 William P. (Red) McNlanus, 27, of Boston's South Ennd, named by prison officials as the leader of the prison breakers, died at the prison infirmary last night of bullet wounds wounds in the chest and abdomen. He was sentenced in New Bedford in 1929 to three con- secutive seven-to-eight-year terms for armed robbery and Inurderous assault.
 Served Less Than Month
 The second convict who lost his life was Philip Naples, g, of Wor- cester, who had served less than a month of 8 16-to-20-year sentence for armed robbery.
 Four other men, wounded in con- nection with the break, were re- covering today. They were Charles P. O'Brien, 28, of Dorchester, serv- ing IS to 20 years for armed rob- bery, who was recaptured only after being shot in the calf of his left leg; Guard Edward J. Shaughnessy. who was stabbed by one of the fugi- tives; Guard Michael ODonnell, who was slugged with a piece of pipe, and William Mcdonald, a trusty and life-term prisoner, who also was slugged while assisting the slain Richards.

GOV. CURLEY IS
 SEEKING SENATE

Rockland, Mass, Dec. 4.--(UP)-- Governor James M. Curley is can. didate for the democratic nomina- tion for U. s. senator. He an- nounced his candidacy on a social security platform in Q speech before the 65th anniversary meeting of the St. Alphonsus Total Abstinence and Benevolent Society of Rock land. The governor said he has decided to go to the U. s. senate fin order that I may be able to do my full share to further this social welfare program, upon which, in my opinion, depends the preser- vation of the American republic"
 Curley will seek the seat now held by Senator Marcus A. Coolidge (d) Fitchburg. If elected, he would be- come the junior senator from Mass chusetts and a colleague of Senn- tor David I. walsh. Senator Walsh was strongly anti-Curley in the last gubernatorial campaign.

 3. A probable credit of 100000 900 lire ($81 1,000,000) for the pur- chase of oil to be arranged through the subsidiary with the parent company.
 4. The agreement to be effec- tive only if and when the league ap- plies all oil embargo.
 Denial Anticipated
 Denial of the agreement was arl- ticipated but is was expected to have important repercussions in Wash ington and Geneva. But the news was checked carefully for three days before this dispatch was written and the United Press correspondent IS confident of its veracity.
 (Walter c. Teagle, president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, denied the agreement em- phatically to the nUited Press in New York. He said 1t was im- possible of fulfillment and sounded like a piece of "preposterous propa- ganda.")
 The question was asked in some quarters whether disclosure of the agreement might prevent its frui- tion. Elsewhere its effect on the proposed oil embargo of the league was discussed, inasmuch as oil pro- ducing nations in the league, while ready to impose an embargo, are ready to do so only if they have the tacit support of other producers, not ably the United States. There was speculation also whether the agree ment, calculated to defeat any ef- fort of league nations to punish

 Asmara, Eritrea, Dec. 4-(UP)- Indications that @ big scale fight, the first of the Italian Ethiopian war, may take place on the north- ern front became increasingly strong in the eyes of observers to- day.
 Ethiopians are increasingly active both in the area south of Makale, where they are advancing, and in and behind the Makale line where they are harassing Italian outposts and lines of communication.
 It was announced today that southwest of Makale there was a skirmish in which four Italian reg ulars were killed. Ethiopian casual ties were not specified.
 Small Skirmish
 Another small skirmish, it was said, occurred in the mountainous region north of the Takkaze river which is the Italian front line in some areas to the west. One white Italian soldier was wounded in a skirmish yesterday near Makale be- tween an Italian outpost detach- ment and Ethiopian warriors. The skirmishes, trivial as they were, were taken as connected with the advance of Philippians in great numbers toward the Makale region. It is reported that between 5000 and 100000 warriors under Ras Kas- sa, probably Ethiopia's strongest military leader, are concentrated in the Lake Ashangi district 60 miles south of Makale. These men are expected to advance northward.
 Ras Siy0um Alone
 Ras Siyoum, commanding troops in the immediate vicinity of the Italian lines, is reported to be lead- ing 30,000 warriors toward Amba Alagi, 36 miles south of Makale, where he would join the vanguard of Ras Kassa's men. Incidentally there were reports that Siyoum himself had gone to Europe.
 (The last two Italian reports re- garding Siyoum were first that he had been killed by an aerial bomb. secondly that he was very active in Guerrilla tactics behind the Ital- ians lines)

ARMIES READY
 FOR BIG FIGHT
Continued from Page 1.o

(Conttnued from Page 1) white soldiers have been killed and only about 100 Dubat. and Askari native troops, who are in the fore front of all advances.
 It is estimated that Italy has 100000 men in East Africa-reg- ulars, fascist militiamen and native troops. Of these 50,000 are estim- ated to be the Dubat troops who do the fighting on the southern front. It is estimated that there are in all 300 airplanes, mostly three-motored bombers; 500 tanks, 35,000 mules and horses and at least 5000 camels.
 Cost Not Really Known
 The cost of the campaign for 60 days is not known. Official figures show that up to Sept. 30. 2,320, ,296.- 000-(B) lire $1$187, ,943,9 ,976) had been taken from the treasury's East African fund. It is conserva- lively estimated that the cost since the Italians crossed the Mareb ri- yer which forms the frontier of Fri Urea and Ethiopia Oct. 8 has been 10000 lire ($8l0.000) a day.

 yubilant Over Meriden
 Local democrats were jubilant over the party's victory yesterday in Meriden when Mayor Stephen l.. Smith was reelected for another two-year term. It marked the fourth consecutive democratic vic- tory in Meriden and established a record for that town. This is Mayor Smiths second victory. The first two terms were served by U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney.
 The Meriden victory, Town Chairman Crary said to-day. is an encouraging. one because it will undoubtedly help to keep New Ha- ven county in the democratic column where it was swept last year in the state and county elec- tion.

