tempt to tour Connecticut or New Jersey

reply TO a request for information that
the Nutmeg state cannot permit any New
York motorist TO operate upon the public
highways OF Connecticut on or after to-
day displaying 1913 markers This also
applies to New Jersey motorists touring
Connecticut.
Colonel Cornell stated that the blame
for the delay I'm obtaining 1914 markers
lay with tire Bureau OF Efficiency and
Economy, which held up the contracts for
their manufacture until late in October of
last year, when they were usually award
ed IN August.
Secretary Of state Mitchell May yes

Bertha Kline, who said she was in Mrs
Emore's home on the night Mrs. Elmore
said Egan and Seery called, told the court
she had never seen the three before and
that Egan and Seery were not the men
who were at Mrs. Elmore's. She said

Mrs. Becker"
