expressed however. that Great Britain will not consent to such asplan es- pecially at a conference at which there is no provision for Greek repre- sentation.
 Further danger to the success of the conference is seen in the firm de- cision of the British not to retire from Chanak and should the Turks make this retirement one of their condi- tions it is foreseen that an agreement might be impossible. Approval of the Turkish proposal it is pointed out would be a substantial concession to the kemalists as the allied powers in their note made the neutrality of the zones of the straits one of their chief conditions and only promised to use their influence" to effect Greek withdrawal from eastern Thrace.

148 TOWNS HOLDING
 MEETINGS TODAY
Prelude to November Elections Seen in Political Activities in
 Villages.

New Haven, Oct. PA prelude to the November elections, the town meetings in about 14S places today had some interest to the electors. In many years gone by these meetings on what was widely known as little town election day" were regarded as a political index to the state election, Increasing problems within the towns, the taking out of the annual election of one or more of the important town offices and the independence often shown by the voters in laying aside party lines, have taken from the town elections the factors on which proph cts were accustomed to forecast what would happen in November.
 The advent of women as franchised voters in special towns elections and their candidacy fo offices in great many instances has finally robbed these meetings of political signiti- canoe.
 Not many town meeting days have been more pleasant than today
 A big turnout was everywhere re- ported. In very few of the towns were there any special questions to De decided which had been fought out elsewhere. Tn Harwinton and Durham the free text book question was up for settlement, This is a matter which other towns from time to time have settled for themselves.
 In Canton, Miss Mary E. Lewis ex- pected to be elected town clerk, town | agent and town treasurer. and having | beth republican and democratic en- dorsement her success was assured.

FRENCH CENTER ALL
 HOPES ON MEETING
Government Believes Worst Is Over. But Is Not Any Too Optimistic
 Over Outlook


 Paris. Oct. 2. (By Associated Press) French hopes for the peaceful set clement of the Near Eastern crisis are centered upon the Mudania confer ence. While the government believes the worst is over there is no desire to be too optimistic pending deter imitation of the two main issues by ehe generals in consutation-nar ely the evacuation of eastern Thrac, by the Greeks and the neutral zones by the Turkish forces
 The French representative at Mu- dania is expected to support the Turkish proposal for the evacuation of the neutral zones in return fol' the immediate evacuation of eastern Thrace by the Greeks. The fear is

GREAT BRI7AIN|S
 A BIT MORE HOPEFUL
Thinks Peace Farley May
 Avert War

London, Oct. 2 (By the Associated
 Press)-There was q relaxation today
 Of the feverish tension which the
 critical Near Eastern situation caused
 in Great Britain. Mustapha Renal
 Pasha. treasured by M. Franklin
 Bouillon of the allies good faith, has agreed to an armistice conference and
 given orders for the suspension of
 military movements in the Chanak neutral zone and cessation of the Turkish irregulars activities in | Thrace.
 No Dangerous Delays. | To obviate tedious and dangerous | wait, with the possibility of local | incidents between the Turkish and | British forces who are within pistol shot of each other on the southern side of the Dardanelles, the confer ence has been set for tomorrow at | Mudania, on the Sea of Marmora. The Angora government will be rep resented by Gen. Ismit Pasha, com mander of the Turkish armies on the | western front, and the British by Brigadier General Sir Charles Har- rington. France. Italy and Greece also will be represented. Should the meeting be successful as seems likely a peace conference may be summoned by the middle of the present month. Turks Want Quick Action. The Turks desire speedy action, de- claring in their reply to the allied joint note that it is indispensable that Thrace, to the west of Maritza river, with Adrianople, be evacuated imme- diately and restored urgently to the government of the great national as- sembly of Turkey.
 The question of the Kemalists' vio- lations of the neutral zone of the straits against the expressed edicts of the British commander is expected to be threshed out between General Har- rington and Ismet Pasha before the actual conference begins tomorrow
 Hope Is Brighter.
 The despondency which has marked the press comment for the last few days gave way to hope today al though not to absolute confidence that war has been averted. Some of the commentaro maintain that the inn pTOF6HleHt CduHOI De IS6dIueu do more than temporary, but the ma jority believe peace ought to result from the present arrangements.
 The belief is expressed that if the Turks can be satisfied at tomorrow's | meeting regarding the safety of their -religionists in Thrace peace may | be looked for. The Times prints a report that former Premier Venizelos of Greece supports the adoption of | any reasonable measure to allay the Kemalist alarms regarding the safety | of the Thracian Turks
 Suspicious of Venizelos.
 Opinion, however, is divided re- garding M Venizelos' adherence to | the new regime in Greece viewing his | influence on Greek politics as very | unfavorable and fearing that any pos ! sible intervention by him in the Near Eastern situation at this critical mo- ment may be mischievous.
 The bulk of the press opinion is that General Harrington has saved Great Britain from war thus far and there are many eulogisms of his tact and skill the hope being added that he will be left a free hand to deal with the situation until it is settled
 The government newspapers and these include nearly all--renew their strong criticisms of the govern ment's handling of the whole ques ton.

FREE PREDICTS TIGHTER
BAR ON IMMIGRATION
Representative and La Guar
dia Argue at Meeting.

A prediction that the next Congress
would enact an even more stringent re-
striction on immigration than the present
per cent quota law was made by
Representative Arthur NJ. Free of Cali
fornia before a meeting held in Town
Eall under the auspices OF Tiger Post
No. 23. American Legion.
The meeting. called to discuss whether
the United States should stop immi-
grafton for five years. developed into a
lively debate between Mr.. Free and
Fioreilo II. La Guardia. former Repre-
sentative. in which the audience, con-
slsting of two hundred or more. joined
from time to time with Kisses, boos and
jecrs.
William +. Kehoe, secretary OF the
Central Trades and Labor Council OF
Greater New York, urged exclusion OF
immigrants for FIVE years. American
born citizens who had fought in the
world war were walking the streets last
winter, he said. while unnaturalized
aliens were holding down comfortable
jobs. He asserted that coolie laborers
were working on the Rice Stadium
under construction at Pelham Bay Park.
Major La Guard,a replied that the city
had nothing to do with the actual con-
struction OF the stadium. which, until 1t
was completed. was under the control OF
the Rice estate. Mr.. Kehoe contended
that a protest to Mayor Hylan had re-
suited in no action.

Although the tonnage laid up is not
generally the most efficient. the average
value OF the idle vessels is estimated a.
not less than S45 a gross ton. Thus the
total capital involved the world over is
in excess OF S450.000,G00. Based OH
costs of construction. the figure would
be much higher, as much of the tonnage,

was built after 1915 and at the peak
of building costs.
Adding to all the idle capital the cost

shipping industry attain tremendous to-
tails. Yet the owners are saving money
by not operating their ships in ballasS
