting to hear the different reports
from the members OF the state central
committee, town committees and
others interested.
The majority of those who made the
reports showed that republican condi-
tons were much improved, that senti-
ment WAS changing and that the trend
is now toward the election of the entire
republican ticket and that In a great
many places the third party followers
were making claims of more votes
than was actually the case.
The ehairmen of Windham and Toll
land counties prophesied that Attor-
ney William A. King would run much
stronger than any other candidate on
the entire state ticket. The reports,
as whole, indicated that the republic
cans were rapidly gaining strength in
the second district.
Judge Studley told Of his campaign
ing all over the state, aud his attend
snce at just such encouraging meet
ings as this one. lie said each day re.
ports were coming in that showed re-
publican conditions generally to be
rapidly improving and that In his
opinion the republican party would
come out of the present campaign sue
cessful.
Fayette l.. Wright, candidate for
comptroller, talked upon some of the
issues of the present campaign and
voiced the opinion with confidence
that the republicans would all be
elected November 5.

summer?
The Republican party is not
doomed by any II every
man who voted for Taft In the
primaries and county conventions

party would still have as many
