his position in the 1896 campaign.
He had been quoted previously as
desiring to retire from the senate
and later to the effect that he had
reconsidered this decision. President

TOWN CLERK IS
 OUT OF DILEMMA
Will Handle No Doctors Certificates Only Those
 That Are Passed

Town Clerk Dora A. Egan will not have the handling of doctors certificates turning down couples who propose to be married under the provisions of the new marriage law which goes into effect on the 26th, it was disclosed. Contrary to previous opinion, prospective brides and grooms will have the right to visit their own physicians and un- satisfactory reports on their blood tests will remain the private prop erty of the doctors, Town Clerk Egan receiving only those certificates which are favorable to the couples wishing to be wed.
 Will Not Handle Blanks
 Furthermore, it was disclosed to- day, the town clerk will not have the handing out of blanks to pros- pective brides and grooms. Latest regulations insure absolute privacy for the couples desiring to be wed The blanks will be issued by the health department to the doctors of the city, instead.
 Prospective brides and grooms, be- fore filing their marriage intentions with the town clerk, will go to their doctors for blood tests. The doctors after taking blood samples, will for ward same to the state laboratory in Hartford. If unfavorable reports are received the doctors and patient: alone, will know of the fact. If thu reports are favorable the doctors will give certificates to the patient and the latter will take these t' the town clerk when filing nlarriag intentions.
 Only Favorable Reports Only favorable reports on bloot tests, therefore, will be in the hand of the town clerk and will be placet on record. Originally 1t was decided to. keep all records of blood test! private in the town clerks off1ce Town Clerk Egan will do this but it was pointed out, such action is no' necessary. With only favorable re. ports being given to the town clerk and with the licenses issued, as re- suit of the favorable reports, the fact that the couples are to be al. lowed to be married is sufficient proof that they have passed tht examinations. All unfavorable in formation will not be filed with thu town clerk and, therefore, will no be public record.

GOV. HOFFMAN
 WAS ACCUSED
New Jersey Chief Exeea. tive Told He Is Playing
 Game of Politics

Trenton, N. J, Dec. 9-(UP)-As- semblyman Crawford Jamieson Charged today that Gov. Harold c. Hoffman is attempting to ride to a republican presidential nomination on publicity from a spurious inves- tigation of the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., and the death sentence imposed upon Bruno Rich- ard Hauptmann.
 He threatened to dnvoke legis- lative investigation of Hoffman's motives for opening an executive inquiry unless the governor proves justice miscarried.
 Between Two Fires
 The charge and Hoffman's imme- diate, hostile retort caught Haupt- mann between the fires of warning political groups on the day the United States Supreme Court was expected to rule whether it would hear his case or leave him with only a court of mercy between him and the electric chair. The stolid Ger man carpenter showed openly few days ago that he hoped for much from Hoffman's investigation but suppressed his emotion today while waiting for the supreme court rul- ing.
 Jamieson, who said he was im- pelled to question Hoffman's mo- tives by "a sense of public duty" is

 Noted attorneys sitting in the gilt and marble chamber admitted after hearing the opinions which pro- ceeded the Hoosac argument that they had not been enlightened as to the possible trend of the courts AAA decision.
 Skirted the Question
 In the one case which had been mostly closely watched, the court skirted the vital question of state versus federal authority.
 This was the challenge of the in- dictment of Fred Hastings on charges of stealing cotton from a government bonded warehouse at Clarkesdale, Miss.

