VOTE ON LIQUOR
 HOLDS INTEREST IN MANY TOWNS
License Question Before Electorate Today in
 "Smal1 Town" Contests

New Haven, Oct. 4.-In all but nine of the 168 towns of Connecticut the so-calIed little town elections are taking place today, the voters in addi- ton to selecting town officers and de- ciding various questions of town fi- nance or policy, passing also on the proposed amendment to the state con stitution concerning the mileage al- 1owance of members of the General Assembly. Fifty-o1ie towns also are voting on the license question, and in Bristol, New London and Norwalk city elections are being held.
 The proposed amendment, which has been approved by the General As senb1y and needs only ratification by popular vote to become law states that the General Assembly may pro- vide by law for the transportation of each member by public conveyance by the most convenient route between his home station and the place of meeting during the session or sessions of the General Assembly to which he was e1ected.''
 The license question was expected to bring out a large vote in the town where it comes up. In Midd1etown. Winsted and Bristol strong campaigns have been waged,x the local temper to put them in the dry column, while the license advocates in the latter have been working hard to make it wet territory again.
 There was additional interest in Winsted because today, marked the passing of the corporate borough of Winsted and onsolidation of borough and the town of Winchester, of which Wfnsted is a part, under a new form of administration which is described as a sort of onnission government, the heads of the town consisting of five se1ectmen, who will name their own chairman or first seIectman.
 East Hampton, formerly the town of Chatham, votes today for the first time under it's new designation.

FOUR SERIOUSLY HURT AS AUTO
 HITS TROLLEY

Waterbury, Oct. 4.-Benjamin Nel- son. Edward Law and Joseph Brady, all of Middletown, were injured per haps fatally. when the automobile in which they were riding this morning ran into Green line trolley car. All three were unconscious for three hours in St. Mary's hospital where they were taken. Nelson and Law were in Waterbury in a mistaken be- lief that today was election day and that they must be here to cast their vote, they being Waterbury citizens and still retaining their residence while working in MiddIetown.
 Brady was the driver of the ma chine. Nelson suffered from severe lacerations, scalp wounds and concus- sion of the brain. Law from bad scalp wound and concussion of the brain, and Brady from fractured right leg and abdominal injuries. The ac- cident is said to have been due to the unfamiliarity of Brady with the pecp- liar characterNof the road at the point of collision which necessitates a sharp turn.
 When making. this the car with brakes set hit the trolley in the fog.
