ELECTION HELD
 IN RHODE ISLAND

Richmond, R. T., Feb. 8-(UP)-' Republicans pointed today to re- suits of a special election here as indicative of a trend from demo- cratic control of Rhode Island. Ray L. Oatley, republican, polled 4i2 votes against 242 for his democratic opponent Harold 0. Burdick in yesterdays election for seat in the lower house of the legislature. The election was held to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of Rep- resentative Updike c. Mowrey. who in 1884 defeated Burdick by the scant margin of 37 votes.
 Although Richmond is normally republican. some political observers believed the increase in plurality might show a veering from the present administration.
 A referendum will be held March 10 on the question of holding g constitutional convention. Repub- licans and old-line democrats ops pose the convention to change Rhode Islands colonial constitution

CONNOR ORDERS
 AGENCY CLOSED
100 Local Aut0ists May Lose Membership Fee;
 Complaints Led to It

At least 100 Waterbury auto own- CTS, 1t was estimated today, had sub- scribed to membership in the Mer- cantile Detective Agency auto serv- ice company, which was ordered out of business yesterday by Commis- sioner Michael A. Connor of the motor vehicle department. The lo- cal residents who paid for their memberships are apparently now left holding the well known "bag."
 Suspension of the company's op- erations is the result of an original complaint brought by tho Water- bury Chamber of Commerce some months ago, in which several serious charges were lodged against the concern. Commissioner Connor's order followed two hearings, at which the company had no repre- sentativcs.
 It is believed that the agency dis- posed of some 4,000 service contracts to Connecticut car owners during the time that 1t operated here. Con- tracts were sold at $i6 each. Complaints were heard here and elsewhere that the agency failed tt live up to It's part of the agreement in regard to services that 1t would give to motorists. Secretary Frank Green of the Chamber of Commerct began an investigation and later lodged complaint against the con- cern. Under regulations, the agency posted $l0,000 as collateral to secure 0 license.
 Louis J. Well, of Norwalk, now of parts unknown, was connected with the company in this state orig inally. It was later revealed that the concern had dummy officials and that Well and Connie" Lewii of Bridgeport were still the domi. hating figures.
