WILL CALL SPECIAL
SESSION OF ASSEMBLY
Governor Hoacomb to Determine Best
Way to Have Soldiers Cast
Their Votes.

Hartford, Dec. Ex-Governor Hol-
comb said today that the special ses-
sion of the General Assembly which
will be called to enact the legislation
necessary to authorize the taking of
the vote of Connecticut soldiers and
the manner of taking it would be held
early in March. He is at present oc-
cupied in studying a system for the
taking of the vote. He has obtained
data concerning the systems adopted
in other places. When he has made
a draft which will embody his views,
he will submit it to the attorney-gen
eral. The governor said the system
employed by Canada in the taking of
it's soldier vote was the only thing
which this state had in the way Of
precedent. Under the constitution of
the state, it is necessary that the ball
lot of the soldiers shall be deposited
at the voting place on the day of
election. He said it would be neces-
sary for the different political parties
to hold their state conventions earlier
than usual. The votes will be taken
by the federal military authorities
and it is Necessary that the ballots
shall be printed and IN their hands
early in February.

SHORTAGE OF SOFT
COAL IN CONNECTICUT CO. mn 3 = Y
Fuel Administrator Much Discouraged
Following His Conference in
Washington Saturday.

Hartford, Dec. 24.-That q shortage
of soft coal is inevitable in Connecti-
cut within the next few weeks, and
that the situation for the manufactur
ers of the state is likely to become
critical within that time is the opin-
ion of Thomas Russell, federal fuel
administrator for Connecticut and
chairman of the fuel committee of the
Connecticut State Council of Defensee,
who returned today from Washington,
where he was in conference with
United States fuel administrator Gar
field and also the members of the rail-
way war board.
Mr.. Russell was accompanied on his
trip by James J. Storrow, New Eng
land fuel administrator Together
they spent an hour and a half in con-
ference on Saturday morning with the
railway board, with the objective if
possible Of increasing shipments of
soft coal to Connecticut tidewater
ports.
The conference Saturday afternoon
with Mr. Garfield occupied two hours
and at the conclusion Mr.. Russell was
much discouraged with the outlook.
He was fearful that nothing could
be done to avert a soft coal shortage
which would undoubtedly have dis
astrous effect on the factories of the
state.
