 WHOLESALERS

T aI
 Harryord, Conn, Dec. 20-CUpJ --The State Liquor Control Coni- mission, 1t was learned to-day, is considering the probability of pros ecuting wholesalers and rnanifact- iirers who sold liquor to permit holders after September whose licenses had terminated July 1.
 The matter was discussed at a meeting yesterday without develop ing c definite course of action. Con- sideration was taken because of an attorney generals opinion that re- tailers who sold liquor after that date were liable to criminal prose- cution.
 The period between July 1 and September 1 was commonly called the twilight period" because of a disagreement whether licenses ex- piring on the former date could be held in effect until the control cofl- mission established It's new setup Sertember 1 due to new regulations governing the sale Of liquor by the drink.
 Further conferences. 1t was lin- derstood, would be held before Q decision is announced.