PEACE MOVERS.
 AROUND EUROPE
Rome Feels Something Is Near Breakfast Offer
 Considered Good
By LOUIS F. KEEMILE Limited Press Cable Editor

The next two days may determine whether there is to be peace in Africa or an extension of harsh penalties against Italy which may lead to war in the Mediterranean. The British and French foreign ministers have prepared formula for settlement which caused a strong current of optimism in London. Paris and Rome. Mussolini height ened the optimism when he ad- dressed the senate in two-minute speech in which he dropped his usual fire-eating attitude and said merely that Italy's interests would be "strenuously defended. Even more significant was an official news broadcast in Rome which re- ported the optimism in Paris and said Mussolini probably would send Baron Mompeo Aloisi, his chief negotiator, to Geneva shortly.
 Ethiopia Not Pleased
 A possible hitch, however, lay in the attitudes of Addis Ababa and Geneva. The Paris proposals, entail ing the cession of considerable portion of Ethiopian territory to

HAUPTMANN HAS LOST LAST HOPE
Supreme Court Refused Appeal-Not to Inter-
 vene in Death Penalty

Washington, Dec. g. (UP)-The United States supreme court today denied the plea of Bruno Richard Haupmann that 1t intervene in his fight to escape death in the electric chair for the Kidnapping and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.
 Court Said No Word.
 The court, without uttering a single word from the high bar of justice, blasted the German carpen- ter's plea for a review of the Flem- ington, N. J., trial which brought his conviction and death sentence. The denial was in a typewriter list of cases on which the court acted. 4 Ended His Last Hope.
 The action ended Hauptmann's last substantial hope of averti1g by legal maneuvers the execution or- dered by the Bennington court. Y Unless Hauptmann's attorneys can obtain Q writ of habeas corpus by convincing the courts that new and important evidence in the case has been uncovered, only the New Jer- sey board of pardons can now save him from the electric chair.
 No word of the supreme courts answer to Hauptmann's plea broke the placid solemnity of the crowd ed marble and gilt courtroom.
 Throngs of spectators attracted to the chamber to hear oral argu- ments in the Hoosac Mills test of the AAA processing taxes were not even aware that the decision had been handed down.
 Oonly slight hustle of newspa- permen at their desks below the bar where the nine rignified justices sat indicated anything unusual.
 Word of the Hauptmann ruling came to them on a white sheel of flimsy paper bearing the courts or- ders for the day. After the courts opinions of the day had been read, 8 youthful page book took the sheets from the clerks desk and distributed them silently to the newspapermen.
 There on a typewriter list of a score of cases was the simple mo- tation:
 "583-Hauptmann vs. the State of New Jersey,-the application for a writ of certiorari in this case is de- nied."
 Compressed into the 12 common place words of the court order was a new climax in the drama which began on the bitter night of March l, 1882 when a child was kidnapped from it's crib in the lonely Lindbergh home in the New Jersey Sourland mountains.
 In those 12 words the high court justices indicated that they had studied carefully the plea of Haupt- mann's attorneys and found that the processes of justice had been compiled with fully and fairly.
 Thus they swept aside the con- tention of the Hauptmann brief that the presence of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in the courtroom prej- udiced the case, that the trial con- stituted 8 circus maximus" and that Judge Thomas Trenchard and Attorney General David T. Wilent2 presented infiammatory and prej- udiced summations to the jury.

CONFERENCE ON NAvIES TODAY

 London, Dec. 9-(UP)-An Amer- ican appeal for 20 per cent reduce ton in naval strength, British call for firm agreement restrict- ing submarine warfare and Jap- anese demand for 8 just and fair' treaty-a bid for equality marked the opening of the five power naval limitation conference today.
 France and Italy, rivals in the Mediterranean, indicated in state- ments of policy that they will op- pose, at present, any binding long. term agreement because of the del- icacy and danger of the European situation.
 Delegates met, believing that they faced formidable and perhaps irn- possible task in seeking a compre- hensive naval treaty to replace the Washington and London treaties which expire Dec. 31, 1936. It was foreseen that, as soon as the busi- ness stage of the conference was reached, the delegates of the naval powers would be deadlocked. The United States. Great Britain. Japan, France and Italy were repre- sented, along with the British do. minionS.
 Eleven chief delegates. in all. outlined in speeches their coun- tries need and aims.
