COMMISSION BACK
 WITH SOLDIER VOTE
Cheney and Avery Return from
 Border With AZ Ballots

Hartford, Oct. 31-William c. topher L. Avery of Groton. commits eioners appointed by the governor to take the vote of Connecticut soldiers at the border returned to the state Monday ,and submitted a report to Governor Holcomb.
 The commissioners say they found Connecticut officers on detached ser vice in San Antonio, Texas, and took their votes. They also took the votes Of the artillerymen of Batteries E and F at El Paso. The commissioners visited the base hospitals at Nogales, but found no qualified voters among the Connecticut patients. The report says the soldiers were appreciative of the efforts made to allow them to vote.
 The votes of only forty-seven sol diers were taken, it being found that only that number was qualified.
 The voters were registered in towns in this state as follows:
 Stamford, IT, Branford, 12; Green wich, 5; New Haven, 3; Hartford, 1; Bridgeport, 2; Middletown, 1 South Windsor, 1; Lisbon, 1; East Haven, 1; New Canaan, 2; and Guildford i.
 
 the votes to the clerks of the towns in which the voters were registered The commissioners had a conversa- tion with General Funston. The gen. eral expressed his admiration of the Connecticut troops and said that when they were assigned to Nogales it was thought there would be serious trouble and that Nogales would be the center of it.
 The Connecticut troops were select ed for that place because of the high opinion which was held of their fit ness to cope with any difficulty that might arise. The commissioners found five men in one of the hos { ritals but none was a registered voter. II they had been a day earlier in reaching Nogales the commissioners might have taken the vote of the members of the Second Connecticut Regiment. The train containing the regiment moved out of the station just as that in which the comp1is- sioners were seated arrived.
