PALLOTTI RULES
 ON WRITE INS'
Placing of Time-HonOred x Not Necessary States
 Attorney General

Attorney General Francis A. Pal lotti has ruled that the simple writing.i1 of @ candidates name is enough to validate a write-in ballot. The placing of an x after the name written in is not necessary, he holds, but the voter may place such a mark after the name if he wishes.
 The ruling was made in answer to Q request by Secretary of State Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse for an Interpretation of Q 1941 statute on write-in votes.
 Said the attorney general:
 Tt is my opinion that the cross- mark K is not necessary in voting for 6 person whose name is not on the ballot. The writing in of the name is, in my opinion, all that Is necessary under the aforesaid pro- vision. However, the placing of the crossmark x by the voter does not invalidate the vote, aS 1t is optional with the voter to place or not to place the crossmark."

 COlOred Men

Police are conducting an inves- tigation today into the swindle of a Cheshire woman who told police last night that she was the victim of an old bunco game worked by two colored men.
 The woman, 65-year-old Mrs. Elizabeth Smalley, made her com plaint to Detective Lieut.. John Gal- win who was assigned to investi- gate, that as she was walking along Brooke street Friday afternoon, one Of the men approached her and inquired If she could direct him to . certain street.
 While engaged in conversation, the negro directed her attention to another colored man across the street as he stopped to pick up @ paper envelope from the street. The Cheshire woman and the man who sought information watched and saw him cross to where they were standing.
 As the colored man came to them with the envelope he addressed the other man and urged him not to port hls find with promise that he would share his windfall.
 The elderly woman was includ- ed in the promise and they pre- vailed upon her to change the large denominations of the currency in the envelope. She opened her purse and took out $68 which she gave to the man who walked toward Grand street.
 In the meantime the other man held her attention while his &C., complice disappeared and then with an excuse that he would be back In a few moments, also vanished.

\ Anti organization leaders were still seeking to have Harold sS. Hadley, their candidate for the registrar nomination until he announced his withdrawal last week, change his mind. However, they were looking for another possible candidate who would be strong enough to warrant backing in a primary fight. With slates of convention delegates due to be filed Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. a primary fight appeared unlikely today but the anti-Faller group contended that 1t still had hopes.
 c. 0. P. organization leaders are meantime continuing to dicker with the Independent Democrats in an effort to reach an agreement that would result in both parties offering the same candidates ir many places on the ticket The Independents still plan to run their own candidate for mayor, either Roger V. Connor or Prank J. Wall, and also their candidates for several other posts They plan to endorse Republican candidates for other offices.
 The "John Doe" group had urged ex-Mayor Perriello to demand that he be given the right to name at least 50 per cent of the delegates to the city, town and school convent!- tions. This would have at least enabled him to block the nomination of any candidate he opposed. 1n- stead, MT. Perriello accepted the endorsement of the town committee without securing any commitments on the rest of the ticket.
