 Albany, Nov IS CUP )-Presi. dent-elect Frank D. Roosevelt to- day conferred with his advisors regarding the course he shall take at Washington within the next week. where he has promised to meet President Hoover in joint discussion of the war debt situa- ton.
 Only after receiving the advice of his closest political associates on a course of action, did the gov- ernor finally dispatch to MT Hoover his acceptanee of the presi- dents invitation to cooperate in consideration of the country's most pressing immediate problem.
 His acceptance, wired to MT Hoover too late to reach him at Pratt, Kansas, where he hoped to intercept the presidential special train, made no promises of action, nor did 1t pledge him to anything more than informal and personal interest in the problem.
 .'In the last analysis" he pointed out !, 'tthe immediate question. raised by the British, French and other notes creates responsibility which rests upon those now vested with executive and legislative au- thority."
 MT Roosevelt set no time for his conference at the White House.

 TO DISBAND

Although the City of Hartford has taken the initiative in passing a resolution recommending the dis continuance of the liquor squad of the police department similar ac- tion Is not contemplated in Wa terbury. The resolution was passed in the common council of Hart ford last evening and a petition will be sent to the legislative com mittee of the next general assem- bly requesting the repeal of the state enforcement act. It is ap- parently expected that other cities will join in the movement to im- press upon the next legislature the popular sentiment for a repeal of the state law. The citizens voted about Il to l for the repeal of the measure in the elections of last Tuesday.
 Superintendent of Police Joseph H.. Mclean remarked to-day that he was in favor of continuing with the emergency squad until the sta- tts of prohibition has been more definitely settled. He Is of the opinion that the squad has proved it's importance to the department in other phases of police work as to warrant it's continuance. It IS needed to prevent the return of white slave gangs and to suppress gambling.
 The emergency squad and its predecessor the vice squad has been in existence for nearly i3 yeArs. The growing sentiment against prohibition. the vote of tho electorate last week and the re- ported actions of governors par doning liquor law offenders and of indicated that as an offensive against liquor law violators the emergency squad had almost reached the end of the journey.
