The dele- gations were seated at tables ranged about the hall, with the representa- tives of the principal allies in the foremost places. The Ttalian delega- tion sat at the end of the hall facing the main entrance. On the right of the Italians were the French and Japanese delegations, and on the left the British and Belgian.

All the plans have been completed today for this great economic congress which was generally, regarded by competent judges as the most import- ant significant assembly since the Versailles peace conference. Repre- sentatives of thirty-three states were prepared to take steps that it was hoped would lead to the economic re- .construction of Europe the conference particularly to be concerned with plans for rebuilding central Europe and;vehabilitating Russia which was admitted by many delegates, to be a subject of supreme importance by fit- self—perhaps the most far-reaching question which the congress shall be called upon to solve. Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain, who was the chief moving force behind the call for the confer- ence emphasized on the eve of the gathering the vital necessity there was for Europe and the world of grappling earnestly with the prob- lems confronting the conferees. While declining to make a prediction as to what would he accomplished he de- clared: “Ong , thing is certain; we have come here to work with all energy and earnestness and not to waste time in amusement. T am sure all the delegations are in accord on one point, and that is to reach an agree- ment which will prevent renewal of international conflict thus re-estab- lishing general peace and reciprocal confidence between the states on a basis of economic prosperity.” As for the French delegation, it was declared in its behalf it had come in an open spirit, resolved to do all pos- sible to accomplish the task set for the conference. The French as well as the others are stressing the Rus- sian problem which is brought to the forefront by the presence here of a numerous Russian delegation headed by the soviet foreign minister, George Chitcherin, its coming, together with that of a German delegation and dele- gations from the neutral states, marking the first time the allies have gathered in such a conference since the war with the nations which were their enemies in that struggle and others which remained outside the eonflict.

Formal opening of the sessions was to take place at 3 o'clock this after- noon in the historic palace of St. George. This picturesque structure was bullt in 1260 by Frate Olivero, and was the first official residence of the captains of the people, then the seat of the celebrated company and bank of St. George. Genoese gathered along the water front seeking advantageous positions from which to observe foreign diplo- mats and distinguished . statesmen upon their arrival. In the bay of Genoa itself screeches of small tug- boats and the more impressive and deep-throated whistles of the large vessels scemed to breathe life into the modern commercial city of Genoa. Lively scenes surrounding the open- ing of the congress, intensified by the activity of this busy port, impressed observers as a fitting background for @ congress whose serious mission is the restoration of economic health to a suffering and sorely tried Europe.

New Haven, April 10,—An attempt to hold up a fast express train bound from New Haven and routed for the Poughkeepsie bridge line, near West Haven early yesterday was reported hy the operating offices of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road today.

Iour men were sent from New Haven to the train and the strangers disappeared. Chief J. R. McMahon of the rail- road police says there was no attempt to rob the train.

Candidates Confident. Ex-Mayor George A. Quigley, who heads the republican ticket, and Al- derman Angelo M. Paonessa, the se- lection of the democrat primariés, are full of confidence. In statements to the press this morning each asserted that he did not question but that the election would return him a victory, opponent. The léaders of the respec- tive parties and their lieutenants are equally as confident of a party suc- cess. These seems to’ be little disposition on the part of bettors to take Paon- essa's side in the mayoralty race. There are a few wagers in large sums reported, but they are principally as to llflujori(i('s or individual wards, rather than on tke clection of one or | the osher candidate. Little Betting. One group of sportsmen in the north end of the city are reported to have laid a $1,500 wager that Quigley would carry the city with a majority of 1,800 votes. Another and nmnlh"r‘ offer cardied tho predioy hat the fifth and sixth wards would not give | Paonessa a 600 majority. | The second ward is the only one| of the six districts where there seems to be a difference of opinion as to | which candidate will carry off the honors. That district gave Paonessa a large vote in the democrat primar- ies, being one of the two that gave the nominec a majority over his op- ponent, Joseph M. Halloran. Like- wise, the ward gave Quigley a ma- jority over Orson I°. Curtis in the re- publican primary. It is the ward that | the republican nominee represented in | the council, and the district in which | he now lives, Second Ward Uncertain Both candidates have extensixe followings in this, the uncertain ward. There is a rather large Italian popu- latien in the district, that is looked to for a big Paonessa majority. On the other hand, not heing a Curtis stronghold, party leaders declare the republicans will unite in Quigley's fa- var and carry the district. The bulk of Paonessa's strength will come in the sixth ward. In this precinct, the nominee piled up a suf- ficiently large number of votes at the primaries to overcome majorities giv- | en Halloran in four of the other five wards, The district is strongly demo- crat, and in addition .is the one rep- | resented as councilman and alderman by the candidate for the past 11 years. | sixth Ward Paonessa's | Realizing that Paonessa will carry the district by a fairly large majority, G.

The republican party con- | cedes a majority of about 200 to the ! democrat nominee. This, together with a 500 majority in the sixth ward, | which they assert, is all that Paones- | sa can hope for, makes 700 votes for Quigley to overcome in the four dis- tricts which, they argue will give him substantial majorities. Democrats Claim Three | In the democrat camp, | nearly even prospects a| however, only the first, third and fourth wards are conceded as Quigley districts, while they expect Paonessa to carry the second, fifth and sixth. Because of the expressed opposition to’ Quig ley in the first ward, the democrats fecl certain that the usual republican majority from that precinct will bhe shaved closely. In the third ward, one of the districts that gave Curtis a majority Quigley in the pri mary, they feel that the Quigley-Cur tis bitterness will rtitself at the polls to the disadvantage of the re publican nominee.

MEN'S STRIKE Daugherty Reported Con- sidering Dismissing In- dictments To Permit Conference Lewis, Leader of Union Miners, Declares Walkout Is Success—Attempt to Unionize Open Mines, . e ey Indianapolis, April 10.—Attorney Gen. Daugherty, who arrived here from Washington today unannounced, was declared authoritatively to be considering the dismissal of indlets ments pending here in federal court which some operators have declared made impossible any wage conference that would end the coal strike which began April 1. The attorney general's mission was kept a secret and he refused to state its purpose declaring he could say nothing until “investigation of the purpose of my trip is complete and I am satisfled that any action is right.” To Confer With Judge. Mr. Daugherty, it was learned was scheduled to have a conference during the afternoon with Federal Judge A. B. Anderson before whom is pending the indictments charging 225 coal op- erators, union leaders and others with violating the Sherman anti-trust law by a conspiracy to monopolize the coal industry and control prices. L. Ert Stack, special government prosecutor of the cases also was to meet with the attorney general but he said he had no conference arranged at the time of the attorney general's arrival here. Result of Old Strike - The indictments which the attorney general was said to be considering dismissing, were an outgrowth of the 1919 soft.coal strike. Much of the government's case apparently hinged on the wage conferences between miners and operators it being charged that the conspiracy originated in 1891 when an interstate wage scale cover- ing western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi- ana and Illinois was made by operae tors and miners.
