Edgartown Prepares for New Invasion as Kopechne Inquest Near 9 By DAVE OFFER Staff Reporter EDGARTOWN, Mass. The cold has turned the sand of Dyke Road into solid icy ruts and there are ice flows in Pou-cha Pond. The tourists are long gone. But the reporters are coming again now to Chappaquiddick Island because Monday the legal maneuvers in the Kennedy. Kopechne case resume this time in the form of an inquest to determine the legal cause of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.

The inquest with Judge James A. Boyle presiding, begins at 10 a.m. More than 20 witnesses, in-cluding U.S. Sen. Edward M.Ke nnedy and those at the cookout at the small Chappaquiddick cottage with him last summer, will testify under oath.

Most people think the hearing will last three or four days. That inquest will be behind closed doors on order of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. No reporters will be allowed to listen as, for the first time, the people present on July IS are sworn to tell the "whole truth" about the incident, and required to answer questions from Judge Boyle and District Attorney Edmund Dinis. Still, the reporters are coming perhaps as many as 300 of them from all over the world. To cope with them, Police Chief Dominic J.

Arena has asked help from other towns on Martha's Vineyard. Some 20 or 30 extra policemen and several statetroopers will be "loaned" to Edgartown. State Police will search the court room with sophisticated metal detecting equipment, looking for tape recorders or electronic "bugs" which might be slipped inside by story-hungry newsmen. The court room was locked and put under guard Saturday in another attempt 10 keep anyone from planting recording devices. Judge Boyle has declared the entire court house off limits to the press and the curious.

Guards will keep people off the steps and escort witnesses in and out All six doorways will be manned by uniformed police, Arena said. The curious are also barred from the cottage where the cookout was held. A new piece of lumber blocks its entrance. Another new piece of timber is a reminder of the tourists who flocked to Chappaquiddick Island after the accident It. has replaced a chunk of Dyke Bridge ripped out splinter by splinter by souvenir collectors.

The "mood" of Edgartown is a different one from that of July. In the summertime, some 6.000 people live here. They swim, golf, sail, fish and ride bicycles. The streets are crowded. Parking is difficult.

Stores are busy. Hotels and motels are full. Dozens of restaurants serve delicious meals. In January the air is clear and crisp. There isn't much snow, and there aren't any tour- Ists.

The population dips to about 1,500. Chappaquiddick Island is nearly deserted the summer homes are closed, cottages are empty. Only seven families live on the island year round. It's the bustling place in the summer. In greyness of winter it looks almost desolate.

Still, the two-car ferry shuttles between Edgartown and the island. See Edgartown, Page 10, Col. 4 Start Every Day Right Weather Forecast PARTLY SUNNY, COLD Temp. Range: 10-25 Complete Weather, Tides On Page 4B 30 CENTS ESTABLISHED 1764, VOL. CXXXIII No.

Michael Kelly is expected shortly to move behind Daddario for the Senate, and other pro-Daddario moves are under way. The only announced candidate for the Senate nomination is Joseph Duffey of Hartford, national chairman of the Americans Democratic Action.

On Thursday, Slate Sen. Edward L. Marcus of New Haven will announce his Senate candidacy at a breakfast press conference at the New Haven Motor Inn. Sen. Dodd has repeatedly said he will seek renomination, although he has not made a formal declaration of candidacy.

Also mentioned for the Senate are Mrs. Ella Grasso of Windsor Locks, secretary of state, who is close to the Dem-psey-Bailey party leadership; Alphonsus Donahue of Stamford, a businessman, and former Mayor Richard C.

Rep. Emilio Q. Daddario of Hartford has decided to seek the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Thomas J.

Dodd. He is deferring a formal announcement candidacy pending a declaration by Gov. Dempsey on whether he will seek renomination to the gubernatorial post he has held since 1961. Gov. Dempsey's announcement is expected within the next two or three weeks.

Most observers expect him to run again. In the unlikely event that he does not, then Rep. Daddario may' switch signals and run, instead, for governor. In line with his decision to seek the Senate nomination, Rep. Daddario already has begun a statewide tour to determine the Democratic party situation in a number of areas.

His decision to run for the Senate is expected to lead to support from the state party organization led by a Chairman John M.
