 EVOKES COMMENT
MOnsignOr Duggan, Hart- ford Answers Criticism
 of Protestant Clergy

In . statement made this week Right Rev. Monsignor Duggan, rec tor of St. Joseph's cathedral in Hartford and editor of the Catholic Transcript, and other clergy score the counter-statements of 150 Pro- testant clergy in various parts of the country in regard to the Span. ish hierarchy's recent pastoral let ter. In this letter which has been widely published in this country the Spanish prelates give their view ot the civil war in Spain.
 In the opinion of Monsignor Dug gan many of these clergy could not have read the pastoral letter. Hart ford clergy who signed this counter statement are critized by Monsignor Duggan and also by Rev. Andrew J. Kelly, pastor of St. Anthony's church, according to news story in this mornings Hartford Courant The Hartford prelate expressed belief that the reply of the Pro- testant clergy failed to analyze the views of the Spanish hierarchy. Ed itors of Catholic publications in New York City also criticize the open let ter of the Protestant clergy, includ- ing Rev. Dr. Francis x. Talbot, ed- itor of America, and Rev. John La Farge, associate editor.

Attorney Maurice Robin, Repub- lican, was elected by a policeman from the Willow street flrehouse, polling place for the 9th district, this morning. He was escorted from the premises by Patrolman Paul Moynihan after he had refused to heed Moderator Frank Healey's re- quest that he leave the premises.
 MT. Healey, city court prosecutor, complained to MT. Robin that he was violating the election laws by coming within 75 feet of polling place. An argument followed, and MT. Robin refused to leave the engine house. MT. Healey then called on the policeman to eject him.
 The election laws prohibit any, one who does not hold an oficial election capacity from going nearer than 75 feet to any polling place in an attempt to influence voters.
 Elsewhere about the city there were only minor disturbances. No

LEOPOLD CASE
 IN HIGH COURT
Assistant States Attorney Fitzgerald to Oppose
 Plea of Local Man

Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald of this city will argue in the Connecticut supreme court of errors today in opposition to the plea of Louis N. Leopold for a writ of habeus corpus which would free him from his life term at the states prison in Wethersfleld. Leopold was sentenced to a life term after jury found him guilty of second degree murder.
 The charge against Leopold arose after 8 fire on Baldwin street in 1928, in which two Moynihan chil- dren were burned to death. Enthu- siasm against Leopold ran high ct that time, and whenever he was transported between courts for trial, it was under heavy police guard to protect him from possible violence.
 Leopold claims he was placed in double jeopardy" stating that the verdict of the jury was returned after they had been discharged. His plea for 8 writ of habeuS corpus was turned down by Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell who held that the jury had not been discharged but was still before the court. Leo- pold has made numerous appeals to superior, supreme and federal courts in pursuance of his cause.

 When Fusion cars called for many Republican voters, the driv- CTS were told that the persons were "out of town" This was the device used by old members of the G. o. P. to enable themselves to refuse to vote for what they termed 8 "seII out" ticket.
 Democratic leaders were jubi- lant today over the success of their rallies last night. Large crowds turned out in each in- stance, with a record crowd at- tending the rally on lower Bald win street. More than 1000 per- sons turned out for this rally, de- spite the chilly night air.

 Sale of all alcoholic liquors, with the exception of instances for medicinal purposes, was at an ab- solute Standstill here today as it has been on all election days since the repeal of the prohibition amendment.
 All taverns, grills, clubs, hotels and package stores were absolute ly forbidden to dispense any liquor whatsoever. Drug stores were de- nied the right to sell liquor unless the purchaser presented a pre- Scription.
 Grills which usually dispense liquor were open of course for the service of food, but even the presence of liquor glass on table would be sufficient evidence AOA O cVoIC AAHuOL AlSpCCJOT UO re- port the dealer to the state liquor commission.
 The Fusion party apparently does not rate very highly with employees of the Waterbury Clock Co. When employees came out from the plant at noon today there were at least 20 Fusion cars waiting to take them to the polls to vote. Not one employe entered any of the cars. The drivers, shamefaced, drove away.
 Leaders of both parties main- tained their optimism throughout the day, as the vote was being cast. Town Chairman Upson of the Republican party spent most of the morning visiting the vari- ous districts. Town Chairman John Crary of the Democrats spent most of his time at party headquarters boring over the vot- ing totals reportd to him hourly.

