SECRET HEARINGS
 ARE NOT WANTED
Mrs Gloria Vanderbilt Will Enter Protests Against
 Court Order

New York, Oct 6-(UP)-Mrs Gloria Vanderbilt, through counsel will vigirously protest against se- cret hearings when hearings of her suit to regain custody of her 10 year old daughter from Mrs Harry Payne Whitney is resumed in su- preme court Monday.
 Justice John F. Carew an- nounced that further hearings would be secret because he consid- cred evidence so far taken sean dalous. Nathan Burkan, Mrs Van derbilt's counsel, intimated his client considered this decision un- fair. He pointed out that the wit nesses for Mrs Whitney defamed Mrs Vanderbilt's character and method of living infthe glare of all possible publicity Mrs Wander bilt's refutation should be made under the same conditions, he said.
 Meanwhile, petition filed in surrogate's court revealed that Mrs Vanderbilt is entirely dependent on the income of her daughter. The child's guardians. George w. Wick ersham and Thomas B. Gifchrist. asked the court to approve a S4S,- 900 allowance to the mother for 1884, the same allowance she re- ceived in 1893, Despite this ex- pense, little Gloria's estate of S2.- S72,664 is increasing at the rate of $50,000 after all taxes and ad- ministrative expenses have been paid.
 The estate was left little Gloria by the late Reginald Vanderbilt. brother of Mrs Whitney who now has custody of Gloria. Mrs Whit ney charges Mrs Vanderbilt has been an indifferent parent. care- less of the child's physical and spiritual welfare and seeks to make her custodianship perma- nent.

CATALAN REPUBLIC MAY BE DECLARED
Situation ir. Barcelona Is SeriOus-W0uld Split
 Great Territory

Barcelona, Spain, Oct. 6.-(UP) A combination of leftwing politi- cal factions and socialists will at- tempt to declare a Catalan Repub- lie today in connection with the revolutionary strike against the Central government at Madrid.
 The situation in Barcelona was considered serious, with special Civilian guards patrolling the streets.
 Aspirations of the territory have been limited to a form of auton- omuS government.
 At the head of the movement to split the great Catalonian territory off from the Spanish republic is the so-called Alinza Obrea (work- CTS Alliance), which is a combina- tion of socialist and leftist factions.
 In addition, many anarchists are cooperating with the Alinza Ob- era in the movement for a Cata- Ian republic.
 There has been strong move ment for separating Catalonia from the Spanish Republic, but under the present regime the inde- pendence aspirations of the ter ritory have been limited to a form of autonomous government.
 Authorities said the situation in Barcelona region was growing worse and that there was a strong feeling of nervousness among the people.

IS DISMISSED
 BY COURT
Claimant Asks ReOpening of Award in Which
 Judgment Was Given
STIPULATION HAD BEEN
 ENTERED MAR. IS, 1883
Agreemnt Signed By Mis- take of Fact Claimed
 DespOndent

Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch dismisses the claim of Mrs Mary V. Wallace of this city asking for the reopening of an award against the Lux Clock Mfg Co.,, in a decision handed down today. It is perhaps the only time in recent years that such an unusual claim was presented to the court, inas- much as the claimant was party to the award by stipulation entered March IS, 1893, which gave her $765.
 (She sought, through her counsel, Attorney Vincent A. Miller to have the award reopened on the ground that the stipulation agreement was signed by mistake of fact. At the time her husband, William Wal lace, formerly of Fox street, was suffering from bcak condition claimed to have been the result oi an injury, March 29, 1932. His death occurred May 8, 1883.
 The claimant set up that her hus- bands injury was traceable to his occupation, for he fell and injured his back after he pushed his chair away from the desk at which he was seated. The question arose as to whether he was suffering from a condition known in medical terms as a carcinoma, spinal condi- ton.
 In his finding, Commissioner Lynch states that doctors in the case were hoplessly in disagree ment as to the exact nature of the injury. It was not until an autop- sy was performed that the carcin- oma was found to have been truly existing.
 Commissioner Lynch in com menting upon the case says: do not believe that the Commis- sioner has power to reopen and award based upon a stipulation for commuted or lump sum settle ment unless there be fraud, acci- dent or mistake.
 "In the present case a large num- Der of doctors examined the de- ceased and they were hopeless!y divided as to whether or not Wal

Dismantling Started To- day-Men Make Escape
 in Weeds

Bullets fired by federal agents and state policemen failed to halt two men who had been operating two stills in a deserted woodland sec tion of Terryville yesterday afternoon, and the pair made g safe escape into the woods. The combined forces of state troopers and federal men found in the deserted hideout one still with an 850-gallon capacity, a quantity of alcohol. and more than 1000 gallons of mash.
 After finding the location of the still on an almost inaccessible back. road, the agents and troopers, eight in number, swooped down on the place and found the still in opera tion. The two men who had ap- been operating it fled into the woods at the approach of the raiders and continued on, despite the fact that several shots were fired at them.
 A thorough search of the woods and adjoining territory failed to give any new traces of the two men. and the raiding party finally gave up the hunt. The men are said to be known. to the federal agents and 1t. is, reported that they are now being sought about the state.
 The still was ordered dismantled by the federal men and the Blakes- lee company of this city was in charge of the operations. The large still was described as being most modern. in type. while the smaller one was likewise said to have been of new design. The mash seized was in two 3500-gal- lon containers. and is the largest located in any federal raid n, the state in some time.

 Chairman Crary said: "In the past several years the democratic party has combed the city most completely while, at. the same time, the republicans have laid down.

 Chairman Palomba declared: For several years the republican organization has not carried on what might be called a really thor ough job of getting the names of new electors. This year the organ tzation of which am the head is leaving no stones unturned to get the names of new voters. While it is impossible at this time to quote a definite figure 1t is safe. in my estimation, to predict a total of close, to 2,500 names turned by the local republicans"
