London, Sept. 21.—(By Associated Press.)—While the allied powers are | feverishly endeavoring to arrange a peace conference to clean the slate be- tween Turkey and Greece and pre- vent more fighting in the New East rumbles of impending hostilities con- tinue to come from Constantinople and the Dardanelles. British Hold Chanak. A relatively small force of British | troops is holding 'Chanak, position on the southern shore of the straits, while the Turkish nationalists, eager for further conquests after their overwhelming defeat of the Greeks, are concentrated outside the neutral zone at Ismid and Chanak, impatiently awaiting the word from Mustapha Kemal Pasha to advance. Kemalists Have Strength. The Kemalists, official French dis- patches eay, have avallable for use in such a drive, 1,000 modern field guns, 5,000 machine guns and enough ammunition for a two years' cam- paign, which they captured from the Greeks. If their spokesman in Constanti- nople is to be believed the Turks are determined that the allies shall not stand in the path of their desire to re-occupy ‘'Thrace. An Press dispatch quotes man, Hamid Bey, to the effect that the Kemalist army will certainly de- clare war on the British if they at- tempt to interfere with a movement across the straits. Call Bey To Conference. A ray of hope, however, is seen in the conference at Smyrna between Mustapha Kemal Pasha and Gen Peile, French high commissioner to which Yussuf Kémal Bey, the na- tionalist foreign minister, has been hastily summoned from Angora. The calling in of Yussuf Kemal points to the discussion of important diplo- matic questions and the consequent delay raises hopes that the Turkish attack if it takes place at all will be retarded until the British reinforce- ments can arrive. Fear of Attack. In case of an attack the question of the esafety of the comparatively emal! British force at Chanak will be- come an anxious one here. Marshal Foch is quoted as saying that the po- sition is absolutely untenable except if held by a very considerable forée, while Field Farshal Plumer, who has been inspecting the British defenses, is said to have sent a message which Premier Lloyd George commuicated to the cabinet yesterday to the effect that he has great confidence in the results of the collaboration between Brig. Gen. Harrington and Rear Ad- miral Brock. Navy Could Hold Turks. Opinion here for the moment is banking on the strength of the Brit- ish naval force in the Dardanelles, which is considered sufficient alone to hold any possible attack by Turks. No details are available of the burning of Panderma on the south- ern shores of the Sea of Marmora, as announced in official French circles last night leaving. Russian Soviets Pleased. According to the Times, the Rus- sian soviet government sees in present Near Eastern situation an op- portunity to obtain recognition from the powers. Russia proposes, newspapers say, to act the part of mediator between the Greeks, hoping thereby to establish the popularity of the soviet republic among the people of the Mediterran- ean Asia and compel the Entente powers to revise their attitude to- wards her.

Athens, Sept 21.—(By Associated Press.)—According to information received in officlal circles, French naval units occupied Mudania, on the Sea of Marmora, and insisted upon the surrender of several regiments of Greek troops, who were trying to gain the sea for embarkation homeward after their defeat by the Turks The report has caused excitement in Greek circles. Mudania is within the neutral zone of the Dardanelles With thousands of refugees arriv. t daily from Asia Minor and an in- ficient wheat supply at home, teece is confronted with u food froblem so grave that international help given imme#iately may alone gave thousands from starvation Already some 200,000 refugees here have been dumped uncerimonionsly on the Grecian shore or disembarked an the islands of the Aegean, not only food but water is lacking. the key| Associated | this spokes- | the | It is stated, however, that | the Greeks burned part of the town | the | IE the | Turks and | | | wheye 4tor Transport ¢ ! ity FORD FACTINES i LB Bl BE REOPENED FRIDAY 100,000 Employes Will Be Taken Back—I.

Reports that the plants would re- open tomorrow, were in circulation among foremen at the Ford plants today. Company executives refused to discuss the rumors pending word from Henry I'ord, who was said to he traveling in Ohio on his railroad, the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton. The reports were to the effect that crders had been telegraphed by Edsel 1'ord, presldent of the company who was in Cincinnati last night in con- ference with a group of coal operat- ors for reopening of all departments of the various plants tomorrow, Henry Ford was understood to be on his way to join Edsel somewhere in the south- ern states with a view to making per- manent arrangements for an uninter- rupted coal supply. Orders for the opening of the plants were telegraphed here today by Edsel B. Ford, president of the motor com- pany, who is in Cincinnati. Mr. Ford said cancellation of the interstate commerce commission’s service order number 23, had made it possible again to obtain coal. MINER WHO WROTE MESSAGE, MISSI William Fescel, Who Inscribed Fare- well Words on Post, Not Among Those Found in Cave-in. Jackson, Calit,, Sept. 21, (By A. P.) —One body was missing today among those of the 47 gold miners who perished from gas nearly a mile down in the Argonaut shaft. By a whim of fate it was the body of William | IPessel, the man who wrote on the rock with the smoke of his miner's lamp a farewell message for all the doomed 47. Fessel wrote: “Gas getting bad. Three o'clock.” The state industrial accident com- mission has been instructed to cut away and preserve that portion of the stone in the mine drift. Clarence E. Jarvis, member of the state hoard of control sald the stone would be kept by the state in memory of the victims. Word was passed last night that all the bodies were out Three men counted 47 bodies in the mine on Septembar 18. But upon a re-check of the hodies it was discovered that only 46 had arrived at the Kennedy mine surface Consternation reigned among the rescue workers for several minutes until if was remembered that a cave- in upon the 4,810 foot level might have buried one of the bodies. Bryan 0. Pickard, federal engineer in charge of relief work, issued this statement “Three men counted 47 bodies when we first found the dead Only 48 have been brought to the surface. Since we began work on the place where the bodies were, there has been a cave-in and there is a possibility that the 47th body has been covered up by it."

