F airfiield Police Get No Complaint Against
 Eight I Hold-up Men
Gamblers Who Lost $10,000 In Cash Evidently Prefer To Take Losses Quietly.

Bridgeport gamblers who were held up and robbed of money and valua bles estimated to be wonth more than $1O,- 900, by eight bandits In a pool room at Ash Creek, early Sunday morning, are evidently going to stand their losses quietly The spectacular "stick-up'' was the topic of much dis cussion today, but at noon no official complaint of the robbery had been made to either the Bridgeport or Fairfield authorities. Unless specific information concerning the affair IS made to the police, it Is decidedly inntprobable that the hold-up gang will ever be apprehended.
 Feeling against the place, which IS said to have been opeI ated by Jack O'Brien, of this city, ran high thus morning, and the State Police force also came in for some criticism be- cause of the fact that the pool room had not been put out of existence be- fore now.
 Sergeant Frank VeriIli, Of the State Police, said this morning that he has received no complaint from any of the victims of the raid, nor has he re- ceived orders from Hartford to pro- ceed with an investigation. Fairfield authorities have not taken up the matter as yet, holding that 1t is an affair for the State Police to handle It was definitely stated by a Fairfield official, however, that the State Police were notified some time ago of the existence of the gambling establish ment, and were asked to take some action against 1t.
 According to unofficial reports of the affair, the eight bandits arrived

Conference
 Close-Ups
By MARLEN E, PEW,


 Washington, Nov. 14-Today the cables are busy and the foreign delegates here an anxious ly sensing home government opin- ion. A session of the conference is due for tomorrow afternoon, two days having been given for consideration of the startling naval armament limitation pro- posal of the government of the United States.
 For Great Britain, MT. Balfour is popular1y expected to say to MT. Hughes: My government &C., cepts both the principle and the fact of your proposal" Japan is expected to say: Nippon accepts your very interesting proposals in principle and Is delighted to dis cuss the details. We must ask the kind indulgence of the con- ference in the matter of irnmedi- ate decision. A new cabinet Is forming at Tol<io. The situation is somewhat awkward for the Japanese delegation at present. Discussion of the proposals seems in order."
 Events are moving with amazing swiftness. The program has not been made public but there seems no doubt that MT. Hughes will lSdo tue way LOnOrrOW to the formation of committees for study and tentative action upon the questions involved in the nav al proposal, many of which are technical and must be referred to committees.
 Presently there will be another bombsheu announcement upon the Far Eastern question. Poli- tica1 institutions are so inter- woven with the naval holiday scheme, that there can be no such thing possible as the conclusion of one question at a time.
 At the end of the green table sit three yellow men, seeming power less in the deliberations, who rep resent nearly as many human be-
