George A. Quigley Brighter Mentally and Temperature Goes Down After Several Hours of Rest But Condition is Serious.
MumbIes Gratitude When Told of His Victory at Polls-All Visitors, Ex- cept Wife, Barred Front Room - Friends Asked Not to Send Flowers.

Lying on q hospital bed, his rug ged frame racked by fever, George A. Quigley, mayor-lect, today is making q valiant attempt to fight his way back to health. Improve mcnt in his condition is reported but physicians use the word serious" when describing it.
 No more striking politico- dramatic event has occurred in the history of New Britain than the situation cre- ated by the illness of a candidate for high office lying in a hospital while his adherents mustered their voting strength and marched on the polls to give him the highest plur- ality ever gained by an aspirant for mayor. Not until the vote had been counted, did his physicians reveal the extent of his sickness. It had been reported before that he was seriously ill but all statements were vague and lacking in detail except in respect to the patients tempera- ture. After the closing of the polls last night it became known for the first time that during several points in his sickness with bronchial pneumonia, he had actually been fighting for his life.
 Election Uppermost in Mind
 Yesterday, through the long day, the man who was to be chosen to the highest office at the disposal of his fellow citizens, lay helpless 10 assist in his fight. Occasionally he mumbled. well it's only few hours now" indicating that the elec- tion was uppermost in his mind.
 Then, when a physician, with emo- tion in his voice, broke the news, the patient smiled and said: Isn't that great? Give my thanks to every body Closing his eyes, he re- faxed. With the tension gone, his temperature mounted and during the night fear was expressed that he was steadily becoming worse. But he fell into d restful sleep and this morning appeared much brighter. Temperature Goes to 105 Mayor-Elect Quigley took decid- cd turn for the worse late in the night and shortly before midnight was declared to be seriously ill. With temperature of 1O5 he was under almost constant watch of his physi- clans. Dr. T. Eben Rocks, superin- tendent of the New Britain General | hospital also was giving his person. al attention 10 the needs of the pa- tient. and announced that until his condition shows decided improve ment the hospital would issue daily bulletins on his condition.
 At 10 o'clock, several hours after he had been notified of his election, the patient had a temperature of 105. In a drowsy condition he was Continued on Page Two)

REPUBLICANS PLATED ]: BY ELECTION VICTORY
Celebration Restricted Be- cause of MT. Quigley's
 Illness

Due to the illness of the success tul mayoralty candidate the republi- can celebration of the party's victory was somewhat curtailed, but for an hour or more last night the principal streets of the city were thronged with some 1000 jubilant men and boys who watched and participated in several paradeS and stood about the center discussing the unexpect- edly overwhelming triumph of their candidate.
 The Italian band was engaged to head a procession of celebrators. and. bearing placards with Quigley's picture, the paraders marched about the center of the city in the ruddy glow of red fire.
 Small boys had seized the oppor- tunity for noise-making earlier in the evening and had been strutting up and down Main street to the tune" of band which had tin pans and other metallic articles for jn- struments. They retired to the curbs when the procession of older cele- orators passed through but took to the streets again later and tramped home with their shouting and the music of their tinny band grad ually growing less as they dispersed bit by bit
 The several parades and the geii- eral thronging of the streets led the l police department to turn off the l electric traffic signals about the center, and for an hour or more automobiles and pedestrians were di- rccted by flesh and blood officers.

 Shipment

Colborne, Ont, April 9 (P - A complaint that United States prohi- bition officers had destroyed a ship ment of 200 barrels of apples at Black Rock, near Buffalo, had been forwarded to Premier Mackenzie King today by E. H. Coyle, fruit grower.
 Coyle said that he shipped the fruit to Ridgeway, Penn, few weeks ago and that at Black Rock the shipment was seized and opened by prohibition officers. He said the apples were emptied out on the floor and damaged and that no trace of liquor was found in the barrels.
 "I have been unable to get satis- faction out of the United States customs authorities" he said. "They offered no apologies for the destruc- ton of the apples and practically re- fused to discuss the matter when l went to Buffalo to confer with them. They considered they were doing their duty and that was all I could get out of them. They said they had the authority to open whatever they liked"

