No Serious Disorders Mar Public Demonstration as Aldermanic Board Battles Over Resolution to
 Remove Mayor Hayes From Office

Massed in front of the city hall last night a crowd of more than 1000 persons who failed to gain ad- mittance into the jammed alder manic chamber, waited in a half- jocular mood
 Most of them came to see the crowd. The strains of the Prison CTS Song" were taken up briefly. Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag" was also short-lived selection.
 During the first recess of the al- dermen, the mob grew impatient, burst into chants of We Want Ac- Uion."
 Traffic Continues
 A cordon of police around the city hall kept order. An endless stream of automobiles flowed both ways along Grand street. Unlike the Leavenworth street situation Mon- day afternoon and night, cars met with no difficulty.
 Repeated jeers, boos, and scat tered applause emanating from the open windows of the aldermanic room, were taken up by those out- side, but feebly, in scattered echoes.
 When J. Warren Upson, chairman of the Republican Town Commit tee, arrived at the city hall to do his duty "as private citizen", tine crowd broke into applause. An el- derly woman who had managed to make her way to the police-crowded main entrance pleaded vainly with MT. Upson to please let me come in with you" MT. Upson was ac- companied by William J. Secor, re- cent graduate of the Yale Law school.
 Although herded in the main be- tween the classic shrubs of the pa- tio in front of the City Hall, a con- siderable throng occupied the side walk in front of the Chase Com pany offices and the steps of tha& building. Many also lined the east sidewalk on Field street, while scat tered groups clustered at the corner of grand and Leavenworth streets, and the corner of Church street.
 State Troopers
 Waiting for any eventuality, 54 state troopers, six sergeants, and a lieutenant gathered in front of the Middlebury town hall. The troopers were under the leadership of Comsr. Edward J. Hickey.
 Doors of the city hall were guard ed by police, the majority of the bAue-coats concentrating on the main entrance. When the meeting was over, and the lights ex- tipguished in the aldermanic cham bex, police with difficulty closed the front portals. Boos greeted this eff fort, and the mob started a rush which was quickly checked by the police.
 Entrance to the City Hall was barred as soon as the aldermanie chamber filled to capacity. But some managed to seep through and added their number to the wedge which formed at the aldermanic dcor. Newspapermen got to the room with difficulty, police rushing many of them through.
 News of the meeting filtered to the crowds with difficulty. The Mayors huge office was lighted during most of the evening, and many in the throng had the 1m- pression that this was the alder manic chamber.
 News Flashes!
 Some gathered around cars from which radios gave frequent news flashes regarding what was going on above them. A few portable sets also were in operation.
 Chief of Police William J. Roach and Deputy Chief Daniel J. Carson supervised their 110 men. Chief Inspector Joseph A. Stevens of the detective bureau, aided by Lieut.. Cornelius A. Shanahan. Lieut.. Joseph A. Bendler, Lieut.. Patrick Moylan kept order within the build
