Rooseuelt Visit Here Doubted By Officials
No Assurances Received President Is Coming Mayor Hayes Willing to Drive Him, But Doubts Very
 Much He Will Come to City

Doubt that Waterbury will receive a svisit from President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he stunps the state on the 23rd was expresyed today by LieutenanteG GpyeTncr E Rnk Hayes. The president is sure lY visit Hart ford and Middletown but whether or not he will take time out to visit the Brass City is very doubtful, Mayor Hayes said.
 No Assurance Given
 Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith also informed The Democrat that he has not received any assurance that President Roose- welt will come to Waterbury. Four years ago, he, recalled, Waterbury was supposed to be on the list of Connecticut cities to be visited by Roosevelt but he cut the Brass City of and shot from Hartford over to his home in Hyde Park, N. Y.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary said today that he would be willing to make arrangements for 8 recep- ton to the president If he chose to visit Waterbury. At the present time I don't know the first thing about any proposed visit" he said.
 Not at All Definite
 T would be willing to drive the president from Middletown to Wa terbury if he would be willing to come here," said Lieutenant Gov- ernor Hayes today. However, I doubt very much that he will be able to come to the city. The report that he will come is one of those things and is not definite. Any plans made for Waterbury stop by the presi- dent are only tentative at the pres ent time"
 President Roosevelt is expected to make stops in Hartford and Mid- dletown and possibly in New Haven. If he should come to Waterbury he would proceed from Middletown, Lieutenant Governor Hayes said this morning.

 we find," Almond said, "that Reich had been back in New Bed- ford 31 days yesterday after being released on parole from the prison at Jefferson City, Mo-, where he had served 35 months of 1ive-year sen- tence for burglary. Reich told us, !" Almond continued, "that on his re- turn to New Bedford he managed to get a job in an underwear factory at '$6.5O week. But he said that after working there only nine days, his boss discovered that he had served the sentence in the Missouri prison and fired him. After that, 1t appears that the youth was unable to find work, and he told us that the money at woods Store, though only 8 small sum, looked good to him"
 Following the purported confes- sion, Reich led police to Coggeshall street bridge, from which. he said, he had tossed the murder weapon into the Acushnet river. Reich main- tained that l., had "feund the re- volver, but Almond doubted this. The river waters will be searched for the missing weapon, police said.
