With the American Army in France, June 26 (By the Associated Press. )- American troops on the Marne front again attacked the Germans last night in the Belleau Wood sector. The Americans made an irresistible rush for the complete clearing of the wood, in which it was discovered yesterday the Germans were still occupying a small strip of the underbrush.
 The attack was preceded by a l5 hour bonn bardment from the American artillery.
 German prisoners taken pay tribute to the brilliant dash of the Americans, declaring the men in the assaulting party fought like demons
 The Germans were virtually cleared out Of Belleau Wood several days ago, but the discovery was made yesterday that under cover of darkness they had

CONTEMPT OF COURT
 IN ADVERTISEMENT?
Alleged Reflection on Judge Meslxill by Reed Jewelry Co. to Be
 Argued Today.

Judge B. F. Gaffney appeared be- fore Judge James T. Meslxill in the city court today and called atten- ton to an advertisement published in the local newspapers last evening by the Reed Jewelry Co.,, claiming that the advertisement was within the scope of contempt of court. '"The in- tegrity of the court has been ques- toned" said Judge Gaffney
 The advertisement in question stated: Tt is a contemptible shame to think that the finest stock ana store in New Britain is forced to the wall, by an underhanded scheme"
 George Levine, owner of the block where the Reed Jewelry Co. is To- cated, brought a summary process action for possession of the store and after trial Judge Meskil1 gave judg- ment for the plaintiff. Arguments on the writ of execution for immediate possession of the store will be made this afternoon at o'clock and Judge S. Russell Mink will argue on a writ of error on questions of law.
 Judge Gaffney gave notice that he intended to present the alleged con- tempt of court feature in the court. The insinuation is that the summary process is an underhanded scheme and the judge in finding for the plaintiff became a party to it. Judge Mink said that the copy of the ad vertisement had not been submitted to him, or he would have advised against it's publication. He said that he would claim that the summary process action was an underhanded scheme but he did not feel that that was bringing the court into it.
 Judge Meskill said that he would pass on the alleged contempt of court when the arguments come up this afternoon. If the court finds there is contempt of court the Reed Jewelry Co. will have to show cause why it should not ke cited into court to answer the charge.

DEMOCRATS GATHER FOR STATE MEETING Spellacy Considered Prob able Nominee for Lead
 ing Place.
Especial to the Herald)

Hartford, June 26.-So quickly did the republican state convention con- clude it's session today, that the decks were cleared early for the dem ocratic convention, which will open this evening in Foot Guard hall and with the arrival of David F. FitzGer- aid, chairman of the democratic state central committee, and the other New Haven delegates, democracy began to supplant republicanism in the public eye.
 Of course there is all kinds of gos- sip being exchanged, but the great est discussion is concerning the nom inee for governor. It is said that even at this late m moment no slate has been prepared although those who keep their eGr close to the ground hear echoes of the Thomas J. Spell acy cohorts marching to the battle line just as. the Indians in Connect icut used to listen for m essageS over the terrafirmagraph. long before MT. Morse completed his well known and justly popular wire code. And 1t is said the messages are not travelling by freight, meaning no reflections on anybody.
 MT. FitzGerald is said to be the most likely candidate for congress from the third district, if gossip can be given credence The plan is to run MT. FitzGerald for the Washing ton post and to nominate ex-Con- gressman Thomas l.. Reilly of Meri- den for sheriff, against his fellow townsn1an, Daniel F. Donovan. This contest will be Of interest to New Britain folk as both MT. Reilly and MT. Donovan arc natives of that city.

The Case of the Boston

cent American patriotism, assumed

Muck played the patriotic tune in and
out Of season. But it could not save
the situation. The discovery that there
were twenty unnaturalized Germans in
the band, coupled with the feeling
aroused by .he first incident, led to the
cancellation Of the contracts for CON
certs in Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Washington, Pittsburgh and elsewhere.
In the heat Of the moment Major Hig-
cinson declared that if he orchestra
was not permitted TO play under the
direction OF DR.. Muck outside Of Bos-
ton lie would disband it. He was
spared the necessity Of carrying out
his threat by the New York and Brook
Ign engagements. Then the manager
Of the orchestra disclosed the fact That
Dr.. Nue., vas rot "a German citizen or

disclosure did not help the case Of DR..

Mr. Willard wants to popuiarize the
