 Washington Bureau of New Britain Heraid)
 Washington, Nov. 5.-The Armi- stice Day pilgrimage next Sunday to the home of former President Wood row Wilson is expected to be of far greater importance than either of its two predecessors and may outline very clearly the position of the democratic party on international af- fairs in the campaign of 1924.
 Connecticut democrats will take a very prominent part in the exercises if the present plans of the commit tee on arrangements are carried out. Homer $. Cummings, the democratic national committeeman, and Edward NJ. Yoemans, democratic state chair man, former Congressman Augustine Lonergan and a number of other prominent Connecticut democrats have been invited and are expected to be present.
 Strong influences are at work to have Senator Carter Glass of Virginia act as the spokesman for the throng that will call at MT. Wilson's home.
 In view of the impending national campaign the Wilson pilgrimage as- sumes unusual interest and impor- tance this year. It is expected also to serve as an outline for party poli- cies to be more fully set forth in ad- dresses at the Jackson Day banquet which will be revived with a big gathering of democratic party lead CTS here in January.
 The leaders and the voters of both parties will undoubtedly anxiously await the views expressed by the spokesman for the pilgrims and the response of the invalid former presi- of. the past four years have effected any change in the views of the Will son democrats towards the treaty of Versailles, and to weigh what will likely be the position a the demo- cratic party towards tho league of nations and the world court in tho campaign of next year.
 1t is planned to have present tho governors of tho states of Woodrow ernor Trinkle of Virginia and Gov ernor Silzer of New Jersey. and many prominent leaders from all over the country.
