LYNCH, COHEN S
 APPLYING FOR CITY RECORDS
Evidence Needed to Press Legal Suits Against For.
 iner Officials

Efforts are under way to- day by counsel sor the city and the Citizens Good Gov ernment Association to gain access to city records now impounded In Hartford, in order that legal action against ex-C Controller Daniel J. Leary and other former city officials may be insti- tuted without further delay.
 City Corporation Council J. Gregory Lynch, and Attorney George 1T. Cohen of Hartford, rep- resenting the Good Government civil suit against MT. Leary in the amount of $eo0,O 900, both intimated yesterday that they will seek gov. ernment cooperation to gain access to the records which are now under subpoena by the government.
 Last month MT. Lynch was au. thorized by the Board of Finance to proceed with legal action against former city officials. At that time he said that writs would be filed when he has had the opportunity to examine the records. Until that time, he intimated, specific charges could not be made.
 Federal authorities, however, had subpoenaed the records. and yes. terday MT. Lynch revealed that his office has started negotiations with the government for permission to examine the iinpounded books. He further asserted that he has held conferences with members of the Internal Revenue Department, and though no definite assurances were given, he has reason to believe that the bureau will cooperate.
 MT. Lynch would not say who the possible defendants would be. How ever, 1t is believed that most likely of the group are Harry V. MacKen. Sie of Bethel and Charles E. VII. Hanson of Darien, who, according to the trial records, received e34,. 900 for lobby services. Also Edward c. Levy, New Haven lawyer. John 8. Johnston, and John c. Purdie, of New York. Most of the Water. bury officials implicated !n the trial will be made defendants, 1t is be. lieved.
