|MANDAMUS IS FILED IN COURT .PUCKEY Would Compel Sec'y of State Satti to Place His
 Name on Ballot WRIT FILED HERE; HEARING TOMORROW O'Neill Has Not Yet Taken
 Legal Action on Union
 Congressional Nominee

Frederick w. Puckey, of this city, whose claim is, that he is the Union party nomi- nee for congressman from the fifth district, is opposed by Terrence J. O'Neill, of Ox- ford, filed in superior court at Waterbury this morning an application for a writ of mandamus compelling Secre- tary of State Dr. c. John Satti to have his name placed on the voting machines. Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan set tomorrow at 10 a. m. as the time for a hearing on the application.
 Dr. Satti, at tomorrow's court session, must show cause why he has not ordered the placing of Puckey's name on the machines. AS soon as Judge O'Sullivan had al- lowed the application to be filed, Attorney Walter w. Smyth, coun- sel for Puckey, went to Hartford to serve the complaint on the secre- tary of state. Dr. Satti will be represented tomorrow by Attorney General Edward J. Daly or one Of his assistants.
 Two Claimants
 Both Puckey and O'Neill claim the Union party nomination for con gressman from this district. Both secured petitions from the town clerk and filed them, and after they had been checked both filed them with the secretary of state. Dr. Satti, acting on 8 legal opinion given by the attorney-general's staff, ruled last week that neither man could have his name on the voting machines, since each one claims that he was entitled to 8 place voided the contention of the other
 The application brought fol Puckey today by Attorney Smytf Is in the name of States Attorney 1sLawrenee L., Lewis, as required bI flaw in such as tCaarlaas1t. 2 p ONeill, Puckey's opponent for thu Union party designation, said las week that he was planning court action, and that he would seek g writ of mandamus. Thus far nc legal steps in his behalf have been taken in court. It is expected, how ever, that O'Neill will have counsel present to to represent his interests at tomorrow mornings hearing. Dr. Satti must "show cause" to- morrow why, as secretary of state he refused to order Puckeys name placed on the ballots as the official Union party nominee. In his com plaint, Puckey alleges that he was nominated duly at party con vention, that he filed the requisite number of signatures with the town clerk and secretary of state, and that he otherwise complied with the elec- | tiOn laws.

 Polo Grounds, New York, = October 6. = (UP) - Faced with the necessity of winning for the second suc- cesSive day to stay in the running for the worlds baseball championship, Bill Terry's amazing Giants came back to the Polo Grounds to- day for the sixth game of the topsy-turvy World Series against the Yankees.
 The Tanks, still clinging to their three to two lead as a result of three straight triumphs after their opening loss, must win today or drop from the position of favorite. If the Giants even the series today, they will be favored to win the seventh and deciding game tomor- tow behind King Carl Hubbell.
 Pitching selections today brought Fat Freddy Fitzsimmons, veteran knuckle-baller who lost the third game, and Vernon Gomez, eccentric southpaw who won the lop-sided second game, 1894, back to the mound.
 The Giants, whose chances seemed 50 empty and forlorn 24 hours ago, have taken heart from Hal Schu- maeher's courageous performance under fire in checking the Yanks in yesterdays 10-inning thriller, 5-4.
 Gus Mancuso, the Giants catcher, whose work in the series has been heroic, thinks the Tanks are through.
 "If they were going to beat US. they had their chance yesterday" Mancuso said. They'll never beat Fitz, or Hubbell again. The big per- centage is on our side now"

He refused. He needed her space for gasoline.
