 Was Oral Challenge
 Japan's notification of It's chal. lenge of the legality of . four power conference was made orally. In tic Japanese view, it was held, Q four power conference would be contrary to the Washington naval treaty, as that envisaged another five power meeting. British and American delegations agreed today to inform the Japanese that in their opinion the departure of one delegatoin cen
 not prevent the others from COt1s tjnuing without in any way vioiat- ing the Washington treaty. The Americans and British are working in complete harmony, 1t b said.
 The secretariat of the conference notified delegates today that the next meeting ig to be held at 2 D.. m. tomorrow. Then the Japanese expect to leave. They plan to leave co an unofficial observer Capt. D. RuJAt4D klhVh4 AttbCki0 " tAhe okISs basgy here. He will be an invisible observer, for he is not expected even to attend sessions.
 Others to Garry On
 Delegates of the United States, the British empire, France and Italy intend to carry on, seeking to reach . four power agreement on limitation of sizes of individual types of wATships and of gun calibres. Any attempt ct agree. nsent on actual naval strength would necessarily include an es. cape clause under which the United states and Great Britain would be released ii1 order to match any Jap- anege building program. 4 naval conference intended to replace the washington and London treaties which expire December sI; seemed co ItS end co far aB an all-ins elusive agreement vas ce1oerned. ft was wrecked, es every one ex- pected from tho first day, on the Japaneas dsEnand tog 6 'eommen

derstood, is to ask the federal dis- trict court in Trenton or Newark for Q writ of habeas corpus on c constitutional point.
 If the district court refuses tho writ, as most observers believed 1t would, the lawyers would 90 to higher and higher courts until they again reach the supreme court. The high tribunal, already has refused to review Hauptmanns conviction.
 Hoffman, once believed to Do Hauptmanns best bet for escape from the chair, stayed in New York all yesterday and was busy to-day with details incident to opening of the legislature. His secretary said he probably would make no gtate- Inent about HauptrnAnn until to. morrow, if then.
 Pressure on Governor
 Powerful political pressure bore on the governor to prevent intsr- cession for Hauptmann. His author. fly to grant Q seprieve was doubts ful and . strong democratic min. ority in the legislature IauFmurod threats of Impeachment # ho overs stepped constitutional bounds. Hoffman killed finally any possi. bility that pr. John Y. (Jafssie) Condon would he brought back from Central America to answer quess tons about his part in the Gindo bergh kidnapping case.
 Although Hoffman announced Saturday that he intended to or. der Jaffsie "apprehended" aboard the 6. 6. santa Rita, on which he sailed Friday for Panama and South America, his secretary said to-day;
 "The governor never had any in. tention of having pr. Condon brought back"
 iEauptmann spent his time, as he has for three days, reading tho voluininous record of his Fleriing- ton trial. It was his own contribu- tion to his fight for life, Q search for c bit of contradictory testi- lnony or an error of procedure thAt might win . reprieve.

1 men is supporting Lieut.. James Mulviile for this post.
 AS matters stood today, there ape peared 0 strong probability that the situation would remain a stalenlate for Q time. Under the city charter, the superintendent, while less than 66, can be retired only for cause or because of physical disability. Tn either case he can appeal to the superior court to set aside the rul. ing of the board of police commits sioners. The board has the author. fly, when the superintendent is 66, to remove him if 1t chooses. Supt. Mclean will not be 66 for almost five years.
 Rally to His Support.
 Friends of supt. Mclean have rallied to support him, and were preparing to rouse strong public sentiment opposing any move to oust him. Though nominally Q re. publican, Supt. Mclean has many friends in democratic ranks.
 The new charter of the City of Waterbury, approved by the State General Assembly in 1881, stipulated that the superintendent could be re- moved only for the reasons related above. The superintendent, how- ever, the charter says, need not be Q member of the police department though all other officers must be promoted from the ranks. It will be recalled that supt. George M. Beach now retired, was not Q policeman when he was appointed superin- tendent. In regard to the fire de- partment the charter says that t must have chief but does not specifically state that he shall have been c member of the fire depart. ment when named to the post.
 Chief Lynch, 1t is said, has not yet decided upon 0 definite date for submitting his resignation, but will do SO in the near future. Floods recently caused heavy damage to agriculture in Colom-
