Activities of the republican ad- ministration were attacked by Harry l., Brooks of New Haven, democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, at a rally, last night in United Hall on Main street. The candidate com pared the preceding democratic ad- ministration with that which fol- lowed, claiming that under Wilson more money was appropriated and honestly handled through govern ment agencies than in all the ad- ministrations that preceded his.
 Attorney s. Gerard Casale, demo- cratic nominee for state senator, dis cussed the rotten borough" system He called attention to the fact that there are 50 towns in Connecticut, each with & population of 5000 that are allowed two representatives, which is the same number as in New Britain, and there arc II towns each with a population of less than 1000 that have two representatives. The town of Union with 257 inhabitants has one representative, This gives an elector living in Union the same voice in the assembly as 600 cleo tors in the city of New Haven possess.

This would have made 1t possible for hiln to effect \ quick change in costume immediately aftv CT his escape from tho store on the arrival of the police.
 The gray overcoat that he wore when he was seen at the Davidson & Leventhal store Saturday after noon and when he is alleged to have removed the screws from the lock on the door, was found in tho store by the police. evidently having been left by the bandit when he made his escape from the front door Of the store. and in one of the pockets was found the screw driver, very small one. which he is alleged to have used in removing the screws. It is reported that the manufacturers and dealers labels had been removed from the coat.
 The theory that there was moro than shean anI Chapman involved in the break at the local store is given considerable crcdence by the local police. The open manner In which Chapman and shean were working In the rear of the store gives rise to the belief that they had a lookout stationed in front of the store, This brings back the theory that woman accompanied them here. for there was man and woman standing outside the store when Chapman emerged after shooting Policeman Skclly, and the police have. so far been unable to learn their identity.
 When engaging rooms at the Old Colony Inn in Meriden on Saturday night, both shean and Chapman en- gagged double rooms, shean claiin- ing his companion refused to oc- cupy' the same chamber with him.
 It was learned from Springfield today that Chapman, under the name of Waldo U. Miller, which he used on all his visits to that city had posed as q securities salesman when he visited there. It is thought by the Springfield police that he chose to associate with shean be- cause, being a friend of the son of wealthy and influential parents, a. shean was, placed him above suspicion.
