HARTFORD CHINESE
 FEARING WARFARE.
Tongmen Meet in State Street
 Tonight to Take Vote

Hartford. Oct. 20 UP)-Hartford Chinatown was tense and watchfui today as hundreds or slant-eyed Orientals gathered for a mass meet ing of the On Leong Tong to de- eide for against a war of retri- button upon the Hip Sings.
 Tonight the tongmen will gather at their State street meeting .place to vote. Whether they decided 10 send out their hatchetmen and gum nfen probably will not be known until some Chinese is found slain in his laundry or chop suey house.
 The On Leongs were reported fearful of interference from Hip Sing gunmen tonight. Police said Tong officers had hired an extra patrolman to walk the State street beat tonight
 Conferences Helo
 George Wong. leader of the local On Leongs has been in conference with Tong leaders from New York and Boston.
 Police said no extra precautions would be taken in the State street district tonight unless they received specific request for extra policemen from On Leong leaders.
 The last serious outbreak of Tong strife in Hartford was four years ago. It was marked by the staying of two Hip Sings in a Park street laundry. The murders never were revenged as peace was declared by Tong leaders immediately after ward.

Upshaw Continues His
 Attacks on Democrats

Natcnez, MISS, Oct. 70 T-CrNs of 'Hurrah for Bilbo" were heard from the audience here last night as former Congressman William D. up- shaw, of Georgia, renewing his speaking campaign in Mississippi in opposition to the candidacy of Gov ernor Smith. called Governor Bilho of Mississippi a 'turncoat governor who reversed his former position to enter the political bed with Al Smith, a dripping wet, and Raskob, a wet republican"
 During Upshaw's attack on the Mississippi governor a slight stir was noted in the audience. and the speaker issued a warning that he had men planted in the audience" to prevent any disturbance.
 Upshaw and county republican leaders were refused permission to remove photogra phs or Governor Smith and Senator Robinson from the hall in the old courthouse, where the address was delivered, but contented themselves with plac- ing picture of Hoover alongside that of the democratic nominee.
New Britain herald., 1928-10-20

100000 men under him and during
 which time the speaker said, he had
 no labor troubles or strikes confront
 tng him. He scoffed st the state-
 msnt of Governor Smith to the effect
 that the republican candidate did
 not posses administrative ability,
 stating that if ever there was . man
 who understood business and econ
 omy that man is Hoover. He criti- cised the democratic candidate for his continuous attacks on Hoover. and his alleged unfairness towards the man who had done more good to humanity as an individual than any
 other single person.
 Speaking of republican economy, the speaker stated that Governor smith was making a grave mistake in referring slightingly to small economies effected in the many gov ernmental departments. Our dem- ocratic friend, forgets. however the biz savings effected through econ- omic administration of national af- fairs" he said. He forgets that our national debt has been reduced and that there were four reductions in personal taxes. by reason of which nearly three million taxpayers were removed from the lists. Our friends will tell you that the job of bring ing relief to millions of starved Europeans during the World War was handed gratuitously to Hoover. isI1 fnl L,t I appointed to the commission ir- respective of his political beliefs, but because of his executive ability-be- cause he was the only man who could carry on the task"
 Many humorous stories, everyone holding some allusion to the demo- cratic party, interspersed the talk of Ernest Charles Carpenter. direc- tor of the bureau of Americaniza- ton in New Haven, and at one time teacher of Calvin Coolidge in the little stone schoolhouse in Plymouth. Vt. He said, Tt is perhaps unfair to allude to ancient history but I can not help bringing out some of the past theories of the democratic party and their results. The theory of states rights was perhaps one of the leading causes of the Civil war. The democrats pushed Douglas 10 the fore as a better man than Lin- coin and offered with his candidacy the right of each state to determine their stand on the question of sla- very. The southern states being democratic naturally supported Douglas and his platform of states rights. and having lost in the fight chose to break from the union."
 He also made an allusion to the effect that the democrats were will ing to forget the past. which was 3 commendable thing, but on the other hand. what have they to offer that the republican party has not offered you?" He deplored criticism. stating that it created a bad impression on the foreigner whose intentions are to become an American citizen. The speaker also devoted much of his time to the praise of President Coolidge.

LADY AS10R'S WIT IS MUCH 1t)O KEEN
It hs AR Pro9tas to Cahnd Poddoa

London. Oct. 20 O - The repor' that . cabinet post will be found for Viscountess Astor, American born member Of the house of com. mons. in the expected ,reconstruc, tion of the British government. l, not taken seriously at Conservative party headquarters.
 In the house of commons Lady Astor is a dangerous debater and 2 colorfui personality. but on such questions as control of tho liquor trade. tender subject in British legislative halls, she has strong con- victions which have made bitter ene- mics as well as staunch friends.
 On such questions her reputation for independence and outspokeu opinion make 1t extremely doubtful whether she could command suGfi- ctent support ever to attain . place in the government In such | post she probably would have to sub merge her personality. Most likely she would chafe under the restraints of tho ''front bench"-where mem- bers of the government daily face their party opponents.
 Lady Astor frequently has incur red the criticism of her conservative colleagues because of progressive views on questions of social legisla- ton. and 1t is expected powerful in- ftuenccs would resent her inclusion in any conservative government.
 On the other hand. Lady Astor probably is satisfied with her pres ent work. She has led an active parliamentary life ever since 1919. when she succeeded her husband as M. P. for the Sutton division of Plymouth. She is the mother of a large family. and in some quarters it is expected she will seek rest from her arduous work in the house of commons as soon as one of her sons decides to enter politics.
 It Is expected that Lord Astor's heir will one day represent the Ply mouth constituency, first held by his father and then by his mother.
 The Duchess of Atholi parliament ary secretary to the board of educa- tion. is the only woman member of the Baldwin government. Miss Mar garet Bonfield. member of Ramsay Macdonald's labor government. was the first woman to attain such a po- aition in Great Britain.
 Politicians will not be surprised If in the reconstruction of the Bald win administration. should the con- servative party be successful in the general election next summer, to see another woman M. P. included in the government. In this event Lady lveagh. who last year gained the southend constituency, left without an NJ. P. when her husband succeed cd to the peerage. Is regarded as the most likely candidate for govetn- honors.
 Lady 1veagh Is the daughter of the late Earl of Onslow. Three of her were speakers of the house of commons. She is the 22d mem- Der of her family to achieve the dis tinction of . seat in parliament.
