IrO11eys Far Ahead
 Of Jitneys Tn Vote

The trolleys are leading today with a vote of 515 to 327. Here are some of the remarks:
 "I don't like those hobo jitney drivers"
 MT. Storrs, don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Start the trolleys at once in Bridgeport
 "I dislike the jitney buses, they are mostly old shacks."
 Hurry up. You, the mayor s committee, get the tro1leys back Transferring from one jitney to another costs five cents more each time. Worse than the zone sys- tenn"
 "we want the trolleys back,they are clean and safe. If the mayor should become governor Of the state, goodby trolleys all over the state. It would tickle him to death to see us ridin g to town in ash carts. What do the people want with such a governor?''
 Give us back the trolley. these people that favor filthy jitneys show what surroundings they were brought up in."

KNlGH IS' GIFT TO
 FRANCE
Supreme Knight Flah- erty of K. of C. Makes Speech of Presenta- ton - Many Notable Events Described In Bas = Relief - F o c h Given Baton.

Metz, Aug. 21-Through Supreme Knight James A. F1aherty, the Knights of Columbus formally pre- sented a statue of Lafayette to France today. An immense Ameri- can flag brought by the visiting Knights draped the base of the statue. The flag was slightly damage in transit and had been mended by Ma dame Mil1erand, wife of the French premier.
 A baton was presented to Marshal Foch by Supreme Knight F1aherty.
 In accepting it the marshal said:
 America and France long fought for liberty and they will continue to protect liberty throughout the world. .'
 In formally presenting the gift of the statue of Lafayette to France to- day, Supreme Knight Flaherty said: "This noble figure of a French mo- bleman denotes more eloquently than I can say the nature of this gift from the Knights of Columbus to the Re public of France in memory of our the liberty that Lafayette and Wash ington fought for and won might be preserved to the world.
 Here, by this single figure in bronze, with the bas-reliefs of Amer ican marble, we see Columbus, the patron of the Knights of Colunn bus, in the act Of discovering America, we see President Wilson declaring be- fore the American Congress in 1917 that the lost provinces of France must be restored before peace comes to the world, we see General Persh- ing at the tomb of Lafayette and we see Marshal Foch on the field of battle prophesying victory to mem bers of our order. In this statue we have come to show you that the heart of America beats for France and that we Knights of Columbus, as Catholic citizens of America, desire l by this memorial, to commemorate l forever the holy bond of union in the | cause of freedom sealed by the blood 1 of our hero Idead.'

 Aiding In The
 Wilson Boom
Opponents of Mayor Say That They Have the Votes at City Conven- tion.

When the Republican City conven- tion is held at the First District Re publican club rooms, 2S0 State street, next Friday night the anti Wilson men say they will present 21 votes to 15 for Wilson for the gUbernatorial nomination. The Wilson followers claim that when the convention is held that the anti-Wilson forces will not be able to collect more than ten votes Mayor Wilson is confident he will be given the nominate
 Just at the present time there is an abundance of politics being played throughout the state. and it is said that Frank Brandegee is very favor able toward the nomination of Cliff ford B. Wilson because the senator wants to tie up with an avowed champion of woman suffrage and Wilson is the only man to tie up with.
 By throwing his support to the Will son ticket, the latter will give him strength when it comes to the cleo .tion in going before the suffragists of the state who claim Brandegee was one of the chief obstructio onists on the suffrage question in this state and in Washington.
 Last night in the Second District where there was hot opposition, the Wilson forces won out by a vote o1 124 to 99. The independent forces put up a lively contest. In the Fourth District the delegates are all anti Wilson men, while in other districts the delegates are said to be un- pledged.

STATE WILL HAVE SIX C0NCRESSMEN
 IN NEW CENSUS

Washington, D. G., Aug. 21.-Con- necticut's. total population under the decennial eensus now being compiled is approximately 1,313,465. The state therefore, stands entitled to a new representa- tive in Congress. and in that event it will regain the six-man delegation it had in the national house of representatives a century ago.
 Official figures on Connecticut's to- tai population are not yet available at the census bureau. but official re- turns already announced give assur- ance that Connecticut will get a sixth representative if the present appor- tionment ratio is maintained-211,S SIT inhabitants for each congressman. To be entitled to six representatives on this basis Connectfcu*s population would have to be 1,271,262.
 The total population of Connecti- cut in the 1910 census was 1.114.- 756. The increase in population for the preceding 10-year period was 206, ,336 The estimated increase du. L ing the last ten years was 22S.S09.

 PORTLAND VAULT

Portland, Conn.,, Aug. 21-Appear- ing suddenly in front of George F. Cramer, cashier of the Portland Ma tional Bank, who was at his desk, at 1O:30 g. m. today four men with revolvers drove him into the bank vault and a few minutes later put Oliver Ellsworth, treasurer of the Freestone Savings Bank, which is in the same building, in the vaa1lt be- side him. and closed the doof. The robbers gathered up in almost simul- taneous action whatever paper money, was in sight in the vault and in the banking rooms, disdaining coin, and left. They jumped into a large automobile which was outside and were off towards Glastonbury. before any one nearby realizing what had happened. The holdup and rob- bery would have been a silent affair had not the men discharged their revolvers in and out of the bank building before departing. Some cit izens say that there were as many as twenty-five shots fired.
 It is quite possible that the men got little money.
