EDWARDS TO WITHDRAW
 NAME FROM PRIMARIES
Wants National Convention Made Up of Unpledged
 Democrats. ->

Trenton, N. J., March 13.-cover- nor Edwards who asked that his name be left off the presidential primary ballots in Illinois, announced today that he had sent similar re- quests to his supporters in other states.
 The governor set forth his req sons for not wishing his name placed on the primary ballots in a letter to Ira l.. Sawin, an Indiana support CT, which he made public here.
 Tt is my opinion," the governor wrote, that the national convention should be made up of unpledged democrats who will be left free to choose as their standard bearer that man who m ost fittingly represents the principles for which the party stands. When l say the principles for which the party stands [ mean necessarily those things which are best for the nation. Nomination for the office of president which no one can decline, should not be made dependent upon personal equation but rather upon convictions of and the principles for which the candidate stands.
 There are certain questions upon which I have pronounced and de- cided views and I shall do all that I co.Il to lHuuCe the convention to 1n- corporate in the platform Of the party declarations on those subjects. As you well know one of them is the eighteenth amendment to the fed eral constitution. It is my mature judgment that I should not allow my name to be submitted to the people in any primary for the reason stated. Furthermore, wherever I have been placed in nomination it is my pur- pose to request that the nominating petitions be withdrawn"

CURTIS WILL TRY 10
 GET (. Q. P. NOMINATION
Third Ward Alderman An nOunces He is Candi-
 date For Mayor.

On a platform of a better New Britain and a gradual change towards different business conditions in the city goVernm ert Alderman o. F. Curtis announced this afternoon that he would seek the nomination for mayor of the City of New Britain in the republican primaries.
 The alderman, who has becn con nected with city affairs. through a. rious political offices, for a number of years stated dhat though he has had long experience in governmental matters here, he is no moss ba cll'' and will earnestly work, if elected, towards furtherng progressive meth ods- He is not in a position to make promises, he stated, of an eXagger- ated nature, In his belief the city should be run on a careful economi cal scale, with a consistent effort to gain full value for every cent ap- propriated, eliminating, SIS far as possible, waste in government. We should take care of what we have" said MT. Curtis, "and keep it in re pairs, also placing in tho city what may be absolutely necessary ill the way of improvem ents.'
 As far as the existing personnel of city officials is concerned the candi-
  honest endeavor to secure the best available men who arc qualified for duty, on~--tha r4Narious boards, ;Ie would not SO in for q, clean sweep but would gradually make improve mentS, if possible, at the times when offices termnated Appointees would be chosen with an eye to the class Of work they were to do, with the big gest ana best men in each position. -Partisanship will not be considered the chief requisite for a place and the mere fact that a "staunch follow CT and supporter of my own wished job would not assure him of the po- sition,''
 Alderman Curtis favors charter changes which would simplify. city government and would work towards getting better results. One of the ideas is consoldati ting the power in a main directing body of efficient men. He says, 1T believe, with the reorgan- ization, that We have reached the peak of high tax and would work to- wards reducing it where it may he done without injuring the progress Of the city"
 Although A1aNor George Quigley has not yet expressed his intention of running, it is probable that the re- publican primaries will again narrow down 70 a choice of these two. The republican nomination is tautamount to election.

D'ANNUNZIO FORCES
 STRICKEN BY FAMINE
Absence of Merchant Vessels With Supplies Leaves Fiumc in Desper- ate Condition, Dispatches Say.

Plume, March 13.-Famine seems to be near in this city. No food has been brought in during the last three weeks and Italian naval units con- yov all merchant vessels from An coma and Venice so that further seizures by the d'Annunzian forces are impossible. As a consequence there is much suffering among the poor and food prices are enormous. There is no coal in the city and horses have been driven out to graze on the hills nearby, there being no feed for them here. There have been rumorS that Captain d'Annun- zio's forces would attack Croatia in an effort to obtain supplies.
 Fears have been expressed that Bolshevil outbreak is imminent and there have been disorders recently in which the soldiers have partici- pated and which resulted in the death of one man.
 Deportations of persons who have lived less than ten years in Plume continue and it is expected they will be mpleted soon. Those leaving are for the most part Hungarians and Croatians. some stablishrn ents being forced to close because their entire staffs have been ordered to leave.
 Captain d'Annunzio is still firm in his resolve that Plume must be recognized as an independent state but mem bers of the national council are said to have discussed a plan to form the provinces Of Plume, Alp bazia, Sussak, Veglia Zara and Se- benico into a republic.
