President Frank H. Johnston of New Britain presided and 128 delegates representing many cities and towns in the state were present. After much discussion of the resolution of in- dorsement, action was taken to in- definitely postpone. Charles H. Colley, president of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, in the course of the after dinner speak- ing took up the matter and expressed his feelings as to the action taken on the resolution. He said: ~“I did not vote for President Wil- son. I would not do so"were he to be a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people at the coming election, but I feel that we should have been actuated by some of the fighting “spirit of that doughty old warrior, Stephen Decatur, when he declared, ‘My country, may she always be right, but right or wrong, my coun» try,’ and have adopted the resolution sustaining the president of our land.” Valentine’s Statement. Fred S. Valentine, secretary of the State association, in speaking of the matter last night, said that such a resolution had no place in'a meeting of business men.( “We are not diplo- mats,’” he said, “‘But as business men we have the utmost confidence in the president of our country and his ad- visors and the tabling of the resolu- tion does not in any way indicate that a single member of the body is not a loyal American, ready and willing ‘in any way possible to aid the United This Is the Last Lot of These Fine Panama Hats.

'While the war atmosphere pervaded the room, another matter dealing with the state militla was discussed. In consideration of the fact -that the National guard of Connecticut is serv, ing state and country, often at decided personal loss, resolutions were adopt- ed pledging aid in every manner neces- sary. ’ : At Business Session.

Songe were sung, the orchestra pla; and altogether much good fellowship was displayed. After the banquet, Mayor Frank J. Rice was introduced to the assembly. In behalf of the Elm City he wel- comed the, representatives of the chambers. ‘Mayor Rice congratulated the body on so large an attendance in the middle of the summer from so many distant points. Enlist Ladies in Work. Charles A, Colley of Waterbury, in- troduced as & resl live wire, got the crowd {n a good humor by relating a few yarnsg and then sprung his true message. - The glat of his speech was to anlist the ladies in the work.' They are now citizens of the state, they are praperty holders, and most influen- tial. . Take them 'to your outings, treat them as if they had an inter- est in their cities and’ they in turn will do much god work. John Rodemeyer, when called upon to address the meeting, sald that since his sentiments had been sget forth by {he preceding speaker, he would: de- eline and make way for someone who had a message. J. T. Cruttenden, president of the Bastern Connecticut Development. as- sociation, spoke, He explained what could be accomplished by community interest. More can be accomplished by several towns having the ' same common “interest and work together in congerted actlom, ' The committee in charge of the business and pleasure meeting con- sisted of: Charles M. Walker, presi- dent New Haven Business Men's as- sociation, chairman; N. R. Branch, former president of Norwich Cham- ber of Commerce, and William “A.

Citizen From His Automobile ‘and Threaten to Shoot Him. Washington, July 30.—There is a | genuine reign of terror in Mexlco City Insofar as legal procedure 1§ ~on- cerned,” reads a message to the state department, dated July 28, which also detailed am assault upon Allan Mallory, an Ameriean citizen, by Za- pata soldierg near Puebla. Mallory, the report said, 'was in an automobile with a gon of the Chillan minister to Mexico, and two Span- iards. The car, en rdute to the coast, flew the American flag and was car- rying diplomatic correspondeénce. Neéar Puebla the automobile was stopped by a company of Zapata sol- dlers. The occupants were pulled out and the American flag was torn from its staff and trampled upon by the soldiers, who took Mallory and his companions before a Zapata officer. They were searched, their papers were taken and the two Spaniards were sentenced to be executed. ‘Whether senténce was carrid out s nqt known, the message bearing evi- dence of having been censored on that point, Mallory protested against the =en. tencing of the Spaniards, one of whom was chauffeur of the automo- bile. “Keep your mouth shut or you will be shot, he was told by the officer, who later released him. An investi- gation of the incident has been or- dered. Paul Hudson, editor of the Mexi- can Herald, and his family, still are prisoners in Mexico City, another message said. Orders for their re- lease signed by President Chaszaro, head of the Mexico City convention government, are said to have been l.-' nored and appeals citizens and the Brazilian ministor have been fruitless.
