Long political football without @ name, the merit system contro-
 versy today threatened to become the major issue in the forthcoming election.
 With decision due tomorrow on the writ of mandamus, which was procured to force the proposal onto the voting machines, numerous civic associations were reported to be forming general anti-merit system organization to fight the referen- dunn should it become matter of balloting. ,JE.
 Principally among those opposed to the plan offered by a group which earlier disclaimed political interest, are the veterans organizati ationS. In this connection, it was pointed out that the veteran vote counts a potential 10000 as against the 5000 alleged signers of the petition sub- mitted by promoters of the current I merit system proposal.
 Veterans Aroused
 The veterans associations charged today that many of the signers of the petition, which failed to place the matter on the voting machines when the board of aldermen voted 1t down after the measures legality was ruled against by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, have changed their opinions about the constructive value of the scheme as recently devised. Coercion ot many of the signers by employers was alleged by a spokesman for the anti-merit plan groups.
 While some attorneys expressed belief that execution of the writ by court order would be stayed by an appeal to the state supreme court, others said today that 1t is possible for the court to order the referen- dunn placed on the voting machines with validity of the matter to be decided by the high court after the election. Numerous similar cases were cited for and against the ef- feet of an appeal to stay placement of the merit system plan on the voting machines. ,,..-. OAAAC11AO NAtCu Mayor Hayes, Town Clerk Dora A. Egan and individual members of the board of aldermen are cited to appear at the hearing at 2 o'clock tomorrow in superior court. Back CTS of the merit plan will claim at that time that their petition to have the proposal put on the voting ma chimes fulfilled legal provisions of the city charter by having an esti- mated 5000 signers, >"more than IS per cent of the 1936 voting list."'
 However, in the writ of mandamus obtained by the merit plan sup- porters, Section 56 of the city char ter is quoted, in part, as follows . When twenty-five per centum or more of the registered voters of the city, as shown by the last voting list, shall petition the legislative body of the city for a change in or addition to the charter of the city, such legislative body shall submit the question so proposed to the city electors at special elec- tion etc." This part of the section deals with proposals made in years between regular election years. More Signatures
 Thus, should the question of amendment to include the merit system here fail to be placed on the voting machines at the October election, it would be necessary for the plans packers to obtain many more signatures in order to gain a special election. This, without sarc- tion of the board of aldermen. Or Iso the section could be interpreted in the instance of the present con- troversy, with the special election

A Booster club of local women pledged to the support of Mayor Frank Hayes and the entire Demo- cratic ticket will be organized to- morrow night. Women Democrats from each of the city's 20 voting districts will attend the session, which will be held at the alder manic chamber in the City Hall.
 It was first proposed that the club be organized as a Mary Kill martin for Town Clerk club, but at Mrs. Kilmartin's request this plan was dropped. She explained that she felt the club should work for the election of the entire ticket.
