This was, however, denied by a member who was pres- ent, who stated that with one excep- tion, the members heartily endorsed the sentiment embodied in the reso- lution. Continuing further on the subject, the speaker informed the re- porter that in the past wher impor- tant matters were to he taken up, such as the Christmas tree and the Fourth of July celebration, the co- operation of the bureau was always sought, and in many instances the brunt of the undertaking was left to these persons, even to the collection of funds. “But in the recent matter the mercantile bureau was not con- sidered as serious as heretofore,” he said This member of the Chamber has been placed in a position within the past few days, where considerable of the opposition to the movement was put up to him. One resident called at his place of business and severly scored him for the placing of the | large posters in the factories and when he expostulated that he was not in accord with the plan, the only satisfaction he received was that the Chamber of Commerce members were advocating fine things when they al- lowed the signature of the srganiza- tion to be affixed to the notice. In a telephone talk with the secre- tary of the Chamber this afternoon, fhe union against the granting of AUSCEIIANEOUSISH ONWEIR, immer license to a hotel at East- one of the members insisted that the true facts of yesterday’s meeting be given to the press and he said if the Miss Louise Hornkohl Tendered Fare- well Party By Office Friends. Miss Louise Hornkohl was tendered a miscellaneous shower last evening at her home, over eighty of her friends from the office of the Stanley Works, where she resigned on Satur- day, being in attendance. Miss Horn- kohl received a large assortment of beautiful gifts. During the evening solos were rendered by Miss Nora- strom Mildred Brumbaum and Elsie Loomis and recitations by Miss Ella Orr- The house was decorated with flowers and the yard was festooned with Japanese lanterns. Refresh- ments were served. Miss Hornkohl will become the bride of Luther G. Berry this month. Point, near New London three E ago.

New York June 6—The new Willys- Durant merger of four automobile companies, with a substantial interest in a fifth, will start off on the basis of $223,000,000 of capitalization. This much has already been settled, al- though no name has been found yet for the second greatest industrial combination which the United States has produced. The matter of a suit- able name was under discussion at a meeting yesterday. The company, which represents a union of the Willys-Overland, Hud- son, Chalmers, Auto-Lite and United Motors Corporation, the latter a com- bination of five accessory companies, which will supply parts for the cars made by companies in the merger, will make its debut with $73,000,000 of 7 per cent. preferred stock and 00,000 shares of common without par value. As it is proposed to sell the common stock to the public at 60 the capit tion represented by his stock is $150,000,000. The parent com- pany will not be cramped by its cap- ital limitations, however, if the man- agement decides to expand, for the charter provides that the number of common shares may be increased to 4,000,000, which at the issue price would make the total capitalization $313,000,000.

Champions of the parade idea have been prone to impress the fact that W. W. Leland, the president of the bureau, was a member of the com- mittee appointed to make the prepar- ations. After voicing his disapproval of the plan, he absolutely refused to | be a party to the movement. Every member of the bureau in attendance at the session voiced his disapproval of a repetition of a similar occurrence, those who were forced to leave the meetirig before the vote was taken, stating that this was their attitude. Secty. Andrews’ Statement. As there seems to be some misun- derstanding and some conflicting re- ports regarding the matter of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce having assisted in promoting the pre- paredness parade in Hartford, Satur- day, I wish to state that, as a result of a request from the Hartford com- mittee a special meeting of the direc- tors was called to consider the mat- ter. Owing to the facts that full informa- tion regarding the matter was lack- ing, and as there was some opposition to New Britain's taking part, a spe- clal committee consisting of the chair- men of the civic bureau, the chairman of the mercantile bureau, and one other director, was appointed to get full information and to determine if possible, the sentiment of various in- terests and to report back to the di- rectors at another meeting to be called on the following day. The committee reported on Thurs- day without making recommendations for or against the chamber's giving its support. The question was not considered as one representing any particular inter. est. It was considered as representing all interest. Action was taken by the directors | of the chamber favoring the support of the parade, and while the action | was not unanimous, those favoring it were in a very large majority. , | As a result of a feeling on the part of many of the directors of the mer- cantile bureau, a special meeting of the directors of the bureau which was largely attended was held yesterday, at which time a resolution was adopted which expressed the feeling that the ‘mercantile interests had not been giv- en sufficient consideration by the di- rectors of the Chamber and embodied a request that in the future the active support of the Chamber be not given to similar out of town affairs without the sanction of the directors of the mercantile bureau. This resolution will be presented to the directors of the chamber at its monthly meeting on June 20. A. H. ANDREWS, Exec. Sec'y. New Britain Chamber of Commerce. KNIGHTS TO ENTERTAIN.
