Great Leader. \

Rome. Nov. 17.-(By the AssociS

f-st appearance before the Italian
chamber proved a great personal sue
cess. He spoke to the deputies as he
addressed the leaders Of his Fascist
legtons. and his orders were, received
with similar apparent obedience. I~
2f He announced his foreign and in
ternal policies and warned his adver-
saries that the Fascist government
had come to stay. He did not ask.
but demanded, vote Of confidence in
his government, declaring that If the
deputies refused, their mandates
would be withdrawn.
His bitterest enemies, who had
looked forward to his encounter with
the experienced politicians on their
own battlefield, were disappointed.
and his friends are saying that he is
the greatest leader Italy has seen
since Crispi, and that the Fascist
rule will endure.
Congratulations were showered
upon the youthful leader from all
sides after he had concluded his ex-

HEARST HEADQUARTERS
 OPENED IN NEW YORK
By Associated Press

New York, May 16.-W. J. Con- nors, former chairman of the state democratic committee and now own CT of the Buffalo Courier and En- quirer, tonight established head quarters at the McAlpin hotel and issued statement concerning the rumored candidacy of William R. Hearst for the g0Nernorship.
 MT. Hearst may not be candi- date," the statement said, but he is being forced into the situation by public sentiment which demands a fighter and a guarantee that the governor which publ sentiment elects will do the things he Is elect ed for..'
 Although MT. Connors resigned his official connection with the demo- cratic organization In 1910 he is looked upon as one of the most in- fluential democrats in this state. As chairman of the state organization, he sponsored Mir. Hearts candidacy In 1906. Since then he has been an ardent friend of MT. Hearst and his present action is looked upon as the nucleus of boom for MT. Hearst to succeed Governor Miller
 Mir. Connors' statement indicates that the move for Hearst's candidacy will be placed on a platform of home rule.
