 LEAD FOR JOB
 IS A CAPTAIN

Lieutenant George L. Benedetti Of the Bridgeport police department
 forged ahead today in the race for the captaincy made vacant by the
 death of the late Captain George B. Coley. and all indications now point
 to the present movie censor as the man who will fill the office.
 The contest is still being hotly waged, however, with Lieutenants Patrick FIannigan, James Walker, Edward Wagner, Jr., and James Doc ley very much in the fight Usual re- ports of the dark horse continue to make the customary rounds, but-these are secuted by the wise ones'' at po- lice headquarters.
 Promotions all along the line are due at this time. but owing to the large number of candidates who are eligible for the three remaining va cancies it is impossible to make . sln- gle definite eaoice. The next regular of the Board of Police Com missioners, scheduled for November 15, will probably tell the tale.

NO Official Notification
 By Crosby Say Dealers
LOCAL LIQUOR MEN CLAIM THEY HAVE BEEN FORGED TO LOOK TO NEWSPAPERS
 FOR INSTRUCTIONS

Protests were being heard here on alI sides this morning from Bridge port liquor dealers who claim that United States Attorney John F. Crosby has not officially notified them as to the progress of the prohibition bill and especially the enforcement laws.
 Liquor men say that they are now obliged to take their orders from the newspapers as they have never re- ceived a single communication from the attorneys office at Hartford.
 It is their claim that the news papers are printing so much aboue prohibition and the reports are SC conflicting that they do not know where they stand. One minute they are closed they say, and the next they find their neighbor opening his place and they follow suit on some news paper authority.
 Such a course has gone on for four months they say, and nothing defi- nite has been told them. One man said this morning that he was going to keep open until he received the official word from an authority to close his pIace.

Dl'ys Victory Estimate
 Placed Far Too HiQh
UNOFFICIAL RETURNS FROM 59 COUNTIES SHOWED WET MAJ JORITIES ON ALI.
 FOUR PROPOSALS

Columbus, O.. Nov. 6-(By The As sOciated Press)-Late returns today from Tuesdays prohibition election in Ohio seemed to shatter the election night prediction of Secretary of State Smith that the drys had carried the four prohibition proposals voted upon by majorities ranging as high as 75,- 900.
 Unofficial returns from 59 counties, including all of the wet centers and big cities, showed wet majorities on all four proposals, and unusually large wet majorities against the Crabbe prohibition enforcement act and ratification or national prohibt- ton.
 Easing his assertion on late off cial returns from 39 counties, Secre- tary Smith said first dry victory esti- mates had been much too high. The state dry headquarters this morning admitted the probable defeat of the Crabbe bill, said the vote was very close on ratification, but Insisted that the repeal of statewide prohibition and 2.75 per cent. beer amendments had been defeated by large votes. L. H. Gibson, wet campaign manager. declared the Crabbe act oyerwhelm- ing defeated and ratification decisive ly so.
 Fairly complete unofficial returns from 5e of the ss counties gave the vets 8 lead of 14,oo0 on the repeal amendment, Of 27,O00 on the beer proposal, of 4s,o00 on ratification and of 7S.000 on the Crabbe bill
 The missing 29 counties last year gave drys a majority of 32,o0o, enough to wipe out leads on the re- peal and beer amendments. In order to overcome the wet lead of 4S,O0o or ratification, however, election experts point out that the drys would have to gain 16,o00 in the missing counties over last year. To overcome the wet lead of 900 on the Crabbe act was regarded by the experts as i'm possible

TO ARGUE CASE
 0F CITY AGAINST SCOTT TOMORROW
Friendly Suit to Decide Who Shall Pay $50 900 Damages
 In Supreme Court of Errors

Whether the city of Bridgeport or the T. A. Scott Co. must pay for dam age to the Seaside park sea wall caused by the waves during the grea. storm of October 24. 1917. is the ques- ton to be argued before the Supreme Court of Errors in this city tomorrow The city sued the Scott Co. for $50. 900 damages atfer the contractors had re- fused to repair the damage and the Supreme court will pass upon ques- tlons of law in this case. The suit has never been tried oh it's merits in the Superior court. as both sides agreed to take it to the Supreme court
 The contract was made in 1916 and provided that the Scott Co.,, which is located in New London, would erect 3,S25 feet of wall. When the job was almost finished the storm came and the high waves destroyed 1,700 feet of the wall. It Is estimated that the cost of repairs would be s46, 900. City At torney Comley claimed that, accord ing to the contract, the contractors were to repair all losses caused by rain, wind or fire. The Scott com pany denied responsibility and suit
 was brought upon the bond, which was furnished by the New Amster- dam Co. of New York, the latter com pany having been joined with the Scott company as deefndant.

BOYS CONFESS ID SETTING 8 SMALL
 FIRES IN HOUSE
Could Give No Good Reason For Their Craze For Fires

AS the result of & quiet investiga- tion the police last night caught two small boys who have confessed re- sponsibi1fty for six mysterious fires which have occurred in a double house at 36s William street within the past two months. The youngsters gave no reason for their fire bug craze other than that they wanted their mother to move away from the house.
 The residence where the fires oc- cured Is owned by Andrew Mackel. and Is occupied by George Mosher and a family by the name of Green wood. For a long time the owner and tenants were rnystif1ed by the numerous fires which have broken out in the building, but suspicion finally reverted to the children. The young started any of the blazes. but after ted that they were the guilty par ties.
 The first fire of the series was dis covered in kitchen on September 5. Two more, one a mattress blaze, broke out on October 30. Yesterday morning fremen extinguished a lively blaze under the attic floor. and yes- serday afternoon the department was again called out to quench a small blaze in the same house. None of .he fires caused any considerable damage, and it is unlikely that the fremen will be called to 36 William street again for some time.

 TO BE BROKEN

New York, Nov. 6-(By the As- sociated Press)-The strike of 40, 900 longshoremen, which has tied up port activities here for several weeks, ap- peared to have been broken today. The deciding factor, was the surren- der of the 'insurgent strikers" who promised Mayor Hylan yesterday they would return today. at the old rate of pay, pending a decision from the national adjustment commission for a re-hearing.
 The insurgents, who at one time claimed more than 10000 members of the longshorenen's union, broke with the international officers during the strike The international officials steadfast1y refused to authorize the strike and endeavored to induce the men to return.
 Within the last week, longshore- men slowly returned to work and the great congestion of shipping HSs re- lieved to some extent

DISPUTE BETWEEN MEN AND OPERATORS
 STILL DEADL0CKED
SIX PASSENGER TRAINS REMOVED FROM SERVICE IN MIDDLE NESTING MORE STATES PLEAD FOR RELIEF
 FROM SHORTAGE.

Chicago, Nov. 6-(By the As sociated Press)-The dispute between bituminous coal oper- ators and union miners which resulted in virtual cessation, of production throughout the country last Friday night con- tinued deadlocked today with leaders of both producers and miners agreed that the refusal of the department of justice to withdraw the injunction pro ceedings against officers of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica had swept away hope of immediate settlement of the strike.
 As the approximately 425, 900 miners remained idle for the sixth Cly, further steps had been taken to reduce the menace of a threatened coal shortage, already imminent in some sections.
 Six passenger trains had been re- moved from service in the middle west, and Federal Fuel Administra- tor Garfield had been clothed with full authority over prices, distribu- ton and shipment of fuel
 To the pleas of several Nebraska towns, Iowa and California added re- quests for relieving the threatened shortage The mayor of Topeka, Kas., te1egraphed B. J. Rowe, middle west coal director at Chicago, that that city was without a ton of coal in its market, and hundreds of fam flies are in immediate need"
