A once busy place. the New Brit ain Chamber of Commerce today presented a picture which almost bordered on the desolate. Where heretofore there was a scene of ac- tivity, today one solitary figure wrote letters, looked up routes for the travel bureau or in other ways contrived to continue the routine business of the office.
 There were no meetings. No com mittees seemed to be functioning. The large general office with four desks, three typewriters. a safe. whole shelves of books and a tele- phone switchboard was occupied by one person. Miss Gladys Wier, act ing secretary. stenographer and sole survivor of the wreck"
 In the general assembly room there was no activity. No one was present and there was no sign that it had been used during the day. Tabels of maps. newspapers and guide books remained undisturbed.
 Two private officers, one occupied by the former secretary, Ralph L. Gould and one by his assistant, were closed to public view and had not ben entered today.

FAVORS STATE FARMS
 IN SALE 0F PRODUCE
Sablotsky Would Limit Market to Connecti-
 cut Crops

ReStrictions governing the farm CTS market on Commercial street, one feature of which would be the elimination of all but Connecticut grown produce, are sought by Coun- cilman Samuel Sablotsly, whi will submit a resolution to that end at tonight's meeting.
 The marketplace is now designat- ed by city ordinance, but there are no laws governing practices at the spot where marketmen gather in the early hours of the day to buy or sell vegetables and fruit.
 Sablotsky favors a system some what similar to that in vogue in Hartford where a market master is in charge, assigns stalls and enforces the rules. The local market has been shifted several times because the market men have argued loudly and at length over sale prices. The City of Hartford experienced similar diff faculties and by a recently enacted ordinance overcame them in a great measure. The law passed to this end reads as follows:
 Market gardeners making sales from wagons and trucks will collect from the buyer the purchase price agreed upon before buyer shall be allowed to remove goods from such wagons or trucks.
 No buyer shall remove goods from trucks or wagons of gardeners without first paying for same.
 "A strick observance of this rule will avoid, first: loss of goods and money by seller and, second: ire quent misunderstanding by the buy CT as to purchase price, etc"

NEW YORK YACHTSMEN
 BEGIN ANNUAL CRUISE
Start Made From New London This Morning in
 Unfavorable Weather

New London. Aug. IS GP,- Americans yachting classic-the an- Eual cruise of the New York Yacht club with between 50 and 65 yachts of various sizes and classes partici- ! rating, was started from here at 1O:15 o'clock this morning, when the starting gun sent the 80 and 40 Hooters away on the first race of the cruise, one of S7 nautical miles to Newport with the navy challenge cups as the prizes for the winners of the various classics.
 Weather conditions were very un- favorable. Rain was falling heavily, and there was very little breeze, barely sufficient to hold up the sails of the yachts as they settled down on Long Island Sound and headed for leaden horizon.
 The call to get under way was sounded to the yachts at anchorage off the Griswold hotel from the committee boat, Vice Commodore Vincent Astors power yacht Nour- mahal at 9:SO o'clock, but because of the weakness of the wind. it was not until 10 o'clock that the smaller vessels reached the starting line off Southwest Ledge Light.
 Kherardi Davis, Edmund Lang and Clinton Mackenzie, comprising the racing committee for the cruise, started the sloops off from the tug Eugene F. Moran of New York. Five minutes after the first vessels were sent away the starting gun was sounded for the Sound type of ves- sels, and 10 minutes later the schooner yachts were sent across the line. Among the latter were the former America's cup yachts, Vani- tie and Resolute; Commodore w. w.

BRANDS STAR WITNESS STATEMENT AS FALSE
Girl Who Says She Was With Erling Insists He
 Is Wrong

New York, Aug. IS dp - The New York Times publishes q statement purDorting to be signed by Mrs. Jennie Wahler, 22 years old, of New Brunswick, directly contradicting the testimony of Robert Ehrling in the Ham-Mins murder case. Mrs, Wahler's state ment, the Times says, was sworn to before New Brunswick notary public August 2.
 In the statement Mrs. Wahler says that she, then single, was the woman who accompanied Ehrling on an automobile. ride the night of September II, 1922. when, he testified, he stopped his car in the lane near which tho bodies of the Rev. Dr. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills were found. Ehrling sub- stantiated the testimony of Mrs. Jane Gibson, that she was riding near the scene of the murders on that night. He said she passed his parked car. Mrs. Gibson has testi- fled to seeing the actual murders.
 Mrs. Wahler's statement says that at no time did Ehrling stop his car near the murder scene, and that she saw no one in De Russey's lane, either when they passed through it en route to Bound Brook, where, they had a soda, or when they returned about 1:3O o'clock.
 Ehrltng has refused to name his woman companion on the night of the murders, giving possible dam age to her reputation as a reason for not offering his testimony at the first investigation of the slay- lngs four years ago.
