BOSSY' GILLIS
 IN LIFE BATTLE
MayOr-EIect of Newbury- port Has Pneumonia;
 Not in Danger

Newburyp0rt, Mass, Dec. 20- (UP)-Witli his inauguration only a week away, Mayor-elect Andrew J. (Bossy) Gillis was fighting for life today against the ravages of bron- cl1ial pneumonia. Dr. Daniel L.. Leary, the attending physician, told the United Press today: MT. GilliS had very restful night. He is very comfortable this morning. With bronchial pneumonia, there is no such thing as crisis. Barring un- foreseen complications, I believe he will recover.'
 Built for Pneumonia
 It was pointed out, however, that pneumonia unusually was more dan- gerous with a man of the physique of the -chested, 220 pound mayor elect. Ironically, the pneumonia de- veloped from a cold contracted while Bossy was playing Santa Claus at a children's Christmas party. Bossy was stricken only few weeks after winning third term as mayor of Newburyport. During his first two terms his two-f1sted tactics and verbal thunderbolts made him na- tional news figure.
 Faithful Wife at Side
 A trained nurse and Bossy's wife, whose astute management was cred tied with bringing Gillis victory in the recent campaign, were at his bedside. It was Mrs. Gillis who ad- vised her loquacious husband that silence is golden" Taking her ad- vice, Bossy did not make single speech during the campaign and was elected by 8 record vote.
 If sufficiently recovered by next Monday, Bossy may be permitted to take the oath of office at his home. If not, his predecessor, Mayor Gay- den w. Merrill, may remain in office as the law states that "the mayor shall remain in office until his Suc- ceSSor is duly qualified"

 OPPOSES FORCE

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 39-CUP)- Opposition to force in any form to further the cause of the Jewish so- ciolist verband, was voted unani- mously at the 17th annual conven- ton of the New England branch Sunday.

ALFRED E. SMITH
 STIRS CAPITAL
Refusal to Be Guest at White House Picked Up
 By Republicans

Washington, Dec. 30-(UP)-Offi- cial Washington was puzzled and excited today by the refusal of AL fred E. Smith to accept the hospi- tality of the White House.
 Political interpretation of Smiths refusal of Mrs. Roosevelt's invita- tion to spend the night of Jan. 25 as the Roosevelt's guests was con- fused. White House invitations sell dom are declined.
 May Join G. o. P. Camp
 Republicans saw Smiths refusal as indicating the happy warrior" would pitch his tent in the repub- lican camp in the 1886 presidential battle. Some democrats believed 1t was of little political significance.
 Smith is coming to Washington to make the principal address before an American Liberty League meet ing on Jan. 25. The league has been consistently hostile to the Roosevelt administration. and the meeting is expected to develop additional criti- cism.
 Is Non- COmmittal
 The former New York governor and 1928 democratic presidential nominee has been non-committal on his speech. Earlier ill the adminis- tration he was mildly critical of the New Deal. He has given no public indication of a change in attitude.
 The White House declined to comment on the Smith invitation. It vas learned that Mrs. Roosevelt sent it several weeks ago. when she learned he was coming to Washing ton. Smith revealed Saturday that he would not accept.
 Impossible to Accept
 He will be with party of friends and plans already made make it im- possible for him to accept, he eX- plained. The Smith party will stop at a Pennsylvania avenue hotel two blocks from the White House.
 Political leaders generally were wary of comment. The situation was not displeasing to republicans. Dem ocrats refused to believe Smith would turn traitor in 1886.
 Most political leaders preferred to await Smiths Liberty league speech before placing themselves on record regarding the Happy War rior's" actions. Speaker Joseph W. Byrns had nothing to say" Sen- 1 atoy Hugo Black, democrat. Ala baraa, was mot commenting"

 Gov. Will Set Date
 Governor Hoffman said that he, personally, would set the date of the next meeting of the court.
 T haven't decided yet when l will call the session." he said as he came out of tine room where the court met.
 The governor said it still was his impression that he had no power to issue a reprieve to the convicted man and said he had mo present intention of using it even if I have the power"
 The governor said that Anna Hauptmann, wife of the former German machine-gunner, would not be permitted to appear before the court. He reported that Dr. J. F. tJafsie) Condon, principal states witness against Hauptmann, had rot requested to appear. Hearing To Be Brief
 The governor indicated the hear ing of the Hauptmann appeal for Altfasncy would he brief.
 undefGtand. ne said, this court does not get into the position of re- trying q case. The court is one of mercy. Its members must be satis- lied as to the guilt or innocence of | any prisoner before it. In this par ticular case if the man is completely guilty he is entitled to no mercy on the basis of anything l can see.'
 Governor Hoffman said that fail- fire to set a date for considering the Hauptmann plea may be so that we can keep it within control, 50 there will be as little ballyhoo as possible"
 The governor has been accused of reviying issues in the case mere ly for purposes of publicity for him. self.
 The governor, who had advocated that the court permit Hauptmann to appear before it, reported that s'there is no present disposition on the part of the court to call Haupt- man before it."
 As the governor left his office to go to lunch he met Ellis H. Parker, famed chief of Burlington county detectives.
 Parker consistently has claimed that Hauptmann could not have been alone in the Kidnapping and staying of the first son of the Lind- bergts.
 Parker said he discussed duck hunting with the governor and that the Hauptmann case was not mem tioned.

Purdue, Indiana and the 1llini were
tied Tuesday for second place at sew
en- victories and three defeats.
Wisconsin, idle Monday night,
headed the parade with eight victor
les and two defeats, but faces the
prospect Of at least one more beat
ing.
Badgers Must Meet Purdue
The Badgers figure to get around
Chicago Saturday night, but will have
to reach heights to beat Purdue at
Lafayette next Monday. In addition
to Wisconsin, Purdue has yet to meet
Northwestern at Evanston, which
stacks up as q Boilermaker victory.
Indiana meets Northwestern Sat-
urday and tackles Minnesota at Min
neapolis the week following. The
schedule apparently gives the Hoos-
iers none the better OF it. Illinois,
however, appears cinch to win its
two remaining contests, meeting
Minnesota at Champaign Saturday,
and Michigans hapless crew at Ann
Arbor next Monday.
Iowa snapped its losing streak at
six straight conference defeats, beat
ing Michigan, 81 to Is. at Ann Arbor.
