However, if the republi- cans remaining on the new board forces will be in the majority in the new board of aldermen and they will not look with favor on Attor- of aldermen line up with the Cor bett forces against the choice of Att torney Spellacy there is likeli- hood that the aims of the former national committeeman may be up- set.
 The board of aldermen has the power of electing 8 mayor from out- side its own group. However, they could elect one of their brother al- dermen for the post.
 Funeral of Mayor Elect
 Mayor-elect Pilgard's funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. Services will take place at his home at 2 o'clock and burial will be at Cedar Hill cemetery.
 Leaders of the party from all parts of the state are expected to attend the services of the man who, arriving in the United tSates as 8 poor immigrant boy, built up a pros- porous wholesale grocery business, became leader in civil affairs and director of several banks and was finally elected mayor of the Capital City of Connecticut at the age of 60 years.

 stand was hundreds of officials, in- cluding vice-President John N. Gar ner, Secretary of War George H. Dern, Speaker of the House of Rep- reSentatives Joseph w. Byrnes and more than two score United States Senators.
 Dern was President Roosevelts s official representative. Prior to Mur- phys reading of the proclamation, the secretary of war delivered to the people of the Philippines Amer ica's official greeting and benedic- tion. After administration of the oath of office, Quezon, who once served as corporal in the revolution ary army and leader in the long campaign for independence, deliver ed his inaugural address.
 Striving for Liberty
 we are seeking the Intuition of our age-old striving for liberty" he said. We are witnessing the final stage in fulfillment of the noblest undertaking ever attempted by any nation in its dealing with a sub- ject people" In the background were strongly reinforced detachmentS of the islands constaDularymen, guard ing against the slightest sign of dis order. Recurring rumors recently have told of purported plots for assassination of Quezon and other governmental leaders by members of the Sakdalm party and other left wing followers of General Emilio Aguinaldo, revolutionary leader who once was president of a short-lived Philippines republic" or other eX- termist leaders.
 An Enormous Task
 Tt is an enormous task to pre- pare ourselves fully for independ- ence. we shall be beset with serious difficulties. But We will resolutely march forward" Quezon said. T appeal to your patriotism, and sum- mon the nobility of your hearts so that we may be united in common endeavor as once more we dedicate ourselves to realization of our na- tional destiny" AS his first official act, Quezon signed three documents. The first called fo all commonwealth officials to take the oath of alleg- lance to the United States as. well as the new government, the second gave him command of all Philip pines armed forces and the third convoked the new assembly for November 9.

 Meyer contended that under agreements subsequent to 1926. the Connecticut Electric now was a creditor of the New Haven road, be- cause of a merger of the latetr com- pany and the Connecticut company. He said the same trustees for each road would result In more econ- omcial reorganization and operation and that Martins fears were groundless.
 Judge Hincks Suggests
 Judge Hincks suggested the Con- necticut Electric immediately file its claim as a separate proceeding, af- ter which the court would determine to which debtor company the claim was against and would be in po- sition to determine if appointment of the same trustees would result in administration conflict.
 Judge Hincks asked Meyer whe- ther the New Haven Road would attempt to obtain interest payments from the Connecticut Company on advances made the subsidiary.
 T see no reason why the New Haven Road should not seek to ob- tain interest on its investment" !" Meyer replied.

 May Pass Ordinance
 The republican-controlled board of aldermen has been considering passing an ordinance which would give them the power to name the incoming mayor before they lose their majority on the aldermanic body. However, as such action would apparently need approval of the legislature, because 1t would, in reality amount to amending the Hartford charter, the republicans are reticent to take such Q step, realizing that they face certain re- versal in the courts. Furthermore, no vacancy will really exist in the mayoralty post until December ?, midnight.
 As 8 result it is expected that Mayor J. Watson Beach, the out going republican mayor, will hold the office of mayor, in a defacto capacity, after the expiration of his term at midnight, December 2, then deliver the oat hto the incoming aldermen and preside at the organ ization meeting of the new, demo- cratically controlled aldermanic body, until his successor is decided upon.
 Spellacy in Fight
 Mayor-elect Pilgard was the choice of former National Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy in the caucus in which Attorney Corbett was de- feated. He will attempt to have his man named as the democratic mayor Beach.
 It is believed that Fire Commis- sioner McNally is the first choice of Attorney Spellacy while the Corbett forces, acceptable to the Corbett forces may possibly be satisfactory to the Spellacy group also. It is believed that MT. Filon will not con- sider the post while MT. Ahern is said to have much support among the Pilgard forces. The Spellacy

