FATAL ELIXIR
 HUNTED DOWN
(Continued from Page D

  elixir was the known curative quail ity of the sulfanilamide. Adminis- tered in other forms, 1t has cured tllD diseases for which the elixir was prescribed.
 4 small quantity of the elixir proved fatal in some cases. In others patients apparently are recovering after receiving comparatively large doses.
 In Mount Olive, Miss, Evelyn shargrough, 6 nurse. administered tho elixir to friend and to herself. The friend died, as did five others in that city. Miss Sharbrough Is alive, apparently well, working hard as Q nurse for six others who rec ceived the elixir.
 FiShbein said the greatest fear was that country physicians who received samples of the elixir but are out of immediate touch with latest devel- opments, may prescribe the drug.
 Statewide Campaign
 A statewide campaign was direct- cd by state officials in Maryland.
 The manufacturers, in Bristol, Tenn, made 376 shipments of the elixir between Sept. 1 and the dis- covery of It's dangers, and now have recalled every shipment,
 Food and drug administration of- flces estimated that 700 bottles still were not accounted for-most of them pints.

 Democrat Force ct Work
 Although working under strained conditions today The Waterbury Democrat was scheduled to make It's appearance on the streets ct regu- lar hours. The entire editorial and proof-reading departments we're shifted to the Job plant.
 Telegraph, sports, and society de- partrnertS were also housed in this section of the building.
 One side of the publishers office was soaked by water and also seeped Into the business office. No water penetrated to the press room of the plant situated in the rear of he basement of the building, but the boiler room in the front of the baSe- ment was flooded and had to be pumped out. The fire itself ocs cured in the extreme front Of the building, barely ten feet away from the windows.
 Temporary Wires Erected
 Electric wiring was disrupted by the blaze, but temporary wires were quickly strung up and linotype and Ludlow machines whirred in the composing room promptly at 7:sO this morning.
 It was feared that possibly vali" able records and feature copy inc tended for use in The Democrat this week might be found useless when c complete check of the editorial department had been made. Fire men covered most of the desks with tarpuiin but not before Q ccflsid- erable quantity had deiuged the room and its contents.

 Deny Tamperlng Charges

Deny TRmperlng Charges
 The corporatior counsel, 1t is un- derStood, will deny all charges of tampering with the voting machines if the hearing tomorrow gets to tho stage where further allegations are made by Attorney Richardson Bronson, chief of plaintiff counsel.
 During Friday and through the weekend, counsel for both sides have been examining the election records. The corporation counsel asked, and was granted, permission from the court for 0 check of the protective counters of the voting machines, held in custody of Su- perior Court Clerk George Fl. Free man, under guard of police in the county courthouse basement.
 It was while this examination was being made that charges of tam pering with three machines on cleo. ton day" developed in the Water bury American and Republican. These, the corporation counsel re- marked today, "are unfounded and are not borne out even by the tes- timony of'the complaint wintess."
 Impossible Says COnley
 Civilian "Tipper" Conley, Inde- pendent Democratic challenger In the 18th district on election day, admitted on the witness stand that 1t would have been impossible" for any voter to "cut" on the D lever of one of the machines in the 18th district. Allegation of the plaintiffs was that the D lever of the machine in question, No. i6,736, twas un- blocked and showed votes." The witness failed to explain how six votes could show or some positions on the D ballot and seven votes on other positions without cutting) Mandamus Start
 The alternative writ of manda. mus, by which the seven Fusion candidates sought recanvassing of the voting machines, was instituted the last of election week after the general moderator had conducted Q recount of the votes when question arose because of the slim margins of victory and defeat between some candidates. The Fusion candidates are: Senator deoerge T. Culhane, for mayor; Francis T. Phillips, treasurer; Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, seeking reelection; Mortimer J. Calvin, Jr, city clerk; Walter ChareSt, selectman; Thomas P. Healey, board of education; Dom. enic Barbieri, sheriff.
 To date, discrepancies between machine counters and moderators' reports have failed to develop basis for allegations of Irregularities, t was observed by various of the counsel today. whether reading of the counters showing vote totals when the machines arc re-canvassed will point toward discrepancies war.

