 Hartford. March 5.-Figures cornpi- led at the state hea1quarters here of the state headquarters of the Connec- tfcut Bureau of Military Census and made public this morning. which in clude all returns received up to 6 p. III. Saturday, show that 240,751 census blanks have been completed by the towns of the state and have been re- ceived and checked up at the head quarters. The estimates of the special committee of assistants to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb for the r1iliary census call for 162.044 more returns as the number yet to be received
 The most complete report yet given out by the state headquarters is this one which was made public this morn, ing. Tn it the towns and cities are divided into five groups as follows: cent complete: towns between 50 and 75 per cent. complete and towns 25 per cent. complete.

 The figures show that the excess of returned DIanKS over the neaOquarteTS estimate in the sixty towns estimated complete to date is S.97o. North Ha-- ven and Hampton have notified the state Headquarters that their complete returns have been forwarded to Hart ford, although they have not yet been received. The following towns have notified that their work would be com plete on the dates given:
 The state headquarters announced today that it can handle the returns as fast as towns and cities can send them to Hartford. and urged that blanks be sent as fast as local commit tees receive them rather than having the returns held up until a large batch is accumulated to forward. In this way, the force of 100 or more workers at the state headquarters can be kept busy at all times with the tabulating tasks, rather than having a rush one day and a dearth of work the next.
