 in Westminster Hall
ALL GLASSES REPRESENTED
Floral Decorations From Eckener
 and Graf Zeppelin Crew Received
 Union Jacks Draped Over AS COffins.

London, Oct. 10 P)-Endless col umns of mourning Britons today passed slowly through Westminster Hall between long rows of coffins containing bodies of the 4S victims of the disaster to the R-101, British dirigible which cracked up and burned last Sunday morning near Beauvais. France.
 All Classes Represented
 Rich and poor, great and small, were represented in the tNrong, which had gathered long before doors of the hall, in which the bodies of kings have lain in state, opened at o'clock.
 The collins, resting on purple dais, and covered with Union Jacks and flowers of every description, made an impressive sight. King George and Queen Mary sent a wreath of laurel leaves entwined with white heather and white roses. It rested near wreaths sent by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York, both of laurel with a dash of color.
 Sunshine filtered through the an- cient stained glass windows und 1T the vaulted roof and spread like a silver pail over the catafalque. The bodies will remain in the hall until they are carried tomorrow to their last resting place in the churchyard at Darlington, from where the dir igible started a week ago on the flight which ended in its destruction.
 Notables at Exercises
 Princes of the empire, premiers of the British dominion, foreign dip lomats and crowds of Londoners gathered in old St. Paurs cathedral for the memorial services at noon under it's great dome.
 The program of the services be- gan with the national anthem, and included the hymns "Rock of Ages, and Jesus Lover of My Soul" Ben ediction was by the Bishop of Lon- don, then came the dead march, nd the Last Post. by Royal Air Force trumpeters.
 Notwithstanding the early hour a large crowd, watched with sadness as men of the Royal Air Force brought out coffin after coffin and laid then on tenders which, later, moved slowly in long line to Vest

QU|GLEY SWAMPED
 IN ASSEMBLY RACE
Republicans Name Bengtson and
 Lange for Representatives
BOTH HAVE WIDE MARGINS
Incumbent Carry All Except Fifth Ward-Second Ward Goes Against Mayor In Spite of His Personal Management.

Representative Thure Bengtson and his colleague, Representative William F. Lange, defeated William J. Quigley, in the republican pri- maries held from 4 to p. m. yes- terday in this city, to nominate can- didates for representatives at the state election in November. The to- tals in the six wards were: Bengtson 1,5O9, Lange 1881, Quigley 737.
 The three candidates were at re- publican headquarters shortly after 8 o'clock, but the first ward to come in, the sixth, did not report until after S:30 o'clock, and it was 9:20 report officially, was brought in.
 The race in the three upper wards was close, the totals for the fourth, fifth and sixth being: Bengtson, 4Ss; Lange, 470; Quigley 445. Quigiey gained by chief strength in the fifth ward.
 When the results in the third ward came in, about g o'clock, Quigley fell far behind, and then when the results of the first ward were officially announced, and Quig- ley saw that he had no chance to be a candidate on the republican ticket, he stepped forward and congratu- lated MT. Bengtson and MT. Lange, and told all present that he will go out and work for the election of the nominees over the democratic party candidates.
 Bengtson's Friends Aroused
 The strength shown by Represen- tative Bengtson was not surprising to his workers, who were confident that the vote in the first and third wards alone would be sufficient to nominate him over Quigley, and as the voting turned out they were cor rect, Bengtson receiving 524 in the first, his home ward. and 800 in the third. The drive against Bengtson had the effect of rousing his SUD- porters in all sections of the city, and one of the features of the pri- mary was Quigley's defeat in the second ward, the home ward of Mayor Quigley. Despite the strenu- ous efforts of the Quigley organiza- tion, the candidate boiled only 121 votes in that ward, where Mayor Quigley personally directed the cam paign.
 Sixth Ward Fails Quigley
 Another surprise to political ob- servers was Quigley's poor showing in the sixth ward, where he received only 7S votes. He had counted heav-

Deputy Attorney General to Take Public Utilities Commission
 Custer Further Up
SAYS LEGAL POINT SOLE
 REASON FOR HIS ACTION
Claims Bedding Professors Petition Contains Untruths, Therefore Cannot Stand-Case Goes to Su- to Remove Grade Crossings

