ITALY IN DILEMMA.
Information From Vienna Says Rome Government Would Be Glad to
 Find Way Out of Difficulty

Vienna, Nov. 6-How overjoyed the Italian government would be if it could find a way of withdrawing from the Tripolitan campaign, is made clear by information received here from Rome today. Taking into accord the Turkish weakness and convinced that the Tripo1itan garrisons were too fec ble to put up more than the merest semblance of resistance, the GiOlitti ministry undertook the seizure of the province, thinking it would be an easy affair and that, in the popular enthu- sism it would create, the anti-fni1i- tarist and anti-monarchist outcries would be drowned.
 Instead of winning overwhelmingly with scarcely the loss of man, as expected, conditions were quickly re- served.
 Now comes the threat of interven- tion by the powers on the grounds that the Italian warfare is so bar barously waged that they cannot look quietly on.
 The facts, although suppressed by strict censorship, are sure to become public before long. When that hap pens, not only the cabinet but the throne may be in danger. On the other hand, to abandon the fight now would be to confess defeat and precip itate domestic trouble which the gov ernment does not dare to face.
 Illustrative of the cabinets anxiety there is what seems the well-founded report that General Fruzoni has been chosen to succeed General Caneva It is certain that a fresh force of be- tween 15,000 and 10000 is being secret ly collected to be dispatched from Naples to reinforce the army in occu- patton of Tripoli.
 What is happening in Tripoli at the moment is unknown. At last ac- counts a fierce artillery battle was raging between the Italians inside the towns and Turkish and Arab forces who surround it on every side.

Meltzer Tells How Compensation Act
 Failed of Passage
fContinued from Page n

Continued from Page 1) to spread Socialism not the immediate amelioration of the condition of the workingmen.
 Wherever they feel themselves strong enough in numbers the leaders are looking for office, and the emolu- ments going with it, and care very lit tie that the misguided workingmen, who follow them will suffer through their success. That shops will close with their advent, that business will be at a standstill, that property will depreciate in the city, all that does not concern them. They have no stake in this city, and they will be the first 'mice" to leave the sinking ship. letting the poor, foolish work ingmen save themselves as good as they can It is the duty of every thoughtful man, every employer of labor, every business man. in fact every citizen, who has the interests of the city at heart to do missionary work and warn every one against the danger of the success of Socialism here which would be even worse than the success of the lobby.

EUROPEAN PRESS ON
 ITALIAN ATROCITIES

London, Nov. 6-European press, out~ side Italy, accepts with practical unanimity, today. the accounts given by newspaper correspondents from Tripoli regarding the atrocities they say the Italians are perpetrating there. Vigorous demands are being made for interference by the combined powers and representations to King Victor are likely from. majority at least of the old world governments, that a more merciful policy must be adopted or the campaign cannot, in the interests of humanity, be permitted to go on.
 The English cabinet seems disposed to act with considerable caution, but Germany and Austria, in particular, which have looked with disfavor from the first upon the Tripolitan grab, are understood to be strongly inclined to take a diplomatic hand in the situa- tion at once.

Cheering Crowd
 Greets OonneIIy And Boucher I Today
Democratic Candidate For Mayor Quotes From His Record in Legislature to Audience at U. MI. c. Co.

A large. enthusiastic crowd greeted John NJ Donnelly and City Clerk Ste phen F. Boucher at the U. M. c. Go plant at 12:3O this afternoon. Both speakers made rousing addresses which were received with hearty ap- plause.
 George Hull, a Socialist orator, gave a brief talk.
 Preceding MT. Hull, who spoke for the first 15 minutes, Mr. Donnelly was introduced by City Clerk Boucher. MT. Donnelly said: After hearing MT. Hull, want to ask you workingmen if John M DonneHy while in the Leg islature ever voted against working, men or violated any pledge?" He then read from the Senate records, bills introduced and passed in the Senate.
 Bill No. introducing trial by jury act.

 While member of the Common Council of Bridgeport he introduced a bill in the Common Council for pure water
 This was disputed by George E. Hill at a Republican rally in Germania hall, but the facts can be verified by examining the records of the Com mon Council for that year.
 City Clerk Stephen F. Boucher then made a rousing speech. He spoke of the three parties in the field. The people knew, he said, the records of the men in each party and knew them personally. Therefore it is not neces- sary that outsiders like MT Hull of Bristol, and MT. Hunter of Darien, should come before them and address them. He then told of the record of the men who are on the Democratic ticket.
 The next speaker was Representa- tive Albert Phillips of Stamford. He made an attack upon Robert Hunter, the Socialist speaker.

PHILLIPS OF STAMFORD
 ATTACKS ROBERT HUNTER

Representative Albert Phillips of Stamford, spoke at three rallies, last evening, under Democratic auspices, and devoted his address principally to an attack upon Robert Hunter who was the Socialist candidate for Gov ernor in the last campaign. He said in part that Hunter was a gold spoon ed Socialist and an aristocrat, by birth, instinct and marriage. Hun ter, he said, never earned @ dollar in his lifeS That the farm upon which he lives is owned by his brother-in- law, AnsOn Phelps Stokes, and that the produce which is raised on the farm there is sold at very high prices. He repeated the charge made by Att torney Williamson of Darien at Re- publican meeting the other day, that the workingmen on the Hunter farm are worked F hours a day. He said Hunter had the backing of finances without brains.

THE CORONER'S ELECTION
 MEANS 8 s s FOR WARNER

Mir. Warner asks the people of Bridgeport to vote for Coroner Wilson and '.my policies" planned to delay municipal own ership of public utilities, by plunging the city deeply into debt, through the issue of bonds for all permanent improvements, and through policy of munich pal aggrandizement in depart ments that are not revenue pro- ducers.
 Warner is an officer of the gas and water monOpOlies, and his father is an officer of the trolley and railroad monopoIies. The people want eighty cent gas, but Warner wants dollar gas and he wants a mayor who will stand for dollar gas.
 The people want filtered wa ter, because they don't want typhoid, like the citizens of Tor ringtOn. But it would cost War ner money to filter his water.
 The people want six ticket for a quarter, each good for a troll ley ride, the same as the people of Waterbury have.
 Warner wants everybody to pay a 1ull nVc cent 1dfc.
 The people want municipal ownership of electric light, which means electricity for many homes that cannot afford to buy current now, and competition with gas.

 The people of Bridgeport don't like 20 year water contracts. MT. Warner does. The people don't love the lobby. MT. Warner does. The people are satisfied with their school system. MT. Warner wants to reconstruct the schools to suit King.

 He is the King who forms the second member of the Warner I King-Ilavery combination.
 A vote for Wilson is a vote for '.secret" government. It is vote for Warner, King, Iavery and the public service corpora tiOnS.
