Mahoney did not know whether official action of French's death would be taken, The case will he referred to Coroner William H. Leete of Hartford county, MT Ma honey said.
 Previous to Prosecutor Mahon- ey's order, Dick Dunn, racing pro- moter, had planned to go ahead with the schedule next Sunday. He had issued orders that all drivers in future races at Sage park must wear crash helmets. The drivers have helmets, 1t is said, but dislike to wear them.
