MAYOR WANTS ACTION
 ON TROLLEY PROBLEM
Would Have Cities Unite in Drive for Better and
 Cheaper Service

Mayor A. NJ Paonessa sent a letter today to Mayor Richard J. Kinsela of Hartford, recommending a confer ence of mayors of Connecticut cities where the lines of the Connecticut company are operated, with view to bringing about better trolley service with reduced rates.
 The mayors letter follows: {. Hon. R. J. Kinsella, Hartford, Conn.
 My Dear Mayor:-
 New Britain is in the same posi- ton as regards it's trolley problem as Hartford is, and I have appointed a Transportation Committee to take charge of our interests We have had several hearings before the Public Utilities Commission, but no relief is in sight, and I am firmly convinced that the best way of obtaining immc- diate results is to make an agreement with the company itself. 70,
 Gan it be brought about that a Committee of Mayors in our state, of cities where the Connecticut company operates, talk this matter over with representatives of the Connecticut company? Then we would be in po- sieon to know what the company would be willing to do for us, and If it is case of a finish fight I would be only too glad to be in it.
 Best wishes,
 Respectfully.
 "A. M. PAONESSA."

Ambassador Child A- iterates American Re- fusal, That There May Be No Further Doubt
Despite This, Foreign Dis patches Declare This Country Has Reserved Its Final Decision.

Genoa, May IS, (By Associated Press) Sir Edward Griff announced on behalf of the British delegation this afternoon that further advices had been received from the United States government that it did not seem likely the United States would participate in The Hague meeting, at least until the scope of the meeting was better understood.
 Ambassador Child Explains.
 Asked to explain the British dele gates statement Richard Washburn Child. the American ambassador told the correspondent he had conferred with Foreign Minister Schanzer of Italy, Premier Lloyd George being present. and had amplif1ed the Amer ican position concerning The Hague meeting already explained in the note of Secretary of State Hughes.
 The object, said the ambassador. was more fully to explain the atti- tude of the United States in order to make it clear beyond the possi- bility of doubt.
 Reuters Dispatch.
 Reuters today states that a reply has been received from the United States with reference to participation in the projected commission at The Hague on Russian affairs, saying the United States reserved it's decision pending a further invitation and until the situation becomes clearer.
 The foregoing does not make it clear to what communication on the subject of the proposed conference at The Hague the United States is re- ported as replying. A Havas dispatch from Genoa Wednesday night said it was understood Premier Lloyd George had sent another message to the United States government after receiving the American note declining participation in The Hague commits sion in which Mir. Lloyd George gave fuller explanation of the plan for the meeting at The Hague. It was said at the state department in Wash irgton early today however, that no additional message mad been received.
