 AT NEWS STORIES
Regrets That Commander Mobile

Nome. Alaska, May IS Pl-Roald Amundsen showed signs Of great perturbation when he learned an account Of the flight of the Norge over the north pole had been writ ten by Colonel Umberto Mobile, and published.
 There might be something in there l would want to deny" ex- claimed Amundsen, commander of the expadition. as he pleaded vain ly yesterday with the publishers of the Nome Nugget to let him read Mobiles narrative before publica- ton.
 The account by Mobile. designer and constructor Of the Norge and her first pilot on the flight which began a week ago today, was radioed by him to Berito Musso- lini, premier of Italy. Mussolini re- ceived the narrative in Rome. and tho Associated Press telegraphed. cahled and radioed 1t to the Mug get.
 The Nugget, a four page. closely printed paper, which, next to the News Minor at Fairbanks, Alaska. is the farthest north member of the Associated Press, did a record breaking business yesterday after noon.
 Nearly everybody in Nome, see ing Amundsen around the Nugget office, and noting signs Of his dis pleasure as he left, hurried to the place at publication time. As fast as the press could turn off the papers, they were snatched by pur- Chasers.
 T am afraid the crowd was dis appointed," remarked George S. Maynard, publisher of the Nugget, and four times mayor of Nome. q do not believe there was anything radical in the Mobile article though 1t vas certainly a good, interesting account of the Norge's wonderful exploit"

LAITY WILL GIVE
 INFORMAL OPINION
EpiScopalianS Express Prefer
 enGe for Bishop COadjQtor

Hartford, May IS R@An inten-
 tion on the part of prominent lay men to indicate the informal prefer ence as regards the election of bishop coadjutor was apparent today as delegates were gathering for the annual convention here of the Con- necticut Episcopal. diocese. And 1t is understood that the support of these laymen will be given some of the outstanding younger clergy of the state. Among the names men, tioned In this connection are those of the Rev. Dr. F. c. Budlong of Greenwich, Rev. Gerald Cunningham of Stamford, Rev. James s. Neill of Manchester and Rev. William T. Hooper of Hartford.
 The leaders in this laymen's were said to be Congress- man Schuyler Merritt of Stamford, Harry Hemingway of Watertown and former State Highway Commits sioner Charles J. Bennett of Hart ford.
 At the convention in New Haven last year the clergy were unable to give q majority vote to any candi- date and under the canons of the diocese the lay delegates could not vote until after the clergy had made their choice, the laymen's vote being on ratification. Notice was given at that time that a change in the can- ons would be called for this year so that the laymen could meet concur rently with the clergy Such change if voted this year, would not become effective until 1927. But it Is asserted that an informal session could be held while the clergy are balloting and 1t Is also said that many of the clergy would be glad of such an expression of choice from the layInen.
 As the clerical delegates assem- oled there was no indication of any further strengthening of candidates. new name was brought into the discussion that of Suffragan Bishop Herbert Shipman of the diocese of New York.
