A DAM BEGINS, A TOWN IS BORN KEW YORK, Sept. 10. (AP) The Immediate outcome ol the trial of. James J. Hlnes, veteran Tammany 'district leader, on policy racket charges bung in doubt tonight as Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora weighed a defense .motion for a mistrial, based on a question askbd an important defense witness by D.st, Atty. Thomas E. Dewey. The move climaxed a controversial session, in which Lyon Boston, law yer and former assistant district at torney under William C. Dodge, test ified Dodge assigned him in 1934 to Investigate the policy racket with especial emphasis on any possible connection Hines might have with it Dewey sought to show that Dodge's assignment of Boston was mere win dow-dressing," since Boston, a young man, manifestly lacked the exper ience needed to get at the roots of the policy racket. Dewey was proceeding calmly, and Boston, who was to catch a ship for Bermuda, was glancing anxiously at the clock, when the district at torney suddenly asked: "Don't you know that William Fel lows Morgan. Jr., commissioner of markets, testified before the grand Jury about James J. Hlnes connec tion w.ith the poultry racket?" Before Boston could reply, defense council Lloyd Paul Stryker, his face red, his eyes flashing, was on his feet. His voice betrayed the strain of his excitement and indignation as he asked for the declaration of a mis trial. Dewey's question, he said, was "intentionally prejudicial to the defendant." Justice Pecora, who clashed with Dewey numerous times during Bos ton's cross-examination, looked net tled. His brows lowered, his Jaw Jut ted out farther than usual. "I shall reserve decision," he said "The court will now take a recess until Monday morning at 10 o'clock." He leaned forward and beckoned to Dewey, whose face was flushed. The district attorney moved forward to the bench and Pecora began speak ing to him In a vigorous undertone. Stryker's assistant, Harold Shapiro, said outside of court no memoran dum would be submitted on the mo - tlon since "it Is so plain that no memorandum is needed." The motion for a mistrial followed a four-hour session marked by acrimonious clashes between Dewey and Stryker. At one point, the prose cutor protested bitterly that tSrykcr implied he was not telling the truth. "Don't be so sensitive, Mr. Dewey," interjected Justice Pecora. The chief defense lawyer turned coldly on Dewey. "If I think that." he snapped, "I will say it In plain English. I won't Imply It. If I have anything like that to say, I will say it right out like a man."

His exposition of the Nazi position in the Czechoslovak situation was regarded as so clear, precise and un mistakable that In the Nazi opinion further parleys by the British, who have been seeking a settlement here and In Prague, seemed superfluous.

There had been reports that he was seeking directly or indirectly to tell the fuehrer of the gravity with which the London government views the situation. Goerlng In his speech expressed contempt for democracies, especially Britain. , ' .

He pleaded with the people to "be calm" and pledged the government to work for Justice for all nation alities. '' "If Imperialist powers were to enter Into relations between the national ities," he said, "a regrettable shadow would be thrown over the future of cooperation among them. "I believe the Gorman people as well as the Czechs. Slovaks and all the others truly desire to work to gether in quiet." The president's address, broadcast In the Czech and German languages, came shortly after negotiations be tween the government and the Sude ten Germans over the latter's auton omy demands were reopened after I three-day interruption.
