The Attorney General found that the bonus forces probably "brought Into the city of Washington the largest aggregation of criminals that had ever been assembled in the city at one time."

Medina, had given him his legal opin ion that an election before Vovem-ber of next year Mayor Walker's term was to have ended Cec 31, 1933 would be unlawful.

At the same time It was announced by President S. Howard Cohen of the Board of Elections that that body is holding a special meeting this afternoon to decide whether the board should be represented In the action by the Corporation Counsel or by the Attorney General. Mr. Cohen pointed out that in reality the board Is a State body. Inasmuch as the Corporation Counsel is automatically the representative in court of ail city officials, some Inconsistency might arise in having him represent the Board of Elections which takes a different attitude than Mayor McKee.

At Mayor McKee's direction, Medina made application, on behalf of David MacAdams of 867 W. 181st Manhattan, as a taxpayer, for a peremptory mandamus order to restrain the Board of 'Elections from holding an election for Mayor this Fall. The application was signed by Supreme Court Justice Irwin TJntermyer and papers were served on the Mayor this morning. They -were turned over to Corporation Counsel.

So surprising was the turn of events, however, that the status of the government was not immediately clear.

The hostile opposition insisted it had beaten the Chancellor to the draw by passing a motion of nonconfldence before the decree of dissolution was served. There was no uncertainty In the Chancellor's mind, however. Tha vote of nonconfldence which would have unseated the government, was unconstitutional and ineffective, ha contended, because it was the work of a Parliament already dissolved. The Issue was submitted to the Reichstag Council of Elders, which convened this afternoon long enough to review the facts, then adjourned to consider the constitutional aspects of the situation. What happened was this: The Chancellor appeared at the opening of the session ready with a speech outlining his past achievements and his future intentions.

The galleries were crowded. Before things were well under way the Socialists upset the arrangements by moving that the recent series of emergency decrees putting the Government's economic program into effect be rescinded. There was no objection, and under the house rules Immediate debate was in order. Then the National Socialists moved a half hour adjournment to consider this Tha Communists thereupon moved non-confidence In the cabinet. Dissolution Ignored The Chancellor sprang to tlia rostrum with the decree of dissolution in his hand.

Hermann Goer-ing, the National Socialist Speaker of the House, waved him asioe, asserting that a vote was in progress and would be completed before anything else was taken up. The Communist motion carried, 513 to 32, with 50 members abstaining. The speaker announced the Chancellor's decree of dissolution would be ignored in view of the fact that the Government already had been overthrown. The Reichstag then adjourned until tomorrow and the Council of Elders went Into session. The Government eXDlained that under the constitution Government representatives are entitled to tha noor even outside the regular order of business.

Chancellor Vnn Papen asked for the floor twice and was denied it. The eovernmpnt maintains that this denial was a violation of the constitution nrl that by laying his decree upon the speaker's desk the Chancellor dissolved the Parliament.
