 NOT SUSTAINED

Boston, Nov. 13.--(UP) Demo cratic councillors have blocked Gov- ernor Curley's efforts to oust pr. Winfred Overholser as state commis- sioner of mental diseases and held up other anticipated appointments to important posts. The appointment of pr. David L. Williams of Bos- ton to succeed Dr. Overholser was laid over second time yesterday and a public hearing on the matter requested by the Massachusetts Medical society will be held Thurs day.
 Though no major appointments were submitted to the council, there were two important political devel- opments:
 l.-Curley,s definite statement that he was considering" the re- moval of his former first secretary, Richard D. (Dick) Grant, as a mem- Der of the state public utilities com- mission because of his failure to coop:rate with Chairman (John J) Murray"
 2.-Ousting of Nathaniel N. P, Nichols, brother of former Mayor Malcolm E. Nichols of Boston, as a S.puty income tax collector.

D. G. DELEGATE PLAN
INDORSED BY GROUP
Piney Branch Citizens Oppose
Aliens Advisory Refer.
enda.

After voting to oppose the advisory
referenda plan set forth by Commis-
sioner Allen, the Piney Branch Citizens
Association last night passed resolu-
ton giving unanimous approval to
Senator Vandenberg's proposal to make
one of the three Commissioners a
Delegate in the House of Representa-
tiveS.
Under Vandenberg's proposal, made
yesterday. the District representative
would not have the voting privilege,
but would be allowed to enter In
debate on all local questions The
association pointed out this plan would
eliminate the costly and cumbersome
machinery necessary to elect q Dele
gate by popular vote.
In opposing the referenda plan, @. l.
Shorey, association president, stated
that the cost of ascertaining the
Districts opinions through use oi
referenda would outweigh the good
which might derive from such a vote
He also pointed out "the enormous
difficulty" of obtaining an accurate
expression of opinion in the District
through a popular vote.
In adopting the resolution, the
association instructed its delegates tt
take a corresponding position on the
matter at the next meeting of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
The delegates also were instructed
to oppose any suggestions brought ur
in the federation meeting to change
the election date of officers from
November to May.

here late Sunday with what he con-
sidered important evidence.
Finnigan told Of prisoner in a Chi
cago Jail who said he knew three men
possessing $4,000 of the Lindbergh
ransom money. It was possession of
such money that led to Hauptmann's
arrest. State police said Finnigan last
March had failed to give them details
on request.
Lawyers Take No Action.
Hauptmann's lawyers took no COIL
certed action yesterday. Judge Fred
erick Pope said last night that there
had been no conference of counsel
since the unfavorable decision OF the
Court of Pardons Saturday.
As the execution night neared tue
situation was this:
Hauptmann, cheerful and in good
spirits" was in the death house. only
few steps from the chamber of
death.
Gov. Hoffman, under some political
fire for having interested himself in
the case. was keeping whatever move
he may contemplate close secret. He
has expressed doubts that the exc
cution Of Hauptmann will clear up
the case.
Attorney General Wilentz. who Is
on the other side Of the political
fence, from the Governor. was keeping
his hands off-letting the case take
its course.
Robert Elliott, the executioner. had
his notification to be here Friday
night. 1t meant busy week, for on
Thursday night he Is to throw the
switch twice at Sing Sing Prison.
The two Washington defense law
yers, Nusent Dodds and Neil Burk-
inshaw, checked out Of their hotel
here after a quick trip from the
Capital, with no indication whether
they would seek to stay the execution

Supreme Court as had been implied
| when they were brought into the case
Sunday.
A meeting was held In New York
last night by citizens committee
Of 500" which announced it would
flood New Jersey with q brief in
Hauptmann's defense.
John L. Sundean, retired lawyer,

ing sent to professional people In Jer-
sey to arouse a demand "for respect
for law and that the rights Of every
man be preserved"

ported 1000 persons paid Is cents

BY REX COLLIER.

The Senate Munitions Committee
today sought to show that the House
Of Morgan was involved in "unneutral'
negotiations in 1914 between the Fed
eral Reserve Board anc the Bank of
England.
Correspondence in this connection
between Benjamin Strong, then gov
ernor Of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York. and j. p. Morgan was placed
in the record. The correspondence
spoke Of plans for setting up q corre-
spondent arrangement between the
New York and London institutions.
The committee drew from this cor
respondence an inference that such a
banking arrangement was a violation
of administration neutrality policy af-
fecting loans to nations at war.
After q brief tilt with Morgan and
his senior partner. Thomas w. Lamont.
over the Interpretation to be placed on
the interbank arrangement. the COM
mittee adjourned until 2 pm. when,
