 President Wilson's spokesman struck at once at the emotional quail ties in the appeal that Bryan had made He dismissed the great effort of the Nebraskan on prohibition all most without notice, approached his own topic with lightness of touch that brought laughter at times and with ccnsumnate skill sought to turn aside the rush of feeling Bryan had counted upor- The crisis was over- It hardly needed the effort of Sen ator Glass as platform committee chairman to assure the complete vic tory for the administration forces and the committee draft platform which followed Even the crowd In the galleries appeared to expect 1t, for | despite the tribute it had paid Bryan ] a chuck1e of amusement and spat- l ter of hand-clapping greeted the vol ley of tremendous noes" which sent : the Bryan treaty plank to defeat The vote on the dry plank was over whelming, a roll call having been de manded by Bryan, and it went down with almost to l against it In the s succeeding votes on his proposals the thunder of the negative almost plotted from memory the fact that a Scatter- I Ing, feeble murmur of ayes had pre- fceded it in every case

MAYOR
 WILL NOT:
 COMMENT
Confers With City At torney As To
 TrOlleys.

Following conferences with Lucius S. Storrs, trustee of the Connecticut Company, and City Attorney William H. Comley this morning, Mayor Will son refused to discuss the trolley situ- ation in any shape or form. He linn tted the time for the reporters ques- tions this morning to three minutes and the daily meeting was ended be- fore the gong sounded. He ,volun- teered no information whatever eN- cept to say that he had talked over the situation with City Attorney Com ley, but informed his listeners he would not say what they talked about
 The statement of the Connecticut Company puts the entire situation up to the city of Bridgeport, suggesting that jitneys be so regulated that streets where there are no car tracks be allowed the use of the jitneys.
 The mayors,was informed that the traction company puts the entire sit uation up to the city, but he said he had no comment to make. He said he didn't know whether the troll ley situation would be taken up by the aldermen at Tuesday nights meeting or not.
 That an effort is being made to straighten out the wrangle is shown by the conference held by the mayor with the city attorney. Just what will be done is problematical.

MESSAGE FROM
 MARSHAL F0CH
Sends Fourth of July Greet. ings to American
 Legion

Indianapolis, July 3-A Fourth of July message from Marshal Foch was received at American Legion head quarters today:
 My dear comrades of the Ameri- can Legion,'' 1t says, q hail you as the worthy grandsons of the officers, non-commissioned officers and pri- yates whom Washington commanded.
 ''It will be the honor of my life as a soldier and a Frenchman to have had among the army of democracy and of liberty your splendid army, brilliantly commanded. always ready for any offensive.
 Heroes of the dark hours of yes- terday, comrades in battle, let us be brothers and faithful friends in the peace efforts of tomorrow.
 "Our orphans, supported by your admirable men and women, will lay flowers at the foot of Washington's s statue, our soldiers will render Lit erary honors to your flag upon which is emblazoned forver the name f Chateau -Thierry, Saint Mihiel, Thiau- court and of the Argonne. In their name I salute your star spangled flag: to the glorious dead of your three wars, asleep in divine peace, I express the respectful and affectionate hom- age of the sincere friend of the United States

COMPANIES STATEMENT

addition must maintain the greater portion of the pavements on the streets in which it's tracks are located and contribute towards the cost of all bridge renewals. It performs a full measure of service for more than IS hours of each day and during snow storms keeps the streets open for the passage, not only of it's own cars, but for jitneys, delivery wagons and other vehicles. Its service must be continuous and dependable. No means of conveyance not confined to definite track areas can supply the amount of service required, especially in a city with narrow central streets.
 The jitney operates wherever and whenever the individual owner pleases without regard to the necessity or convenience of the community and the jitneys alone cannot give an en- tire city such service as is necessary for its continued growth and pros perity.
 There are areas in the city of Bridgeport without any means of pub lie transportation through which mo- tor bus routes would be of great ser vice and would meet a real public ne cessity, and we are advised that it is within the power of the city to estab- fish such routes and to confne jit- ney opera ton thereto By doing so material improvement in public trans portation woldd be afforded and, by eliminating ruinous competition the continued operation of street cars would be made possible. Without some action of this kind continued. op eration is not possible.
 - In making this statement the trus- tees desire only to point out the real situation They have no wish to take any unreasonable attitude. The point Is simply that sthe street railway ser vice cannot be carried on in the face of existing jitney competition. And if such service be discontinued it will be because under existing conditions this company cannot make enough money to pay it's expenses.
 The trustees desire to call attention in this connection to the fact that the Connecticut Company has no legal process available to it for restriction or control of jitney competition or service either by appeal to the courts or to the Public Utilities Commission while the city government, as they are advised, has adequate power in the premises

