The petitien of Ella Parsons Korf- mann Of 6s Garden street. Hartford daughter of MR. and Mrs. James B. Parsons, Sr., of this city. for adj vocee from Paul Korfmana of Hart feed charging that her husband concealed from her the fact that he was n epileptic when she married 'Ytt9 as denied by Judge Waldo .srs. in tho superior court yester' fsz. t is understood that Mrs xo, tr...nn.s counsel. Thomas Y. Me reoao. si of this city. will carry the ,.- to the supreme court of errors
 claim that the question ot residence involved is an important one in the determination Of future divorce cases.
 Mrs. Korfmann was divorced and married in Yucatan within three days, She divorced her first hus- band, William Lay of Westf1eld Mass, on November 3. 1925. In the city of Merida, Yucatan, after hay ink expressed her ''volition" to do SO Three days later, November 6. while "in transit" she married Korfmann in the same city. Her marriage cer' tiflcate describes marriage as the voluntary union of . man and woman, based upon love-dissoluo'e through the medium of divorce.
 The petitioner. a tall blonde IT her early thirties, testified. and in' troduced supporting evidence thai her husband was frequently subJecl to fits of epilepsy. which had a pao effect on her health.
 Judge Marvin wrote no memoran dunn of decision in denying the pet' ton, although he commented on the case. He declined to comment or the legality of a Yucatan divorce a' a general question and made cleai that he was avoiding the question entirely. He gave his reasons 1o' denying the petition. as follows:
 Tt seems to the court that If the narties to this marriage had resi- dence in Yucatan in November 1s2' such as would give the courts or tha' republic jurisdiction of the case. Una residence must have interrupted he' continuous residence in Connecucu so that she cannot show continu ous residence here of three years which our law requires.
 Asked to comment on the leEaiit! of the Yucatan divorce in this case Judge Marvin said:
 "Our supreme court and the court of this state have insisted that whti' a certain amount of credit is to o' riyen to the judicial proceedings Q another state or country. it must p' shown that the court in which thos' proceedings were had, acquired som iuri.diction of the parties either b residepce or by actual notice to tn defendant This was not snow here.s
 Without offering any comment 10 E publication. Judge Marvin called at tention to the basis of the Yucata marriage of the korfmanns. as 1t recited in the marriage certificate:
 Marriage k the voluntary uniol of . man and woman based upol love, for the formation of home. dis soluble through the medium of di vorce, which can be decreed upol petition of both spouses. or of onl one of them; that the man and tn woman are bound to maintain mu tual consideration and affection 10 each other: that the state intrust the education of their children t them, therefore it is their duty t educate and love them. making c them lava biding citizens"

Ttotzlky On Way

Berlin, Jan. l8 (UP) - Leon Trotxky. erstwhile co-dictator of the Russian empire. was on his way to- day to lonely banishment on the Chinese frontier of Turkestan. said . Berliner Tageblatt Moscow dis patch.
 The Tageblatt's usually well-in- formed Moscow correspondent de. clared that Trotxky. shorn of all power. left Monday night to take an obscure governmental post at Vjerny.
 l. His departure meant that the government had been able to force him to take the punishment meted out to him for opposing tho nov dominant 6talin faction.
 Before Trotxky left Moscow. the Tageblatt correspondent reported obtaining an interview with him.
 "The revolutionary tide has been ebbing since 1922" Trotxky was quoted as saying. But it will rise again. The spring elections in vari- ous European countries will show a drift toward radicalism. At frs: the socialists will benefit. But they will not be able to stem the tide which finally will how over them toward communism.

Disregard Late Returns

These considerations of afford ing opportunity for review by the courts have entered into the con clusion that the Clerk may can yass and compile returns for Di visional offices up to the time he receives the certificate from the Secretary for Territorial offices but that if he undertakes to cor rect on the basis of the belated returns, the certificate sent by him to the Secretary after the canvass more than 45 days after election, it becomes the duty oi the Secretary to disregard such supplemental or amendatory cer tificate."

party candidates were concerned It is entirely possible, he admit. ted. that this may result in some voters being disenfranchised, but that he sees as misfortune which no law can guard against. and it is patently necessary that a time limit be fixed for receiving and counting votes if the elections are to be conducted.
 Postponement Not Justified
 Tt is quite plain to me-" the Attorney General wrote. that it is the intention of the statute that the Clerk should hold the re- turns 45 days before canvassing, unless sooner he is convinced that all returns have arrived, or that those which are missing would not change the result. With these qualifications expressed in the statute it Is the duty of the Clerk to canvass as soon as possible Delay of the returns does not justify or authorize a Clerk to postpone canvassing beyond the 45th day after election. The sta ute is also imperative that i'm mediately after completing the canvass the returns before him the Clerk shall certify the same to the Secretary both by mail and by telegraph, and the Secretary must compile the returns of the several Clerks and certify the to- tai result back to the Clerks on or before the 18th of July" Cases in States courts are cited in sup port of the conclusions reached.
 Judicial authorities are clear. the opinion adds, that where the canyassers have performed the duty and executed their certifi- cates, the courts will not compel them to re-canvass or amend the certificates of result. Obviously, if the courts cannot compel the Clerk to canvass the belated re- turns, his voluntary canvass of such returns should not be ac- cepted by the Secretary of the Territory. Otherwise we would be in a position where the Clerk could canvass some returns if he saw fit but decline to canvass others if he felt disinclineG to da so.
 That there must be a time limit for the discharge of the ministerial functions for canvass ing, certifying and transmitting returns is obvious. The Legisla- ture has evidently undertaken to fix these time limits in the man. ner which it thought at the time best calculated to carry out the purpose of the law" To disre- gard the time limit and for the Clerk to submit from time to time such other returns as might come in after successive canvasses, it
