 They are Attorney Cyril Tolemar of Hartford, J. Gregory Lynch oi Waterbury, Howard Houseman oi Winsted and Milton Meyers of Wa terbury, sub-poenaed by Attroney Fitzgerald.
 Hearing of petition by Lieut. Col. Roy E. Rice for a recount ot ballots cast for U. s. representative in 10 towns of the 5th congressional district was recessed here shortly before noon today as ballot boxes used at Winchester (Winsted) were ordered brought for examination Lieut. Col. Rice, Republican, is con- testing the apparent election of Con- gressman J. Joseph Smith who, &C., cording to unofficial returns, was re- elected by plurality of 294 votes last Tuesday.
 At the start of the hearing States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, oi Waterbury, filed demurTers to the complaint filed on Rice's behalf by Vernon L. Hall, Waterbury COP leader. Collecting to d recount Attorney Fitzgerald declared that it might, If granted, become 9 fishing expedition" and asserted further that the complaint filed did not contain "a direct allegation mistake has been made"
 Winsted Key to Dispute
 It appeared probable that If 8 recount in Winsted were denied Attorneys Richardson Bronson, of Waterbury, and William H. Blod- gett, of Litchfield. appearing for Rice, would drop further proceedings for recount in the other towns However, it was reported that they might begin quo warranto action The Winsted ballots seemed to be the key to the situation, though Rice is also disputing votes cast in Wa terbury. Watertown, Derby, Corn wall, Colebrook, New Hartford, Prospect, Bridgewater, and Oxford In Winsted. Chief Moderator Will liam F. Doyle threw out All ballots. Rice claims that most of these yoid- ed ballots were cast for him, but election officials at Winsted earlier said that the number of voided votes cast for Smith was large enough to have no appreciable outcome on the result, even if the votes were count ed.
 Called As Witnesses
 Summoned as witnesses to the hearing before Supreme Court Jus tice Newell Jennings, Christopher L, Avery and Allyn l.. Brown were sev- erai Waterburians, among them Chief Moderator Emil Hummel, At torney Milton Meyers. Registrar of Voters John T. Derwin and MT. Hall. Rice contends that a large number of local were cast H. legally, among them ballots by per- sons to whom voting certificates should not have been issued. He also claims that absentee ballots were cast improperly in this city. In Derby it is claimed that the machines were 50 adjusted that tick cts could not be split for Rice. Im- proper tallying of votes cast by pa- per ballot is alleged in the other towns.

First Substantial Recovery
Not Reflected Until July

NEW YORK, Oct. 17-Constructio
was the first of the principal paint
consuming industries to assist the trade
in recovering from the doldrums to
which it had descended during the
latter part of 1887. according to a
survey by Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc.
Contracts for residential building
began to climb upward early in 1898.
No substantial improvement was re-
hected in wholesale paint sales, how
ever, until July, and in manufacturing
activity until August Technical var
nishes continued dull, moving more
slowly than other paint lines, but bet
ter sentiment developed in the in
dustrial paint divisions as prospects
for orders from the automobile trade
became more favorable
For the period January through
August, manufacturers sales of paint,
reported by the Bureau Of the Census,
were % per cent below the 1887 level,
the highest for those same months
since 1929. The eight-month total
Of s22s,s7l ,804 in 1888 was also II per
cent lower than that for the corre-
spending months Of 1896. and only
06 per cent above the 1885 period.
Manufacturers sales of wallpap per
were above the 1887 comparative dur
ing January and February. but from
March through June dropped below by
an increasing margin; in June the dip
amounted to 46 per cent: in July it
was reduced sharply to % per cent.
"A survey of SO manufacturers of
paints, varnish and lacquer revealed a
decline in stocks of rs per cent dur
ing the first half of the year. reducing
the 1887 year-end total of $l23.000 900
to STA 100000 on June 80, 1888. Dis
tributors' inventories, however were
somewhat higher at the end Of the
six months; 26 wholesalers of paints
and varnishes reported an increase Of
84 per cent and $50 retailers of paints.
wallpaper and glass an increase Of SIS
per cent. No adjustment is made in
these figures for seasonal changes, but
it is natural to expect that trade out
lets usually do some stocking in prepa-
ration for their heavy spring and sum-
mer turnover.
For many paint manufacturers
September business was the best for
any month so far this year, despite
