WAR SPIRIT STRONG
 IN BALKAN. STATES.
| All Now Depends on Influence of Powers to Prevent Outbreak.

London, Oct. 1-The Balkan diff culties have developed with alarming rapidity to a point where only spark is needed to set the whole of south eastern Europe af1ame. Three of the Balkan states by common consent have ordered the simultaneous mobilization of their armies and are making every preparation for immediate hostilities.
 Two possible explanations are offer ed, the first that a coalition of the Balkan states exists for the purpose of demanding from Turkey before she has time to conclude peace with Italy the grant of complete autonomy to the Macedonian provinces; the second that, fearing Turkey will seek an is sue from her difficulties at home and abroad in war, they are preparing themselves for possible attack.
 Everything now seems to depend on whether the great powers will be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear to prevent the outbreak of hostilities and preserve the status quo in the Ba4- kans. Today's developments appear fully to confirm the existence of a military understanding between Bull garia, Greece, Servia and Montenegro directed against Turkey.
 The approach of winter Is held to be a factor in favor of peace and in the European capitals the hope is still cherished in diplomatic quarters that the efforts of the powers will be suc- cesSful.

FRED SCHWARTZ SHOT
 WITHOUT PRoVocATIoN
Former Employe, Mentally Unbalanced
 Opens Fire on Him.

East Haddam, Sept. 3O.-Phihp Young, who is believed to be mentally unbalanced, this afternoon shot and seriously wounded Frederick Schwartz, proprietor of Camp Wopowog, a well known summer camp in this vicinity. The shooting was apparently withou. provocation. Schwartz, who has four bullet wounds in his head and neck, was rushed to New Haven hospital.
 Young, who is about 45 years old, has been employed at the camp in various capacities for several years. He applied for work last Friday, but was told there was nothing for him to do. Nothing was seen of him until MT. Schwartz entered his barn late this afternoon, and then Young sud- denly appeared in the hay mow. He brandished a large revolver and with out any warning fired four shots at Schwartz, all of which took effect. Young then disappeared in the direc- tion of Moodus.9
 In the meantime Deputy Sheriff O'Neill of East Hampton and Consta- ble Rich were notified and they started in pursuit in an auto. They saw Young running across a meadow and after an exciting chase took him a prisoner.
 ] When asked as to why he shot Schwartz, Young said that he asked him for a recommendation and that Schwartz refused to give it to him.
 Young was taken to Haddam jail to- night and he will be arraigned tomor- TOW, ts-a

Syracuse. \. Y. Sept. 30.-The night p@tore the democratic state convention that, meets here tomorrow found q. sharply drawn issue over the renorni- nation of Governor Dix.

WILSON SURF RisED.
Says He is Astonished at Statement of
 Governor Dix.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. Ex-Governor Woodrow Wilson, when he reached Sea Girt tonight from Atlantic City where he had made brief speech of welcome to the American roads con gress, permitted the correspondents to announce formally that he had read with great surprise the statement said to have been made by Governor Dix today. for he had absolutely no recol- lection of having written Governor Dix any letter in which he expressed an opinion of any kind as to his ad- ministration"
 The presidential nominee referred to a statement issued from Albany early in the day by Governor Dix in answer to Governor Wilson's pronouncement of yesterday urging the democratic state convention to name a progress sive man. Governor Dix had been quoted in the statement as asserting that there was nothing in his personal correspondence with Governor Wilson to indicate that the presidential nomi- nee opposed him. Governor Wilson was greatly astonished when he was shown Governor Dix's statement, and although at first hesitant to make an comment, as he desired to avoid any personal references, he finally allowed eh reporters to quote him indirectly as stated above.
