toned by Coroner Monzani this morning, and released on his own recogni2ance.
 Sergeant McEvoy told reporters today that he and other members of the accident squad had ques- toned e man named Del 0abbo of North Riverside street and that he admitted selling Q head light lense to the younger Unikas. Del Gabbo said that he was told by Unikas that the light had been broken by flying wood, which had been sawed in the Unikas yard. He said that he had not sold him any specific Tense but had pointed to a pile "that might 1t" and told Unikas to help himself. The sale was made during the past week, but DelGahbo Is not certain of which day.
 Was Used On Tuesday
 The father says the car was used about Tuesday after the accident, but the son says that 1t was not used until Thursday.
 Sergeant McWeeney went to the Unikas home yesterday and found the door to the barn where the truck was parked, locked. He went to the next farm and conversed with the family there, but told them that he was looking for chickens.
 Last night he told Sergeant Nc. Eyoy of his trip, and the latter went to the same scene, and was admit. ted to the barn by Q woman who was in the house. With him were Motor Patrolmen Harold Lawlor and John Mcdonnell, and they found the truck with It's convincing marks. Its marker numbers are 27-673.
 The elder Unikas is @ native of Lithuania. He Is especially well known in the Brooklyn section of town, where he maintained his res- idence ct one time, and where he has been aftiliated with the tavern business for several years.
 Denies Drinking
 He denies that he had been drinking on the night of the hit- and-run death of Mike Bush.
 Pursue Maxwell Clues
 With the completion of the Bush case, the motor patrol continued with even more enthusiasm in the investigation of Q hit-and-run case in which Thomas Maxwell was killed, which occurred on the pre-. ceding Sunday morning, October l7, in almost the same spot, on Thom- aston avenue.
 Two of the three such cases in Waterbury and vicinity have thus been cleared up. Milton W. Powers, 28, of 37 State street, was released in bonds of $2,500 yesterday after he was questioned by Deputy Cor oner Walter W. Smyth in connec- ton with the death of John Kukai- tiS, 63, of l3 Summit street on the Wolcott road, Saturday night. Pow. CTS says he was in the vicinity oi the accident, and e parking light from his car was found near the body.
 Funeral services for Kukaitis are to be held tomorrow afternoon.

declare it's membership probably has dwlndled toward i26,000. Tn former years John L. Lewis paid for 6 voting strength of 5000 when It was we'll known the membership of the United Mine Workers was far below 5000, 900.
 There Is nothing in the A. ?. of L. proposals which would give more than 10 of the 32 c. I. O. unions representative voting strength at the next convention. O. I. o. insists that they all get 1t.
 Farley Expected to Run
 It is TOW being taken for grant, ed in Washington that Jim Far ley will be e candidate for governor of New York In 1888. It B also gen erally believed that he can have the Democratic state conventions nom nation and that he will be elected
 Farley hasn't said word to anyone about it, apparently. But
 the assumption has been greatly strengthened by his decision tO campaign for Jerry MAhoney in the New York mayOralty fight. The White House has kept hands off, but It's real sentiment is be- Meved to be more accurately rep. resented by Secretary IckeS, who recently went to New York and gave Mayor F. IT. LsGuardia public pat on the back.
 Anyone who wants to run for governor of New York on the Democratic ticket is practically compelled to play ball with the New York Democratic machine politicians, all of whom have been behind Mahoney. In case Roose- welt was consulted at all and ap- proved Farley's leap into the local battle, the President at least wal aware that nothing at that stage of the campaign could put Ma honey over.

