RECORD IS NOT
 CLEARED AS YET

Hartford, March 25.---Miss Katha- rine Ludington, president of the asso- ciation, today issued the following statement:
 '"The Republican party in conven- ton assembled passed a resolution placing itself on \ record in favor of granting the right of suffrage to wo- men and requesting the governor to call a special session for the purpose of passing upon the federal suffrage amendment, but the Republican party also endorsed and retained in power the men who have bitterly opposed woman suffrage, J. Henry Rora'back, Charles Hopkins Clark, John Buckley and others.
 '"The suffragists of Connecticut will hold the Republican party squarely responsible for it's record on the fed eral suffrage amendment and that , record is not cleared by the vote o1 the convention yesterday. When Con necticut has ratified the suffrage almendment in a special session of the legislature the record of the RepubE- can party of Connecticut will be clear and not before.''

 THEIR SPRING ATTACK

Warsaw, March 24-Bolshevik at tacks have been launched against the Polish line at scattered points along and the long planned spring attack by the Russian Soviet armies apparently has been commenced.
 While the Bolsheviki have made some small advances at some places, despite the desperate resistance of the Poles, the latter have been holding the enemy in check in most sections, say official statements. The Reds have been compelled to retreat from several newly acquired positions along the front but fighting still continues. 1ery, tanks, armored cars and other apparatus captured from General Denikine on the South Russian front
 Most severe fighting took place on Tuesday on the Polesian- -Podolian front near the Galician frontier, the Bolsheviki continued their attacks on this sector in an effort to capture Rovono, an important railroad cen ter, and Ram menetz-Podolsk, a city highly prized because of it's strategic importance. Further north in the region of Rzecycza and Kalenkowitz, northeast of Mozir, the enemy took several small villages which were re- covered by the Poles after a days fighting.
 Heavy engagements are also re- ported in the vicinity of Zaslava.

ROBINSON IS WELL PLEASED
 OVER EVENTS
Believes Mayor Strengthen ed Position By
 Attack.

Questioned this morning regarding the probable effect of Mayor Wilson's attack on Roraback yesterday on the latter's chances for governor, J. A. H. Robinson, town chairman of the Re publican party, stated that the senti- ment among Wilson supporters is that the mayor has strengthened his posi- ton rather than weaken it by his ex- pose of conditions as they exist in the party's affairs in the state.
 MT. Robinson further stated that when Republicans throughout the state come to anafyze the figures presented by the mayor at the con venhon yesterday showing the strik- ing difference between the way the Roraback faction handled things and the successful manner in which Bridgeport G. O. P. affairs have been governed by John T. King, they can not fan but to take steps to remedy existing conditions.
 "No matter how it may effect the mayor personally" said MT. Rebin- son, che may be conscious of having been of real service to the party and coupling his work with the fact that MT. King put over the Women Sui frage resolution our organization has won a victory rather than a defeat. We have no regrets or apologies to make"

Railroad Will Not
 Observe Ordinance

Hartford, Conn, March 25.---The New Y York, New Haven and Hartford railroad law will not conform to any local daylight saving ordinance or law, at least not so long as there is not more uniformity of time among cities and towns which it serves, especially fin Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

 It was the result of a. conferences of railroad officials at New Haven We'd nesday afternoon and information was given out that train schedules would not be changed. It was pointed out that if changes were made great con- fusion would result.
 Hartford's daylight saving ordinance goes into effect next Monday. With out a change in time of arrival ot trains in the morning which tho1- sands of commuters travel business is likely to be seriously disturbed. What effect the railroad compary's decision will have is today problematlcal.

Expect Woman to Die From Her
 Wounds.

Coyle and Ambulance Driver Chris tian Kost, was holding his thumb over the bullet wound to stop the es- caping flow of blood. His efforts, however, were but partially success full for on the arrival of the am bulance the floor about her body was literally soaked with blood and the wonan's condition is said at St. Vincent's hospital to be such that but little hope is held out for her recovery.

GET BUT ONE
 REM0NSTRANCE ON DAYLIGHT LAW
Belief Is That Ordinance Will Be Passed
 Tonight.

The only rem onstrance against the daylight. saving ordinance which Is scheduled to come before the Com mon Council at the special meeting tonight in the City Hall is one filed by the Bridgeport Central Labor Union and received in the City Clerks office this morning.
 The remonstrance reads as follows: ITO the Honorable Board of Alder
 men:
 ''In accordance with instructions received at the Central Labor Union in regular meeting assembled on Wednesday, March 24, I am to in- form your body that the Central La Dor Union of Bridgeport wishes u enter it's most vigorous protest against the passage of the proposed Daylight Saving ordinance.
 'fW. s. HOFFMAN. Secretary"
 Despite this protest it is general opinion among the aldermen and oth- CTS interested in the proposed ordi- nance that the passage of it tonight is a foregone conclusion.
 It was pointed out at City Hall to- day that the smaller towns in the vii cinity of Bridgeport can very easiI! follow Bridgeport's lead into the mat ter of daylight saving by calling town meetings and passing Q similar meas. ure, thereby saving any confusion which might result at difference in time between the outlying towns and Bridgeport.