Dismissal of Officials for Failure
 to Remove Grade Crossings
 Hartford, Oct 10 RHDeputy At torney General Ernest L. Averill to- day filed in the superior court notice of his intention to appeal from the decision of Judge Allyn Brown, filed on Friday of last week in which the court granted the motion of Prof. Albert Levitt of Bedding to dismiss the complaint of the attorney gen. eral.
 Another Step in Fight
 The filing of today's notice of the intention of the attorney general to appeal to the supreme court of errors Is another step in the legal controversy in which Prof. Levitt seeks to compel the attorney general to file complaint in the superior court with view to busting the members of the public utilities com mission for alleged material neglect of duty.
 In commenting on the filing of the appeal today, Colonel Averill said the real point at issue, so far as it concerns the office of the attorney general, appears to have been lost sight of in the general considera- tion of the question relating to the members of the public utilities con- mission. Tie issue, so far as 1t concerns his office, is a determina- ton of the question whether ale gations in a petition such as was filed by Prof. Levitt, must not be true.
 'In the original petition" said Colonel Averill, several allegations were made of claimed material neg lect of duty on the part of the members of the public utilities com mission. The attorney general in- vestigated the allegations and found them to be untrue. The superior court held that the filing of a pe- tition, signed by at least 100 electors, required the attorney general to file complaint in the superior court, and the supreme court of errors held that such a complaint must be filed unless the allegations contained in the petition are manifestly untrue.'
 "The supreme court decision was right and proper in determining the point then at issue. but the question of whether 8 complaint must be filed when the attorney general knows the allegations are manifestly untrue has not been determined. This point Is what the supreme court is now asked to decide"
 Colonel Averill explained that the action brought by the attorney gen.

Begin Invading States

Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, Oct. 10 P1Revolutionary armies from the state of Minas Ger aes have begun an invasion of three adjoining states, Sac Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Espirito Santo, an in- surgent announcement today said.
 An army advacing from south eastern Minas Geraes has captured the towns of Itaperuana and Mirace- ma in the. state of Rio Janeiro and has advanced to a point n. ar Ciudad Campos, important city and junction of four railroad lines.

 Invading forces also have entered Espirito Santo above Ciudad Cam pos, the announcement said.
 Another army has entered the state of Sac Paulo in the far north west, and has captured Igarapaya. The movement is considerably sep arated from the invasion of Sac Paulo from the south by troops from Rio Grande do Sul, Parana, and Santa Catharina.
 Newspaper here said that the cruiser, Rio Grande do Sul, now off the coast of Santa Catharina, has gone over to the revolution, and is flying a red flag.

SHOTS FAIL ID HALT
 REFORM SCHOOL BOYS
Fugitives From Meriden Institution Escape in
 Newington

Officer Edward Musczynski was detailed by Lieutenant Matthias Ri- val at 5:30 last night to search about the South street neighborhood in the hope that he might find the trail of three boys who were report ed missing from the Meriden School for Boys.
 As the officer was driving on Maple Hill he spotted the youths and stopped. As he was attempting to get out of the car one of the boys recognized him and sounded the alarm with the result that all three ran away in the direction of New ington.
 Musczynski got in touch with Constable Walsh of Newington and both officers rode about the back roads in the vicinity of the Sequin golf links for an hour or more be- fore finding any further trace of the boys. They finally saw them as they were driving along Willard avenue.
 When they were about 200 feet away from the boys the youths ran into the swamps along the road with the officers in close pursuit. Con- stable Walsh fired six shots into the air to frighten the boys and cause them to stop. They continued on into the woods and according to the of- f1cer's report had not been caught when he left the scene shortly be- fore g o'clock.
 Constable Walsh in the meantime had recruited Constables Olsen and Dessell to aid in the search and they continued to SCOUT through the woods.
 Meriden, Oct. 10 P-A statewide search was under way today for six inmates of the Connecticut State School for Boys who escaped from the institution.
 Two of the boys some time last night climbed through a window in their cottage and fled under cover of darkness. They had been pre- ceded by three others earlier in the da.' and one on Tuesday.
 Escape from the school which is not modelled along prison lines is comparatively easy, as no elaborate guard system is used, officials said. Among those who escaped, they said, were boys who had been considered among the trustworthy in the school.

W. |. R. STARTS BIG DRIVE
FOR 10000 NEW MEMBERS

Ten thousand new members in
the Workers International Relief!
This is the goal of a membership
drive launched by the W. I. R. which
aims to enroll 10000 new solidarity
fighters in the struggles of the
workers. The W. I. r. points out
that the Strengthening of the W. l..
r. and its penetration into the
masses is absolutely essential if it
is to cope with the growing tasks
of the great class conflicts that are
facing the American workers. Al
most every new strike requires I'M
mediate relief, which cannot be pro-
vided unless the W.I.R. is built into
a strong mass organization.
4 Quotas have been assigned to var
ious districts. Every district that
fills its quota will select a delegate
to visit the Soviet Union. The dis
trict will pay the round trip fare,
amounting to about 5000, and the
WIR will provide four weeks stay
in the Soviet Union, including all
accommodations.
