Miami, Fla. Oct. l. CUP)-AnN tonic Navarro Fernandez, FB1-al- legged international confidence man, today was denied entrance to this country, but was held to face federal charges of swindle.
 Fernandez, suave, 52, and by his own admission a descendant of wealthy Spanish family, was denied entrance to the U. s. here yeSter- day by a special immigration board of inquiry Refusal was based on the fact that he had served four year Cuban prison term for pos session of counterfeit money
 Fernandez, who claimed approxl- mately $45O,OOO in Canadian banks, admitted the Cuban prison sen tence, but cortended that it was in 1913 when he was "too young to know better"
 He denied FBI charges of fleecing M. A. Cunning, Washington at torney, out of $125 ,000 Fernandez allegedly promised Cunning untold wealth if the lawyer could gain him legal entry into the U. S., where he could get to his fortune, report edly lodged in American safe de- posit boxes. The $125,000 was to finance Fernandez until he could withdraw his own money
 The debonair Spaniard'S version was that he had promised to pay Cunning $125,000, if Cunning could get him American citizenship.

Preparations of the city's Hang ing List-the preliminary list of Waterbury voters eligible to par ticipate in the Nov. 5 elections is now being prepared by the Regis trar of Voter office, John Derwin, Democratic Registrar told The Democrat today.
 The list will be erected on the large bulletin board in the drive way of the City Hall on Oct. II.

If the name is not hst- ed the voter should notify the regis trar's office at least IT days prior to the election. The final official list of eligible voters is then pre- pared for the Hanging List and any changes requested by voters. MT. Derwin said.
 Thomas J. McLarney, assistant registrar also called attention to the fact that voters who have moved since last election from one sec- tion of the city to another with out notifying the registrars office of the change will be stricken from the list and declared ineligible to vote this year. This is in accord ance with State Statute.
 Final sessions for making new voters who will be eligible to par ticipate in the Nov election will be held this month. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the regular monthly session will be conducted in the aldermanic chambers from g A. M. to 8 P. M under the direction of Mrs. Mary Kilmartin, town clerk. From Oct. 8 to Oct. 15, except Sun day, a special and the final ses- sion for making voters will be con- ducted during the same hours. The only other session to be conducted thereafter will be the so-called ma- turity day when persons attaining the age of 21 years or those whose one-year residence natures after the Oct. IS day will be sworn in. Maturity day is held the day prior to election.
 There were 50,386 eligible voters last year in Waterbury. This con- sisted of members of the Demo- cratic, Republican, Socialist and Independent Democratic parties. This year a new party has been added the Taxpayers Good Gov- ernment Party but it is expected that members will be drawn from incumbent parties
 MT McLarney today stressed the importance of checking the Hang ing Lists,
 "These lists are the only way we have of insuring the eligibility of all voters" he said Friends should check for other friends as safety precaution also, The vote is an important matter at all times"
