Washington. D. C.-Senator Borahs decision not to attend the republican national convention next month-even through con gress may be in recess--has raised many conjecturcs as to what part he may play in the campaign. Whether 1t be in the role of Achilles. or what have you? can bo determined only by subsequent events. but the absence of the sem ator from the ratifying convention of his party Is generally regarded as detracting further from the slight interest heretofore shown in connection with that gathering.
 "What. No Borah!" exclaims the Baltimore Sun as caption to the following editorial comment:
 "Although the country must by this time have grown accustomed to Senator Borah who Is cool and distant to his party leaders In May and becomes n pillar of ardent flames by September. the news that he will not attend the nation al convention at alI--even to look on--suggests that this time he may be mad and mean 1t.
 "Obviously therc is no practical reason why the senator should nt- tend tho Chicago convention any
 more than there has been any req son why he should have attended any republican convention since 1024, to put 1t conservatlvely. Mr Hoover will be nominated again. despite the threat from our own Dr France, just as MT Coolidge was nominated in 1924. The party platform will not include n plank demanding recognition of Soviet Russia. and the convention will not make tho senator n candidate for vice. president. Indeed, the only thing that could happen at Chica- go to Affect Senator Borah Is that he might again be swept away In a tumult of enthusiasm and later find himself. willy-nilly. out in the sticks campaigning for Mir Hoover,
 "Tndecd, 1t may be his own rec ognitlon of this danger that hns guided Senator Borah to his start ling decision. If that is tho case. he is probably wise. for the areas into which the committee would doubtless assign Senator Bornh art not likely to he thlrsting for tho Message of the Happy Home thls yenr. But for everybody else the senator's nbstention will be Il mat for for regret.

 Tho Connecticut company has declined to consider tho counter demand of It's employees seeking an increase for It's bus operators. mo- tormen and factory employees. It is likely that the question of wages will eventually be submitted to the state board of arbitration.

RULING TO BAN
CITY PROPOSAL
Sunday Closing Ordinance
Be Called Illegal.

With the 1888 city budget not
ready for consideration, the city
council tonight will consider ordi-
nances introduced in earlier meet
ings, establishing new regulations
for tn euses of fumigating gas and
prohibiting Sunday operation of
grocery stores.
Two weeks remain until the last
meeting at which the council can
approve the city's financial program
10 be submitted by William Elder,
city controller.
Passage of the Sunday closing or
dinance appears improbable in view
of an opinion which will be pre-
sented to the council by Herbert
Spencer, assistant city attorney,
that the proposed measure is I'M
constitutional.
An old state law on Sunday bust
ness prevents the city ordinance,
because of the state law that NUM-
cipalities can not legislate on mat
tiers covered by state law.
The regulatory measure on use. of
fumigating gas was introduced by
the council safety committee at the
behest of the police and fire de-
partments. 1t provides that at least
80 per cent of warning gas must be
included in the hydro-cyani mix
ture used for discriminating rodents
