 To Be Sold
 In 10 Days

The plant of the Bridgeport Herald Publishing company, publishing the Evening Star, will be advertised for sale, and, at the expiration of a 10 day notice by publication. bids will be received for the assets of the com- pany as an entirety, as a going con- cern. The paper will continue pub lication in the meantime under ex- Mayor Henry Lee, who was made permanent receiver today.
 The early completion of the ar engagements for the sale were made necessary because of the fact that the receiver is operating the paper at an actual loss each day, and is by great effort meeting the weekly pay roll, according to testimony offered by counsel before Judge Kellogg dur ing the short calendar session of Su- perior court today.
 A limit of four months for presen- tation of all claims against the con- cern was also established by the court today. It is understood that several buyers are in prospect, and it is ex- pected that the 10-day limit will give any prospective customers an opper- tunity to inspect the plant and ar raneg their finances.

Move Is Up To
 Sim Fein
Door To Irish Peace Nearly Clos e d By Lloyd Georges Action British Officials Op- tinSitic.

London. Sept 16.-The door to Irish peace was nearly closed today. The action of Premier Lloyd George in calling off the proposed peace conference. while not ending nego- tiations between Eamonn De Valera and himself. has brought a possible renewal of Irish hoSti1taeS closer than at any other time since the peace discussions started
 z The next move is up to the Sim Fein- Leaders of Dai1 Eireann and the Sim F'ein cabinet were in con- ference at Dublin today and belief existed in official circles that the Irish woud lose no time in replying to the communication which the premier sent to Dublin late yester- dav.
 British officials, while admitting the Irish situation, expressed the hope that the Irish ModerateS would prevent the breaking of the Irish Armistice and would force a re- newal of the peace negotiations upon 8 new basis.
 In official circles, the opinion was advanced that Premier Lloyd George, by cancelling the proposed peace con- ference, had cleared the air.
 Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre- tary for Ireland, is expected to go to Scotland immediately, to confer with the Premier.
 The forecast was made by an au- thoritative source today that the fol- lowing Irish events might be expect ed:
 1.-De Valera will call a secret executive session of Dai1 Eireann.
 2.-Dail Eireann will order an i'm mediate p1ebiscite.

 In speaking briefly for the city, At torney Com1ey stated that the dignity Of the law was seriously involved in the present controversy.
 Tt is the old question of the un- popular law he declared, tand there are just two courses open-the law must be enforced or it can be evaded by subterfuge or pretext-''
 In handing down his decision, Judge Webb said, There are certain indisputable facts that are plainly evident. The state legislature enact ed a law. and it is the bounden duty that law, even though it may serious ly affect the public's convenience, comfort and desire.
 ftIn the first place l. personally, would never have granted such an in- junction.

 Conference

London, Sept. 16-It was learned from a virtual certainty today that Premier Lloyd George will not go to Washington to attend the Far East and disarmament conference. There are too many big domestic and inter- national questions hanging fire at home to permit the Premier to go to America, although personally, he de- sires to make the trip.
 A. J. Ba1four, former Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and the governments chief consultant on di- plomatic affairs. probably will head the English delegation. It is poss1- ble that A. Bonar Law will be a member if his health permits. For the time being he has withdrawn from all active politics and has been spending most of his time in the country and in Paris.
 Another decisive development IS that there will be no preliminary con- ference in London.
 The head of the British delegation is expected to discuss the agenda with the American and French am- bassadors, but the conversations will be carried on separately.
