ZIONIST CONFERENCE.
Prominent Hebrews to Speak at New
 Britain Meeting.

The state conference of the camps of the Order Sons of Zion that is being held here tomorrow at the Hebrew school has stirred the interest of the New Britain Jewish population. A large audience will greet the out-of- town guests at the open mass meeting In the evening at the Hebrew school hall, which will conclude the confer ence.
 An extremely pleasant surprise is in store for the audience in the person of Israel Belkind, a Zionist and author of international reputation, who arrived in this country recently and is touring the United States.
 Joseph Barondess, commissioner of education in New York, will be the speaker of the evening. MT. Barondess Is perhaps better known to the Amer lean Jewish public than any other man among the communal workers. His thirty years of activity for the public welfare in New York has won him the respect and admiration of Jew and Gentle alike in the Metropolis. There Is hardly a single public improvement In the congested part of New York that has not been made through the efforts of MT. Barondess. The New Britain Jewish people will undoubtedly turn out in a mass and give him a royal reception.
