Will Attempt to Make
President Explain His
Words
Bid for Election
May Be Boomerang
Even Some Democrat Lead
ers Believe Wilson's
Appeal Is Unwise
BY Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Prcsident
Wilson's appeal for the election of a
Democratic Congress was discussed
everywhere in Washington to oday, to
almost the utter exclusion of the war
and the peace notes. Even the rumor
that Austria was taking steps for the
disbanding of her armies did not serve
to check its discussion.
It was learned that certain Demo-
cratic leaders, who had advised strong
ly against the issuance of the state
ment, had stated frankly their view
that the time for issuing the state
ment was inopportune. These admirers
Of the President took the view that the
public strength Of any man in public
life fuctuatcs. 1t rises and falls.
At the particular moment of the is
suancc of the appeal, they contended.
the Presidents strength with the
country was at a comparatively low
ebb--not that it was not still very
great, but that it was far below the
normal estimation in which the coun-
try holds the President.
Their contention on this point was
this-that the country had, during tho

Favors Surrender

PARIS, Oct. 26.-In well-informed
circles it is said that the nomination
OF Count Julius Andrsssy as success
sor of Baron Burian, the Austro- Hun
garian Foreign Minister, is, above al
important from the viewpoint of
conclusion of peace and an applica-
tion of the safety frst' principle in
Austria. 1t is said that peace at any
price IS now popular at Vienna and
Budapest
The Zurich correspondent of the
journal says that the new FOREIGN

Speed Army Training
To Rush Men Overseas

WAsH1NGToN, Oct. as.-Army
w training camp commanders
have been ordered to eliminate from
their schedules all work that can be
done after the men arrive overseas,
as one of the moves Of the War De-
partment to speed up the enlarged
war programme and overcome de-
lays resulting from interference with
draft calls by influenza.
If the peace talk has had any ef-
feet at the War Department., it ap-
parently has spurred everybody to
further exertions to swell the num-
Der Of troops going to France. The
October draft calls, held up because
of the influenza epidemic, are be-
ginning to 60 out again, and nothing
will be permitted to interfere with
the movement of soldiers overseas
at the rate Of 250,O00 monthly.

Women Unite
To Keep Out
ss
German Toys
Modern ''Boston Tea Partv''
Threatened If Goods
Reach Public

Thousands of determined American
women in speech and action yesterday
expressed their firm resolution that
the boatload of German toys landed
here few days ago shall not be dis
tributed to the children Of this coun-
try.
Butler Brothers, the consignees of
the goods, said they would not accept
the shipment and would have nothing
to do with the toys.
The importation of the Hun play
things at this time was viewed by many
patriotic leaders as characteristic
piece of German propaganda.
Every peaceable effort, it was said,
would be made to prevent their distri-
button, but it was intimated that if no
other method availed an up-to-the min
ute repetition Of the famous Boston
tea party might be staged.
Women Are Indignant
The storm of protest, which first de-
veloped at a meeting of the New York
Federation of Womcn's Clubs Friday,
reached a climax yesterday in the ac-
tion of the committee appointed at the
meeting to deal with the matter. Mrs.
Oliver Cromwell Field, chairman of the
committee and president of the Ameri-
can Relief Legion, announced that the
City were determined that the German
goods should not be placed on sale in
America, and that plans are now being
made with view to their return to
Germany of their ultimate destruction
here.
In view of the strong opposition to
the acceptance Of the einGermany
stuff Walter Scott, vice e-president Of
Butler Brothers, issued a statement de-
elaring that the goods had been or
dered in the spring of 1914, prior to
the outbreak of tht war; that they
were given up as lost by the local firm
and that the company has notified the
government that it will not accept de-
livery of the merchandise. The goods
are now in Brooklyn storage house.
"Although it was at first suggested
at the meeting Of the Women's Clubs
that the thing was of sufficient impor
tance to require the personal attention
of President Wilson," said Mrs. Crom-
we'll, "more sober minds prevailed. 1t
was decided that the President had too
many burdens at the present time to
be saddled with the affair, and that we
ourselves were capable of coping with
the situation. AS chairman Of the COM
mittee appointed to take over the mat
ter have selected Mrs. Henry Clarke
Coe and Mrs. Albert Gleason as CO.
workers, but will have many more on
the committee in day or two.
I'VE have arranged to have the toys
watched night and day, and will use all
peaceful means to persuade the con-
sgnees to return the INTO Germany or
have them destroyed. The sugge stion
of Mrs. Mary M. Lilly at the federation
that we do as her ancestors did
with the tea in Boston harbor is a good i
one, and if other means fail there may
be repetition, Of that famous party.

BUSINESS MEN SUBSCRIBE TO
 SECURE LOAN

At meeting of the directors of the Bridgeport Housing Co.,, held yes terday afternoon for the purpose of $3,O00, 900 Federal loan, it was an- nounced that the following firms have already taken a liberal share in the underwriting: Singer Sewing Ma chine Co.,, American Graphophone Co.,, Walter B. Lasher, Bridgeport Brass Co.,, American Tube SS Stamping Co.,, Handy & Harmon Co.,, Warner Brothers Co.,, BullaTd Machine Tool Co.,, Bullard Engineering Co.,, Bryant Electric Co.,, Locomobile Co.,, Raybes- tos Co.,, Bifton Machine Co.,, A.W.

 A meeting of the merchants, fnan- cial men and business men of the city will be held next week, probably Tues day, and further plans for the under writing of the loan will then be dis cussed. Thirty per cent. of the loan must be paid back fn seven years, this sum amounting to $900,000. Citizens who underwrite the loan may do so on the partial payment plan.
 Very favorable terms are offered to any person who wishes to purchase one of the houses, and it is believed that many of the buildings will be bought before the expiration of the | loan.

COTTON MEN TO CONSIDER THE
 FUEL PROBLEM

Boston, May 16.---New England Manufacturers met at the state house today to a call issued by W. Frank Shove of Fall River, president of the National Association of Cotton Man |ufacturers, to consider fuel problems. Representatives of the fuel and rail- road administrations and the war in- |dustry board also attended.
 MT. Shove, in explaining his req sons for calling the meeting, said that although the output of coal in this country for the first four months of this year was per cent. greater than for the same period l,.st year, there had been decline in coal receipts in
 New England. He added that there appeared to be little possibility of a further increase in rail receipts and that if New England were to avert a fuel shortage next winter more se- rious than that of last winter, water receipts must be increased
