Official Lists of Registrars, Just Released, Accident
 for Total

A grand total of 47,SoS persons will be eligible to vote in tomorrow's city election, according to official lists released today by Registrars of voters John T. Derwin and Albert o. Faller. It Is the largest registra- ton for 8 city election in Water bury's history, being 2,6o0 greater than the previous high, reached in 1889. The registration total Is less however, than for the national elec- ton of last year. The number of eligible voters is considerably high CT than anticipated, the most op- timistic forecast being that the to- tal would reach close to 47,000
 The list will be increased by Q small number of names before to- morrow, since the board of regiStra- ton was in Sesston at the city hall today to swear in those reaching the age of 2i since the last regular seS- sions for making new voters were held. The registrars figures show that l2 of the g voting districts registered increases in the number of voters, while tke rest declined Each of the five wards showed de- ciines, though one went down by only enc vote, another by five votes and a third by 10. The second ward had the biggest drop, losing 44s from its registration. The first ward lost ii from it's list. The third fourth and fifth wards had the small reductions.

But diplomats offer privately wide range of answers. Some maifi.. tain that Q "state of war" alyeady exists, based on the fact that tho navies of both powers apparently are carrying out c policy of shoot oM sight,
 Others, when asked whether ana when they think war will be dem clared, answer: DO you mean ots fieialiy7"
 The consensus here Is ehat neither the Reuben James sinking nor tho attack on tho destroyer KeAyaay would force q diplomatic rupture, Some 7T men stlll are missing from the Reuben James and Il died on tho Kearny.
 Same Reaction
 The same reaction followed tho German statement, Issued from Adolf Hitlers headquarters Saturday night, charging the United Statea with firing the first shot at German submarines in the Atlantic. T brought the rejeindsr from Chair. man Tom Connally, D., Texas, oi tho senate foreign relations com mittee:
 "Hitler falSifies. His submarinea are in our defensive waters, avowed. ly for the purposes of murder and rapine. They are there to kill our sailors and sink our ships. It is curious claim of aa assassin and a murderer that someone fired in selfs defense in order to prevent his com. mitting murder and assassination while lying in wait in the park.
 U. s. Not to Be First
 Some observers believed that, des. pite past and probably future In eidentS in the Atlantic, tho Unitec States would not declare war against Germany first-unleSs some unpre. cedented attack iS made upon the United States.
 They expected, however, that ex.. treme hostilltieS would take place without a formal declaration. They point to repeated declarations by American officials that the United States considers the Axis powers law breakers and beyond the pale.
 On the question of diplomatic re- lations, opinion also Is divided. Each nation seems to be without desire tc break of relations completely. The United States has expelled the con. sular officials of Germany and Italy The Axis has expelled American eonSuls from occupied Europe ane from Germany and Italy.
 But the U. s. embassies in Rolns and Berlin and the Axis embassies in Washington are among the busiest in the world.

 to Take Sides

New York, Nov. 8 - (U.P.) Fire faces the problem of whether to inc vIte serious privations by remaining neutral or being turned into an armageddon by siding actively with either Germany or Britain, Q study of the Carnegie Endowment for The ternational peace said today.
 "As 6 new state deslrous only of peace and . chance to develop In. formally, Fires neutrality iS costing her dear," the study said. "Belliger- ency would cost her dearer, tho Fire ct war lays herself open to English occupation and German conquest, to boMbings riilnous to her ill-protect- cd civilian life, Neutrality may mean prlvation, but, if force of arms does not make this course impossible, EeFnoil De Valera, (prefnler of Eire) will not lot his syriipathies or Amer icafl pressure deter him from it."

Washington Nov. 3-(UP)-Diplomats today foresaw no immediate break in diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany but. thought the present strained situation unusual as to be without exact precedent.
 Two questions most frequently asked here are:

 "When, if ever, will they declare war?"
 There is no official answer to either.
 The last light on the subject came from Preside. Roosevelt last week when he said he did not any change impending in relations between Germany and the United States result of the sinking of the destroyer Reuben James
