 London, Oct. 14-UP)-With the League of Nations launched upon an economic punitive offensive against England, fear was felt here today that Mussolini may answer with broadsides from Italian war ships.
 one salvo would be enough to make the flames of war in East Af- rica leap across the Mediterranean to Europe.
 Some dozens of cargo vessels, laden with munitions destined for Ethiopian troops, have been hover ing for weeks in the Red Sea, the United Press understands on good authority, merely waiting for the ac- ton the league has now taken-lift- ing the embargo against delivery of arms to Ethiopia.
 Peace Would Shatter
 If the Italian navy should decide that delivery of such cargoeS consti- tuted an act of war, and respond as Mussolini has repeatedly declared Italy would to any .warlike act, world peace would almost certainly be shattered.
 The possibility that Rome might interpret munition ship movements in that light cannot be regarded as remote in view of the steadily ir- creasing naval activity in the Medi- terranean on the part of both Italy and Great Britain.
 With tension in the great inland sea growing hourly greater-as indt- cated by reports that British and Italian ships no longer exchange courtesy alutes-strategic points from Gibraltar to the Red Sea are feverishly strengthening their de- fences.

REPUBLICANS ARE
 SURE OF STATE
(Continued from Page 1.)

N6C 4'I were not entirely with the president on some of his major proposals"
 Results of three city elections, to be held Nov. 5, were awaited to complete the picture. Bridgeport was expected to remain socialist Hartford republican and New Hav- en democratic.
 Selection of 8 gubernatorial can- didate was not without complica- tions, although the state conyen- tions are nearly year away.
 Leans Toward Danaher
 Hartford county leaned toward former Secretary of State John A Danaher, a fried of labor and popular among the younger element States Attorney Arthur M. Brown Norwich, a forceful orator who re- fused to let his name go before the convention last year, ranked high in favor. Others mentioned includ- ed former Congressman John O. Tilson, New Haven; State Senator Benjamin HarWood, Chester; former U. s. Sen. Frederic c. Walcott, Nor folk; State Rep. Noah Swayne, Darien, and former Lieut.. Roy c. Wilcox, Meriden, who has a large veteran following.
 It was considered unlikely the campaign would be hampered by any independent movements, such as occurred during the past four years and gains made by close or ganization of young republicans would offset the socialist threat in Fairfield county.
 Democrats in Puzzle
 Coy. Cross persistent refusal te be drawn out on his plans for 8 fourth term left the democrats with three possible candidates - Gov Cross, State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone, New Haven, and Mayor Frank Hayes, Waterbury who was reelected to head the city administration last week by a great ly reduced majority.
 Hayes, who is Acknowledgements had some support from the old guard faction which already claims to hold the balance of power in the next state convention. Many in both parties believe the New Haven and Norwalk contingent will merge with the Thomas J. Spellacy group of Hartford to bolster Hayes nonina- tion.
 Should the governor step out 1t was certain he would insist upon Tone to succeed him. Should this be the case there was a possibility of Tone-Danaher scrap, bringing to- gether two of the youngest strat- egists of the opposing parties.

Supply bases have been established on a line roughly ex- tending through Edagamus, Adigrat Adinefas, Abba Garima, AduWa and the vicinity of Aksum. The points mentioned are about 60 miles south of the Eritrean frontier.
 Outposts, the communique said have penetrated past Endamicael Enzad, Adj Beles and Amariam. All of those points, the war office said will be occupied within a week when the general advance is resumed.

