Mrs Esther Gaffney, wife of Dom ald Gaffney of New Britain and Mrs Lillian O'Connor, wife of pr Denis O'Connor of New Haven. : Although binding MT Hodson suggested to his children not to dispose of his securities and real estate unless the market was great ly improved. He advised that the beneficiaries retain possession par. ticularly of his realty holdings as he firmly believed that their future value would more than compensate them for waiting.
 Fred B. Hodson and Attorney William K. Lawlor are named executors. Tn, event of MT Lawlcr failing to qualify it is stipulated that Attorney Gaffney of New; Britain, another son-in-law. shall take his place.

On the other hand from the Goss camp came the declaration that Congressman Goss considers him. self safely elected and will not worry about any recount or inves- tigation that Judge 0ormley may ask for when the new congress c0nvenes.
 Judge Gormley in yesterdays statement said that he would not ask for a recount of the fifth dis trict, through the medium of the state courts but would reserve the right to ask for recount or fn- vestfgation from the new congress. This was taken to indicate that there would be the possibility lof a contest over the qualifications Of Congressman Goss instituted.
 The Goss camp stated that the recount at the hands of congress would be welcomed and that as far as an investigation into Congress- man Goss' qualifications this is not feared. The victor stated that he observed the rule of limitations concerning campaign expenditures and that no fraud was practiced in gaining the victory.
 The reason for the closeness of the vote is, it was stated, the ball. lots cast for the independent re- publican candidate. These votes would ordinarily have gone to Goss, 1t is claimed, thereby making his lead over Gormley greater than 1t was two years ago.
 However, both sides are resting on their guns now and will un- doubtedly do so until, the arrival of March 4th and the sitting of the new congress.
