LEGISLATORS IN
auto race TRAIN
Dash TO New Castle and
Overtake Delaware Rail-
- road Accommodation
CLAIM FRENCH STREET
STATION CLOCK WRONG

Several members OF the Legislature
and some business men missed the
S.19 o'clock Delaware railroad train
for Dover this morning because Of
their reliance on what they assert
was a slow running clock in the
lobby of French street station.
The Delaware road train from
Philadelphia had pulled into the sta
ton and had been announced, bur a
large group OF the legislators and
some men who desired to attend the
Workmen's Compensation hearing lOi-
tered about, they claiming the clock
was several minutes slow. The Della
ware road train was pulling out when
they discovered the mistake in time.
Legislators and others who we're on
the platform where the train pulled
in got to Dover all right, but about
dozen men who we're waiting down
stairs missed the train.
Representatives Downward, McNabl
and Boyce, and Robert G. Haman
counsel for the Legislature, were amonl
thosI who missed the train. They I'M
mediately hired an automobile an,
scoHed at the speed limit in a dash t.
New Castle, where they arrived IN TIM
TO board the train.
Officials at French street station sal,
that while the clock might not have beel
correct to the second, they did no
know it had varied TO any appreciabl
extent from the right time.
