Hunter s ate
 Determined By
 Council Ionight

The crucial meeting of a series of special and regular meetings of the Stratford council will be held tonight
 at the historic and handsome Town Hall.
 Stratford has been greatly stirred since the Town Manager indiscreetly bought two ash cans, without adver- Using for bids. The meeting, many believe carefully rehearsed, will go through the formality of placidly, or as placidly as possible, discharging, firing, and giving the gate" to Town Manager R.. H. Hunter, formerly of Hudson, O. That is, unless all signs fail.
 The meeting may well be considered in the crucial class, and one of series made up of tax payers voters, throughout the old town for the past fortnight. All this happened because the council asked Hunter to resign, without first warning the aforemen- toned voters that the man the coun- ci1 was so sure was 'it,' just a few short months ago, was a. "dud.''
 Public opinion, and virtually all of the newspapers that circulate in Strat- ford, seem to be lined up with Hunt CT in as far as any formal charges that have been preferred against him are concerned. Hunter has explained and refuted the charges to the gen eral satisfaction of most of the tax payers, and voters.
 However, in spite of the trend of feeling that has been shown in the neighborhood meetings, as the zero hour approaches 1t seems more than proba bIe that the councilmen under attack will sit tight. follow their or- igina1 courseS and ignomintously give Hunter the well known 'fair.'' Wheth- CT any of the councilmen will then follow the suggestion of their con- and resign, remains to be seen. Some have complained because petitions filed against certain council men have largely been signed by 
 Many, too, believe that certain council members, doubt meaning to do what they think Is right, are smulating the children who followed the t'Pied Piper" and are following a lead instfgated by ''old line politicians who are desirous of wrecking the form of government.
 Rumors are af1oat that W. w. Leck, of the East Side plant of the American Tube & Stamping Co.,, is to fill Hunters shoes. Leck s prominent official with the Amer can Tube has been for a long time, las a pleasant personality, and could Lppease a lot of people who, from the | tart, have opposed the idea of an | ,Jrt- of-town manager. But the ques- 1 ion has arisen-wiu @ man of his | .bflity in the steel business leave such position for the rather dubious oc- upation of a town manager, who is | onstantly subject to discharge with ut notice?'

London. Feb. 27-(The Associated Press. )-Although a daughter of Great will promise to s.obey" her husband when she is married to Viscount Las celles in Westminster Abbey tomor- row. The wedding service will follow the Church of England prayer book order but the revised exhortation" will be used. This has received the sanction of church authorities. Its wording, il some particulars is re- garded as in better style than the old version.
 Abbey authorities are finding them selves in the curious position of hay ing no precedent for the forthcoming ceremonial. The last marriage of a child of a reigning monarch in this Abbey, that of Edmund Crouchback, second son of Henry the Third, to Aveline of Lancaster, took place 653 years ago. The customs of that time are deemed inappropriate for today.
 It is expected the arrangements for the ceremony will closely follow this order: The 2.50o guests will begin to arrive at 10 o'clock so that all may
