 NTillkie packers among the Yale University student body staged a wild demonstration after his speech It reached the proportions of a near-riot as blank cartridges were fired street lights broken, trolley poles pulled down from wires and passing cars bounced up and down Even state police cars were halted in the jam, that was finally broken up by police after almost an ours effort.
 Directors of the Connecticut tour said today that crowds hailing the candidate during the day would have been much larger but for the fact the motorcade ran so far be- hind schedule. The crowd at Li- brary Park in Waterbury was esti- mated by Police Superintendent William J. Roach at 5000, and by Republican Town Cairman Vernon Hall at $500, though some papers today stated that between 10000 and 15,000 were on hand.
 Apologies were being made today to party leaders in town where Willkie did not speak, though scheduled to do so. Some of the speech cancellations were considered unfortunate blunders. At Bristol, the crowd was much larger than in Waterbury, but the motorcade sin1- ply drove around the high school field, then went on without stop- ping, disappointing thousands. New Britain also had a very large turn out, but the candidate did not speak.
 G o. P. leaders were quoted by the United Press today as being greatly pleased over the reception given Willkie.
 T have never seen such an en- ti1usiastic and cordial reception given to anyone in Connecticut" ," said Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin.
 Some party leaders estimated that more than 100000 saw the Repub- lican presidential candidate on his tour. which concentrated mainly on the industrial sections. State Po- lice Commissioner Edward J. Hackey estimated the throng at a million persons.
 The motor caravan gradually fell behind schedule during the day. When it finally arrived at Hartford, it was more than two hours behind time and special flood lights were turned on at Pope Park so that a crowd estimated by Hickey at 10000 to S0,O00 could see the candidate in the darkness.
 On the trip from Hartford to New Haven, after the Willkie party visit ed with Bishop Maurice F. McAu- life at his residence, speed of 60 miles an lour was attained at times.
 "All this enthusiasm and interest augurs well for election day." said the governor. National Committee man Samuel F. Pryor added:
 "The tremendous crowds that came out to see MT. Willkie far ex- ceeded anything that anyone had anticipated.
 MT. Willkie expressed himself to me as tremendously pleased with the cordial welcome he received in the state"
 PickpocketS were active at Hart- ford and New Haven. A Hartford bus driver, Andrew M. Alexander, lost ei20, and four persons ct New Haven reported loss of wallets.
 As q result Of yesterdays delays, Willkie aides decided to call of speeches scheduled tomorrow morn- ing at New Bedford, Fall River Taunton, Brockton. and Lynn, Mass, on route to Boston. They said he would drive through these towns