BAILEY. HELD
 IN $100 BOND

Herman Fabbri of 196 North Wash ington avenue suffered a compound fracture of the right leg and frac- ture of the left arm. and Nichola Magoli, of 36 Goodsell street sus- tained fracture of the left shoulder, when a truck on which they were riding with seven other men collided with an automobile driven by H. A. Bailey, of 28 Cottage place, at the corner of Laurel and Iranistan ave- nue shortly before o'clock yester- day afternoon. Both men were taken to St. Vincent's hospital for treat m lent.
 Bailey, who was arrested immedi- ately after the accident was arraisned in the city court this morning, charg- ed with reckless driving. and the case was continued until July '. Bonds were fixed at S100. All of the men who were riding in the truck were employees of the Bridgeport Gas Light Company.

THREE INJURED
 IN AUTO SMASH

Travelling east on the Post road in Fairfield this morning, a Automobile car bearing a New York license plate, skidded and crashed into g, trolley when the driver of the car attempted to turn out for another automobile that was coming west Three passen- gers of the Hupmobile were slightly injured and taken to St. Vincent s hospital. Inquiry at the hospital this noon failed to throw any light on further details of the accident or those injured, the hospital auth o-i- ties saying they would not give out the names
 According to the report filed at the Connecticut Co.'S offices there were three passengers in the automobile, three women and a chauffeur Ac- cording to the officials at the Con- necticut Co.'S offices the name of the three injured persons was Levy. They gave their residence as the Hotel Lorraine, New York. They were dischsrged from the hospital this af- ternoon-

BOARD CARES
 FOR 50 CASES

The Federal Vocational Board con- tinued it's sittings in the County Court house today and disposed of about 50 additional cases. The sessions of the board will continue Tuesday and Wednesday and all disa bled service men who wish to take advantage of the inducements offered to train them in some congen1a1 and useful occupa- ton should see H. l.. Cutie at the Court House one of these two days.
 Connecticut is the only state in the country that has had the advantage of having the government experts come to them for this purpose. In all other states the disabled men are either obliged to go to Washington or New York in order to have their cases attended to or were compelled to make their claims by letter. This is often very unsatisfactory meth cd.

Just as Harding's name filled the air as the probable Republican nomi- nee, three weeks ago this morning, on tho final day of the Republican convention, so William G. McAdoo's name appeared to be in the ascend- aucy as the delegates assembled to- day with this difference, that the Ohio candidate had been agreed upon by the elements in control of the s1tua- tion at Chicago, while the New York mans supporters had still to fight stubborn opposition with no definite assurance of success
 Friends Of Attorney General Palmer and supporters of Governor Cox took into careful account the reported strength of McAdoo but expressed no fear that he could wifi the nomination zn tho face of the strong opposition of some of the party leaders The Palmer and Cox men would concede nothing but claimed they would DICK up many delegates from the scattered candidates who were expected to van ssh rapidly
 McAdoo men admitted their candi- date had the opposition of certain leaders but said that il WAS not well organized They claimed his strength was increasing constantly
 Reports that New York would throw most if not all it's strength to NdcAdC,0 were heard early today Lesamerss of the delegation, however, xromld not discuss this except to say they would stick to Governor Smith until further notice
 The night was given over to confer snceS among the field marShaaS of the opposing forces. Effort to find a Hard ing for the Sam Francisco convention had been unavailing but although the movement in opposition to McAdo o had failed to produce g ralying point or to coaleSce, its eD en1ieS declared, v the opposition was st1M there, seem ansly of formidable proportions While it did seem to offer no slate for beat Ing MoAdoo, it continued to occupy a position where the Mc.Adoo forces ha yroduced no tangible plan for beat ing it
 One considera ton which ed to make iii difficult for the anti-MCAdoo forces to make progress was that there was no way to trade McAdoO ont of his position by direct methods as none of the men in charge of his campaign here had any authority and there was nothing to be offered him in way of 2 Jplace that wou1d interest him The IcAdoo appeal was today being di- rected to larger states such as New York.

