 Hull Hearing Today
 Hearing on the contested caucus, held week ago in Burlington, took place this morning in the superior court in Hartford before Judge Newell Jennings, when George w. Hull wcs heard on his protest on the legality of the meeting. It was asserted by MT. Hull that a check list was called and when the caucus proceeded. everyone ignored that vote. As a result some of the votes should not have been cast. One voter was even declared to have been a non resident. Judge William J. Malone, Judge Joseph M. Donovan and Attorney William Egan of Hart ford represented MT. Hull at the hearing, which had been asked to prevent the names of the men, chosen at the alleged illegal cau- GUS, from being placed on the Mo- vember election ballots. At the eau GUS, Mir.
