Farley Held
 By DeGouIIe

Paris, Nov. 2l -- (UPl - CIeil- Charles de Gaulle met for an hour and a half yesterday with leaders of Frances three main political parties in an effort to clear the way for formation of coalition caol- net.
 The Communist, Socialist and Popular Republican leaders left the war ministry, where the conference was held, at 1:30 p. m. No hint or the outcome of the meeting was forthcoming immediately.
 Informed political quarters were pessimistic regarding De Gaulle's chances of breaking a deadlock with the Communists which blocked hls initial efforts to form cabinet
 Responsible observers regaraed the Assembly's vote for De Gaulle yesterday as little more than stop gap maneuver giving more time to seek a way out of the political crisis.
 Communist leaders met this morn ing before the conference with De Gaulle. They were reported to have decided on their position, but 1t was undisclosed and there was no sign they would be abandon their earlier demands for a top post in the cabinet.