The inquest into the death of five year old Anthony Grofe1a was re- stunned by Coroner John J. Pheian this morning and Mrs. Bessie Arnse1 of 14S Washington street testified that she saw the boy run from the sidewalk in front of the automobile driven by William Fox and saw the car run over him and stop a short distance after it had hit him.
 She said that the autom obiie was going at a slow rate of speed and could not have turned as there were vShic1es on both sides of the narrow street.

MANY EVENTS
 PLANNED FOR 4TH
Holiday Features at Clubs
 Baseball at NeWfield Park

With the "No Hope" sign hung out by the weather man this morning and Bridgeport in the grasp of steady downpour of rain, it looked as though the plans of the Glorious Fourth celebration that is scheduled to start with the fireworks at Seaside park tonight would necessarily have to be postponed and the. events of today and Monday would have to be all crowded into Mondays program
 The most encouragement the weather man at New Haven would give out this morning was that Mon- day would be probably fair. The circus is due to arrive in Bridgeport from Stamford in the wee small hours of Monday morning. The pa- rade will leave the circus grounds promptly at 10 o'clock, march east on Fairfield avenue to Main street, down Main and out State street, back to the circus lot. Two per formances will be given, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
 The Wheeler & Wilson band will give a band concert at Beardsley park at 3 o'clock. Open air danc. ing will be enjoyed by those who at- tend.

MAKE RECORD | FOR TREATMENTS

More than 30 patients were treated at the Emergency hospital yesterday establishing a, record for the present year, according to a statement made at the City Dispensary this morning.
 Ten per cent. of the cases treated at the hospital yesterday were due to accidents received by impatient boys who were a little premature in shoot ing off frecrackers and other fire works. Besides the cases treated at the Emergency there were a number of ambulance calls answered.
 Preparations have been made at the Emergency to handle all accid dents which result over the holiday. Due to the fact that the fireworks ce1e- bration for this evening has been postponed it was announced this morning that the ambulance would not be stationed in Seaside park as was planned.

SEES EFFORT TO CRIPPLE JITNEYS President of Bus Associa- tion States His
 Views.

Harry Frank, president of the Park City Bus Association, said that the statement of President Storrs of the Connecticut Company which was given out today, shows that the whole purpose of the company in threaten ing to discontinue service in this city on July 5 was to try to get laws pass ed which would cripple the jitney ser vice.
 Frank said that the statement about cleaning the snow off the streets was untrue. Everyone re- members said MT. Frank, that dur ing the past winter the company made no effort, for days after a heavy snow fall. to clear away the snow from their own tracks even. When they did tackle the snow they simply piled it upon the sides of the tracks and caused more trouble to ordinary traffic than if they had left it where it feIl.''
 Frank also called attention to the fact that the jitneys ran through the storms and immediately after the largest storms the jitneys were the only means of transportation the peo- pie of the city had for several days.

A recent resolution adopted by the Manhattan Lodge of New York of the A1nalgaInated Workers of America has been received by the local lodge of the same organization in this city and was unanimously adopted by Lodge No. 30 of this city at a meeting held last night.
 The resolution calls on all metal workers and transportation men in this city to refrain from working on ammunition that is being shipped abroad to be used with the intention of subduing Ireland, Corea, India, and other provinces who are fighting for their freedom Similar action was re- gently taken by the metal workers in England, Italy and Belgium