What "Bossy" Plans

Newburyport, Mass, Dec. 4(UP) --Bossy Giilis, who cheerfully re- minded friends that life begins at 40" when he reached that milestone few months ago, today was able to say T told you so."
 Returns from yesterdays mayoral election gave him comfortable 925 vote margin over City Council President John Matthew Kelleher, following a "say-nothing" campaign that was a strange contrast to the clowning antics of the hed-headed ex-sailor of other days. When he was first elected mayor in 1927 his margin was only 495 votes, and when he won a second term in 1929 this dwindled to 8 mere 40 votes.
 For his third term in the $1,200 year post. Bossy who hopes to be called Andrew J., promises a "co- operative" administration.
 Turned Over New Leaf
 He won't be dictator, he indi- cated. At least, not at first.
 'This is gonna be a cooperative administration" he said. "A lotta small manufacturing places have folded up during the past four or five years. I'm gotta try and interest the city's bankers in the situation. Wen try and work together.
 I'm even going to ask my de- feated opponent, as president of the city council, to help me in getting business back here"
 However, if the bankers and in- dustrialists don't want to play ball" with Bossy, he says he'll paddle his own canoe.
 Thus "Bossy" served notice he may revert to the iron-fisted methods of his earlier regime. In those days he dished out political plunas to his pals and punches to his foes and served Q jail term for violating 8 city zoning ordinance.
 Will Be Shake-Up
 Naturally" according to the 40 year old mayor -elect, there will be shakeup in city departments when he takes office in January. Just who will be discharged, Bossy won't say yet, but the welfare department is known to be a particularly sore spot.
 Bossy, who operates three gasoline stations specializing in seven gal- Ions for dollar Git used to be eight), was swept into office yester- day in the heaviest balloting in the city's history. Final resurns gave "Bossy" 4,0l1 votes and Kelleher, 3,086.
 No parade marked the victory of the ex-mayor, who insists he now is an "ex" clown.
 Were saving our good times for later he explained. We plan to give the kiddies . Christmas party soon. Them kids are great. If they could vote, I'd be mayor by a three or four thousand majority"

Mussolini, would be agreed upon and made ready for presentation without delay.
 This plan is regarded as certain to be acceptable to Ethiopia and the League, because Britain is not disposed to go further than they would. Italian acceptance is prob- lematical.
 It is believed that Laval and Hoare at Paris will examine the ad- visibility of taking the initiative again and submitting their peace outline to Mussolini before putting on the oil embargo.
 The Paris understanding of the peace plan is that it would be based on that of last August which pro- videS for an international mandate for Ethiopia under which Italy would play the dominant role.
 There would be an exchange of territory, in Italy's favor, in which Italy would get some Ethiopian ter- ritory and Ethiopia would get a cor- ridor to the sea probably through British Somaliland.
 Italian Communique
 Rome, Dec. 4.-UP)-The gov- ernment issued 8 communique to- day denying that an oil monopoly had been granted to Standard Oil of New York"
 The story of the oil deal as car- ried by the United Press said the o orraa.,, aat xr,oc hotx,oy1 tIa Tto1io Y, government and s. I. A. F., 8 sub sidiary of Standard Oil of New Jer- sey.
 When the discrepancy was called to the attention of the government press bureau there was no com ment other than, perhaps a mis- take has been made"
 The text of the denial read:
 Certain American and British newspapers have printed story re- garding an alleged oil monopoly which the Italian government is supposed to have granted to Stan- dard Oil of New York. Such stories are completely destitute of founda- tion."
 Observers noted that the denial did not deny that an agreement had been reached with s IA P where by this Americarl-controlled com- pany agreed to furnish Italy with petroleum if required in case of league embargo.
 Britain SkepticaI
 London, Dec. 4.-(UP)-Well ir1- formed sources expressed skepticism today of the success of any effort by Italy to defeat a League of Ma tions oil embargo by contracting for oil through an agreement with the Societa Americana Del Petro- lio, subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
 Rumania, one of the sources named under the reported agree ment, has offered to shut of oil supplies to Italy if all other oil pro- ducing countries did.
 There never has been any inten- tion of declaring an embargo un- less all producers joined.
 If an oilem bargo were imposed, Rumania would bar any shipment for Italy regardless of the owner ship of well involved. Also if an ef- fort were made to ship oil to Italy, or its colonies, say from Irak, which is under British influence and is participating in penalties in its own behalf, this effort would fail accord ing to experts here.

 few days later for Vitale, and he surrendered to U. s. Commissioner Harry Krasow. The commissioner found probable cause against all three on charges of being in possess sion of, and attempting to pass, counterfeit money, and bound them over to the federal court.
 Meantime, local police and feder- al agents began search for Wheelerf whom they suspected of being im- plicatd in the passing of counter felt money in this part of the state.
 Wheeler, according to police, has revealed that he bought the counter felt money in New York, and then brought 1t to this city, where he transferred it to Vitale, Crupo and Capobianco, the latter three dispos- ing of it as real currency.
