 worked himself up through the ranks to become it's mayor for four years, and later to represent the state in both branches of Congress. There will be virtual suspension of busi- ness during the funeral services
 Meanwhile, the choice of his suc- ceSsor in the senate became 8 mat ter of critical speculation. Gov. Baldwin must call .)ecial election, ana in view of abs ltee ballot law requirements, this cannot be held for at least four months. While the federal constitution empowers the general assembly to give the gover- nor permission to apoirt a successor until this election, 1t was doubtful whether such action would be taken by the state lawmakers. The state Senate is Democratic controlled and the House overwhelmingly Repub- lican. Furtherm ore. all state officers excepting Gov, Baldwin are Demo- crats, fact which made 1t virtually certain that Gov. Baldwin, mention cd as a possibleee Senate candidate in l946 would be a candidate in the special election.
 There was a precedent for the governor entering the contest. Tn l924 Sen. Frank F, Brandegee died in office, after Hiram T. Bingham had been elected Governor. Bingham was elected to the Senate in q spec ial election, took the oath as gover- nor and then resigned immediately to go to Washington.
 Possible candidates, however in- cluded former congressman James A. Shanley; State War Manpower Director and former Congressman William J. Fltzgerald; Lieut., Gov, Wilbert Snow; former Lieut.. Gov. Odell Shepard; former Hartford Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy; Rep. Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse; and Miss Margaret E. Connor. who was defeated for Congress in the fourth district last November
 Republican possibilities included former U. S. Sen. John A. Danaher who was defeated for reelection in November; former Rep. William j. Miller; former Lieut.. Gov. James L. McConaughy, now presiden tof the United China relief; State Chair man Harold r. Mitchell, and Rep Clare Booth Luce.
 An attorney generals ruling may be obtained to determine whether the delegates to the state nominat- ing convention last year will hold over to the special conventions

 On Monday, Pacific fleet com munique said, the Navy flyers sank nine ships totalling about 22,00o tons and damaged nine other ships and nine small vessels.
 Another 5000 tons of shipping was sunk or damaged Tuesday, in. cluding the l700-ton tanker Kamo' last seen listing and two oilers set afire, the communique said
 Though only 30 ships were identi' fled specifically in the communi. que, the large toll of tonnage listed for Tuesday indicated the number of ships hit during the 48-hoW period actually totalled between GO and 70.
 Observers believed that when fig ureS are received for Sunday, the first day of the attack, the total number of ships hit may exceed 100.
 Eighty-seven enemy planes were destroyed or damaged Monday and Tuesday, Twenty-three were shot down, l9 destroyed on the ground and 45 damaged on the ground.
 Ground Installations also were hit heavily. Warehouses, docks and sev- en locomotives were destroyed at Takao, Formosa, while buildings ammunition dumps and other in- stallations were destroyed or dam aged at Pratas reef, southeast Of Hong Kong, Monday.
 The Royal Navy and Taikoo docks, at Hong Kong, among the most valuable Installations captured by the Japanese in their southWard drive early in the war, were dam aged heavily Tuesday, along with harbor facilities and fuel storage areas at both Hong Kong and near by Canton,
 The raid was the first carrier borne strike against Canton, 00 miles upstream from Hong Kong and the largest city 1n South China. Swatow. l75 miles northeast O. Hong Kong, also was hit, though details were not announced.
 The initial announcement of Sundays raids said merely that targets along the China coast from Hong Kong to Annoy, 125 miles northeast of Swatow, were attacked and promised details later.

Mexico Talks Focine Delay
Continued from Page D

Feb. 22 or later. Several RoVern- ments have asked for e delay to give them more time for prepara- tons.
 Such e postponement would take most of the wind out of charges that the Mexico meeting was planned deliberately for mid-February so tht Stettinius would not be able to go to the big three meeting. The charge was made by Sen. Owen Brewster, R., Me-, and at least one British newspaper has hinted that MT, Roosevelt was sending Stettinius to Mexico instead Of to the big three meeting because of the sec retary's recent indiscretion" in dis- agreeing with British policy in Italy.
 Stettinius returned to his desk today after spending six days in New York on undisclosed official business and private affairs.
 President Roosevelt told corre- spondents at his news conference yesterday that they would know whether Stettinius would accompany him to the Churchill-Stalin meeting after the meeting was over. He buffetted several questions on the meeting with non-committal an- sWers.
 Most of the furore over the possI- bility of StettiniuS not going to the big three meeting grew from reports that Harry Hopkins, close presiden- tial adviser, would be leaving soon for London to make arrangements for the meeting.
 Hopkins has attended virtually all of the Presidents war conferences. He missed the second Quebec con- ference because of illness, but was at the Atlantic charter meeting along with Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, at Casablanca, at the first Quebec conference in the fall of l943, ana at Cairo and T'ehefan

Stimulating Cases Come Down To Fact That Trainer Shouldn't Start Horse With the Snif1es
By HARRY GRAYsON NEA Sports Editor

New York,-Announcing that the Thoroughbred Racing Association would police the nations tracks, ex- ecutive secretatry Alex Robb says 1t will protect the public.
 That is what might be considered an ambiguous statement.
 How in the world are you going to protect the public at race track? And 1t doesn't want to be protected, anyway. That would take all the fun out of 1t.
 With stimulating charges popping up all over the place, the men around the races now requiring pro- lection are the trainers. It's wise trainer these days who knows no medicine.
 Tom Smith, famous trainer of Maine Chance Farm, leading money winner with more than $500,000, was set down for a year because the horse Magnific Duel's nostrils were sprayed with ephedrine prior to a $500 race at Jamaica. Dolly Byers, handler of Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark's string, tops in the jumps, and five others, including William L. Brann's man, were set down at Pimlico.
 It got to be federal matter when narcotic agents found a half dozen Pimlico stables looking more like McKesson & Robbins, Inc, than barns.
 The stimulating cases have the trainers as confused as the racing stewards, who are noted for their lug g-headedness.
 Old Tom Smith frankly tells the authorities that he found ephedrine cleared his own nasal passage, so he figured what was good, for him was good for his horses.
 Most of the trouble comes from the use of benzedrine, which like ephe- drine, is used to help clear up slight head colds to which plugs are highly susceptible.
 A rule forbids a steed being given any kind of medicine affecting his speed prior to race.
 Trainers hold that even if benze- drine is administered more than "A hours before the geegee goes to the post, the chances are better than even that 1t will show up in saliva or urine test.
 Horsemen claim that neither ben- Zedrine nor ephedrine is a stimulant The racing fathers contend it is.
 The stimulating cases boil down
