SENTIMENT BEARISH

Strike Along Water Front of
New York Induces Buy

Chicago. Oct. Rumors about an
embargo upon certain classes of ship
ments to the port of New York rallied
corn toward the close today. The re-
covery was preceded by depression, due
to weakness in the cash article, parti-
cularly in the Southwest where losses
| of as much as five cents a bushel were
recorded, and more liberal offerings
from the country.
The market started firm on covering
by shorts and some buying' through
commission houses, induced by unset
tied weather, in the belt, which offset
whatever bCarish influence Yesterdays

have had. as well as scountcrbalancing
further declines in corn.
Underlying sentiment was bearish,
however. and pressure was applied.

WINS
 IN NEW HAVEN
Reelected by Big Plurality Over
 Republican Rival

New Haven, Oct. S.-David E. Fitz- Gerald was yesterday reelected mayor of New Haven by a plurality of 2,S3O votes over his republican opponent, Major James Haggerty. Mayor Fitz- Gerald polled 11,779 to S,949 for his republican opponent. The mayors wide margin of victory swept into the office for another term of two years the entire democratic city ticket by pluralities averaging about 2,500. The plurality of John E. Doughan, who was reelected city clerk, was only 1882, the smallest of any of the cleo tion candidates. The democrats elect ed alderm en in all doubtful wards At a late hour last night the aldermanic vote had not been counted but it was certain that the republicans haCk car rled the first, ninth and tenth wards leaving probably 12 for the dem ocrats
 The two republican aldermen al ! large who were elected were Nance Rice, son of the late Mayor Frank J Rice and Frederick H. Wiggins. Rice led his ticket with 9,356 votes. The result of the election had been pre- dicted but the size of the plurality o1 Mayor FitzGerald had not been gen erally estimated over 1900.
 Mayor FitzGerald found himself the center of a big celebration last night and gratefully responded to the de- mand for a few remarks. Major Hag- gerty, who was one of the war heroes of the 102d regim ent sent his hearty congratulations to the winners

AMERICA ORDERS
 SHIPS WITHDRAWAL
Action at Spalato Taken to Avoid
 International Complications

Rome Oct. S.-American WarShipS, which have been at SpalatO, Dalmatia, since early last December, are to be withdrawn by Rear Admiral Andrews, on orders from the United States, ac- cording to advices reaching here. It is reported that Admiral Andrews has decided the United States wishes to avoid complications in the Adriatic and has notified Italian authorities that any aggression by Italian troops against the Spalato-Trau zone would be "considered as direct against the United States
 Advices state that American food supplies are to be removed from Spalato That city has been one of the centers from which relief work in Jugo-Slavia has been directed.
 American warships went to the Adriatic soon after the armistice with the Central powers had been nego- tiated.
 They took over section of the coast which has since been known as the American zone on September 23 when irregular Italian troops at tampted to capture the city of Frau from a small Serbian garrison. Ital- ian authorities notified Captain Boyd, the American naval officer in charge of operations, that the attack was unwarranted and asked that the raiders be turned back Captain Boyd sent a destroyer and two submarine chasers to Frau, and he, himself, with an Italian naval officer, went to the scene of the trouble. Admiral An drews followed on his flagship. When they arrived they found the Italians had withdrawn, leaving an officer and three privates in the hands of the Serbs.
 Reports have stated that inter- racial feeling is bitter along the Dal- matian coast, and American marine es and bluejackets are said to have been forced to intervene between Italians and Jugo-Slavs at Spalato.

BETTER PUBLIC HOUSES
British Liquor Trade Announces That Saloons Will Be Improved in
 Tone From Now on.

London, Sept. 21, Correspondence Of The Associated Press.) )-Better public houses, an improved tone for saloons, is the newly announced pol icy of the British liquor trade.
 Rear Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, member of parliament, who was re- gently elected to the directorate of enc of the leading brewing companies Cf the kingdom. said that representa- tives of all sections of the trade had drawn up a bill embodying such prin- ciples as prom otion of sobriety, re- striction of drunkenness, reduction of the number of licenses where they are excessive and enlargement of premises so as to provide greater op- portunities for social amenities.
 Recreation, including reading rooms, facilities for writing, music and games, should be provided" Ad- miral Hall said. The entry into the trade of those who would set up and maintain a high social standard should be encouraged to the exclusion of those who might bring discredit on the industry
