Icause it refused to uphold his at

commissioners.
Several Phoenix attorneys say
they have been approached by
Osbornites with a promise of state
administration backing If they
would oppose Chief Justice A. C.

NATURALIZATION DATE NOT SET
Hundreds Awaiting Final Step Towards Becoming
 U. s. Citizens

No date for holding of naturali- zation court in superior court <has been set, although hundreds of local residents are anxiously awaiting mo- t1fication of the time on which they may become citizens. The session was originally scheduled for last Wednesday but was called off two days before when officials uncov- cred regulation which prohibits holding of naturalization hearings within 50 days preceding an election.
 Sept. 16 was listed as the date for naturalization court in several cities of the state on court calendars re- leased several months ago, but the iIlegality of the assignment was not noted by Hartford officials or called to their attention until several days before candidates for citizenship were to take their oaths.
 About 300 local persons were af- fected by the change of plans. About 1000 names have been placed on the eligible list but only 300 local residents were to be examined and sworn in this fall because of the limited time of the court.
 It is believed that the Chief Jus tice of the state will order special naturalization sessions to follow the general election of Nov. 3. It has been pointed out that papers filed by some of the eligible candidates expire on Jan, and unless they are sworn in before then they will have to renew the whole procedure of making citizenship application.
