GUATEMALAN ENVOY
 DIES IN WASHINGTON
Diplomat Who Shocked Capital Many Times Sue
 cumbs to PeritOnitis

Washington, Nov. G) - Senor Don Francisco Sanchez Latour Guatemalan minister to the United States, and one of the most widely known of the Central American dip lomats, died here last night.
 The minister was operated upon last Saturday for appendicitis. It was believed by close friends and as- sociates that his strength. taxed per ceptibly since he was found uncon- scious in his study last July with a bullet wound near the heart from his own pistol, was not sufficient to withstand the strain of the opera ton. The shooting was described by members of the family as acci- dental.
 News of the Illness of senor La tour had been withheld from the public and it was not until shortly before his death that it became public that he had undergone an operation.
 Senor Latour's five years of diplo- AiidtiS llC III :" As'lliiih loii ea'' >AA'i Q d'affaires and minister, had been been marked by frequent incidents which brought his name before the public of this country, as well as in his native land of Guatemala.
 Just eight months before the shooting in July. which nearly caused his death, the minister was named in court action by his wifes divorced husband. James Armstrong of Washington. who sought to obtain possession of letters said to have been exchanged between Senor La tour and his wife six years before she was divorced.

SCRAMBLE LIKELY FOR BRISTOL NOMINATION
Belief in Bell City Is That Special Elections Will
 Have to Be Held
Special to the Herald)

Bristol, Nov. S.--In view of the fact that there is some question as to the proper method of selecting a successor to Mayor John F. Wade who died suddenly yesterday, Cor poration Counsel William x. De Roster has been called upon for a ruling. This will be given out on next Thursday.
 It is also understood that a spe- cial meeting of the council will be called for some evening the latter part of this week. At that time resolutions on the death of the mayor will be passed and a definite decision reached as to the proper action to take.
 It Is generally believed. however, that two elections will be held. The city charter provides for the nom- nation of candidates by primary election and a second election be- tween the two candidates receiving the largest number of votes. It Is also necessary to advertise such primary election for at least 20 days prior to the date on which it is to be held.
 Although no one has announced his candidacy for the mayoralty of fee as yet it is believed that in tho event it is decided to hold primary, numerous petitions for candidates will be filed with the city clerk. The vacancy created by the mayors death furnishes the city with an un- usual and interesting political sit uation and promises to furnish more political activity than has been seen in the city for years.

 The witnesses told of strange ac- tions of Frederick l.. Ray, East Haddam coffin maker, who left an estate of $650,00Q. of which s6oo,- 900 was for a trade school to be established in East Haddam.
 The other $50,000 was left to a brother, Bertrand E. Ray, now of East Haddam, formerly of Glouces- ter, Mass. who was to have life use of it.
 The will is being contested, the brother claiming that Frederick was of unsound mind and had been unduly influenced in the making of the will.
 The testimony of witnesses before the conference was to the effect that the testator did things which were singular. and also acted in a strange manner from time to time,
 Last week other witnesses told of the conditions under which Fred erick Ray had lived. how he had a fondncss for cats and when four died he buried them with ceremony in upholstered caskets in his flower garden.
