No Request Vet For
 Legislative Session
 On Trolley Situation
Governors Office Has Re- ceived No Formal Ap-
 plication Yet

Asked this morning if Governor HIolcomb had been approached on the subject of calling a special session of the legislature to deal with the jitney- trolley situation in this city and throughout the state, Major Buckley, secretary to the Governor, said that he had rot.
 He said: ''I do not see why any one should anticipate such an occa- sion. No information on the subject has been received in this office.'' Asked if he had heard of the action of the selectmen of the town of Manche 5ter who voted last week to send a delega- ton to the Governor 10 call a special session to deal with the jitneys, Maj. Buckley said: T read something to that effect in the papers last week but no formal notice has come to our at- tention.'
 It is believed by many that Gov. Holcomb may see in the trolleyjit- ney situation the emergency for an extra session of the legislature and if he does see it that he will include ill the call the matter of ratifying the suffrage amendment.

STATUS OF
 TROLLEY COMP ANY

On Oct. IF, 1914, the District Court of the United States for 'she Southern District of New York, ordered the New. York. New Haven X Hartford Rail- road to segregate it's trolley properties, which had been un- lawfully combined. At this time the stock of the Connec- ticut Company, $40,000,000 was held by the New England Navi- gation Company, which was also a subsidiary of the New Haven company.
 By the decree above referred to this stock was transferred to five Connecticut trustees, en- powered to exercise the full au- thority of stockholders. The decree provided that the trus- tees should endeavor to sell all shares of stock before July 1, 1919, at private sale at prices and terms to be approved by the New Haven company. Pro vision was made for an exten- sion of time for cause shown, but it was required uncondi- tionaliy.
 That all stock remaining un- sold sixty days before the date of the sale finally set by the court, should be disposed of at public auction.
 From the proceeds of such sales the expenses of the trus- tees, the balance to be paid to the New England Navigation Company.

 PLANT HAS
 BEEN SOLD

While no official confirmation of the report that the Bullard Machine Tool Company had sold their factory at the corner of Railroad avenue and Broad street to the Underwood Type writer Com pany of Hartford could be obtained this morning the rumors were prevalent among prominent bus mess men of the city that such was the case.
 Asked about the sale of the factory this morning Harry A. Burnes, real estate agent of Stratford, who is handling the sale. said the plant had been sold but he was not ready at this time to announce who had bought the place. A. H. Bu1lard of the Bullard Company would neither confirm or deny the report. It be- came known this morning that an of ficia1 of the Underwood Company was in this city last week and visited the factory. The title to the property has been searched and. announcement to the effect that the Underwood Com pany has bought the factory with the intention of making typewriters in this city will probably be made in a few days.

NO REFRESHMENTS
 OF UTILITIES HERE

Inquiry at the office of the Public Utilities office at the Capitol in Hart ford today elicited the fact that no representative of the Commission had been sent to this city to take cognizance of the jitney-trolley s1tua- ton.
 The question was asked as to what would be done in the matter of the zone tickets, which many of the peo- pie of this city had purchased in good faith, providing the suspension of the trolley service continues and the answer was to the effect that as yet no action had been taken. It was added that this question would probably come before the Commission at later date.

Resolute, Though Cross ing the Line Behind the Lipton Yacht Gets the Weather Berth and Burton Takes His Yacht Far Off the Course in a Vain Effort to Shake Her-Reso- lute Finally Takes the Lead.

The deciding race in the America cup series, begun at d2:3O today resolved itself in the early stages to a luffing match between the two skip pers. The Shamrock crossed the line first nearly a minute ahead of the Resolute but the Resolute worked to the wind ward of the Lipton racer and re- fused to be shaken from her weather beam.
 The first leg of the race was "a run before the wind for fif- teen miles but in his desperate ieffort to shake off the Resolute Capt. Burton of the Shamrock pulled his yacht over two miles off the straight course and down the Jersey coast. He was unable to get the American boat off his windward berth and the two yachts at 1 10 were as far from the outer mark as when they started.
 Unless the wind freshened dhere did not seem much likeli- hood of the race being finished on time.
 The boats continued their battle for position until 1:45 when Shamrock Eybed and stood for the outer mark. She seemed only a little ahead of the Resolute and five minutes later the Resolute took the lead away from her and with a better breeze was gaining on the challenger. When the boats gybed they were five miles off the course.
 Sandy, Hook, N. J., July 26-Good racing weather was predicted today for the final race to decide whether the cup should remain in this coun- try or take a trip abroad in custody of Sir Thomas Lipton. The course was windward and 1eeward, fifteen miles to leg which was favorable to Resolute, according to the experts
 Friends of Shamrock " were sanguine largely because of the be- lated announcement that Captain An drew Jackson Applegate would be aboard the green sloop adviser Members of Shamrock's crew express ed the belief that the second victory of the challenger was due In large part to the yachting acumen of Cap tain Applegate.
 A twelve knot breeze was blowing from the northwest with a smooth sea this morning.
 All hands aboard the cup sloops felt the inspiration that a smart sailing wind brings, and there was an early activity above and below decks, get ting canvas covers off the main sails and sending head sails up in stops
