Attorney General Says In That Way He'll Have a Chance to Show Kings Connection With New Ha- ven Road Lobby.
BANKS, TOO, WILL
 BT GIVEN SCRUTINY
Libel Is Not All On His Side, Says Man Whose Reading of Contractors Affidavit Has Given New Signific- ance to Campaign.

Becausesit will give him a chance to definitely establish the relationship oi John T. King and the New Haven Ilrailroad in the halls of legislation, At torney General John H. Light said to- day he is grateful to MT. King for hav- ing Instituted the $50,0 ,000 libel suit growing out-of Lights reading of Con tractor B. N. Boards ten per cent '' affidavit.
 MT. Light said he was glad, too that he would have a chance to go into the Legislative career of Elnlore S. Banks, counsel for King. and author of the Banks amendment to the pub lie utilities bill, in the interest of which Light changes King was active in the legislature
 on his side, but that MT. King has at tered statemeu w1sszfi correctly reported, are IfbeIlous to him. He scoffs at the statement p11rporting to have been made by King, that Light sought to influence King to lead an organization of Republicans for Fair field county
 MT, Light authorized the following statement:
 s.on my return from the eastern part of the state, I found awaiting me, copies oT1f the Bridgeport papers containing the complaint which MT John T. King has brought against MT B. N. Beard and myself for $5O,OOO damages. and a. report of the re- marks he made in public addresses concerning the same.
 CT will explain why I read MT Boards affidavit. A short time ago, MT. King made an address at a poIit- ical meeting in Bridgeport in which he said he would give $1,0OO to char ity if any one would prove that he had ever received any money from the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad company Of course he knew that money paid to the leg islative agents was not charged to them on the books of the Company and therefore he was perfectly safe in making such an offer, and he made it for the purpose of impliedly saying that he had not served the Company in the, lobby.

WILSON DENOUNCES HILLS APPEAL
 TO SECTIONAL AND RACE PREJUDICE.

During the of his speech in the Second District last night Representative Lynn w Wilson denounced the political issues follow ing language:
 My father was soldier He served in the Fifth Connecticut Volunteers. Never did [ him express any feeling for the southern soldier spect for acourageous foe In the days when politicians often tried to get votes By appealing that had grown out of the war father often said to "Such politician should be punished election day" "It is wrong" he said to try to keep country divided by waving the bloody shirt
 Now this is precisely what MT. is trying to do. Wave the bloody shirt When he falsely says the South dominates congress, and when he the ridiculous confederate soldersa that is expressly forbid by the Federal constitution-he merely trying make votes by reviying the flame of smoulderng pas siens
 There some issues un-American in their ture hateful their tendencies, dangerous them except at the risI>of political annhilation
 Appeals to religious sectional hatreds must be permitted in this country.
 Tn NorNVak, Friday evening" Mir. Hill described MT. Donovan shame and disgrace to the district nak ing yelled but perfectly clear references to Mr. Donovans antecedents and origins The purpose of appeal is to my mind unmis akable,
 'Mr Hill wants to win election by reviving sec tional passions He wants to by bringing upon the r headzcf honorable opRosent the venom of consist in hating some Americans because their origins in nation in religious institution, rather than in another.
 MT Hill says MT. Donovan is "a shame dis grace But President Wilson MT. Donovan is good man. and he wants you to send him back to congress
 sThe voters this determine whether they will believe Mir Hil who, overwhelmed by pas sion office holding resorts to such methods whether they prefer the their own great, chief magistrate at Washington"

.DONNELLY NEAR DEATH; ASSAILANT
 HELD IN SlO, 900

John Donnelly, a. former bartender employed at Cooney's, sa1oon,< Seaview and Barnum avenues, is near death at the Bridgeport hospital, as a, re- suit of being stabbed in the abdomen by John IT, Daley, assistant fore man for the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, boarding at 28 Edwin street, early yesterday morning. He is reported as being much weaker than he was last night, steadily sinking and sur geons fear that he will not live through the day. An ante-mortern statement has been taken by Captain of Detectives Arnold, in which Daley is accused of the deed. Daley was held for a hearing Saturday by Dep uty Judge Wilder at todays city court session with bonds fixed at $1o,0O0. He is charged with assault with i'm tent to kill, pending the outcome of Donnelly's injuries. The knife that Donnelly identified as the one used, was found under the table in Daley s room.
 Dai1ey says that he went out with his daughter, Saturday night, bought her @ coat and took her home Later he went to the club house of the East End Yacht club, remained there until about midnight, and then started for home. In his statement to the police he admits being somewhat under the influence of liquor. He says that he went CO tho hO1110 OA N1FS. Da1es at 153 Cowles street, to tell her that he would be unable to go to New York yesterday. A young man answered his knocking, he says. and went in side to carry a. message. When he did not return as soon as expected Daley knocked again and DonneIly answered.
 Then it\>was. Daily says. the fight started with Donnelly as the aggres- sor. Daley says that he was obliged to fight in self defense and admits that he received a terrible beating In a police cell yesterday it was found that he had received a. fractured right collar bone that was reduced by an emergency hospital surgeon

His Reference To Donovan Won't Avail Him Any thing in Town Where Both Are Known.
"Shame And Disgrace"
 Says Hill of Donovan
But Voters of District Will Not Allow Disappointed Candidates Bitter Words to Count Against Merit.
(spAcial to The Farmer:.) )


 NorwaIk. Nov. 2.-This place is seething with indignation today, an anger which has been growing since Friday evening, when Ebenezer J. Hill, exploded into a flame of wrath and made the unwarranted accusa- ton that his opponent, Jeremiah DOn- ova11. '.is a shame and a disgrace" to the town in which they both live, and to the Fourth Congressional district. Hill had diligently waved the bloody shirt, ever since he voted against the Sherwood Pension bill, claiming that the South dominates congress and al- leging that his opponent wdll vote for a bill to pension confederate soldiers.
 But until Friday evening, Hill had carefully refrained from anything in the nature of an appeal to the same issues which Governor Glynn is con fronting in New York state, nor had he attempted to throw mud at his op- ponent, by jeering at the poverty Of his youth and his antecedents.
 Hills outburst, Donovan is a shame and a disgrace,'' with it's yelled but 11nraistakabIe references to things calculated to arouse some or the grossest passions of men, was unex- pected.
 Mir. Hills best friends admit today that Hill made a, serious mistake, and they believe the effect of it wdh foe to increase Donovan's majority in this city, which he has carried several times, although a Democrat in a heav-

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
 TRIBUTE TO DONOVAN

It is real pleasure to speak for those who have stood by the cause of the people and manifested in a very practical way their support of just, progressive legislation. Ger tainly Mir. Donovan is one of these. His quality has been tested by his service. It would seem to me little more than justice to him that his constituents should return him to the House, where with heightened service he will be able to give the country the benefit of his quality more and more effectively from month to month.
 Sincerely yours,

ANGRY CYCLIST
ATTACKS YOUTH

Edwin Foust was arrested yester-
day afternoon by the local police on a
charge of assault and battery pre-
ferred against him by Chester Love
stead, a Lad of Is years. The COM
plainant claims that he was crossing
the street on the afternoon of July 5,
when Foust came along on a motorcy-
Gle, and not being warned he was I'M
able to get out of the way. Foust had
to steer his machine against the curb
ing to avoid striking the lad, and this
fact, according to Lovestead, made
the man so angry that he attacked the
boy who had accidentally gotten in
mis- way.
The case came up for hearing be-
fore Magistrate Gustafson this morn
ing, but was continued until 1850 this
evening in order that witnesses could
be secured.
