PREPAREDNESS DAY AT STATE GAPITAL (Continued From First Page). reported this morning and it was ex- pected that many of the out-of-town delegations would bring their own, swelling the music total to perhaps fifty. Practically every town in Hartford county and some outside re- sponded to the invitation to send marchers. Notable among them were New Britain with 3,000 to 4,000, Manchester 1,00 Bristol 500, Middletown 500, Windsor 200, Wind- sor Locks 200, Rockville 250; Glas- tonbury 200; Fast Hartford 200. The largest city delegations included Colts 1,000, Hartford Rubber Works 1,000, Pratt & Whitney 1,000, Underwood Typewriter 2,000. An interesting feature was the en- Tollment of 800 girls from the Travel- ers Insurance Co., home office. The company was also represented by 600 men, thus turning out numbers mor than equal ment. men. to a war strength regi- The Aectna Life promised 800 Every civilian parader was requested to carry a small flag. The general committee undertook to pro- vide them to those not so equipped. Conncecticut Infantry, Too. Next to Uncle Sam’s men, that part of the parade of interest to the pub- lic is the First Connecticut Infantry, accompanied by its wagon train; First | Connecticut Signal Troops, and First Connecticut Ambulance company. It seldom that any Connecticut city s given the opportunity to see so many of its own troops in line, fully equipped. The regiment was ardered to report at full strength, and the entire military was expected to num- ber well over a thousand. In addi- tion were the First Company, Gover- nor's Foot Guard in its picturesque Pritish grenadier uniform and the Continental Putnam Phalanx, also a Scottish Pipe band in kilts. 7 Every patriotic order in the city, many fraternal societies, lawyers, doctors, bankers and brokers, the Red Cross, business firms, camp fire girls and even clergymen were scheduled for places In line, The héad of the line was ordered to farm on Jefferson street, and all 1adiating streets in every direction were named as places of formation for the scores of delegations. Line of march: Jefferson to Main, up Main ta High, down High to Asylum, to Trinity; dismiss in Bushnell Park and nearby streets, The reviewing party includes Gov- ernor Holcomb, Mayor F. A, Hagarty, state and city officials, U. S. senators and congressmen and guests. A pleasing incident arranged in this connection will be the presentation of a silken flag to the governor by Adnah Fahrney, nine years old, of Boston, who will occupy a float near the head of the parade. She is the child who as Little Miss Columbia, presented a flag to Governar McCall of Massachusetts in the recent Boston parade. Major Howard, Troop B, Fifth Militia Cavalry reserve, appointed as aide, Judge Luclen F. colonel of the Second Infantry, C. N. G., Captain J. H. K. Davis of Troop B is chief of staff. One half the troop, abaut 45 men are acting as mounted aides and orderlies. The entire police force of the city, about 225 men was ordered out for the day.

It may ave been that the threatening weath- cial train to convi h. er had a tendency, to diminish the ranks from the reported number that the Chamber of Commerce had an- ticipated, or it may have been for oth- er reasons, which have been expound- ed freely for the past few days, but at any rate the crowd was but a hand- ful of what was expected to present itself when the word march was given by Marshal Andrews. Shortly after 1 o’clock the city fa- thers began to put in an appearance ready to accept the insignia hat hands which was handed out to distinguish the local crowd from others in the parade. The municipal *papas” formed in line in front of the brown stone building on West Main street. This formed division number one. The second division composed of manu- facturing group lined up on ington street, the civic group on South High street and the citizens ana non-classified on High street. This {was done at the instigation of the committee, but after glancing at the Whole line, it was seen that the plana Were usele! the whole outfit could have been stationed in much less space. Headed by the American Band, the varaders marched down West Main | street headed by Marshal Andrews and his aides. According to orders received from Hartford, the local Celegation after detraining at the Union station, was to march thraugh Church, Spruce, and Asylum streets, thence to Capitol, avenue, whore the crders for the position in line woula be received, While the marchers were sadly lacking in numbers, other residents Irterested in preparedness, flocked ta the Capitol city in large numbers. Shortly after 12 o’clock the railroad company, began running special trains, each of which was loaded to the utmost. It was estimated this af- ternoan that over 5,000 persons jour- neyed northward to participate in or watch the parade.

OT LEFT Automobile Matter Fixed Asserts Charles Mellen. Thought Up, Charles Mellen called at the office of the Herald last evening and the story appearing in yesterday’s sue regarding his leaving town not true. He also asserted he w under the impression that an automo- bile mix-up between him and Mun- roe W. Crane had been settled, when he called at the secretary’s office and explained the matter. A short time ago Mr. Crane informed the secretary of state that his machine had narrow- ly escaped an accident with a car marked with the dealer's license of A. G. Cohen of this city in Mr. Cohen was notified to have the driver of the machine appear before the secretary. The hearing was set for Thursday and Mr. Mellen did not appear. Hence, the story. This morning at the secretary of state’s office, it was said that Mr. Mel- len called there Monday to give his version af the mix-up. He said he would be unable to appear at hearing, which was set for Tuesday afternoon. The secretary said he would hear the case Thursday, Mr. Mellen did not appear, Mr, Cohen was called on the telephone and in- formed his questioner that Mr. Mellen was no longer in his employ. Secre- tary Burns then took the testimony of Mr. Crane.

After relating our losses it becoues curiously vague and con- tains what we never were accustomer to see in British naval reports, namely excuses. “We are told for example that the battle fleet, aided by low ad- visability, avoided a prolonged action with our main forces. The fact ap- pears, however, from this involved and obscure narrative, that the enemy engaged part of our fleet with his whole strength and delivered a vio- lent blow before our battleships wera able to come into action. “How far our lack of airships con- tributed to this result we are not in- formed.
