 The three-man federation delega. ton, headed by George M, Harrison, gave no immediate indication of how the Q. I. 0.'s three.point peace plan would be received.

France Prepares To
 Rush Big WarsIaips
toOntinued from rage n

foreign office Issued this formal communique last night: "EollOwlne attacks of which two French vesselI have been the object, the govern ment has urgently taken steps tc assure the identity of the aggres- sors and will determine measures tC meet such acts. A warship already has been sent to the scene of the attack. The French government will take the steps necessary to assure protection in It's MarseilleS Ali Line"
 It was disclosed today that thiS communlQue was issued only after lt was approved by the air and navy ministries. Particularly important were the statements that the gov. ernment was urgently" taking steps to Identify the airplanes which at- tackled the French ships and that the government was prepared single handedly to protect its coimmunica- tons lines.
 It was pointed out that this must be read in connection with the fact that airplanes operating in the Vi- clnlty of the attack are regarded aS Italian ones and that the govern ment Is prepared to end such at- tacks by force,
 Attacks That Caused It
 The attacks which caused c sud- den grave turn in the Medlterran- eRn situation were:
 1. The French steamship, Oued Mellah, on its way from French Morocco to Port Vendres, France, with Q cargo of wheat, was sunk by an airplane on the high seas, 30 miles east of Barcelona, Spain, on the direct line Of French oommuni- cations to Africa, The crew WaS saved by French destroyerS which responded to Its sos call.
 3. Alrplane attacked the Ar France mall plane base in the Bay of Fornells, in the Island of Minor co, held by the Spanish Loyallsts, The French dispatch boat No. Ol was burned by incendiary bullets and Spanish Loyalist reports al. legod that the airplane pursued fleeing civilians to the countryside, machine gu..ning them.
 Official Inquiry
 Ministry of the navy experts ar- rived in Minorca today to begin an official inquiry Into the attack on the Ar France dispatch boat. They sought principally to Identify the attacking plane. Ar France officials said that the boat burned the wateriine -- e total loss--after explosive or ineendiary bullets fired It's gasoline and fuel oil, carried to refuel planes on the trans-Medi- terranean route.
 So seriously was this second at. tack regarded that 1t was announced officially today that Air France service on the Marseillos-A AlgierS line, the principal one between cons tinental France and French North Africa, would be suspended until warships had arrived ct tho Bay Of Fornells.
 There seemed no doubt that tho attacks would have direct bearing on tho Spanish on-intervontion nego- tiations at London today. A setni- official spokesman said:

canVasslng of the machines had kept Waterbury tensely aligned, for and against, some taking tho view that the machines could develop no diiferenece in election results. This, they said, was because the figures taken from the rear count- CTS of the machines were obtained by several persons, in every district, and were called to the various mod. orators only after check of these figures was made by representative of all parties.
 However, the mandamus eom- plnint alleged tampering and irregu- larlties and the court was impelled to comb the testimony of the vari- ous witnesses presented for the Fu- sion claimants. Then, when 1t do. veloped that the colnplainants were prepared to press the proceedings through the testimony of nearly 100 witnesses and drag the matter Into weeks of litigation, Mayor Hayes re. turned from vacation and stepped into the matter. By communication with the corporation counsel, he had expressed c desire that there be c re.oanVass If there remained doubt of the result.
 On his arrival at Waterbury, the mayor announced that, as . can- didate, he wanted re-canVass If there remained c question of which of the several candidates involved were elected. Thus, tho mandanus procedure in accession to the rec canvass was occasioned only by his belief that the allegations Of the Fusion candidates should Do checked before his offlce advised on pro- cedure.
 Tamperlng Alleged
 During development of the man- damus hearings, charges of tamper- ing with the voting machines of, election day were made and denied tables showing the alleged discre. pancies between protective counter readings on the machines and the inoderators reports, were offered the public in the newspapers, after counsel had promised to support these figures by evidence; c bally. hoo of major proportion was offered the public by various allegations verging on corruption and deliberate mishandling of elections returns.
 These, it appeared, as tho hear. ings ran their legal course, were fantastic in the main and bore out the cry of the corporation colin' sci that lawyers for the plaintiffi were Ion 0 fishing expedition" st observers agreed as the gainut oi the mAndRmous ran from onC charge to another, eli involving elec' ton returns and all alleging suppoSi' tions of fraud.
 All of the democratic candidatei involved by question of their vott totals, were anxious that tho ma chimes Do re.canvessed to settle ir the publics mind the results. Bu' the matter, then in court, had h run It's course, the corporation coun' sci believed.
