BALLARD AND THE MAYOR SORE
 OVER MEETING

The most prominent feature of the Republican rally at the Casino was the absence of Mayor Wilson and his close friends and Frank E. Ballard and his friends.
 The mayor resented the slight which the Town Committee attempt ed to put on him when they invited John T. King to preside and tried to ignore him by asking him to sit on the platform.
 To this invitation the mayor said in his reply that he exceedingly re- gretted that previous engagements would prevent him from accepting the invitation to sit on the platform at the rally" Ballard it is said did not even receive enough consideration from the committee to get an invita- tion.
 Friends of both men are naturally sore at the treatment that the Town Committee has handed out to the mayor and Ballard and say that cleo ton day returns will show that the committee has made great mistake and that Kings intermittent trips to the city will not make up for the loss of the work of these leaders.

John Clark, With Fractured Skull, Says He Is No
 Stool Pigeon.

John Clark of 1346 Seaview avenue is in the Bridgeport hospital suffer ing from a fractured skull sustained last night in some unknown manner. Clark was found lying in the street at Barnum avenue and Seaview ave- nue late last night by passengers in a passing automobile and was taken to the hospital where it was said this morning that his condition was seri- ous. Detective Sergeant Wheeler wis ited the man at the hospital this morning in an effort to determine if an assault had been committed on the man or whether the injuries were self sustained. Clark refused to talk and could not say when the accid ent happened outside of the fact that sometime between and 12 o'clock last night he was assaulted. He told the officer that he knew who his as sailants were but that he was not go- ing to be a stool pigeon for the po- lice. According to the police Clark was hit by a motorcycle about two weeks ago and at that time also refused to divulge the name of the operator of the machine.

ENGLAND TO FREE
 IRELAND
Cox Says That Un- der Article X England Would Be Released of { the Fear of Having Another Independent Nation So Near Her Governor at Worces- ter.

En- Route With Governor Cox, Worcester, Mass. Oct. 19-Freedom for Ireland by the voluntary act or sGreat Britain was the new hope which Governor James M. Cox was holding out to IriSh-Americans today las he swung into this section of New
 England where the Irish American population is probably more numer- louS than in any other part or the Limited States.
 Developing an entirely new phase kof his interpretation of Article x Of the League of Nations and it's rela- 'tions to the Irish problemS Governor Cox argued that this provision of the league covenant, hitherto regarded by many Irishmen as a kind of watch
 dog set by Great Britain to keep Ire Hand in bondage, will in reality prove her salvation.
 For centuries Englishmen have op- kposed freeing Ireland. Governor COX .pointed out because they reared to hset up an independent state so near htheir own shores. The geographical 1ocation of Ireland, they said, made liner an ideal base for enemy military soperations.
 Article x. the Governor argued, is yunerely the Biblical commandant F.'Thou shalt not steal" guaranteeing gall nations against external aggres- ksion. This guarantee. he contended, lremoves the fear of attack and en- tables British statesmen to rid them selves of a very troublesome propIem tby freeing. Ireland.
 !l .I.et me remind you of this very Isignificant thing" the Governor said, ~'many statesmen have contended throughout the years that Ireland lwouId in all probability have been given her freedom long ago except that England, as some statesmen said, could not afford to establish a Igovernmental entity so near her own Igateway. But under the League of Nations England would have no fear whatever because the soil of Eng sland and the soil of every other ycountry will be protected under ar Fticle x of the League of Nations. ' At the same time Governor COX repeated his pledge to bring the lr!sh tuuestion ito the bar of public opin- don of the world, through article XI Eof the League immediately after kMarch 4, if the problem should still Noe unSolved at that time.
 If Ireland should gain her freedom neither through her own efforts Or by Sthe voluntary act of Great Britain, larticle x be entitled to the protection .of the League against external aggres- sion.
 ''Senator Harding says this is a do- ,mestic question that concerns Great Britain and Great Britain only" Cox ;continued. "My judgment is that II has become world tragedy. l call your attention to the facts that the English papers have been predicting Senator Harding's election and that ktilfee days after he expressed himself Lagainst the interests of the Irish peo- hple, Balbriggan in Ireland, was burn sed to the ground by British soldiers; Sand old men, women and children s7were rendered homeless. Can 1t be possible?

 VIEWPOINT KILLING

Charged with assault with intent to kill and rob Maurice Levy, a store keeper of Newtown, Francis Ray of Lexington avenue, this city, were ar rested here last night and taken back to Newtown this morning where they will be arraigned before a Justice of the.
