 Operation Postponed.
 Contrary to expectation William L. Cooke of Hough street, who is patient at the Hartford hospital, did not undergo an operation to remove an abscess yesterday. The physicians at the hospital took three x-ray photo graphs to determine the exact nature of his illness.
 Dr. Swett, the noted specialist, was called in consultation with Drs Me- Knight and Lampson, to examine the young man. He decided that the ab- scess had not infected the young mans spine and that the operation could be held immediately.
 Owing to the absence of Dr. Me- Knight, however, the operation was postponed until this morning.