Election Sidelights

The tremendous interest in the election was reflected by the com- paratively small crowd in the busi- ness section of the city this morn ing. Stores about the the main streets reported little business dur ing the day as housewives stayed home to cast their votes in the election.
 Headquarters of the opposing groups in the election provided some marked contrasts. At Flu sion headquarters on Cottage place there was considerable con- fusion, though only a few workers were present At Democratic head quarters, on the other hand, everything went smoothly under the direction of Town Chairman John H. Crary. Both sides were apparently 8 bit puzzled by the extremely heavy vote during the early hours of ballOting.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach personally visited each of the voting districts on an in- spection tour. He reiterated to the members of the department his warning that violence of no kind would be tolerated. The superin- tendent was in uniform, as he was last night when he attended the rallies of both Democratic and Fusion parties to make certain that no disorders occurred.
 The unexpected heavy vote dur ing the early hours this morning caused terrific traffic jams as those who had voted flocked to work in the various sections. Traf- fife on East Main street shortly before 6 o'clock was in a Snarl. A line of cars stretched from Ex- change place to WolcOtt street. Only efficient police work made it possible for the lines of cars to flow smoothly.
 Quite a furore was aroused in several districts when Independ- ent Democrats challenged voters who had lived in the districts for many years and who were well known. These voters naturally re- sented their right to vote being questioned, and some of them

OIL REQUIREMENTS
EXPECTED TO DROP
Daily Supply of 3.491.3OO Barrels
Needed in December. Bureau
of Mines Estimates.
BY the Associated Press.

by tEe ASSOCIATED Press.
The Bureau of Mines estimated to-
day daily average supply of 349l 800
barrels of domestic crude oil would be
required to meet December market
demands
In its monthly forecast the bureau
said this would be l7.700 barrels less
than the daily average estimated for
November. 1t would be 341.200 higher
than the actual daily production for
December, 1886 and 10 per cent above
the actual domestic demand in that
month
Crude oil production from October
to October 80 averaged about $500. =
600 barrels daily, During that period
stocks declined 1860 barrels net, of
which 1903 600 was in domestic grades.
indicating daily demand during this
period of 3663.00O
ms decline in crude stocks. the
bureau said, was offset by an unusual
increase in gasoline stocks during Oc-
tober. This increase was equivalent
to almost 100000 barrels of crude,
which would indicate about 100000
barrels daily less crude oil demand on
the basis of actual motor fuel REQUIRE
ments
The bureau estimated domestic mo-
tor fuel demand for December at 40
0o0OO barrels. or Is per cent higher
than the actual demand for December.

Nine-Month Net Income Of

Is S63,OOO,O0O.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

CkeCidl DlspdlCH 70 Inc star.
NEW YORK, Nov. l8.-The auto
mobile accessory industry will turn in
earnings for 1887 which will be little.
If any, short of record proportions,
according to Poor's Industry and In
VeStment Surveys. Concrete evidence
IN this direction is found in the in
come accounts of concerns whose nine
months interim reports are available.
Aggregate net income of % leading
units amounted to S63,000,000 for the
period, gain of 1872 per cent over
the corresponding months Of 1886
With their fortunes closely related
to the volume of automobile produce
ton, any forecast of automobile &C
cessory income must give due weight
to the sales prospects of the parent
industry" states the analysis Most
sources agree that automobile pro-
ducers will do well if they can sell
as many cars and trucks in 1888 as
they did this year-the probability is
a small decline. This situation will
tend to stalemate the earning power
of the accessory industry. However,
there will doubtless be many excep-
lions to the rule, principally the we'll
diversified, aggressive concerns pro-
ducing broad line of non-automotive
products.
While the trend toward diversif-
cation outside the automotive industry
has gathered momentum only recent
ly, 1t is not new. This diversifcation
OF output tends to mitigate the ad-
verse effect of declining automobile
and truck volume Today many of
the most successful concerns deliver
up to so per cent of their output to
outside customers. This factor
should aid in maintaining the in
dustry's earning power. as non-auto-
motive lines generally escape the
highly competitive bidding charac-
terlstic of the automotive field.
Until recently accessory manu-
facturers' profit margins have been
shrinking under the pressure of
higher labor and material costs How
ever when contracts were written for
1888 model business prices were ad-
justed upward sufficiently to regain
at least some Of the lost ground.
Additionally, many of the raw ma
terlals used by the industry are now
selling we'll below their quotations of
earlier this year. This situation was
reflected to some extent in third
quarter earnings. Appraisal Of its full
effect must await fnal-quarter state
ments"

posed new 100000 bond issue to the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. at

betterments which the company has
made to the plant in past years. It is
expected the bonds will be issued as