unkindly, but when they met out- side, the Bartholomews, including the guardian aunt, Miss Myllicent Bartholomew, were most civil.
 The parents had placed Freddie with his aunt when he was three years old. He was then just arl- other child of London with none too bright prospects. His father is e fish inspector.
 Now Freddie is 13. He earns $o8,000 @ year in the movies. He sends his parents 10 per cent of his income and they have no other acc cess to him, except to see his image in the London cinelnas.
 The parents were willing for Miss Bartholomew to rear the boy and they were agreeable when she ape piled to adopt him las tspring, ale though there were several months of preliminary arguments. These were settled with an agreement for distributing Freddie's salary.
 Several weeks ago the parents sued to have the adoption annulled At the time Miss Bartholomew was keeping Freddie away from his stu- dio, demanding Q larger salary for him, which had stopped his salary and his parents percentage.
 Claims Heard Yesterday
 Judge Robert Scott heard the claims yesterday.
 Freddie came in wearing a new serge suit with long pants. His mother leaned over his chair and kissed him on the forehead. He turned, noticed her for the first time, and said: "Oh, oh, hello." It was the first time he had seen his mother in several months.
 When he was called to testify, Freddie stood with one hand in his pocket while taking the oath. The judge rebuked him gently. Freddie flushed, fumbled with his hand. But he apologized with an oxford accent: I'm sorry, Your Honor"
 Are you happy and satisfied with your present surroundings? Are you content to remain in the custody of your aunt?" the judge asked.
 "Yes sir, very happy the boy re- pliedw ."I have always lived with her and naturally she Is just like a mother to m."
 DO you have any af7ction for your parents, Freddie?"
 "No. They are almost strangers to me-"
 Boy Speaks Earnestly
 The boy turned toward the judge and spoke earnestly:
 You see, I was only three years old when last lived with them in England. I like my sisters-I re- member them better than do my parents because I used to see them in England after went to live with my Aunt Cissie."
 The aunt was e teacher when Freddie first cane into her care, and her painstaking work with his man. ners and diction did much to de- velop him into c Little Word Foun- tleroy" for the movies.
 Freddie's father testified that within two months after he agreed to the aunt's adoption, he realized that he had made a mistake.
 T decided that Myllicent was mos tivated by selfish considerations, a desire to exploit Freddie's talents and was not proper person to have custody of my son."
 The judges decision was: T am satisfied that the best interests ot this young man are being served by permitting him to remain in custody of his aunt"
 Freddie said the verdict made him "very, very happy"

 gation over the results.
 While counsel engaged in the re- canvass would make no ofticial pro- nouncement on this possibility, the development of minor discrepancies and errors in the reports of the moderators caused MT. Bronson to remark:
 "Reeardless of the outcome (of the re-canvass) 1t is e salutory thing."'
 View of Mayor Hayes
 This was the view of Mayor Frank Hayes when the question of change of election results by re-canvass of the machines was projected by the Fusion candidates and their counsel. Speaking as @ candidate" not as mayor, the head of Water bury government made pubic his stand, saying that he wanted the machines tested and re-canvassed if there seemed any doubt about the election results.
 It is understood, however, that MT. Bronson is passing his procedure on information furnished him in support of the mandamus allega- tions of irregularities and discrepan- cies. He is of the opinion that the re-canvass has developed enough of these minor discrepancies to justify the testing and re-counting of the disputed machines.
 Tomorrow Awaited
 Whether tomorrow will see devel- opment of further justification of the complaint remains. as 1t did last week, the hope of the Fusionists and is doubted by the election ofiacials who took their reports from the self-sam machines.
 By night. the counters will have completed 34 machines, leaving 20 to go. The machines from the 3rd district are due for re-canvassing tomorrow afternoon. according to FeDoPk.

 It appeared today that the speech might affect efforts of the interna- tional non-intervention committee to settle the Spanish war situation. Eden disclosed that the practical results" of the Nyon "anti-priacy" agreement had been to facilitate the arrival of large quantities of ma terial in Spanish government ports."
 Spain is now Soviet Russia's third best customer" he said.
 It was believed that that discles- sure might cause indefinite delay in negotiations for an agreement on withdrawal of volunteers from both the Spanish Nationalist and Loyal ist armies, inasmuch as 1t was felt that German and Italy would not consent to withdrawal if Russia was enjoying easy access to Loyalist ports.
