Results Said to Have No Bearing on the November Contest.
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 5.--A net gain of one town to the Democrats and a gain of two towns to the license column tells in brief the story of the little town elections in Connecticut held Monday. The leaders of both the leading political parties had stated that the results of Monday's elections could have no bearing on the November election and their opinion was well founded, for the figures have a purely local significance. For local officers 162 towns voted and of these 128 went Republican, as last year, while the Democrats got 33, as compared with 32 last year.