wake of his bombing planes, the conquest of the country may be &C., complished before the economic and financial penalties of the league can have any effect.
 With 8 puppet emperor set up after the fashion of Henry Pu-Yi in Manchuria, Mussolini will have achieved his aim. Britain will be faced with the accomplished fact of Italian conquest of Ethiopia, al- though Mussolini can claim to the world that it is not conquest, but ar Italian "protectorate" to permit the Philippians to rule themselves under benevolent guidance.
 Two Choices For Britain
 Britain then would have only two choices-to permit Mussolini- to make terms and get away with his ambitions, or fight him. To say that the latter alternative is distasteful to Britain is putting it mildly.
 Therein lies the danger of a Mediterranean outbreak. If Britain decides that blockade is the only way to stop Mussolini before 1t is too late, there will be trouble.
 As Britain lifted her arms em- bargo against Ethiopia today, fear was expressed by some observers in London that Italy might try to in- terfere with arms shipments in the Mediterranean, precipitating a clash.
 Sons of Italy Approve
 Boston, Oct. 14.-UP).-The sons of Italy were on record today as approving every act of the mother country in the Ethiopian conflict.
 At a mass meeting in Boston Gar del last night, about 10000 1talo- Americans enthusiastically endorsed a vablegram of commendation to Premier Mussolini.
 A statement by Supreme Vener- able John M. Di Silvestro that Eng land is the disturber of world peace brought uproarous shouts of bravo.
 The meeting followed 8 colorful pa.ade of 15,000 which was witness ed by several hundred thousand.
 "Italy has been presented to the world as a bankrupt nation entirely by British propaganda" Di Silves- tro said. Through her gigantic and devilish plan to crush Italy, England has even attempted to bring the United States into the Ethiopian sit- uation to make great war out of a tribal clash.
 England brought America into the World war and she is attempt ing to do it again. Our own neu- trality laws, however, are thwarting England at her own game-getting other nations to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for England.
 England, and not Italy, is the dis turber of world peace. In her vicious campaign against Italy, Eng lanl has tried to crush the greatest living statesman and humanitarian of all time-Mussolin

At the annual meeting of the American Bridge League, held re- gently fin connection with the na- tional championship tournament m New York city, Mrs A. c. HoH- meier of Cleveland had the distinc- ton of being reelected president of the Women's Auxiliary. The first event on the program was the na- tionaI women's team -of-four cham pionShip contest. When the scores were totaled, 1t was found that Mrs Hoffmeier and her teammates had won the first of the national chanl- pionship titles to be awarded dur ing the week.
 This is the second time Mrs Hoflmeier and her partner, Mrs Anne Rosenfeld, had won tbis tro- phy. Three years ago they won 1t in Philadelphia, when 1t was the Women's Auction Team trophy.
 In tournament bridgey you're supposed to get into the right con tract the majority of times, but the title usually goes to the pair or team that is on It's toes for those extra tricks. Given the oppor- tunity in to-days hand, Mrs Horc- meier was not slow in making five odd.

The annual banquet of the Bus- 2maaD and Professional W0men's Club held at the Elton Hotel last night was voted huge success by Hho members and their friends who attended. Miss Minnie Condeil of Hartford, president of the State Federation of Business and Profes- eional Women's Clubs was present and brought the greetings from the clubs of the state. Miss Florence 0reenleaf, president of the local club acted as toastrnistress.
 Mrs Chase Going Woodhotge. who is at present Q teacher fin economies at Connecticut College from the North Carolina Univer- sity spoke to the club on "Women in Business"
 There has been too much em- pllagis on keeping young people at school during these times of de- pression," said Mrs Woodhouse," .T do not underestimate the value of education, but feel that. the ans- wer to the depression is not in pro- : longing the time a person spends } fin the schools. There is plenty of work to be done in the country. and it has been an erroneous Idea that there are so many people to do just so much work, and there Is no room for the extras
 "Neither is the answer in pen- sioning people when they become | certain age. A person should con. :inue to work until the time of her usefulness is past. She should be kept on regardless of age until she has proved that her age has made her incompetent and useless in her type of work. Statistics show that salaries keep increasing until q woman Is 55 years of age, with the penk of the salaries coming at that :ime. If salaries keep increasing until that age, certainly the useful ness of woman is at its peak at that time., Salaries certainly would not increase after Q person had ceased to be at her best in her work"
 Mrs woodhouse stated that one cannot separate women from dem- ocrAcy. In Germany and Italy, wo- men could not get together in the kind of meeting which was at the Elton last night. It would not be allowed. The women's organiza- tions of this country have q great power and should really exert themselves in clearing up the difl- culties that beset US as a nation.
 'sWomen," said Mrs Woodhouse "have Q great nuisance value' and should use 1t. Even should they tell every man they meet that there was no need for the depression and ask him what he was going to do about 1t, they would soon have the men really getting down to bust ness and thinking about what could be done to relieve the situation. She must not think of herself so much as Q woman" as a "persoi." a person who will not only tackle the problem of the woman in bus mess, but the community as Q
