DEMOCRATS DEADLOcKED IN ELEVENTH SENATORIAL
Matter Now Goes to Committee from
 the State Central Committee.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 12.-There was a deadlock at the Eleventh dis trict senatorial convention among the democrats tonight, and after 50 ballots had been taken the delegates were un- able to get even as far as selecting a chairman. The candidates for the sen- atorship from this district are Senator John F. Shanley, who has held the office for years, and J. s. Mccarthy. Ever since the primaries the fight has been a warm one. and efforts to com promise have failed. Each candidate has apparently seven delegates solid, for the cote for chairman stood to throughout the entire balloting. At il o'clock, when no nomination had been made, adjournment was taken nand each group of delegates elected their respective candidate at separate" conventions.
 The matter now goes to a committee from the state central committee and it is considered likely that g. com- promise candidate will be named Senator Shanley was present with counsel and it is said he threatens to take legal procedure if his name is moi put on the ballot
 The other democratic senatorial con- ventions were harmonious, the candi dates being named by unanimous choice as follows: Eighth district stephen Whitney; Ninth district George M. Griswold; Tenth district James J. Grady.

 ter to Act, But He Refused.

Washington, Oct 12.-An official re- port received here today describes the efforts of the German military .author1- ties at Brussels to send word through the American legation to the people Of Antwerp of the intended bombardment of that city.

REPUBLICAN, ASSAULT ON
 ADMINISTRATION POLICIES
Made in Senate with Particular Refer

Washington, Oct. 12-A general re-
 publican assault on the democratic administration and it's policies, with particular reference to the pending senate today while democratic leaders devoted their efforts to smoothing the way for early adjournment of con gress.
 Senators Smoot, Burton, Borah and Smith of Michigan vigorously assailed
 democratic legislation and democratic

 Apathetic silence on the democratic side greeted the outburst. Democratic leaders planned to allow the republi- cans to have their say, then pass the tax bill and adjourn. Senator Sim mons, however, made a brief reply to attacks on the democratic tariff. The demand of southern members of congress for legislation to relieve the cotton situation loomed up as a pos sible bar to early adjournment. Sem ator Overman of North Carolina de- clined to allow the senate to agree l that the tax bill be voted on on Thurs | day, saying that something must be done about cotton. It is expected that the southerners will be satisfied if 8 vote is taken on an amendment to the | bill designed to aid the cotton states and that this will be done. | Senator Smoot, opening the republi- can attack on the tax bill, declared nc additional levy would have been neces- sary if the protective tariff law ha6 remained in force.

PRICES OF FooDsTuFFs
 HIGH IN AUSTRIA
Notwithstanding Suspension of Im-
 port Duties on Provisions.

Venice, Oct. 12, by way of Paris, 6.S0 D. m.-Advices from Vienna state that although the import duties on food stuffs have been suspended by the Austrian government, prices thus far have shown no sign of decreasing On the contrary in some instances prices arc still advancing. The cost of food is much higher than it is in Germany.
 The newspapers openly accuse the Austrian land proprietors of endeavor- ing to make the utmost of the war sit uation regardless of the needs of the public. Much irritation is exhibited toward the authorities because they did not earlier take measures to pre- vent an utterly unjustifiable increase in the prices for cattlet
 It is now declared that the fixing of maximum prices coupled with meas ures compelling the farmers to bring their grain to market instead of hoard ing it, means only the prevention of a further advance in the already ex- orbitant food prices. The women of Vienna ara protesting against the vrac- tice adopted by the bakers of making bread 1oaves of only two-thirds the ordinary size. It is also charged that the quality of white bread has deter iorated greatly, evidently because o1 the admixture of barley and meal.
 The manufacturers of Austria are beginning to complain of the shortage of raw material and are demanding that the government suspend the i'm. port duties on raw iron. machinery ane tools and also demand that maxir1un prices be fixed for timber, petroleum and wool and a reduction made in tn, tax on industrial enterprises.
 The papers of Vienna publish lauda tory obituaries on the late Kin; Charles of Rumania. They express tn conviction that Rumanta will not b. induced by Russia to engage in a pol icy of adventure which not only woul, compromise her vital interest, bu lead eventually to her destruction.

The occupation of Antwerp by the Germans has been followed, according to the latest reports. by the occupa- ton of Ghent, which would seem to confirm the German plan. as it has al- ready been outlined, of a movement toward the coast, with Ostend as its objective.
 1t Is pointed out by British military experts that it is Germany's intention to make a permanent stronghold or Antwerp, so as to hold Belgium in her grip, and in this way gain a position within easy reach Of the English coast
 British Force Near ostend.
 The fighting along the great line ex- tending almost from the North sea to the German province of Lorraine con- tinues with indefinite results, for the actual operations in the northern sec ton of France are not being divulged to any extent by the official statements issued by the French war department. Where the British endorsements have been sent is a matter of conjecture, but it is believed that g. considerable force is already in the neighborhood of Ostend-
 Recruiting Active in England.
 Recruiting in England is again be- ing actively pushed. for the need of men is recognized and the requirements for service in the infantry have been lowered for the purpose of insuring a large supply of recruits. Similarly, Great Britain is taking precautions against raids over English towns by German airships, this latter action probably resulting from the recent at tacks on Paris by aeroplanes.
 British Aviation Corps in Readiness.
 Just what measures the British gov ernment has devised for the purpose oi repulsing such attacks have not beer divulged. but 1t is understood that the aviation corps is ready to take the ail at the first sign of German air cI1uis- CTS.
 Russian Reserves.
 Berlin officially reports that tnt situation in France is satisfactory st far as her arms are concerned, anG other official reports indicate that the German and Austrian armies have made impressive progress in the Rus. sian campaign. Russia is reported tt have abandoned the siege of PrzemySl the important Austrian fortress il Galicia, and is lining up to meet z threatened attack by the Austro-Ger. man army.
