WOODRUFF ON
 POLITICAL BOSS Draws Distinction Between Him and Real Leader
 at Republican
 Feast. THE MACHINE IS FURTHER EXPLAINED Statement Reiterated That Chatfield is Not the
 Nominee of a
 Boss.

With few words from all the can- didates on the city ticket and from other party leaders the republicans closed the speaking part of the city campaign with the annual feast given to the ward workers at Republican club hall last evening. All of the can didat were on hand and in addition Governor Woodruff, Colonel Ullman and Colonel Pickett occupied seats at the guest table. The hall was taxed to it's capacity to provide accommo- dations for those who were on hand, and enthusiasm and confidence reign ed supreme.
 After the eatables had been cleared away Colonel Macdonald in the car pacity of postmaster arose and in troduced Governor Woodruff as the l first speaker of the evening. The chief argument of the governors ad- dress was the distinction existing be- tween the term boss and leader. and the thing that they connote. In sub stance he said:
 T certainly appreciate the greeting which you give me here tonight.
 feel proud that am a member of the | Second ward committee. We have in New Haven one of the best, most un- selfish and one of the cleanest crowd
 of politicians 1t is possible to find in the state of Connecticut. And if there Is such thing as a leader you have one of the best leaders in Connecti- cut, one who is wholly unselfisha and
 who is doing everything he possibly
 can for the whole city of New Haven.
 The New Haven organization is
 known throughout the state and fav-
 orably known, and great many are
 trying to follow it's example And |
 am proud that this is so.

TAFT'S VISIT EAST Foreign Comment on War Secretary's Trip to
 Japan. TALK OF POSSIBILITIES French Press Believes Situ- ation Contains Elements
 of Danger.
TALK OF POSSIBILITIES

Paris, Oct. 3.--Secretary of War Tafts' visit to Japan and other points in the far east and President Roose- velt's speeches, coupled with the sem sational utterances of certain lAmeri- can papers which have been cabled here, have served to attract renewed attention to the relations between the United States and Japan, The French papers are devoting much space to the subject, but not one of them regards the situation as being acute, though they all think that it contains clements of danger This, however, has not af- fected the tone on the bourse.
 Berlin, Oct. 5.-German official cir- cles are disposed to take a calm view of the sending of the American bat tleship fleet to the Pacific ocean and do not consider that this step is an ag- gressive one against Japan or likely to lead to war. German officials are con- vinced that neither the United States nor Japan is disposed to allow the controversy to reach a stage where its settlement by force would be the only recourse.
 London, Oct. S.-"Party politics. is the general interpretations here of the discussion over the pfopriety of sendirg T a American battleship fleet to the Pacific. The English and all the European papers print the speeches of President Roosevelt and War Secretary Taft and they all re- produce comments of the American papers which are attacking the bat. tleship project. Few English papers comment on the matter in any form and those say nothing noteworthy The stock exchange where premoni tions of war in any quarter of th' globe are felt first, has not shown an, reflection of the war talk'' in som
 of the American papers.
