Bridgeport will be the scene of the Democratic State convention early in September unless the efforts of the large delegation of Bridgeport Demo- crats who will attend the meeting of the State Central committee at the Co1onade, Savin Rock, tomorrow, goes for naught.
 The delegation will include the three State Committeeman from this city, John A. Cornell, Hugh J. Law cry and William P. Corr.
 The Women's Auxiliary Committee which the State Convention in June authorized will be present and the women of the State will take part in preliminary convention work for the first time in the history of the State.
 The Bridgeport committee men have not appointed their women as- sociates' as yet but it is expected that they will be named at the meeting tomorrow.
 The convention will be held either in the Casino or Eagles hall if it IS decided to hold it in this city and it will probably be called for Septem- Der g and 10.
 No Republican convention has ever been held in Bridgeport but a Demo cratic convention was held here in 1898.

London Gloomy

London, Aug. 9-A deep note of anxiety pervades comment in today's newspapers relative to rejection by the Russian Soviet government of Premier Lloyd Georges request for a ten day truce with Poland. Regard less of the views adopted by different newspapers on the general question of Bo1shevism and on the immediate relations between Russia and Poland concern is reflected by all.
 Renewal of war in Europe is gen. orally considered a possibility and is treated in gravest terms. It is not regarded as inevitable but on one ventures to strike an optimistic note.
 "A very dark hour'' is the Times editorial headline. "Is it war;" asks the Daily News, and the Telegraph declares: '"The situation holds the gravest peril which has menaced Europe since the Germans marched into Belgium
 The attitude of British workers is given much consfd eration by several journals. The Daily News denounc- ed '.the irreconci1ablity of France 're a settlement with Russia" and de- clares:
 'If the decision rested with Great Britain there would be peace with Russia in a fortnight In any case, the newspaper is convinced workers of all ranks in Great Britain will re- fuse to lift a finger and will strike, if so criminal an enterprise as war against Russia is attempted" '"The situation" the Morning Post declares, tthas been so contrived that the allies will be in a position where it is impossible to advance without disaster, or retreat without dishonor.