Angelo M. | Hartford, Sept. 21.-Delegates did| not feel disposed to get into the armory early and when 10 e'clock | daylight savings time came the hour to which the convention stood ad- journed there were not two score delegates in the place. To most of the delegates last night was a livel ore. At 3 a. m. the hotel corridor: | were filled with groups of men andl women discussing party matters and making predictions Most of the caucuges which were held after mid- | night had been arguments at the| gatherings of the intensity of the riv.! alry between the Spellacy-Lonergan | and Fitzgerald-Thoms factions The | =\1h-r0mmlflpq on resolutions sat until a. m. working over a bundle of proposed planks and in the end drew | qup a five hundred word document in | which a selected assortment of sub- | jects were each covered in one line declarations. The eub-committee had | decided to make the platform ‘‘short | and snappy.” The committee mem- ! bers expressed astonishment at some of the proposals before it. The most ¢tartling of those were in a bunch offered by Thomas N Hewes of Farmington, former member of the house in w he proposed abolition, through constitutional amendment of elect: administrative officers except governor and lieutenant-governor The county caucuses in which ef- forts were made to agree on pro- | posals to put forward a candidate for a place on the ticket“were in most instances inconclusive Cummings Boom Starts. In spite of the fact that the Spel- lacy-Fitzgerald combination claimed control of the convention the oppo- |sition had it guessing. Some county leaders early began canvassing to se- cure support for Cummings for sen- ator. The permanent organization and credentials committee met just be-| fore the convention resumed. There were on contests over delegates less than the usual numhber of proxies 2nd Mr Cummings was the choice for permanent chairman Indecision Apparent.

Praise For Wilson We endorse the administration of | Woodrow Wilson. When the imparted history of our time {s written his name | will stand in the foremost plage of the world's greatest men. The ideals for which he stood and the reforms which he carried through will constitute, for |all time, great heritages to our coun- trymen and the work for humanity | which he inaugurated will go forward |as time goes on until the nations of the world find real and lasting peace. G. O. P. Interrupted Prosperity We charge that the republican pol. icy interrupted the prosperity of our country and impaired its prestige. We charge that the industrial depression which began shortly after the {naugu- ation of President Harding was due o the cutting off of our foreign mark- ets by an unjustifiable policy of short- sighted selfishness and national isola- tion The pending tariff law is but s continuation of this policy of inculari. ty and can have no other efect than to accentuate the present evils from which the people are suffering. For Tarifft Commission We favor as a remedy for these evils taking the tariff out of politics through the operation of an expert tariff commission The child welfare program should be amplified and broadened in itg scope. We condemn republican leadership for affronting the intelligence of the people by granting a seat {n the senate to Senator Newberry. Revise Volstead Act We favor revision of the Volstead act so that the same may be made to accord in letter and in spirit with the provisions of the 15th amendment. We favor the enactment of an old age pension law. We favor the applications of the principles of civil service and we con- demn the republican administration both federal and state for its arrogant defiance of these principles. Would Make P. U. C. Elective We declare and favor of the princle ples of home rule for our cities and towns. We believe in the selection of the members of the state publie utilities commiesion by popular vote. We favor legislation having for its object, relief to the people in so far as trolley and transportation rates are concerned. Realizing the lack of co- ordination and consequent inefficiency in our state departments, we favor a reorganization of these departments. Reorganize Tax System As a means to relieve excessive tax burdens we pledge our support to the reorganization of the tax system.

Planks Applauded Several of the planks were applaud- ed as they were read and the adoption was by viva voce applause The chair then called for nomina« tions for 1. 8. Senator. No one moved to take the floor. Delegates began to shift about. R. P. Butler who was to | put Mr. Spellacy’s name before the | delegates, did not move. Eyes were turned toward the Hartford delega« tion. It looked like Spellacy strategy to let the Lonergan men lead off. The chair said “‘perhaps you did not [hear what I said.” Would Run Cummings Up mn\r(‘d a delegate on the left and said, "I move |h._n we nominate Homer 8. Cummings.” (Cheers in the rear.)
