SECOND VOTE ALSO
 AGAINST NORWICH DIVISION Minority Report Is Expected from
 House Chairman Back.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Especial to The Bulletin) | Hartford, May 4.-Mr. Back. of Kil- lingly, house chairman of the commit tee on new towns and probate districts. has for some reason not too plainly apparent, held up beyond the usual limit the unfavorable report of the committee on the Ricketson petition for the division of the town of Nor wich. Some three weeks ago the com
 ntttee decided by vote of to to make unfavorable report of the prop osition to the house. but no report has yet been made. Ever since committee action was taken effort has been made, so it is understood, to have one of the seven legislators flop to the other side, and thereby enable the house chair
 man to submit a favorable report on the separation scheme. MT. Back stated in the house Monday when there was discussion on another matter that he believed 1t the duty of all mem l bers to stand by the report of the committeeman, who had given the matter under consideration their best attention, and that he would support the committee report. Therefore, if consistent, he ought to stand by the majority report of the committee of which he is a member. on the Ricket- son petition.
 Tuesday afternoon, at the request of Mir. Back, there was an executive session of the committee on new towns and probate districts with all members present except MT. Williamson of Da- rien, who is on g. trip to Bermuda The committed is composed of thirteen members and second vote was taken on the Ricketson petition, the seven members who voted against the meas ure and in favor of an unfavorable report remaining true to what they be- lieve to be right and just. The vote was to 5 this time.
 Those voting against the division are l Senators Thompson of Pomfret and Pierson of Bristol, and Representatives Henderson of Norwich. Allen of Litch- | field Chittenden of Guilford, Wood ward of Sharon and Atchison- of Sher- man.
 Those who voted in favor are Rep resentatives Back of Killingly, Yost of Vernon, Talmage of Prospect, Revere of North Branford and Bassett of Ash ford. The latter was absent when the vote was taken several weeks ago.
 In spite of the action of the major ity of the committee it is understood that MT. Back will submit a minority report in the form of a substitute bill and perhaps make the matter the or der of the day at some session next week.
 Senator Barnes and Representatives Bailey and Henderson have been zeal ously guarding what they know to be for the best interest of all Norwich and the great majority of the people thereof, and they have been kept busy keeping tabs on the opposition If a fight is forced when the matter is in the house for action. it is intimated that the members of the house will be furnished with information ample to lead them to intelligent action.