HARVARD CYCLISTS
 START ON JOURNEY
Two Wear False Whiskers and Ride Ancient
 Tandem Bike

Cambridge, Mass, April 3 lP\-- Four Harvard cyclists, two of them masquerading behind a substantial crop of false whiskers, were sup posedly pedalling somewhere along the road to New York today. The first two. Freddy Richardson, '3". of Ncwtown. star member of the junior '33, of Worcester, were competitors on solo cycles for a $500 prize offer ed by the A. z. club, one of liar wards best known undergraduate social organizations.
 Dropping farther behind at every turn of the wheels was the bewhis- kered pair on a tandem bike of the vintage of 1890, striving to make New York within AS hours for the greater honor and glory of Harvard and such side bets as they could make.
 One of these was reported to be David Cabot Forbes of Milton. But the other, fearful that parental dis approval might intervene at the last minute, effectually hid his identity behind his hirsute adornment.
 The destination of all four was kept as mysterious as the hour of departure had been, but according to confidants of the quartet it was somewhere in East 74th street, New York city.
 The strange foursome pulled out of Harvard Square shortly after 5 o'clock after newspaper reporters had been bequilcd away by an an nouncement that the race was dcfi- nitely off. James B. Campbell of Ja- maica Plain, editor Of the Lampoon, was reported to have started to pace the tandem artists, but whether he would continue through to New York could not be determined. Neither were friends of the four anxious to reveal what route the bicyclists would pursue.

Intoxicated Operator Tells Police
 He's William GOOdiSOn
FACES SECOND CHARGE
Maguder, Hartford Resident, Ad- mits Operating Car With License He Found On Highway-Inyesti- gatiOn Continued.

William Goodison of S6 Sexton street was surprised today to learn that man giving his name and ad- dress had been arrested in Berlin last night by Constable George Kan upka on the charge of operating an automobile while under the influ- ence of liquor, and upon his report to the police an investigation was started, which disclosed that Ladis- law Maguder of 221 State street, Hartford, has been driving on Good ison's operators license since he found it on a road in the vicinity of East Hartford.
 Booked at the local police station as 'Goodison," Maguder admitted when questioned in his cell today that he had printed the local mans name on a pockctbooll so that it would match the operators license and when he was found near gas oline filling station in Berlin last night in an alleged unfit condition to drive. he gave his name and ad- dress to coincide with that of the local man. Consequently. the charge of driving without a license was added to that of driving while under the influence of liquor and will be pressed when the case comes up for trial in Berlin town court.
 GOOdison Not Out Of Home
 Goodison told the local police he had not been out of his home last night and his autmobile had been in the garage and was still there today. On March 29, the car was stolen and later recovered in Thompsonville, but the police did not determine the identity of the thief. Today is was admitted that Maguder is suspected but he would not admit the charge. Goodison, since losing his license, obtained a duplicate, and was sur prised 10 learn that it had been found and was being used by Ma guder.

Youngstown. Ohio, April 2 (P)- Unless blocked by some new court fight, the billion dollar merger of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, today became a certainty, it's pro- ponents said.
 The supposedly closing skirmlsh in the bitter struggle between many of the industry's greatest captains, ended in common pleas court this morning when Judge C. S. Turn baugh refused to cnjoin the voting of a block of 5l.0SS Sheet & Tube shares for the merger.
 Eaton Denies Majority
 Shortly before Judge Turnbaugh' $ decision was given. spokesmen for Cyrus s. Eaton, leader of the anti merger group, denied that the merger had a majority, declaring results of the vote could not be de- termined until all had been count ed. He believed, however, that the merger fight hinged on Judge Turn baugh's decision.
 Stockholders of the big Youngs- town company cast their ballots last night The block on which Judge TurnbauGh ruled was counted in favor of the merger. and Attorney l.. A. Manchester, general counsel for Sheet So Tube, said the total vote, when the count is completed, would show S70,000 votes for the merger. Only approximately 791,- 900 were needed to approve it.
 All Youngstown was in commotion as the result of the battle, based on Judge Turnbaugh's decision was an nounccd, marking what proponents of the merger said, was the most spectacular battle of the steel in- dustry in two decades.
