"During the entire do ings from January to July 1. at which tlmethe Btrike vote was canvassed," ays their statement, "no intimation was given to us that the Erie was not dealing In good faith.

Virtually every stock traded in shares in the advance. Chief interest centered in the stocks in which a large short interest is be lieved to exist, for which there was an Insistent demand. Trading in Ca nadian Pacific was unusually active. The first transaction was a block of 2,000 Shares at 215 1-4 to 215 3-4 a max imum advance of 1 3-4 which, however. did not put up the price to the point it reached in London before the open ing hour. Gains of 1 to 2 points were made by Union pacific, Lehigh Valley, Atlantic Coast line, and First prefer red, Mexican Petroleum and American Sugar. Noon A decided change occurred to day In the appearance of the stock market. Trading during the first hour was larger than the total transaction last Friday, when the lowest mark of the dull -period was reached. Commis sion houses had moderate buying or ders at the opening. London and Ber lin bought Canadian Pacific and Paris took Amalgamated Copper. Buying orders were partly offset by profit tali Ing, whioh at times caused slight re cessions,, but offerings wre well taken and the list as a whole held strong through the morning. Best prices of the day were recorded at noon. A significant feature was the offering of foreign money for 80 days at 5 1-4 per cent. This was almost the first Indication here of relaxation in Eu ropean money conditions which trad ere regarded as an important influ ence in the improvement of the mar ket here as well aa abroad. Bonds ere steady.

We will have a' full city ticket in the field and we will have a platform which I think will appeal to every man . of understanding. "In the past a number of our gath erings have not been bandied in the way we have liked because we have so few politicians or the kind of men wtio have had 1 experience in getting up these affairs but, those who attend this gathering at Savin Rock will find that every detail has been' looked af ter- .

A number of the Bridge port Progressive's will take their wives with them.'- . . - ' SUIT FOR $750,000 MOWS OUT OF :m CUBAN CONTRACTS Bishop Broderick Named as Defendant In Action, Alleging Fraud", Hartford, r Conn., July Charging conspiracy and fraud, a suit for 3750,- 000 damages was instituted today In the superior court in this city against David Broderick and wife, of Hart ford: Bishop Bonaventure Broderick of Saugertles, N. x . ; former Congress man John A. Sullivan of Boston; Hugh J. Reilly and Hugh J. Rellly, Jr., of No wTork city. The action is brought by Jose Antonio j Frias : of Havana, Cuba, and 'New Tork, in the name ot the Latin American Contracting ana Improvement company, which is the assignee of Frias through a third par ty. Congressman Augustine Loner- gan is leading counsel for the plain tiff , Tbls action grows out of the ' $3,- 80Q.O0O sewer and water system built in Cianfuegos. Cuba, from 1908 to 1&10 and final payment of $557,661.78 made by the Cuban government on August 27, 1912. Hugh J. Reilly of New Tork was the general contractor and dur ing the history of the contract there were several sub-contractors. Includ ing Bethel & Thompson, the Cuban Contract and Supply , dompany, Dono van & Phillips, of Boston, -Mass., and Bishop Broderick - and Congressman Sullivan who bought up the Dono van interests. Bishop Bonaventure Broderick, a na tive of Hartford, is titular bishop of Juliopolis in Bythinia, Asia Minor, and was auxiliary bishop of Havana be fore he became interested in the Cien- fuegos contract. He had an acquaint ance with Judge Hugh J. Reilly of New Tork and It was through the Bishop that Donovan and Phillips took the sub-contract. The general contract toad been taken away from Reilly once in the political upheavals ot Cuba. David Broderick is a brother of the Bishop and a suit brought against him by the Bishop involving this Cuban contract has been on trial In the Superior court here for a month, arguments in Its conclusion beginning today. In the unsettled state of the Island Donovan and Phillips could do very little business and Bishop Broderick by guaranteeing their material and labor bills and indemnifying them against lawsuits and claims alleged to be held by Reilly, the Bishop entered into an agreement to have half of the Donovan and Phillips profits. Hugh J. Reilly, Jr.. figures in the business as the acting agent of his family, and David F. Broderick first as a superintendent for Donovan and Phillips was afterward general man ager and agent for his brother, the Bishop and ex-Congressman Sullivan. Jose Antonio Erlas had been a mem her of the Cuban senate and was prominent on the Island. At the commencement of negotiations for the Cienfugegos water supply and sewer system Reilly associated himself with Frias under certain conditions, and, it la said, through him first secured the contract for 9 8,000,000, . which was afterward annulled by the City Coun cil and later by Provisional Governor Magoon, and stlU later awarded by the Cuban government to Reilly again on the unit system which actually amounted to $3,800,000. It is now the claim of Frias that he and Hugh J. Reilly were partners in the Oenfugeos contract and that the 1 result of their relations (was that Bridgeport,.
