In the superior court in New Lon don on "Wednesday a motion for non suit was granted in the case of Mi chael Seretto. a. Boston contractor, against Charles H. Schwaner and his son, Charles H. Schwaner, Jr. The suit was for S4,000 damages for al- leged fraud in transfer of property in Bank street in payment of contract
 Seretto claims that he did some construction work on property owned by the Schwaners in Montauk avenue, laying out streets. etc, in 1910, and that he was offered deeds to property in Bank street as security in payment. alleged. in that there was equity in the property, although he had been told that there was only one incum- brance of $3.000 in favor of the Ma riners Savings bank and that the equity was sufficient to pay the plain tiff.
 On the stand Seretto stated that in 1911 he laid out streets. laid walks and did other work, amounting to ap- proXimately $7,500. This amount was reduced to $5,000 by cash payments and on Oct. 3. 1911. he was given a promissory note for this amount. The note was reduced $1.000 when 1t came due 30 days later. leaving a balance of $4,000.
 Ills was asked by c. H. Schwaner, IT,, if he would renew the note and Seretto told him that he needed the money and could not renew unless he were given some security. Schwaner offered him a deed to property in Bank street, adjoining the Redden building, informing him that there was only one mortgage of $3,000 ana that there was. enough equity remaining to pay him his balance.

SOLDIERS IN STATE MUST VOTE HERE
Vote in Home Towns Will Automati- calIy Cancel Their Soldier Vote.

If the Connecticut militiamen now remaining on the Mexican border cast their votes by the ballots brought to them by the voting commissioners and return to Connecticut before the day of election, they will be required to vote in this state to have their votes counted. By voting in their home towns they will automatically cancel their border votes. The 'Vote for Sol- diers" act, which was passed at the special session of the general assem- bly last month, says that electors in the military service of the country who are absent from the state on cleo tion day will have the right to vote. The act definitely specifies that the electors will be allowed to vote be- cause of their absence while in the military service But militiamen who are home on election day will have to vote at home. This is the, tnterpre- tation which was placed on the action of the general assembly by Attorney George E. Hinman.
 Col William C. Cheney of South Manchester and Christopher L. Avery of Groton. the two commissioners ap- pointed by Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb to take the vote of the Connecticut National Guardsmen on the Mexican border, will leave Friday to carry out the requirements of the acts passed last month at the special session of the general assembly. Colonel Cheney conferred with the governor Tuesday and made final arrangements for the trip.
 Deputy Secretary of State Richard J. Dwyer gave the orders to the prin- ters to prepare the ballots. The bal lots will be done up into i've parcels. each parcel representing a congress sional district. This is in accordance with the statute passed at the special session. The secretary will give the commissioners a supply of ballots that will be large enough to meet all pos sfble contingencies, The possibility | that the Second infantry will not have left the Mexican border before the ar rival of the commissioners IS being taken into consideration. The mern- bers of the two batteries. one from Stamford and the other from Branford. will also be visited by the commits sioners arrive there will be about 300 Connecticut militinamen who will need ballots on the border. Every Connec- ticut unit which was sent to the Mex ! lean border has now been ordered home with the exception of the two batteries mentioned above. The latest 1 home orders have been received by tn First field company, Connecticut Sig nal troops. Whether they Twill have left the border before the commission CTS arrive Is problematica1

GREENPORT MEN WERE
 NEW LONDON GUESTS
Long Island Chamber of Commerce Members Made Trip in Speed Launch,

No ocean greyhound yet has cleaved the waters of Long Island Sound as did a drab- submarines shaped motorboat that skipped in to New London like a will the -wisp We'd nesday morning from Greenport, bear ing it's manufacturer and designer, Capt. c. P. Brigham. President W. 4. Loeser of the Greenport Chamber of Commerce and 15 members or that or sanitation. In little more than an hour the strange-1ooking craft, like in every detail to it's mates which to the number of 38. have been used by hostile submarines over the Black sea, covered the 25 miles between this port and Long Island.
 The unofficial title Of the speed boat is given by Captain Brigham as Chingachgook. Officially. he states, she is known as No. 10 of the U. s. patrol squadron. While it is a matter of common knowledge that the prirn- ary object of the construction of this type of launch is the chasing or sub- marines, Captain Brigc%za adds that for purposes of neutrality so far as foreign consumption is concerned the correct title is fast cargo boat.
 Mayor Ernest D. Rogers and Secre- tary John Humphrey were in waiting to greet the visitors and after an ex-
 
 the launch and in one minute and a half by stop watch, were landed at the wharf of the New London Shin and Engine Co. After inspecting the plant, the voyage was resumed to the submarine base and thence 10 the state steamship terminal. where Res fdent Engineer Waldo F. Clarke acted as guide for the party. At 12.3O the return trip was made.
 The Chingachgook attracted nucf attention along the water front. She is 50 feet long. 10 feet beam and has a draft of three feet. Her remark able speed is obtained from the 200 horse power gasoline motors Beside a crew of eight, she carries a. supply of 720 gallons of gasoline. Captain Brigham is president of the Greenport Basin and Construction Co.,, which as stated, has constructed 3S similar boats during the past two years fol the use of the Russian government The boats are taken under their owr whence they are hoisted intact or board a steamship, bound for some where or other. Two launches are carried On each transport.
 At 1 o'clock the GTeenport visitors were the guests of the New Londor Chamber of Commerce at an appetiz ing luncheon at the Mohican hotel.
 The post prandial exercises, over which Mayor Rogers presided, were wholly informal. Afterward the visi tors were driven about the city in au- tomobiles to the principal points o1 interest, including Connecticut College for Women. The return trip to Green port was started at o'clock.
