 London. Jan. % Pj-The entire question of how to measure naval poWcr-Whethcr by total tons. or hv tons in separate Catcgorics-a prob lem which has NcNcd naval limita- ton negotiations for years. was put today in the hands of a special com- mittce by the London naval confer cncc.
 This plan of treatment was adopt cd on the motion of Secretary Stim- son, American delegation head, at q full session of the conference per mcated by q general willingness to comprise, but marked nevertheless 'N pittlli lIllNl dAlollS bL ulNtlGt Ild- tional viewpoints.
 Italy Claims Precedence
 Mr. Stimson's proposal was accept ed unanimously although Italy gave notice that she felt her claim for parity with France should have had precedence and that she would ac- Ccpt the decisions regarding lmita- tion methods only on condition that she have a day in court later.
 The Italian dissent was presented in pungent phrases by Dino Grandi. Italian foreign minister, known by everyone to speak the full determin- alton of Premier Mussolini. He de clared that while the whole parity question might be left aside. Italy was willing that the physical terms of limiting navics be considered.
 In the end, therefore. Col. Stim- sons motion had q unanimous vote.
 Jardicu Presents Plan
 The French compromise plan was presented by Andre Tardieu, the ar engagement he proposed permitting shifting to q limited extent of ton mage from ono class to another to satisfy national needs within the to- tai tonnage allowed. Neither he nor any other of this mornings speakers got down to cases or mentioned any exact figures.
 Hugh $. Gibson, American ambas- sador at Brussels and veteran of the abortivc Geneva conference, detailed to the COnfcrcCs how the United States had always stood for definite limits in each category. but now. not to stand in the way of negotiations nor 10 impose its will on other na- tions. was ready to consider the French compromise.

Judge Bernard F. Galfncy will not be Il candidate for the office of probate court judge when his present term expires next October, he said today.
 TWcnty-slX years Of continuous service as administrator of the af- fairs of probate court will come 10 an end. It is a state law that all probate court judges must retire when they reach the ago of 79 years. Although Judge GatGncy will not be 70 years old until about nine months after the election in the fan he does not wish to leave the Of fee in the middle of term.
 Despite the fact that he is ncar- ing the roth milestone he is active and intimate friends close to him declare that he will not so into re- llrcment. His future plans are ,n doubt but 1t is said that he may .oln his three sons, Attorneys Don ald Cyril r. and Leo V. Gaffncy m their office at the National Bank building.

 The @5th anniversary of his cleo tlon to the probate judgcship was celebrated by Judge GalIney on November l2. last.

Elctt in 1904 That election was q rclnaEkahle. personal victory for Judge Gaffncy who was run nlng on the democratic ticket at q tune when it seemed certain tha. the republican party would be sue ccsstul and would sweep every re- publican candidate with fl.
 Although Theodore Roosevelt re- sciNed a plurality Of gS7 votes ia his city, Judge Galtucy ran ahead of the democratic ticket and won yy - votes. Berlin gave Judge kIett Il margin Of 45 but New Bri,ain's margin of 27O more than ovcrcaulc that figure.
 Although probate court is in New Britain, legally it is the probate court of the district of Berlin. a provision which was insisted upon Ut the time the court was establish ed here.
