DONOVAN IS
 RENOM!NATED FOR MAYORALTY

NOrwalk, Sept 16.---Jererniah Don ovan, former congressman and state senator, was unanimously named by the Democrats last night to succeed himself as mayor of the city.
 The necessity by reason of time limit of law for the nomination of all can didates for the October election brought Leo Davis, a Republican at torney, into the fight on the opposl- tion ticket.
 Concensus of opinion is that Dono- van will have a walk over, the Repub- lican party being widely split and Davis receiving the nomination from fact that was ignored. by many strong leaders of the party. Davis is an East Norwauz man and recently upheld in courts the move to have the East Norwalk water and fire protec- ton supply cut off by the First Dis trict which owns the water system.
 The Democrats have renominated Robert c. Mitchell as tax collector. Wilfred BOdwen was named as candi- date for city treasurer. The Republi- can nominees for tax collector and city treasurer are D. Burr Beach and Spencer s. Adams.

BulIitt, formerly attached to the American peace delegation, be- fore the Foreign Relations Commit tee of the United States Senate, which is printed in London newspapers this morning, is attracting more notice than MT.

CHAIRMAN GOOD WARNS EXTREME ECONOMY MUST BE PRACTISED BY GOVERN
 MENT DEPARTMENTS

Washington, Sept. 16-A deficit of more than three billion dollars by July l, 1920, is facing the treasury even if Congress should not apprO- priate another penny" before that date, Chairman Good of the appro- priations committee, today informed the House, warning 1t that ''greater economy than ever exhibited before" must be practiced by government de- partmCnts.
 Already the government is com mitted to expenditures for the year ending next June 30, of s1O,S31, POI, . 5S5, while the total revenues are es- timated at S7,239, ,92S,24O.
 ''The price of living may be reduc- ed somewhat by a vigorous enforce ment of laws" said MT. Good, but no real benefit will be felt until the cost of production is reduced, and it may be necessary to reduce very ma teriaIly our circulating medium. If the nation is to receive relief from present unrest and from high prices of the neccssaries of life, our people must practice the strictest economy. The government, through it's executive departments, should lead in this cru sade."

l Washington Sept. 16.---Ohicials here in the absence of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing will not com ment upon the report that the United States has asked Japan tosset a defi- nite date for the return of Kiao Chau to China. The general impression in official circles is that the report is well founded.
 Japan's answer to such a request by the government would have an inn portant bearing on the Senate's con- sideration of the peace treaty, as one of the objections to it on which opposition is being centered is the ! ShantUng provision.
 Administration supporters of the treaty feel that a definite announce
 ment by Japan setting a date for the
 return of Kiao Chau would go far to
 remove that point.
 Various Japanese officials have
 stated that Kiao Chau would be re-
 turned but a time never was set.
