prosecutor in Waterbury, Judge 1nglis has already upheld the ap- pointnent. The next procedure is to attack the question on its merits.
 May Reach Agreement
 Attorney McDonough said today that by late afternoon he had MT. Alcorn expected to arrive at an agreement to either submit a stipulation of facts in the case to the court, or to introduce witnesses Tor the purpose of placing their testimony on the record. If no stipulation can be agreed on then the witnesses will have to be called.
 In either event, Judge 1nglis will subsequently, rule again on the question which he has already de- cided in favor of Special Prosecu- tor Alcorn. After this ruling is issued, however, either side will be eligible to appeal to the supreme court of errors. Attorney McDon- ough had not definitely decided on his appeal course when the last decision of Judge Inglis, which was adverse to him, was issued.
 Uphold or Dismiss Him
 On the newest proceedings, Judge Inglis will either reiterate his sanc- ton of the appointment of Special Prosecutor Alcorn, or uphold the quo warranto and dismiss him from the office.
 In addition to hearing the quo warranto question Friday, Judge 1nglis will take under consideration the demurrers of IS of the 27 de- fendants. The majority of the de-

 With the mist-blanketed Boring Straits, which separate the Asian and American continents, lying ahead, Hughes reported from time to time to west coast radio stations that all was well aboard the plane.
 At 9:22 a. m. EDT., a message relayed to his New York flight headquarters by an army station at Seattle, Wash, that he was about 300 miles east of Yakutsk, where he had landed at 5:08 a. m. after putting 8,9l1 miles behind him. That put him beyond the danger ous Verhoyansk mountains. Hughes left Yukutsk at 8:01 a. m, EDT.
 Seeks Shorter Route
 At Fairbanks, with 11,368 miles covered and 3,380 to go, Hughes will pick up the trail-abandoned at Omsk, Siberia, for somewhat shorter route-blazed in 1883 by the late Wiley Post, from whose world flight of seven days, 18 hours and 49 minuptes the five flyers ex- pect to lop off at least three days.
 Shortly after leaving Yakutsk on the PAST mile flight to Fair banks the flyers established direct radio contact with amateur station W-6-CUH at Hermosa Beach, Cal, and sent reassuring messages whcih