Peace Being Sought
 With Labor Bodies
CCOutinue0 trOn Pass D

The c. I. O. delegation, compris- ing 10 members headed by Philip Murray, genial chairman of the Steel Workers Organizing commit tee, arrived 6 few minutes later.
 Murray Is Silent
 Murray was equally reticent on prospects of peace.
 I doubt if there is anything I can say for the moment" Murray told newSpapermen at the doorway of the small hotel suite.
 "our minds are open-they are always open"
 Murray refused to comment on Q declaration issued by President Will liam Green of the federation last night. Green said that hope of set- clement of differences which have split the labor movement into two warning camps must be predlcated upon ventilation of the rebel c. I. O. under the banner of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor"
 T hacve no statement" Murray said sharply. None whatever. MT. Green is always very voluble."
 The other nine members of the c. I. O. delegation refused to com- ment for publication, referring all questions to Murray.
 Objectives of Each
 Washington, Oct. 25-(UP)-The objectiveS and positions of the American Federation of Labor and committee for Industria! Organiza- ton conferees at today's peace par ley:
 The three A. r. of L. delegates seek e settlement of the two-yeaf civil war in labors ranks. They have the power to negotiate o truce or @ final peace agreement.
 The 10 c. I. O. negotiators seek only an agreement to convoke a joint unity conference of 50 to 100 members from each side to discuss the issue of possible reunion. They do not have the power to agree tc truce or sig na peace pact" with out first conferring with Chairman John L. Lewis.
 FrOpOSeu Fr0gfamS
 The 0. I. O. delegation has been instructed to insist upon this four point program:
 l. Recognition of industrial union. ism.
 2. Guarantees that present mem- bership be assimilated IT. A. r. of L. intatc and not partitioned among federations craft unions.
 3. Delay of final consideration of these two issues until @ joint "unity conference" is convened.
 1. Agreement by o. I. O.-in rec turn for these concessions--to rc- turn to parent organization "under banner of the A. P. of L." and k accept William Green as A. F. of L. president.
 The federation's committee os- tensibly has formulated no program to present at meeting. They have hinted, however, that they will press for an immediate peace but may remain adamant on the question of continued development Of industrial unions.
 Legislative Viewpoint
 There IS no perceptible difference between the two organiza tions on legislative programs. Both favor q wages and hours bill, although the federation seeks changes in the measure submitted to congress last session.
 Rank -and-FlIe Position
 The rank-and-file members oi both organizations undoubtedly want peace and reunion between the two factions.

 All Watched Figures
 It was pointed out that the ilg. ures on the rear counters of the machines were read by several per- sons when they were called to the moderator election night and both Republican and Independent Detn- ocratic challengers watched this process. However, the plaintiff counsel have alleged that discrep- ancies appear between totals of the vote cast in some districts and the vote reported by the moderators.
 The court is expected to rule on whether the moderator acted with. in his discretion in denying tho de- mand of the Fusion candidates for the re-canvass of the machines. Which may, 1t is seen, be the only legal point to be served further Tuesday when the hearing Is sched- uled at 10 o'clock.

REPUBLICANS ARE
 MUCH DIVIDED
(continued from Page D


  Democratic coalition to smash the New Deal political front in 1888 are ready for Republican national conn initteeraen who will meet next week. The plans are similar in objective but somewhat different in method. David Lawrence, political corlnaen- tator, sponsored the most complete. ly detailed strategy for reducing New Deal congressional inajorities.
 Hoover First in Field
 MT. Hoover was first in the field last August with a suggestion for mid-term 1888 Republican national convention to devise 6 working Re- publican Democratic coalition"
 Former Sen. Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey, proposed an extension of the Hoover plan to insure c llorl- partisan meeting representative of labor, agriculture, industry, the American Legion and practically all permanent phases of American life, young and old" Edge warned that delegates to the suggested conven- ton should not be confined to Re- publican party members.
 Lawrence proposed Q fion-parti. san alliance founded on c single plank consisting of "a pledge to pre- serve the independence of the judi ciary and of the legislative branch of the government" He suggested creation of . committee for corlsti- tutional government" composed of 6 man and c woman from each state. These committee members would raise c 9i0,000, 900 campaign fund for the 1888 elections, no contribu. tion to exceed $500.
 Regardless Of Party
 Working with the Republican congressional committee and c coin- mittee representing Independent Democrats, the constitutional gov- ernment committee would arrange for support of "constitutionai cail- didates" regardless of party.
 Lawrence explained in c book, "Who Were the Eleven Million" published by Appleton Century Co., that his program would not require any formal coalition movement de. structive of precinct party orgAniEa- ton but merely would insure antis New Deal support or iD30 cone gregsional candidates regardless of party if they subscribed to the con. stitutioilal plank.
 MT. Hoover, originating the mid. term national convention idea, gug- gested Q representative gathering, especially of the younger clements of the population. He said Republi- can leaders in 20 Etates had endorsed his plan before 1t was published last August. "There is bound to Do more discussion of Q new alignment that will bring c better junction of Re. pubiicans and so-called Jeffersonian Democrats" Mir. Hoover wrote itl the Atlantic Monthly Magazine.
 Coalition Not Enough
 Coalition with bolting Democratic leaders would not be enough, Mr, Hoover warned. He advocated . raid on the New Deal rank and fiie. The Hoover convention would produce Q declaration Of principles," upon which the coalition party would ap. peal next year for support against New Deal congressional candidates. Mir. Hoovers plan apparently dis- pleased LaSdon, the l036 Q. Q. P. presidential candidate. 70 far he hes neglected to endorse it although t will be the principal business before the national committee in Chicago Nov. Es0.
