Mayor Speeds
 UP Plans For Reorganization
NO Personal Motives Be. hind Move; Welfare
 Post to Be Filled

With the Superior Court recount having confirmed his election as mayor for the fifth time, Mayor Frank Hayes today speeded-up his plans for complete reorgant- xation of the city govern xnent. He planned confer ences with several heads of city departments, seeking recommendations from them relative to changes in their departments. He has already conferred with other department leaders.
 Close associates of the mayor scof. led today ct claims that his plan tor remodelling of the city govern ynent was motivated by revenge or that he aimed at making reprisals against persons who opposed him during the city election campaign. The mayor could easily take such steps they pointed out, without an nouncing the extensive changes that he has in mind.
 The mayor still has under con- sideration candidates for two posts, supervisor of welfare and director Of personnel. The welfare depart- snent vacancy vii loccur January l., when Mrs. Margaret Verdon retires to become member of the state unemployment compensation con- mission. Several local persons are eligible for the post. It should be pointed out, however, that printed reroEtS that local candidates took exAmina tons for the post when Mrs. Verdon was appointed in 1884, are erroneous. No such examinations were ever held.
 The Director of Personnel will be named by the mayor to supervise employment in all city departments He will have wide powers, under the mayors plan.
 Employes of the various city de. partments are frankly uneasy, and are awaiting the queStionnares which they must fill out.

not need votes found they had gained" or "iost" one and two votes, here and there. But, sub. stantlaliV, the count of the general moderator was borne out to Q dee gree reportediy showing more ac. curacy than in any other Waters bury election. Praise was given The Democrat today by election off. cials for It's accurate tabulation Of returns election night. These fig~ ures check, in almost every in. stance, with the final results shown by the machines.
 Regarding Costs
 About the cost: Report was last week that the court cost was es- timated ct something more than 9i00, but this was exclusive of the summonsing of 90 witnesses by the Fusion complainants. It failed to incorporate costs of counsel and the half.day pay due to election work CTS from the 20 districts who were called to repeat their election day duties ct the re.eanvass in the courthouse basement.
 Matter of costs will be taken up Tuesday at the re-opening ef the mandamus proceedings before Judge Edwin 0. Dickenson in the superior court. 1nasmuch as Flu. sionists 'lost" the battle of the ma. chimes it is indicated that the costs will be allocated by court order to the plaintiffs, But nothing of this can he determined until the final word in the election fight has been spoken.
 Rumor Of Court Actions
 VIII this word" be flight" and will it mean that another series of court actions will seek to dispute the proved returns shown by the machines? Senator Culhane and J. Warren Upson, Republican town chairman, Attorney Richardson Bronson, chief of Fusion counsel, and the other complainants, will not disclose their present plans. Their expressed view is: Tt Is up to the individual candidates if they wish to continue litigation by pre- ferring fraud charges"
 Dld Dead Men Vote?
 Did 100 persons, and more, vote dead" mems names, vote undeF names of persons for from Water. bury election day, vote without be- ing registered7 Should proof of this be offered in court, 1t Is the opin. ion of those who have watched the voting machine litigation, that 1t could affect the election not at oil. That the "bombshell" of fraud charges would implicate on indlv. adual here, Q bona fide voter there, and that the fruit of fraud charR. es would be . hybrid monster, col. ored with bi.partisan splotches. hirelings from all parties In tho TO. cent contest.
 So. until Tuesday, Waterbury rests again, the battle of the ma. chimes echoing through deserted corridors of the courthouse while dust gathers once more on the 64 overworked tabulators under guard of . lone policeman until the court releases them.

Carelessness Cause Of Hopeville
 Fire

The fire marshal, in . statement made as Of this day in reference Co the Hopevllle school fire, said:-.
 "There is no question, but what caFelessness caused the Are, and threatened Che entire nelghboF. hood. One can readily realise from Q study of yesterdays happenings what bonares in . nelghboFhocd can do. And yet, almost every day, people plead for permission Co burn fires on their property, forgetting for the time being the possibility of sparks flying around 1he district and setting fire Go other nearby buildings. This Is what occurred Friday afternoon, when the South Federated church, the Buchanan barn and garage, on Baldwin St. and Che Oakes home on Baldwin Ave-, caught Are from the sparks Of the commW. nlty home structure.
 "The grass fire, we feel, was started by some boys of the neigh. borho0d. A stlR northeast wind was blowing at Che time, and eventually some of the sparks lodged between the dry wood shingles of the old school. .house. and then, when another breexe caught them just right, they biased up, and soon the entire building was ablaxe.
 "The fire, however, was Q great lesson Co ell of us. It makes us think Of the possibilities follow. ing our persistent claim we have Q right to build . bonfire upon our own premises. But who Of us cal guide the course of the sparks or the smoke coming from the fire we Satrt in our inclnerator or can we use for that particular purpose.
 We repeat what we have often saldi legally, no one has the right t0 build bonflres without the con. sent and approval Of the oiiace oe the fire marshal.
 "The entire damage, by the way, will not exceed S7,S00."