 Macdonald Goes Down
 The main government casualty was J. Ramsay Macdonald, former leader of the labor party, who brought 1t to the height of its pow CT as prime minister.
 Hated bitterly by the labor party because he joined the conservatives in the present coalition government he was defeated in his constituency of Seaham after 8 vitriolic cam paign, by E. Shinwell, laborite, with a vote of 38,38o to 17,882.
 Macdonald, lord president of the council, may remain in the govern ment, however, and his long, dram atic political career is not necessar- lily ended.
 It was expected some seat would be found for him by the resignation of some pro-government nonentity in safe constituency. Macdonald would contest the seat in a bye- election whose result would be a foregone conclusion.
 Simon Had Close Call
 Sir John Simon, home secretary in the cabinet and leader of the lib- eral national party, was reelected by the narrowest margin from his con- stituency of Spen Valley. He boiled 21,671 votes against 2l,029 for Ivor Thomas, laborite.
 Malcolm Macdonald, minister of colonies, a national laborite and son of Ramsay Macdonald, was the first cabinet casualty. He lost his Basset- law division of Nottingham to F. J. Bellenger. a labor party man.
 King George and Queen Mary re- ceived the election returns by di- rect wires from London newspapers at Sandringham, their country es- tate. Prime Minister Baldwin and his family heard results at No. 10 Downing street, his official residence.
 Lady Astor was reelected for Plymouth and her son Maj. Wil- liam Astor won the Putnam working district of London as a conservative. Sir Malcolm Campbell, motor rac- ing champion, made his debut in politics as conservative candidate for Deptford Green in London. A labor man beat him.

 Harar is one of the main objec- tives towards which Graziani's forces have been driving ever since they entered Ethiopia from Italian Somaliland.
 Important Capture
 Capture of the city would put the Italians in position to strike at the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railroad and also to cut caravan routes from British Somaliland into Ethiopia over which Halle Selassie's armies are believed to have been receiving munitions and arms.
 Harar has been headquarters of the Ethiopian forces commended by Ras Nassibu, principal defender on the southeastern front. The con- centration of troops there has been estimated at from 150,000 to 200, 900 men.
 Ethiopian announcements have repeatedly stated that Nassibu would make a stand at Harar and that one of the principal battles of the war might be fought there

 Hitler has blanket power to make an exception in any case of mixed marriage.
 As regards marriage provisions in general the decree Stipulates that marriage ought not to occur where the expected progeny may endanger (the purity of) German blood.
 Laws More Lenient
 Issuance of rules for application of the laws ends months of uncer- tainty for Jews. They feared that the Nazi rules as decreed today would be even more severe than the original laws as passed at Nurem- berg. However, they are more lem tent. Tn their present form, at least. they do not restrict private business activities of Jews and in some re- spects they moderate the social pro- visions of the Nuremberg laws.
 Well informed persons trace the moderation to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, minister of economics and president of the Reichsbank, who is known to have argued stoutly against many drastic provisions which radical Nazis favored.
 The question which remained was whether the laws and rules as to their application would actually de- fine the Nazi attitude toward Jews and their treatment = nam ely, whether radicals would proceed out- side the framework of the laws to continue the eradication of Jewish influence from German cultural, professional and economic life.
 The Nuremberg laws, SO called. were passed by special reichstag meeting at Nuremberg. September IS. and an interpretation of them by the government had been awaited hnxicusly by Jews.

Ethiopians Routed
 By Italian Forces
Continued from Page D

The Italians at once set up hos- pital tents to care for their casual ties, and asked for supplies by air. plane.
 An officer who arrived to-day from the western side of the north- ern front, in front of the holy city of Aksum, told me that his band of native irregulars were seeking out Ethiopian warriors as if big game hunting.
 The only way his men had been able to engage in the five skirm- ishes they had with Philippians, he said, was to track them down to water holes like elephants, tigers and antelopes.
 These irregulars have been com- batting Ethiopian warriors and pil- lagers in the wild Adj Abo region, between Aksum and the Setit river, infested by crocodiles and hippo toms. They are excellent soldiers, my informant said, and most eager to fight. Squat Around Camp Fires
 At night they squat around the camp fires, he said, joking and singing, and one can often hear them cursing the Philippians for running, as they say, like ante lopes.
 Some of these men are old. Two are men of 70 who fought for Italy at Aduwa in 1896. They are still nimble, the officer said, full of en- durance and able to keep going for days on little tea, flour and sugar. They carry no tents as they must be light and fast to do mobile work with cavalry. The band is headed by Italian officers and native sergeants, all of whom ride mules. Camels follow the band, laden with supplies. The irregu- lars travel afoot.

Copyright 1895 by United Press.)
 With Gen. Rodolfo Graziani'S Troops, Southeastern Front, Nov l5.-(UP)-The fall of Harar was considered imminent as this dis patch was written.
 The important Ethiopian strong hold appears fated to collapse be- fore the persistent advance of the column led by Gen. Maletti, which is now virtually at the gates of Harar.
 (H. R. Ekins, United Press cor respondent at Harar, reported @ few days ago that the morale of the defenders of that strategically im- portant city appeared to be crumb- ling as Ethiopian troops which had encountered superiorily-armed invaders backwashed into the city, bringing tales of the havoc wrought by airplanes and tanks)
 Advancing Steadily
 After the bloody battle in the Faf valley, where 1t was reported 800 Ethiopians were killed, General Maletti's troops have been advanc- ing steadily.
 It is understood at the field headquarters from which T. am writing that they have now passed the Jijiga- -Harar crossroads.
 The Ethiopians are retreating be- fore the Italian advance. Tt is believed the forces which sought tC retard AGalettis advance are now fast falling back on kiarar to rein.
