Session Opens at Two This AfternOOnELObby= ing May Bob Up Again FORMER MAYOR THOMS
 READY TO TESTIFY Missing Witness BOrgnais Is Reported to Be Back
 in New York

Attorney Herman J. Weisman, counsel and close friend of Mayor Frank Hayes, was the first wit ness called before the extra ordinary grand jury this after noon. He appeared at the court house at 1850 D. m. This was his second appearance before the jury. Judge William E. Thoms appeared at 2 D. m.
 Waterbury's Extraordinary Grand Jury will come into session at 2 o'clock this af- ternoon and from all indi- cations, launch a new probe into the activities of lobby ists and other non-residents of Waterbury who received funds from the city for a variety of services. No session was held this morning, and the jurors are faced with a long night session, and the possi- bility that another session will be held tomorrow.
 It is presumed that former Mayor William E. Thoms, who was ex- pected to be called yesterday will take the witness stand before the jury this afternoon. There is also great possibility that George H. Kingsley and William Murray, ex- ecutives of the George H. Kingsley Company will return today from New York where they went with Ac- countant Warren M. Brown early Wednesday. Several other witnesses, none of whose identities could be ascertained beforehand, will also be called this afternoon.

 German officials were silent re- garding the whereabouts of von Papen,. but declared there was no basis for a dispatch carried by the London News Chronicle saying that his friends were anxious.

plan as preliminary to having Fed eral funds allotted for the housing, even though the project cannot be consummated immediately.
 Financial End of It
 Harold Robinson, legal expert of the FILA project planning division, explained to the Waterbury group the matter of financial participa- Jon. In this connection, it was de- veloped that the 10 per cent cost to the city probably will nave to be made by appropriation, thus indicat- ing that the matter may be delayed until budgetary provision can be made late this year and included in the 1889 estimates.

 against the suddenness of the ban were heard, but there were no in- dications today that any sponsors of bingo or beano games would make an issue of the orders given them to quit. Prosecutor Meyers said he would welcome test case.
 Ban Goes On Now
 The protests were on the part of those who had bingo parties ar ranged during the next few days. In some cases several hundred tickets have already been sold. Prosecutor Meyers said that despite this he could not withhold the ban tem- porarily, stating that he would thereby condone violations of the law.
 Local theaters which are affected by the ruling against prize con- tests plan to follow the prosecutors orders. In several theaters an- nouncements were made last night that no further cash award games would be played in the theaters.
 Principal Sponsors
 Among the principal sponsors Of bingo games have been fraternal so- ci3tieS, clubs, churches and veterans organizations. Proceeds of some 0f the games were devoted to charity but this will not affect the rule against their closing.

PHILLIPS KNOCK
 PITTSBURGH OUT OF 6 GAME LEAD
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

New York, Aug. 26.-Don't hand the National league pennant to the Pittsburgh Pirates-at least not yet.
 Because one day of competition has frightened the race to point where the senior recruit may again stage one of its famed stretch fin ishes.
 Yesterday morning, the Pirates were rolling along six games out in front and striving to add to that lead and win their first pennant since 1927. Behind them were the champions of the last two years, the New York Giants In third place. 6A games behind the pace, were the Cincinnati Reds while the Chi cago Cubs languished in fourth, 8M games out of the lead
 Today, the Pirates were only Az games in front of the Giants and 6B ahead of the Cubs and Reds who were tied for third.
 The lowly Philadelphia Phillics, cellar ocupants, were responsible They bumped the Pirates twice yesterday by the same scores, 2-1 The Cubs licked Brooklyn 3-2 and 5-4 while the Boston Bees licked Cincinnati, GA and 3-2. New York defeated St. Louis 8-7.
 From now on. the Pirates and the other first division teams will find the lower division clubs tough CT and tougher to beat, the same as 1t has been in past stretch races.
 Nice Work
 Max Butcher gave up only seven blows as the Phils won the opener, and Wild Bill" Hallahan set the Pirates down with five hits in the Thinning nightcap. Bracks double and Mueller's pinch~hit single pro- vided the winning run.
 Lee pitched full game for the Cuos in the opener, holding the Dodgers to four hits, and Carleton eked out hte second.
 The Bees needed 12 innings to whip the Reds in the first game and 1t took three-run burst in the ninth to win the. nightcap. The Giants took II innings to subdue the Cardinals.
 The New York Yankees main tained their 12-game American league lead with twin victory over Cleveland, 5-2 and 15-3. The In- dians dropped to third place, l4 games behind the Tanks as Boston moved up with To and 9-5 vic- tories over the Chicago White Sox,
 Lefty Gomez pitched a five-hit game for the Tanks in the opener and Red Ruffing yielded six hits for his 18th win of the year in the nightcap.

 It had been reported in Detroit that Cochrane had reached an un- derstanding with Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey and was slated for the Sox managerial post in 1940.