 No Reference To Duchess
 It was noted that the Duke made no reference at oil to the Duchess, and that he left open the way for Q visit in future.
 We were certain until the last moment that the voyage would take place and that there would be nc change" Q spokesman said. "The decision came after talks which were held after receipt of late news from the United States"
 It was understood that after the announcement, the Duke cable re. grets to President Roosevelt and expressed hope that he might be able to visit the United States ip future.
 Also, 1t was said, he cabled pri. vate American industrialists who had Invited him to visit factories.
 At i2:30 c. l1l., the d uke and duchess retired, members of their encourage said, without plans except that for the present they would TO. main here.
 More Than One Factor
 There was more than one factor which caused cancellation of the visit, 1t develops now. Labor op. position to Bedaux was the final one.
 But there were other factors. First the British government did not want the duke to go to the United States when he first expressed c desire to do SO. Secondly his visit to Nasl Germany was opposed. Some said that he won reluctant permission for these visits only by threatening to return home.
 Finally, on oftlclal of the North German Lloyd steamship line dis. closed that official pressure had been brought on the duke not to sail in German liner.
 Collects $2,1ll.S0 Fares
 Lieut.. Didley Forwood, the dukes equerry, went to the North German Lloyd offices this morning and col. lected the S2,ili.b0 which the duke had paid for tickets for his party. He told officials the duke did not wish to transfer the tickets to on. other date or steamship line--an in. dication that the duke had no im- mediate plan for setting c "poSt- poned" date for his visit. The feel- ing was that while he might visit the United States some months later, this postponement really was on abandonment of any present plan to 90 there.
 The Bremen boat train, filled with disappointed passengers who h ad looked forward to Q transatlantic voyage in company with the prin- cipa9 in the romance of the century, left for Cherbourg at noon.
 Duke ChagrIned
 Deeply chagrined by American criticism, the duke has decided to regard himself in future as c purely private citizen, 1t was said authori. tativcly.
 From now on, . spokesman for the duke told the United Press, the duke will consider his movements private r d will make 0 announcement as to his ordinary comings and goingS. With the "postponement" of his American visit he no longer consid- CTS himself . public figure, the spokesman explained.
 T am authorized" the spokesman continued, Ito say that the duke end duchess are following routine over the week end. There will be no nasty departure"
 The duke and duchess rose early and seemed cheerful. The dukes as. sociates said he had no plans other than to remain in Paris for the present, meanwhile discussing the future with his advisers.

 Count 0aleaSzo ClAno, foreign minister, for Itaiyi Joachim von- Ribbentrop, ambassador to London, for Germany, and Masaaki Kotta, Japanese ambassador to Italy, signed at the foreign office in the Chigl Palace at il c. m. today Q protocol which made Italy one of the "orig. inal slgnator!eA" to the antl.Com. rnunistic agreement which Germany and Japan signed November 20, loS0.
 Keep We'll Informed
 This agreement binds the sigma. tories to mutually inform each other regarding the activities of the Communist Internationaie, to cone suit each other concerning measures to combat these activities, and to execute those measures in close cos operation with eacr other"
 It is specified that the signatories will invite the adherence of third nations whose domestic peace A on. dangered by "the diSruptive activi. ties of the Communist Information. ale," to take measures to repel these activities or to join actively in the cooperative agreement.
 The first article, providing for consultation, leaves the way open for full consultation on many sub. jects which might Dc linked to Com. Inunism--the civil war in Spain, for instance. The second b the one which diplomats believed would Dc the basis for . drive to obtain co. operation from other nations.
 Pressure Oe Germany
 There were suggestions in diplo- natic quarters that Premier Henito Mussolini consented to join in the agreement only under pressure from Germany. Some diplomats felt that in signing 1t Mussoiini riSked fufth- CT alienating opinion in the United States and Great Britain. They could see no practical advantage at oil to Italy in 1t, and they said they believed there were indications MusSolini would have preferred to remain outside it.
