.MARcoNI PLANT AT
 sIAscoNsETT CLOSED
Because It. Declined to Recognize
 Right of Federal Censorship.

Washington, Sept. 25.-By order of President Wilson, as commander in chief of the army and navy, the wire less station of the Marconi company at Siasconsett, Mass, was closed to- day because 1t declined to recognize the right of the federal government to exercise a censorship over the plant.
 The navy department took no cog. nizance of the fact that the Marconi company had filed in a federal court an application for an injunction to re- strain the naval officers from closing or censoring the station. Although 1t appeared as if the wireless company might compel the naval officers to ex- ercise force. the company finally de- cided to offer no resistance and the station was closed at p. m.
 The navy department made public tonight the telegrams that had passed between the department and Ensign E. B. Nixon, in charge at the Siasconsett station, as well as the opinion of At torney General Gregory on the legality of the action.

sion to George Forster, of Vernon, today. the vote being 22 to 12. While number of the members of the con- mittee were absent they were repre- sented by proxy holders and the lack of one vote to represent the full membership of the committee was due to the vacancy in the second district. The filling of the vacancy was one of the matters before the committee.
 P. B. O'Sullivan of Derby. recently named secretary of the committee when E. s. Thomas became a federal judge, was chosen as secretary, and Louis D. Stoddard of this city treas urer.
 Meeting Was a Long One.
 The committee meeting was a long one. Albert Phillips, of Stamford, holding proxy for Galen s. Carter, was temporary chairman. The first matter taken up was that of organi- some for MT. Fitzgerald and others for Mir. Forster. In behalf of the former it was argued that the wishes Of Governor Baldwin as the nominee for senator should be the guiding fac tor.
 Opposition to Fitzgerald.
 Opposition to MT. Fitzgerald on the part of some speakers was based upon assertions that he had represented
 
 ture in a manner which laid his course open to the charge that he had been a lobbyist. Other speakers replied to this by claiming that MT. F1tzger- aid as an attorney had a right to ap- pear. before legislative committees and in doing so every one had an oppor- tunity to know just where MT. Fitz- gerald stood and in whose interests he was advocating.
 Another speaker 0ncmed that no charge could be brought against MT Fitzgerald that he was an attorney for the New Haven road because it was a known fact that he frequently appeared in behalf of labor interests and in opposition to corporation in- terests.
 For MT. Forster it was claimed that he had shown his ability by guid- ing the party to victory two years ago and that he was entitled to a. reelect- ton.
 The vote electing MT. Fitzgerald was by roll cali.
 The secretary was elected by the chairman casting a single vote MT He made an acceptance speech, say ing he realized the responsibility that reposed upon him.
 Stoddard Treasurer on First Ballot.
 On the treasurership 1t was propos- ed to elect J. A. Hyines of Water bury. but Kenneth Wynne. of New Haven, the executive secretary, made plea for an outsider, saying opinion was held that the treasurer should be g. business man of prominence who would be in touch with those who would be willing to contribute to the campaign fund and who are not di- rectly concerned in politics. He of- fered the name of Louis B. Stoddard of New Haven, and MT. Stoddard was chosen, 22 to Il. Mir Hynes moved to make the choice unanimous and this was done.
 Contest In Second District.
 The contest for committeeman from the second district between c. J. Dill lon, who was on the committee, and J. A. Burns, was taken up.
 After a long debate the state oen- tral committee decided to refer the contest back to the district primary, to be held October l, The senator ial primaries are to be held on the same day, It was generally felt that if the state committee decided the Issue. bad feeling might be engend- cred.

FRENCH FIRING TuRPINITE,
 CAUSES PAINLESS DEATH
Instantaneous Death for Everything
 Within It's Reach.

Within It's Reach.
 Correspondence of The Associated
 Press)
 London Sept. 17-Remarkable tales of novel engines of war are appear ing in all parts of Europe, but noth- ing has yet equalled the reports cir culGted concerning new guns used by the French in firing turpinite, a sub stance said to produce instantaneous and painless death for every living thing within it's reach.
 Although it is so deadly in it's work, turpinite cannot be objected to 'on the ground that it violates humane principles of war. In fact it is so humane that it must not be confused with lyddite and other explosives which have deadly fumes.
 English correspondents have re- ported htat entire lines of German sol- diers stood dead in their trenches as result of the fumes from the myster- ious turpenite discharged by the French in engagements along the Marne. The dead Germans are re- ported to have maintained standing posture and retained their rifles in their hands, so sudden and tragically peculiar was the effect of the new weapon. Instantaneous paralysis is said to have been caused by turpinite. The French gun for the use of tur- pinite is shrouded in as great mys tery as turpinite itself. Experts are re- quired, it is said, for the use of the new ammunition and the manipulation Of the strange gun so recently brought into use in battle.
 Military experts are now speculating whether .turpinite will lend itself, to use in aeroplanes. Lyddite Is said to be available for the use of military aeroplanes and Zeppelins. AS Zeppe- lins are capable of carrying guns of o0nsidera hle size if is cnDcejya hle ffey might utilize turpinite. However, in the present war military experts do not expect to see any of France s enemies discover enough about tur- pinite to initiate its gas and the guns necessary for its use.
