MERIT SYSTEM. BATTLE RESUMES.
Court to Rule on Manda- mus in Last-HOur Fight
 for Vote Oct. 5

Battel of the merit system resumes tomorrow in the Superior Court when Judge Edwin c. Dickenson will preside at 8 hearing on the city's reply to the writ of mandamus which the merit plan packers pro- cured to force the issue onto the voting machines.
 Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor had offered to present his answer today, after being grant, ed time to check some of the names on the petition for referendum to determine whether the sigma lures are those of bona flde regis tered voters. But the merit system counsel, Frederic c. Smedley, Will liam w. Gager and J. Warren Up- son, Republican town chairman, urged the court to expedite the legal course of the mandamus in a last-minute attempt to obtain a ruling.
 The merit system proponents are trying to gain time to act on an appeal by the city from adverse court ruling, which might be made within two weeks of the answer to be filed tomorrow. Thus, week from tomorrow being election day, any delay now would mean postpone ment of the referendum until a special election.
 The board of aldermen, voting 10 to 4, joined with the corporation counsel in ruling thatt he petition was illegal inasmuch as placement of such ac proposal on the ma- chimes was beyond their discretion ary powers. Judge Dickerson gave his opinion on a motion to quash the writ of mandamus, that the al- dermen did not have discretionary power to rule on the legality of the petition.

Culhane Defends Own
 Record As Legislator
Tells Gathering on Town Plot He Is Ready to Compare
 His Achievements With Those of Mayor Hayes

"There is not one bill I introduced in the legislature that am ashamed of." Senator George T. Culhane, Flu sion candidate for mayor, told a gathering of Fusionists yesterday at an outing at Floyd Rasmussen's $ farm, Town Plot. The affair was un- der direction of Attorney George J. Crocicchia and was sponsored by the 11th and 18th district groups of the Fusion party.
 Replying to the challenge of Mayo Frank Hayes that he submit "his record" Senator Culhane countered with the words, T chal- lenge Mayor Hayes to submit his record, for I will counter with two or three to his one"
 Bank Receiverships
 Thereafter he pointed to what he termed sponsorship" of bill con- corning receiverships of banks which was reported untavorably by the judiciary committee of the state senate. His other reference to the record" was in connection with a bill he said he presented to the Gen. eral Assembly which concerned the appointment of the chief of police of Waterbury, thereby referring to the early feud between the mayor and himself during the latter'S terure as a state senator. He described the last-named bill as an attempt to creat a form of civil service within the police depart ment.
 The Fusion candidate denied that "l, 300 jobs" in the city of Water bury have been promised the Inde- pendent Democrats, saying, Our party has not promised single job nor will it before electicA. Let the administration answer if it has promised any jobs"
 Senator Culhane described him. self as the friend of the working man, sincerely, not a fair weather friend. I am vitally interested in the welfare of everyone in the city," he declared. T am not going to let the poor go hungry or discharge school teachers. I have three children of school age. No, no, am not going to reduce the numbers or salaries of the teachers, police or flremen," he protested.
 Prudent Expenditures He said that there was mo rea- son" that the salaries mentioned should have been reduced" during the last eight years. He explained that the wage cuts generally adopt ed during the depression would not have happened If the administra- tion had been prudent in its eX- penditures for other purposes"
 Sherwood L. Rowland, Republican candidate for controller, said that the job for Independent Democrats and Republicans will be completed this year and that MT. Culhane stands for government by all the people as shown by his record at Hartford"
 William Cleary, candidate for the board of relief, remarked that he understood that Mayor Hayes did not like the term, Hayes gang" so corrected" himself and declared that the Hayes administration is going to be looking for new jobs af- ter election day" .....-
 Frank J. Wall, Independent Dem- ocratic candidate for registrar of voteds, said that if the public does not put over the coalition ticket" he is going to China and enlist in the Chinese army.
